Burma Ruby Mines.

Very little is known about the ruby
mines of Mogok, in valley Of Burma.
whence come nearly all the large ru-
bies. The valley lies through forest
which is seldom trodden by white peo-
pie. A few Englishmen who live there
have laid out polo ground, and be
tween this and the town are the mines.
The dlggings are slowly eating up the
village, and the main street is already
half destroyed. The work goes on all
day and all night, the ruby bearing
earth being brought up in iron trolleys.
A few strangers who have called at
the mines have been told by the off,
cials that they can keep any ruby they
may End, but no one has ever been able
TO find one. The gems are imbedded
in the gold colored clay which stretch
es along the whole of the valley, and 1t
is only after the earth has been wash
ed that the rubies are seen.

When They Stoned Actors.

Authors and actors of today have
reason to congratulate themselves upon
the disuse Of many of the ancient
Greek methods of showing dissatisfac-
ton in the theater. The worst that a
playwright must reckon with now is an
ironical cry Of "AuthorW followed by a
booing demonstration. But it is on rec
ord that the Athenian audience at least
once forcibly elected an unsuccessful
comic poet from the theater The pelt-
ing of bad actors with vegetables and
questionable eggs is rare now even in
the remotest provinces. But the Athen-
ians did not draw the line at figs and
olives as missiles. Aeschines was said
nearly to have been stoned to death
during his stage career, and there is a
story of a second rate musician who
borrowed a quantity of stone from
friend to build a house with, promising
to repay the loan with the stones col
lected at his next performance.-Lon

MARRIAGE by Halter,

Among ignorant people of English
birth it was once the belief that wife
bought with money or goods was legal
ly married IL the purchaser led her all
the way home by halter
Barring Gould, the English antigua
rian, told of village poet known to
him who bought a wife for a half
crown and led her twelve miles to his
cottage. The squire and the rector pro-
tested to the village poet that he was
not legally welded.
why, yes, be-" he replied. "Pll
take my Bible oath never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the
doorsill and the door was shut"
The latest instances of such wife
sales occurred In 1853 and 1859, when
women were sold in Little Horton and
in Dudley. In these cases blue rib
bon took the place Of the straw halter

Records of winters in the past bring
to light some accounts of excessive
rains. for in 1909 a gauge kept at Mon
umental, in California. registered 1884
inches. Only at Glenora, Ore, with
record of 1920 for single year, has
this rainfall record been exceeded in
records for the United States. The
heaviest rainfall for single month
ever recorded In the United States was
at Helen Mine. Cal, in January, 1909.
when 71.54 inches fell. Campo has the
record for the heaviest downpour ever
recorded in California for single day
This was eleven and half inches on
Aug. II. 1891. and all of this fell with
in eighty minutes. This is far below
the American record, however, which
is held by Alexandria, La, with rec
ord of PA inches in a single day.-Ar-

rraaIe Sermon on Fresh Air.


The innate corruption and depravity
of human nature were perhaps never
more clearly brought out than in the
historic black hole of Calcutta. That
atrocity stands unrivaled as an instance
of the utmost suffering humanity can
endure, passed through by large num-
Der, yet leaving a few survivors to tell
the tale. Many more have been slain
or executed at one time, death being
anticipated, but probably only safe
keeping of the prisoners was intended,
and only fear of breaking a despot's
sleep prevented their earlier release
Yet this torture, "unequaled in history
or fiction, whose record cannot be read
unmoved after the lapse Of $50 years."
was produced merely by crowding men
together in an Ill ventilated room. No
fires, racks nor scourges were needed.
All that was done or required to be
done was to take from each the amount
of air and space to which he was ac-
customed, crush him into close prox-
unity with his fellows, and the thing
was accomplished.-From "a Farmers
Notebook"

BANKING In ENGLAND,

The system Of credit in England is
different from that in this country,
and the mere fact that a man has an
account in a bank serves to give him
standing. One cannot open an account
with a bank in England merely by
carrying money to the bank and depos-
iting It, He must have two first class
references before a bank will accept
bis account, and when reference is
given 1t means that the person giving
1t would indorse or stand for the per
son to whom 1t is given. A reference
In England means more than a mere
phrase. Checks on banks in England
cannot be obtained for the mere ask
ing, and a man must have an account
in order to get checks from any bank
They cannot be picked up on bank
counters or in public places. Private
accounts In English banks are not ac-
cepted unless they are paid for, the
general charge being $50 year. There
are one or two banks In England
which discriminate so carefully in the
accounts they accept that when a per-
son is fortunate enough to be permit
ted to open an account with them he
can get credit in any city in England
or on the continent Of Europe.
