The First Burmese Novel.
From the Lahore Tribune


A new departure in Burmese literature. in
the form Of a publication of Burmese
novel. hts been welcomed in Burma, says
correspondent. To every one familiar with
the literature Of the Burmese-and, unhap-
PLY, they are not many-there is no doubt
that this departure will be welcomed as a
relief from the tedious tales printed in
ponderous volumes and written in conven-
tional style
An educated Burman we'll known In RAN
COON has had the happy idea Of writing
the novel somewhat on the lines of these
issued daily by the publishers in other
countries. The task was one beset with
many difficulties. the first and greatest of
these being the language itself. for its
fexibility in expressing Few Ideas makes
it. we are told, a very unwieldy instru-
ment In the hands iof ecen the most ac-
complished scholar, r The cause of this
stiffness Is to be found Pin the evolution
of Burmese literature. Yhe first Burmese
novel which introduces this new departure
from conventional literatdre, and surprised
and even astenished Burmese readers, has
appeared in serial form IN 1.-The Friend of
Burma" and will be sh64tly published In
book form with ILLUSTRATIONS. The story
Is entitled "Maung Gin Manng Ma Maydo

Stanley "reminiscences.

The announcement that the king will
probably attend the lecture which Captain
Scott commander of the Discovery on her
voyage in the south polar regions. is to
give at the Albert Hail. recalls another
gathering of the kind at which his majesty,
then Prince OF Wales. present. On
that occasion the scene was also the AL
bert Hall, and the meeting was held to
celebrate the completion of great work Of
explora ton.
But the central figure was a landsnan,
not a sailor. Henry Morton Stanley had
just returned from darkest Africa" and
the world was waiting patiently for his
account of his adventures. He had been
busy for weeks on his book, but 1t was
not yet published, and the thousands Of
privileged people who filled the Albert Hall
thought they were going to have some tit
bits in advance. 1t was splendid assem-
blage. The Prince of Wales and the Duke
of Edinburgh joined in the procession
through the hall to the platform, and Stan
ley. wearing the green ribbon of a Belgian
order, presented to him by King Leopold.
was the cynosure Of all eyes
But not even such an overwhelming COM
plfment as this could divert the mind of
the shrewd explorer from the claims of
business. His contract with his publishers
debarred him from anticipating the official
account of his achievements. and those who
were present will not easily forget the
adroitness with which Stanley succeeded
in addressing that great and distinguished
audience at some length without saying
anything that really mattered.
One also retains vivid recollection of
how the faces of the geographers and the
scientists fell when it was discovered that
Stanley was resolved to keep the whole
thing up his sleeve until the publication of
his book. Even the royal orators seemed
rather embarrassed by the paucity of ma
terial offered for comment, and the Duke
of Edinburgh. who followed the Prince Of
Wales, was obviously uncomfortable.
Sir Henry Irving has begun the long tour
of farewell which will precede his final re-
tirement. 1t was in 1856 that he spoke his
first words on the stage. This was at
Sunderland, In theater now a thing Of
the past, where he appeared as Orleans in
"Richelieu." In 1906 he will speak his last
words on the stage, probably in Drury
Lane. 1t is fitting, considering it's asSocia-
lions, that Sir Henry should include Sund-
erland in this tour. and 1t is an act of SPLEEN
did courtesy that Sunderland should deter
mine to present him with the freedom of
its borough. The veteran actor and his
company left Paddngton this week for
Wales, where the tour starts. The circuit
Of the kingdom will be interrupted for
time while Sir Henry occupies Drury Lane
for spring season, but will be resumed
Immediately after this Then comes a visit
to America, then the final appearance.

the following rules may be set down for
observance: -.-.
Do not overhead the house. Most people
habitually dwell in apartments the temper
allure of which is from to 10 degrees
too high.
Wear light underwear and heavy over
coats rather than heavy underwear and
light overcoats.
Avoid mingling with crowds when ex-
tremely tired or when food has not been
taken for a longer interval than usual
Avoid becoming chilled when overtired.
Admit into all rooms where you live and
work plenty of sunlight and fresh air.
Keep warm when indoors even II 1t is
necessary to build fires in seasons when It
is unusual to do So Avoid indoor chill and
dampness as much as possible. For this
reason be careful to remove the chill be-
fore moving into apartments freshly pa
pered or calcimined.
Be careful during variable weather
Where there is continual cold or constant
warmth the disease is little known
II you have an attack of the grippe be
unusually careful about your diet and about
exposing yourself to the weather Meg
lected colds develop into pneumonia with
startling rapidity.
Take plenty of exercise in the sunlight
and fresh air. AS good nursing is pracu-
cally the only cure for pneumonia SO good
living Is practically the only preventive.

INSECT MENU.
Every Dish on This Bill of Fare Has
Been Esteemed by Epicures.

FROM Pears0ns weekly.
Here is a typical insect menu, of which
no one need be afraid to partake, since
every item has been known and esteemed
by insect eaters for generations past. II
was served, not long ago, at the table of
rich London epicure. who is also an en-
thusiastic advocate Of an insectarian diet
airy:
Green Caterpillar Soup.
Fried Locust with WoOdlouse Sauce.
Curried Cockchafers
Wasp Grubs Baked in the Comb.
Stag Beetle Larvae on Toast.
Moths Baked in Batter.
Deviled Wireworms.
Grasshoppers "au gratin.'
The green caterpillars that compose the
soup feed entirely upon vegetables and
mostly upon particular vegetables most
reliShed by man, such as cabbageS and
lettuce.
In appearance the soup itself is not I'M
like clear turtle while it's flavor is delic-
ious.
The locusts. which constitute the second
course. have. as every one Is aware, been
esteemed by gourmands the world over.
and from the remoteSt antiquity. Eat We

Baptist Is recorded as having lived for
some considerable time upon "locusts and

adopted in this particular instance. Or

cakes. or currded. or boiled. turning red,

The woodl0use sauce. If properly made
with fresh butter. flour. milk. pepper and
salt. will be found fully equal to shrimp,
which 1t much resembles in taste. Indeed
the woodlouse, although he lives on land.
is first cousin to that much-relished crus-
tacean.
Cockchafers. curried or otherwise. are
delicious if selected OF servfceable size
and plumpness. &c. too, are their grubs
when full grown. They should then be
at least two inches in length. and fat in
proportion. and may be eaten uneooked.

able juices, and are simply tiny balls of

at the preference shown by fish for this
particular grub when used as a bait.
