Slams Million Priests,

According to lecture on Siam deliv-
cred recently in London by John Bart
lett, that country has more than its
share Of priests. The population Of
Siam, he said, amounted to about
100000, and a curious feature was
the large preponderance Of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok. The Chi
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce Of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants.
One million of the people were in the
priesthood. He had travelled up river
through the main territory Of Siam for
a distance Of $50 miles, and during the
journey 1t had been absolutely impos-
sible to get out Of sight Of temple.
In each temple there were from 10 to
300 priests, supported entirely by thu.
people. OF the 100000 priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The re-
naming 100000 were passing through
the priesthood. Ea sa-s--

Its an amusing mistake. The farmer

will work from 16 to 20 hours for sew.

work when he is sick or suffering se-

he takes short intervals Of rest, like
everybody else. The human engine

you'll find that he really rests more

oh. you doggoned lazy rascal! # you
only had to work like mey The truth
Is that the chap he envies is putting an
amount Of concentration and continued
energy into his daily toll that would
kill the man who works with his hands
alone In less than week.

SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY.
Its Preparation In Modern TheateI
an Interesting Process.

Its Preparation In Modern Theaters
an Interesting Process.
The preparation for a new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned. is most
interesting. A complete model in min
iature is made, about the size Of one
of the German toy theaters seen In the
shops. The picture is carefully painted;
the rocks, if there be any, and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard, and if the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature, flights of steps,
and the hangings, all seriously worked
out. 1t is something that would de-
light the heart Of a boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced, and are then put away
on shelves, alas only to warp and be-
come covered with dust. S.. r.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per-
Torrance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; so there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers Of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may be
obtained.
When every detail has been settled,
then the great acres Of canvas are
spread on the paint frames, and the
drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are filed
with paints, which are mixed with
water and a size, and enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas. 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist, who dashes on the paint with
no apparent care and who has to work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries, which it does quickly

JESS AND. THE BEAR.
BRuin Saved the Man, but Lost His
Life In the Bargain. =.

Bruin Saved the Man, but Lost His
Life In the Bargain.
There Is q story connected with the
last bear killed about here which fond
grandpapas often told the children
seated on their knees. 1t appears that
the celebrated Uncle Jess'' had spent
all his life as trapper and hunter, and
never a mishap had befallen him. But
one night, in his anxiety to shake a
coon, he climbed the shell of an old
tree @r,-
AS he began shaking the neighbour
ing limb the stump to which he was
clinging gave way, and he sank feet
first into the hollow center All efforts
to escape were impossible, and the
pious hunter had resolved to pass the
remainder Of his life in prayer, when
toward night his supplications were in
terrupted. Looking up, he beheld the
eye Of bear looking straight down
at him. II.
Then the animal turned about and
backed down the inside of the stump.
Hardly knowing what to do, Uncle
Jess put up his hands in protection and
grasped the bear. Now it was the
bears turn to be frightened. He
scrambled up again, while the hunter
hung on for his life and was carried
with safety to the top. &.sa
Here the bears real trouble began,
for with SO heavy weight it was Inn
possible for him to turn about and
back down. so he tried it head first,
but that was no easy matter to the
beast, and he fell with heavy thud
to the ground below and was killed,
while Uncle Jess went home and told
the truthful tale, to be handed down
to his children--Springfeld Republic

When starting for the river, says a
writer in London Field, if you have to
turn back and get something that you
have forgotten, you are sure to catch
little or nothing that day. This is an
article Of Devon folklore, and I am in
clined to think the west country folk
right herein. The disappointment,
the hurry and the bringing Of wrong
things always act periodically upon
what out to be the unruf1ed,
even temper Of a successful angler. He
becomes hasty and rash, most often
with Ill results to his basket.
In the western highlands it is cur
rently believed that if you see a colt
