GOING TO SCHOOL IN BURMA.

Shortly after the native college was
opened at Rangoon, the head, the Rev
DIR. 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 att"
From twelve to fourteen"
The king turned to one Of his assist.
ants, 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
nine princes, nine elephants, eighteen
golden umbrellas, and three hundred
and sixty coldlers.
Unlike Mary's lamb, DR.. Marks saws,
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
it 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
to the princes. They talked the situa-
ton over, and made up their minds
what to do.
''You fellows may get up one of the
princes said. "You need not be fright
ened."

etiquette.

in the education of his sons, and they

Russia would have to trust her for

had the japanese practically whipped

doing so. 1t may be that among his
subordinates on that bard-fought field

are always sold by weight, and the
traders tell me that in buying them
of the natives they have to be careful
to see that pieces of iron or bits of
stone have not been driven into the

weigh more.

TO suit them, trying some othel way OF
putting him aside" Coburn Is sane
enough in saying that his case is not
an uncommon one. Many a rich man
does not die soon enough to suit either
his relatives or large part Of the in
directly interested population at large.
Why should riches-the power to do
good and to make progress-be concen-
trated in an old man lacking in energ
and enterprise and without anything
else save those riches? Why shouldn't
the rising generation covet a hoard that
is useless and an obstacle to progress
and Development Is 1t at all unnat-
ural that the affection Of even close
relatives, as we'll as the regard of 9TH
ers, should weaken toward one who
exclusively and selishly possesses ten
times more than all that old age re-
qulres in the way of necessities and
comforts? Greed-the passion fol
great possessions largely an animal
trait Give one COW Of drove all the
fodder and her very calves will assist
in horning her over the fence. There
is more than one millionaire In this
country who will say that, while old
Coburn may be as sane as Solomon on
all other subjects, he has been crazy
as bedbug to believe that he could
have his millions and the sincere love
of those about him While he was
gathering those millions, Coburn was
Matching those "vultures" by incubator

deadly foes. But the very rich men of
our times are learning that there are
several severe penalties that go with
the amassing of great fortunes A mall
who has spent his life piling up one mil.
lion on another, whether honestly or
by craft Of questionable character, very
often wakes up, in his closing days, to
find not only that loved ones have be-
come "vultures" sitting on the fence
gloating over his dying kicks, or giving
him peck to hasten his dying, but
that he has done deadly wrong to
those nearest to him, his children. ne
has stunted his progeny. He has
taught them that happiness lies in pos
session instead Of effort, and that de-
velopment consists in acquiring more
millions instead of growth of brain,
heart and character. He has given
them no knowledge Of true friendship
and unselfish love, and their whole
Journey through life lies between two
rows Of 'vultures" who are waiting for
them to die, or for the wheel of Fate
to make them helpless vagabonds. At
70 years of age, all luXuries have palled
upon them, and there is nothing new,
fresh, bright and interesting left in
life. And they become "vultures" to

In addition to the tusks, the elephant

The tusks are hollow about half way
