Restless Neighbors.

How Very much of our time is los;

inopportunc times.
Many garments remain unfinished uH-
I'll we have lost all interest in them. for
the reason that we are interrupted 50
There are many kind, well-meaning
women. who do a great amount of good
deeds. vet the evil they do unintentionai-
~ more than cOuuterbalanceS them.
They are never cOntentcd to sit down
quietly at home to think and plan for
the comfort of their household. but con-
suit with their immediate neighbors over
their most trivial affairs, and many late
dinners and other annoyances are brought
abolt through these over-the-fence con-
ferenceS.
They are bringing their children up in
the same restless manner; they make
poor grades In school and hold the classes
back. because their minds are continually
distracted by other affairs.
When their discouraged teacher inquiries
the reason they have not prepared their
lessons, their answer is that they either
had company, or went out with their
mamma to spend the evening, and in all
probability they have been the cause OF
other children being disturbed and their
time taken up In entertaining them.
Their parents depend entirely on the
teacher and take no interest whatever
in their school work. and when the emil
dren fail to pass Il creditable examination
the teacher must bear all the blame. when
the fault lies wholly with themselves.
They are never taught TO have any
dignity. nor repOse Of manner, nor con

Sacred Elephant Pageant

OF all the spectacles presented to the
eyes of the Duke and Duchess of Corn

weirdcst was the perahara, or procession
Of elephants. These exhibitions are part
of the Buddhist ritual. and Ceylon is
noted for its elephants. A sacred stud Of

upon the balcony Of the white house with
the massive white pillars. The gardens
were shrouded in blackness and silence.
Suddenly, from the distance, came the
sound of the tomtom and the shrill note
of the chiefly pipe.
There is a subtle sameness in all East
ern music. The tomtom and the pipe OF
the devil dancer were in my ears as the
echo of the Dcrvish drum and omobeiha
sounding the charge of Omdurman. The
