A BARGAIN.

Belinda bought bargain
Black net to make dress;
Marked down from something fearful
To half the price, or less.
It only cost four dollars.
The lining cost fifteen,
Aud fifteen more for chiffon.
The silk and net between.
Then forty yards OF ruching
And thirteen pounds of let,
Some lace, a little velvet
To brighten Up the net
Then twenty for the making
1t is a bargain gown
II only cost four dollars,
Because It was marked down.

The First Burmese Novel.

A new departure in Burmese litera-
ture, in the form ef a publication of a
Burmese novel, has been welcomed in
Burma, says a correspondent. To every
one familiar with the literature of the
Burmese-and, unhappily, they are
not many-there is no doubt that this
departure will be welcomed as a re-
lief from the tedious tales printed in
ponderous volumes and written in con-
ventional style.
An educated Burman well known in
Rangoon has had the happy idea Of
writing the novel somewhat on the lines
Of those issued daily by the publishers
in other countries. The task was one be-
set with many difficulties, the first
and greatest of these being the Ian
guage itself, for it's flexibility in ex-
pressing new ideas makes it, we are
told, very unwieldy instrument in
the hands OF even the most ACCOMPLISH
ed scholar. The cause OF this stiffness
is to be found in the evolution of Bur-
mese literature. The first Burmese
novel which introduces this new de-
parture from conventional literature.
and surprised and even astonished
Burmese readers, has appeared in SER
ial form in the Friend of Burma and
will be shortly published in book form
with illustrations. The story is enti-
tied "Maung Gin Manng Ma Maydo
Vatthu." 1t is interesting, we are
assured. not only as to its pilot. but as
giving much valuable insight into Bur-
mese family life and into the customs
and practices Of the Burmese people
Burmese life is painted. not as seen
through European glasses, but from

springs from typical "Junker" or land
baron stock. and is accordingly one Of
the pillars Of German agrarianism, that
powerful political sect which refuses TO
recognize that modern Germany has
lost its status as an agricultural state
and must arrange its fiscal policy TO
meet the demands of industry, which is
now the nations support. 1t was Kar-
dorff and the influence Of his imme-

high tariff upon Germany, with its CO.
lossal grain and cereal duties. and con-

menace of the British feet, have pro-
voked critics to call him a 'weisser
hitzkopf'-a white-headed alarmist.
Yet he is one Of Germany's most pic
turesque political figures and will be
widely missed when he passes off the
stage of active political life.

Smcide Impulse at Sea.

Births, marriages and deaths are
very common at sea; cases of suicide,
although not materially swelling the
records Of deaths, are by no means in
frequent. 1t often happens that mental
depression is accentuated by the vast
ness and solitude of the ocean. The
sense of loneliness, helplessness and in
significance has been known to develop
into suicidal tendencies. Strangely
enough, during an actual tempest the
sense of self preservation seems to
overpower the desire for self-destruc-
ton. Some months ago a young lady
on board a steamer bound for a Cana
dian port evinced much apprehension
as to her safety during violent storm.
Less than two days later. when the sea
was calm and sailing conditions pleas
ant, she climbed over the bulwarks
and threw herself into the ocean.
The fascination of watching the
swift flow of water from the propellers
at the stern of a vessel is a well-known
cause Of suicide. Even sailors who
have gazed down at the surging stream
have been overcome with the morbid
impulse to leap into it. In the Red
Sea and Indian Ocean, Lascars. mad
with heat, have leaped out of the en-
gine-room and at a bound have dived
overheard, never to be seen again.
Lack of success in America or Aus
tralia has driven many an emigrant TO
seek oblivion in suicide. Two cases oc-
