from the increased standard of mo-

MARRIAGES IN Burma.

Burma is unique among the coun-
tries of the East in the position &C.
corded to women. There is no purdah
there, and, gentle as she looks, the
married woman is the head of her
house. The girls, before their ears
are pierced, which is equivalent to a
coming out reception, are allowed to
roam about the streets playing boyish
games with their brothers and their
friends. and afterward there are many
opportunities for young men and wom-
en- to meet at festivals, boat races and
other gayeties. Marriages in Burma,
therefore, are usually love matches,
and the unmarried woman is in no
hurry to change her state. Burmese
women are charming, generally slen-
der, dainty and demurely coquettish.
They wear gayly colored garments,
which make them look like flower
beds, and their hair, which is shining
and smooth, is always uncovered and
decked with flowers.

Indiana Vice Presidents.

Four Indianians have been nomi-
mated for the vice presidency since the
Civil War-Schuyler Colfax and
Charles w. Fairbanks on the RepubIi-
can ticket and William H. English and
Thomas A. Hendricks on the Demo
cratic ticket. ColfaX ran with Grant
in 1868; Hendricks with Tilden in 1876
with General Winfield Scott Hancock
in 1880
Out of these nominations Indiana
has had but two Vice Presidents-C
fax and Hendricks The latter was de-
feated the first time he ran, in 1876
but was successful in 1884, while En-
glish was defeated in 1880.

SAVING A CITY.

II. J. Whigham, who went through
the Cuban War and earned fame dur
ing the South African War by his let
tiers to the London Morning Post gives
the following story in V. G. Of cour-
ageous missionary who brayed a city
full Of Boxers:
1t happened while I was in China,
just after the Boxers had torn up the
Manchurian railway and were playing
hanky -panky with law and order. The
Russians had to stop this sort of thing,
and they did it in their usual fashion
by marching from city to city, destroy
ing and loOting as they went.
On these expeditions they generally
got Protestant missionary to go with
them, in most cases a Scotchman or an
Englishman, to act as interpreter. The
missionaries were glad enough to go
because they hoped to check in some
measure the frightful excuses of the
Russian sOldiery.
In most cases the cities and villages
laid down their arms without a MUIR
muir and waited for the Russians to
walk over them. But at once place
something happened. The Russians
marched up to the gates and were just
about to enter when the Boxers open
ed fire upon them. The army was
withdrawn, the batteries We're got out,
and the general was just going to
smash up the city when the Scotch
missionary, Doctor Westwater, APP
preached him and asked for a mo-
ments truce.
Il undertake." he said, ito enter the
city and to induce it to surrender with
out q shot being fired on one cOndi-
ton"
(Which is?'
THAT there shall be no destruction
and no looting; none whatever
The general yielded, and mounting
his pony. Doctor Westwater rode for
ward to the city alone.
Now when you consider that the city
was full Of Boxers, you will realize
that it was a pretty considerable act
of courage for a missionary, Of all
men, to ride unarmed through those
seething streets. This was what West
water did The city was roaring
hive of armed Boxers, muskets peep
ing from roof and window, and the
streets ringing with the noise of arms.
At the missionary quarters Doctor
Westwater was fortunate enough to
find a Christian convert, who conduct
ed him to a place where the merchant
gid were holding sort of cabinet
council.
Westwater explained matters, ap-
pealed to the citizens to avoid blood
shed, and pledged his word that
neither destruction nor looting should
mark the Russian occupation of their
city. The appeal was successful, and
he rode quietly back to the Russian
general.
The general was an awful brute. as
bad as he could be, but Westwater' S
action seemed to impress him, and his
