A wonderful Pagods.

The great Buddhist shrine, the
Shway Dagon at Rangun, is no tenn

platform to height of 368 feet and
all completely covered with gold leaf.
This platform, with perimeter Of
nearly 1,l00 feet, is the place Of wor-

1t Is n solid stupa of brick raised over
a relic chamber. A cutting made into
its center has revealed the fact that
the original pagoda had seven castings
added to It before 1t attained its pres

Diet and Digestion,

Abstemiousness in diet is very con-
ducive to good digestion. 1t is prefer
able to be a little underfed than at all
overfed. Hence we come to one Of the
first causes of indigestion in the adult,
too large a quantity of food. After an
ordinary meal the food should all have
left the stomach by the end of six or
seven hours. If owing to an excessive
quantity the stomach cannot deal with
the amount some food remains In the
stomach and ferments. This creates
discomfort pain, wind, nausea and
perhaps vomiting, by means Of which
the abused stomach gets rid of its bur-
den. If the sufferer is not thus fortu-
nately sick the best thing he can do is
to drink large tumbler of lukewarm
water. which will probably induce vom-
iting and so wash out the stomach.
Half a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of
soda added to the fluid will cause still
more relief. During the next twenty
four hours the lightest diet, such as a
little tea and dried toast, some boiled
rice, little arrowroot or corn -four,
should be taken.

boulevard and EspInnade.

Both "esplanade" and boulevard" are
military terms by origin. The original
"boulcvard" was bulwark or horizon

mace" was originally the glacis or slope
OF the counterscarp of n fortified place.

word boulevard was nov chiefly taxi
ell for the void space between the gla-
els Of a citadel and the first houses Of
a town." hence Its extension to other
"void spaces" suitable for promenad-

The most curious almshouse in Eng

in the church, which is fine old build
ing dating from 1850. 1t was originally
a monastery, but when Queen Eliza
beth came to visit there she turned it
into an almshDuse to endure as long as
almshouses exist. The old ladies have
two neat little rooms each down the
sides of the main church, with Win
dows looking out on the garden. They
have each a coal supply, a kitchen
range, water and gas. At one end of
the church Is the chapel, where daily
services are held. The choir stalls are
beautifully carved old oak, the original
seats that the monks used. The church
stands in II quiet little square.

How the Builder Was Evolved.

In the nerth hall OF the British Nat
rral History museum skulls of domes-
ticated dogs are arranged which illus
trate the evolution of the modern bull
dog from breed which, according to
old pictures, was more of the mastiff
type. Bull batting was common sport
in the thirteenth century, and there
Is later record which draws dis
tincton between bulldogs and mastiffs.
Low, in his "Domesticated Animals of
the British Islands," points out that it
is essential that dog which makes
frontal attack on bull should be both
UNDERLYING and short legged, that 1t
may get firm grip of its antagonist
and avoid its horns. We may therefore
be sure that, as the bulldog was gradu-
ally evolved from the mastiff, these
points were held to be Of prime i'm
portance.
