guess that it was not very much bet
ter off for being dragged through the
dirt by the string that tied it up.
Arriving at his home with nothing
but the string which had tied the but
ter-for the butter itself had all melted
on its hard journey-Pavluha said to
his mother: Mother. now may / have
my fathers gold watch and chain?"
His mother laughed until the tears
streamed down her face. You must
wait until you are wiser before you
have that" she said, ''and next time
when you bring anything like butter
put it in a nice paper or napkin and
then in basket.
Pavluha didn't bring anything for a
long time, and then it was grapes,
which, of course, did very we'll in the
basket, so that his mother was pleased
with him.
Now, my lad" said his mother
you have proved that you are not so
foolish after all, and so I will give you
the gold watch and chain" She hung
the chain over Pavluha's neck and put
the watch in his pocket, to his great
delight. Strangely enough, the watch
and chain not only pleased Pavluha,
but they made him much more thought
full and intelligent, and he never again
made any of the mistakes which
angered his mother. Perhaps it was the
dignity and Importance of wearing
watch and chain which made him think
before he acted, or perhaps he had
merely grown older and less fighty.
In any event, he turned out to be quite
a boy, and his mother was perfectly
pleased with him.

Jade for the Chinese

Next to the ruby, the jade stones of
Burma are of great value. They are
mined in the northern part of the coun-
try and are brought to Bhamo. on the
Irawadi above Mandalay, and are there
sold to the Chinese. The Chinese prize
jade almost as highly as pearls, rubies
or diamonds. A fine girl is jade girl,
beautiful hand is jade hand and
jade foot is one which is always on
time Nearly every well to do Chinese
girl has jade earrings and bracelets,
and many have jade hairpins and
us I'd for ear plugs as well as for rings
and other jewelry.
Mining jade is more like quarrying
and often the best are obtained as peb-
bles, but there are mines where the
jade rock lies in open quarries. The
stone here is of different grades, vary
ing in quality. Some of the smaller
pieces are worth their weight in gold,
and little bits fit for ring setting will
sell in China for 800 or more On the
other hand there are enormous blocks
worth nothing and tons which can not
be worked by the poor tools of the ma
tives. The mining is exceedingly
primitive. The rocks are cracked by
building fires upon them. They are
then broken apart by crowbars and
wedges and shaped up with hammers
into sizes 1T for transportation The
average export value of the stone is
about 60 cents a pound. that which is
annually shipped down the Irawadi AMI
by the Rangoon to China selling for
something like 100000.

JACK OF ALL TRADES

When Henry Sprigs was but lad
A circus came to town,
And Henry ran away with 1t
To learn to be clown.
But soon he found apprenticeship
AS hard as was the fare
And so he joined an aeronaut
To learn to fly the air.
The aeronaut was killed one day
Ere Henry learned the ropes,
And then he joined the army, filed
With military hopes.
They shipped him to the Philippines
The climate was too hot,
And he was invalided home
Before he fired a shot.

The Baju Salt Makers

There are many ways. of making salt,
but few are stranger or more instruc-
tive than that which is followed by the
Bajus and other tribes who inhabit the
northern part of Borneo, near the sea-
coast In this country a palm tree,
known as the nipa palm, grows in great
numbers, and is used by the natives for
many useful purposes. 1t always grows
In salt water, either along the shores
of the sea itself, or by the side OF riv-
ers and lakes into which the sea flows
at high tides. A considerable quantity
OF salt water is absorbed by the roots
of the palm and much salt lodges in
them. This is the salt which the ma
tives seek to obtain for domestic use.
They first gather together number
OF the palm roots and having piled
them into a heap they set fire to II.
The ashes which are left when the fire
is burned out are loaded with salt,
which the fire has not been able to
burn. A number of large iron pans,
which have been purchased from Chi
nese traders are half filled with water
and fires are made under them. The
ashes OF the burnt flipa palms are gath
cred into a heap and thrown into the
water In the pans
The salt which is in the ashes is dis
solved by the water. but the light wood
aSneS IlSe 10 the SuTIace ana form a
scum, which is removed with the aid
OF ladies or scoops. In this way the
natives are able to separate all the
wood OF the palms from the salt which
they contained, the salt remaining be-
hind in the boiling water BY contin-
uing the boiling they are able TO sep
arate the salt from the water, for the
salt is left behind In the bottom Of
the pans, when all the water is boiled
away.
The salt obtained In this way Is not
very white and its taste Is rather Bit
ter. because there are few impurities
still left in it. But IL is quite whole
some and is sometimes better than salt
obtained from other countries.
Having learned the way in which salt

Same Old Story

Something had gone radically wrong
with Crossley's cistern, and on coming
downstairs the other day Crossley pere
found the bathroom flooded. Off he
went to Potts, the plumber, who prom
ised faithfully to call and repair the
leakage at once.
But the promises of plumbers are
like the piecrusts Of bakers Two hours
elapsed, and still there was no sign OF
Potts By good luck, however, Mrs.
Crossley saw another knight of the
soldering iron and enlisted his services.
He was a smart workman, and the job
was done in a few minutes. When
Potts called about 2 o'clock that day
and was informed that the damage had
been repaired he seemed quite upset.
"Done" he gasped. Then you have
been imposed on, maam. l dunno 90 e
was or what e was, but you can take
my word, IL 'es done the job already e
worn't no plumber."-Penny Pictorial.
The San Francisco call., 1910-05-22

is made by the people of northern Bor-
neo it is interesting to notice one or
two other points, which we can now
better understand In some places not
only are the roots OF the nipa palm
burnt to make the ashes. but any wood
which has been floating in the sea and
become soaked with salt is also placed
in the fire. Sometimes the men who
are burning the wood throw salt water
upon the fire. They are careful, or
course, not to throw on SUFFICIENT to
put the fire out, and as the fire goes on
burning 1t eyaporates the water and
the salt is left behind along with the
salt in the wood itself.
Some times these ashes are placed in
baskets and the water which is to
carry away the salt is passed through
them before il is put into the boiling
pans. AS the baskets retain the larger
pieces of burnt wood there is not then
so much scum 10 take from the water
in the pans. Lastly, much of the work
of salt making is carried on in large
sheds, probably to prevent any Of the
salt being washed away by rain, which
would certainly sometimes happen IL
the work were done in the open air.

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN PAVLUHA TRIED TO Be OBEDIENT
REToLD By LOUISE sOUVAN

~ NOE there was a mother who had
a son by the name Of Paviuha.
one sunday morning she said TO
him: MY dear son, | am going to
church; you stay at home and see that
the soup which Is on the stove doesn !
run over" The mother went TO church
and Pavluha stayed at home. The mo-
ment the soup started to run over he
ran to the church. posted himself at
the main door and shouted ps loud as
he could Mother. dear, the soup is
running overt!
his mother came cut of the church
AT once, but she was much mortified by
having her son make this public dis
turbance Besides, it did no good,
because when they reached home the
SOUP was almost entirely gone, so much
Of il had boiled over.
SO the mother said to Pavluha
..You are truly silly fellow, you
son of mine Next time if anything OF
the kind happens come gently TO me
and whisper it into my ear
The following Sunday the mother
again prepared to go to church and
left her son at home. saying to him
Take care my child, that nobody
carries away the bacon. for Old Win
ter is near and will clean it up nicely
NO sooner DdU the lhOtilcE lclt lOl
church than a beggar came knocking
at the door and asking for something
to eat.
Payluha. thinking the man was "Old
Winter" his mother had spoken of, im-
mediately went up into the attic. took
the whole stock of bacon from the raf-
ters and gave it to the beggar, who,
much surprised, most gladly received
the rich gift and took to his heels at
once.
when the mother returned the boy
ran out to meet her and cried at the
top OF his voice:
Mother, dear, Old Winter was here
and took away all the bacon and lard
there were.
His mother was naturally very angry
with Pavluha when she found what had
happened and declared that the next
time he did anything so silly she would
punish him severely.
For the third time when Sunday came
the mother got ready for church, leav-
ing her son in charge OF the house.
And now. my SON., she said do try to
have your wits about you. While am
away go to the cellar and fill the
bottles with cider so that we will have
some for dinner, but be sure you do
not forget to screw up the tap, so that
it won't run out.
The mother left, and Pavluha went
down into the cellar. He filed two
bottles with cider left the tap un-
screwed and went upstairs. After half
an hour he remembered that he had not
screwed the tap. Hurriedly he ran
into the cellar again, but the cider
already deluged the whole place At
the door stood sack with flour.
Quickly he took the meal and threw it
on the floor into the cider, making the
whole floor look like a raw doughnut.
You may be sure that when the
mother returned she was more angry
than ever with Pavluha. and this time
he got very good spanking. 1t was
long time before the mother again

He tried to study medicine,
But found 1t hurt his head
So thereupon he promptly switched
Into the law instead.
But Blackstone proving somewhat slow
He quickly let it drop
TO run an elevator;
After that he was a cop.
Book canvasser he next became,
Then sold soap in store
All told he tried his prentice hand
AT twenty things or more.
And having thus equipped himself
In many matters, you'll
Admit it fitting he should run
A correspondence school.
