OF the smaller temples are in ruins,
hut some ara still fnirlv perfect.

or tne smaller temples are In ruins,
but some are still fhirly perfect.
At Loro Jongran, close by, are four
teen small and six large temples of
Hindoo deities, silva, Durga and Gan
esh being still represented by finely
carved statues. AT Gunong Praw, an
extensive plateau reached in former
times by four flights of stone stairs,
each of over 1000 steps, on the north,
south, east and west, are remains of
nearly 400 temples, and, to quote Wal
lace again, 1.-The whole country between
here and Prambanam, a distance of
sixty miles, abounds with ruins, SO
that fine sculptured images may be
seen lying in bitches or built into the
walls of Enclosures"
The above buildings are all of a re-
ligious character, but others may have
been used for lay purposes, such as the
so called water Castle" in the city
of Djokj jakarta itself, where may be
seen the remains of high walled in
closures with broad tanks, now over
grown with weeds, but stu showing
their stone terraces and the stone steps
leading to the water, having probably
originally formed the plrasance Of
some Hindoo potentate or possibly,
from their very high walls, Of his
harem. In other parts are many ruins
of forts, palaces, baths and aqueducts,
and at Modjo-Agong over large
stretch of country every road and path
way shows foundation of finely laid
brick work, the paved streets of some
old city of which only traces now re-
main.
One thing is noticeable in all this
architecture-like the ancient Greeks,
the builders knew nothing of the ex-
treme utility of the arch in masonry;
consequently few roofs remain. But in
some places, as at MendOet, near Bara-
budur, complete roofs remain made by
horizontal courses of masonry, each
overlapping the one below it till they
meet at the apex. OF course the roof
for this has to be very high for the
breadth spanned, but for small spans
the system serves Its purpose fairly
well. From the above descriptions it
will be seen that IL some of the energy
spent on Pompeii and Egypt could be
spent on excavations In Java discOv-
cries of the greatest Importance might
be made.-LOndon Globe.

SUCCESS THOUGHTS.

The best in others will only come out
to meet the best In you.
The man with an idea has ever
changed the face of the world.
One reason why we do not make the
most of the winning material in our
selves Is because of a magnifed Idea
of the great superiority of others who
do things in the world.
As a rule no good comes from criti-
cislng others. Anybody can do that,
but the man who can accept his own
honest estimate of himself and resolve
to profit by 1t has achieved something.
No matter what you are doing, think
your way. Don't go without thinking.
Think everything out. Don't run with
out a schedule. Have a programme
and go by 1t. Think! Think! Think!

For sententious wisdom one would
not usually consult either the book
sellers catalogues or the tribe Of mu-
sicians, but a bit Of advice from the
composer Gounod to the violinist Ernst
seems worth detaching from London
catalogue of autographs. Gounod
writes in words that apply to other
arts than music:
mot too much piano, plenty of music;
Dot too much head, plenty of heart;
Not too much study, plenty of reflection;
Not too much piecing together. plenty Of
invention.
Don't listen to those who will tell
you one mustn't initiate the masters.
It's not true; one must not initiate a
single master, but all. In this lay
their greatness, and one cannot be-
come great master except by being
Of their family. Happy he whose re-
lationship is the closest" New York

A VERY CAREFUL WOMAN.
Lady Eltion Could Not Abide Any
thing Like Extravaganza.

Lord Chancellor Eldon was energet.
ically aided in his parsimonious habits
by his wife, of whom it was said that
she and her daughter had but one bon
net between them. The Rev. II. IL.
Barham, author of "The Ingoldsby
Legends" records in his diary an
amusing story of Lady Eldon's penu-
riousness:
"June 1, 1S22.-The chancellor is
very fond of shooting. One morning
last year his lordship intending to en-
Joy few hours sport after Il rainy
night, ordered Bob, the pony, to be
saddled. Lady Eldon told him he
could not have 1t, but company being
In the room, gave no reason. In few
minutes, however, the servant opened
the door and announced that Bob was
ready
"Why, bless me-" cried her lady
ship, lyon can't ride him, Lord Eldon.
He has got no shoes on"
"Oh yes, my lady" said the servant
"he was shod last week"
Shameful exclaimed her ladyship.
How dared you, sir, or anybody have
that pony shod without orders? John"
continued she, addressing her husband,
you know you only rode him out
shooting four times last year, so | had
his shoes taken off and have kept
them in my bureau ever since. They
are as good as new, and these people
have shod him again. We shall be
ruined nt this rate"

Text From Which Is Spun Lots of
STUFF and Nonsense.
| take no stock in the lamentatlon of
the sentimentalists about what they
call "the good old times" There is a
deal of stuff and nonsense trolled off
on this text. Every man over fifty who
is not precisely boor is described as
"a gentleman of the old school," We
need but turn to the English satirists
from Fielding to Thackeray to learn
that all the essential ingredients Of
"Vanlty Fair" had their existence 100
or 200 years ago. In the proportion
that there were more nature and coars-
er fiber there were liyelier dolngs. In
proportion that there were fewer dra-
matte persons upon the stage there
was better play for the individual. l
confess that | like a little blood In
mine. Sincerity even in wiCkedness
has a favor quite its own. But he who
fails to see the world as It is and re-
fuses to take it as he finds 1t falls in
eyitably betwlXt the three legged stool
of a very false philosophy and the
high backed chair of q very Ill judged
perversity, with consequences some
times serious and always humiliating.

There were not many japanese wom-
ell at the party, which made me Won
der considering the fact that there
were hundreds of men present but
perhaps the absence of the many might
be explained by the uncomfortable

were there in most unaccustomed for

badly. Not at all. That is a fiction of
the foreign woman who is pleasantly
blinded to the imperfectiOns of her
own kind
OF course there are no japanese
girls with Gibson figures of lssom
grace and Fifth avenue strides of
splendid freedom, but the same thing
may be said Of many other women In
many other climes. Everybody cannot
be an American girl, you know, and
declare l think the japanese girl runs
some Of her European sisters a very
close second in her ability to wear un-
graceful clothes as gracefully as pos
sible with very limited assistance from
Mother Nature. All Japanese waist
lines run up In front and all Japanese
girls are ''pigeOn toed," but all Japa-
nese girls are gentleness itself, and

John Henry Maedler, the astronomer,
whose favorite study was the moon,
having learned that Frau Witte, the
wife of the state councillor, owned a
wonderful model of his pet luminary,

Of it. As her husband was living, he
could not marry the owner of the mod
el, so he married her daughter, and at
the death of his mother-ln-law the COW

cramp comes on take the cord, wind it
round the leg over the place where 1t

and give 1t sharp pull, one that will
hurt little, and the cramp will cease
