The Oath That Binds the Burmese.

Perjury has been rife in Rangoon
courts because no form of oath exists
which the Burman considers binding.
The Government has now prescribed
q formula, which is queer admixture
of Buddhism, BrahmInism and Sha'
manism. Here are phrases from 1t,
picked at random: IF an untruth
masses my lips, may all the Mats that
live in lakes, ponds and BROOKS ana
the Mats of the five great rivers OF

AFRAID HIS MONEY WAS MARKED
Joke played on Legislator Caused Him
Much larm.

Senator Owen Cassidy, of Schuyler,
county \. V, whose reputation as
story teller has been made in his one
session, tells the following alleged his
torical incident connected with the leg
islatiye career Of former distinguished
democratic member of the upper branch
of the legislature, now no longer living.
Jake" says Senator Cassidy, was
never accused of living on the splendid
salary allowed by the state for its faith
full servants, and his sources of income
were many and by no means above sus'
picion. Like certain OF my colleagues,
without mentioning names, he was de-
voted TO the mysteries OF poker. Once
after a week OF most strenuous legis'
lative labor, in which IL was generally
believed that Jake had managed to get
in on several good things he was
busy at a poker game with some OF his
neighbors at home. In the course OF
round of jack pots he ran out OF chips
and taking a twenty dollar bill from hi
pocket laid it on the table.
while he was intent upon the game
some wag leaned over and made a cross
on the edge of the bill with a red pen
ell. Then another, who was in the trick
looked over, studied the bill carefully
and suddenly seized the statesman''
arm and said, exeitedly, pointing at Tho
red mark:
"'Jake, what's this mark' What
does that mean'
"The legislator, entirely off his guard
eyed the bill suspiciously, picked 1t ~
and held it to the light, rubbed the red
mark, and then, with every show oI
righteous indignation, thrust his hant
into his pocket and pulled out roll OF
bills Of magnificent proportions and be-
gan to examine the edges of the bill'
hluriedly.
"'The darn crossroders, he snarled
as he turned over the bills, i wonder i
they have marked them all!'"
