Burman and Buddha.
From Scribner's.


In Burma you live with Gautama Bud
dha. In India he Is a name, a memory en-
shrined at Buddha Gya, an influence lost
and corrupted IN the great Vedic tide Here
he Is present and active: his finger is on
every lip. his glance in every eye: the low
sky is full Of him. The people have taken
his very impression: he fell here upon q
simplicity and sincerity that have main
tanned him almost as he was Every male
Burman Is at one time or another his
disciple and thousands Of these remain to
be his priests. the priests who give the
peaceful amber note to city crowds, and
make lonely saffron splashes against the
vivid landscape as the train goes past a
monastery In the evening. His image natu-
rally abounds sheltered in shrines, the i'm
age OF the teacher; and one of the most
reyered sits In the Arakan pagoda at Man
dalay. A. an Item in the vtceroys program
the Arabian pagoda makes no great figure.

OF the people. and its fame spread very far

Sheep Eat Bottle Trees.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
During the prolonged drought that has de-
vastated large areas of Queensland, a few
squatters have been able to save a remnant
OF their fiocks and herds by feeding them
on bottle trees. The scientific name Of this
tree is sterculia. but its popular name gives
an idea of it's shape. 1t Is like soda water
bottle, magnified to a height Of four or FIVE
feet The Dubious part contains a mucia-
ginous substance. which is wholesome and
nutritious to those who have acquired its
taste 1t was pathetic to see the thirsty
sheep gather around a bottle tree pick up
the chips chew them and extract all pos
sible moisture.

Lessons in English.
From the New York Tribune.

Ff'11H tHt VIEW 1Ork Tribune.
The efforts Of teachers to increase the
vocabulary OF young pupils by giving them
words to use in sentences of their own for
nation results often In wondrous combi-
nations. An italian boy in Philadelphia,
doing his best to master English, was aid
ed in peculiar way by an observation of
his fathers vocabulary. The other day his
teacher asked the class to write a SEN
tence to include the word disarrange. The
word is in advance of the Italian boys
stock of English. and he was sorely puz-
zled, but too proud to confess the fact

Bees and Ants.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Bees will place their honeycombs In any
place regularly or irregrharly shaped. and
when they come to corners and angles they
seem to stop and consider. Then they vary
the shape of the cell. 30 that the space is
exactly filled. 1t could not be done more
satisfactorily IL the whole thing had been
worked out on paper beforehand. Ants
make hard and smooth roads and drive
tunnels compared to which mans efforts q
making such things are insignificant.

About BoOkbinding

1t seems a somewhat surprising
statement to make that eggs, con-
densed milk, olive oil and vinegar are
all used in the binding of books. Yet
such is the case. The white of egg
Is used for sizing to cause the deli
cate. ornamental igold-leaf to adhere ito
the leather. To make the sizing
perform it's adhesive work even more
~delicately, a little milk is added; and,
TO help further in the important work
OF adhesion, a coating of olive oil or
diluted vinegar is sometimes applied
to the leather. The expert who man
ages the immense bindery of Harper
d Brothers said to a visitor, who had
gene there to watch the rush of work
Oh the New Encyclopedia of United
States History" that he has seen wise
cid bookbinders use the light froth of
ale as a coating over a binding of silk.
The froth held the gold-leaf with per-
feet success and did not stain the silk.
Many of the old expert bookbinders
have little secret methods of their own
by which to produce peculiarly fine re-
suits, and these secrets they guard as
jealousy as the housewife does her
favorite family recipes.
