 somewhat impaired for several years, but not so much effected but that I could hold converse with my friends; but in June, 1901, my sense of hearing left me so that could hear no sound whatever. was also troubled with rheumatic pains in my limbs.

 skate or squat. It attains length of two
 or three feet, and Is a sort of missing link between raies and sharks, and hence science has dubbed it ''raylike shark. T It really resembles skates and devil fish

Burmah's National Dance.

The national dance of Burmah would scarcely find enthusiasm in America. though 1t may be accepted merely as caviare. The Burmese, of course. see nothing but poetry and symbolism in 1t. and as a matter of fact it Is extremely picturesque. It is called the Paey, and the motions of the dancers are similar to those of the celebrated Nautch dancers. Some of the women are pretty and have much grace of movement as they sway to the crude music.

Modest Claims Often Carry More

When Maxim, the famous inventor. placed his gun before a committee of judges. he stated its carrying power to be considerably below what he felt sure the gun would accomplish. The result of the trial was therefore a triumph of surprise instead of disappointment as 1t might have been if he had overestimated his guns efficiency.
