Shortly after the native college was
opened at Rangoon the head. the Rev.
Dr. Marks, says in the Church Family
Paper that the king of Burma came to
him and asked if he would teach some
of his sons. When he agreed the king
asked. what ages do you like them
at?"
From twelve to fourteen"
The king turned to one of his as
sistantS and commanded:
Bring all my sons between twelve
and fourteen to me-"
Nine princes came in.
Four came to school the next day,
each riding on an elephant and with
two golden umbrellas. Each also was
escorted by forty soldiers. Afterward
the whole nine came, so there were
niue princes. nine elephants, eighteen
golden umbrellas and 360 soldiers.
Unlike Mary's lamb, DR.. Marks says,
the elephants stayed outside, but when
the princes came into the schoolroom
all the other boys threw themselves
fiat down with their faces to the
ground. 1t was forbidden for any one
to stand or sit in the presence of
princes.
DR.. Marks found this state Of things
very inconvenient and put the matter
10 the princes. They talked the situa
ton over and made up their minds
what 10 do.
"YOu fellows may get up" one Of the
princes said. "YOu need not be fright
ened."
".tf'er that" says DR.. Marks, Eve

etiquette"

Sarah Henrietta Westervelt was the
name entered in the register of the ivy
clad church. and in her ~ days she
was called Sally. But from the day her
Cupid's arch of a mouth learned to
frame intelligent sentences Jack Hardy
had dubbed her the town crier."
The nickname was so apt that 1t
stuck, being reduced for simplicity's
sake to 4. G. Even during those stern
minutes In the library with her father
he often dropped the sober Sarah for
the more universal I. c.
Il. C.'s nickname was due to her gen.
iuS for the dissemination of bits Of
gossip best forgotten. Her mind SEEM
ed naturally TO empty itself of all In
formation, and young Hardy altered
an old saw into What goes in I. C.'s
ear comes out of her mouth"
As r. c. grew in understanding the
habit got her more firmly in its grip.
Instead of learning to appreciate the
value of reticence, her wider scope of
knowledge served only the better to
equip her for the gathering of sundry
bits of gossip which she would blurt
Dut ut the most inopportune occasions
until not only her family. but her
friends, came TO regard her with an
affection that was not unmixed with
terror.

MORE DEAD ONES
AND FEW MoURNERS.

The electric plant formerly owned
by Tawas City, Mich, is now in pri-
vate hands. No information Is OBJ
tainable from city officials.
The generating plant Of the city cleo
tric light works of Fayetteville, N. c.,
Installed in 1902 at a cost of $780, 900,
has been closed down, and a contract
for current has been made with a pri-
vate company.
The municipal electric light plant Of
Galena, Ill, was installed In 1893 at a
cost Of $4,000. 1t was sold last July
for $4,000, but this price included a
twenty-five year light, power and trac-
tIOn franchise. Under the new con-
tract the city will get practically twice
the amount of street lighting that was
furnished by the municipal plant at
only Is per cent greater cost. The
plant has not been a success. One ac-
count Of 1t says:
Its management was changed as
often as new political cliques gained
power, and at times there was no
street illumination at all. The COM
mercial service was inferior"
News of the action of the council
spread rapidly, and a large crowd con-
gregated in front of one Of the hotels
to express their delight at getting rid
of the plant. A brass band was pressed
into service, and speeches were made
by prominent citizens.
On Aug. s. G. BlatchfOrd took pos
session of the municipal electric plant
installed by the village Of Kansas, Ill,
in 1900. The mayor writes that the
plant was sold "to clean up our in
debtedness." The plant had been in
the market for year before it found
a purchaser, the sale having been or
dered by a vote Of the citizens. A
disinterested citizen wrote as follows
last February:
"The principal cause for dissatisfac-
tion with public ownership was inef-
ficiency or, you may say, economy.
1.-THE affairs Of the plant were at
tended to until recently by three-now
One-members Of the board of trustees,
who received no extra pay Tor their
services and therefore were not as at
tentive to the business as If it had
been their own or they had been prop
erly paid.
The man In charge of the mechan-
ical part Of the plant is an engineer,
but not an electrician, more than one
might be who works entirely by rule
of thumb.
"The bad service deters people who
would otherwise patronize the plant
from using the light. There is no serv-
ice after midnight. Although 1t is gen
orally believed that all night service
and cheaper rates would result in
substantial increase Of business, the
men in charge hesitate to take the re-
sponsibility Of making the change,
which might be losing venture.
Electricity has almost been dis
placed in the business buildings by
gasoline, owing to the cheapness and
being generally more satisfactory than
the electrics under city management"

PENNSYLVANIA GRANGE.
A Committee Visits Washington to Sc
cure q Change In the Oleo Laws.

A Committee Visits Washington to Sc
cure a Change In the oleo Laws.
In accordance with the instructions
from the last state grange commit
tee consisting of State Master Hill,
State Lecturer Dorsett and others went
to Washington last month for the pur-
pose of laying before the members Of
congress and department officials the
desires of the Pennsylvania state
grange with reference to legislation
for better protection of the dairy in
terests. The department Of agricul-
ture of Pennsylvania was also repre-
scented by committee. They had a
spirited and interesting hearing for an
hour and q half before the house COM
mittee on agriculture, after which they
waited on Senators Knox and Penrose,
both of whom assured the committee
of their willingness and desire to do
what they could to protect the interests
of legitimate dairying. Later they call
ed upon Secretary of Agriculture Will
son, Secretary of Treasury COrtelyOu,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Capers and DR.. Wiley, chief chemist.
From these gentlemen they secured
much valuable information. One Of the
members of the committee exhibited to
the internal revenue officials number
of samples of butter as yellow as June
butter, but which had paid but one
fourth of q cent taxes. These officials
alluded to the difficulties they expe-
rience in collecting the proper amount
of taxes and in suppressing violations
of the law. The fact was unearthed
that the government does not have rev.
enue collectors stationed at the licensed
OleO manufactures. This matter was
also brought to the attention Of the
congressman. and it is not improbable
that congress will take steps to RENE
dy this defect in the laws.

PAULINE OUT
 0F C0MMISSISN

Captain N. B. Raymond of the little river steamer Pauline went south to Petersburg yesterday to get engines from Gypsy Queen to take the place of those of the Pauline which have been proven too small. He expects to be in commission with the Pauline in about three week at which time ne is engaG- ed to go up the Porcupine carrying two surveying parties, one Canadian and the other American, bent on locating the boundary. With the Pauline, Cap tain Raymond made a trip up the Stew. art this year beside bringing a party from Dawson to Whitehorse. On this latter trip his engines broke dewn a little below Hootlinqua.
