bit of scrambled nonsense of the fam

AS Indicating the educational wo
BURDEN GROWS TOO GREAT.

Never before in recent times has
England felt so generally as now the
intolerable burden of the growing
naval ornaments, and a campaign for
relief is taking on definite and
urgent character.
The chancellor of the eXchequer
speaking in the house of commons,
declared that public opinion was quite
apathetic upon the expenditure on
ornaments, and intimated further
that no government could take ac-
ton leading to an international limit
alton of such expenditure without a
strong public opinion on the question,
the existence of which he doubted.
His own feeling on the subject is,
of course, intense; he has declared
that Europe is menaced by revolution
III the mad rivalry is not somehow
checked.
The English national peace council,
confident that there is widespread
feeling against the colossal wastes on
ornaments, which are fixing them
selves upon the taxpayers in every
land, is seeking to focus public opin-
ion upon this question with view to
obtaining that strong expression of
opinion without which ministers APP
pear to be unable to act. Feeling upon
this matter has already found voice
In such diverse directions as the In
ternational Medical Congress, the In
ternational Cooperative Alliance
Congress, the Congress of the Cham
bers Of Commerce of the United King
dom, the Trades Unions Congress,
the Brotherhoods conference and the
Church Congress-all held within the
last three months.
Sir Algernon Firth, president of the
Congress of the Chambers of Com
merce, pointed out at Antwerp that
In 1912 Europe alone spent 9366, 000,

and that, at the present rate, in ten
years the cost would equal the value
of the whole mercantile marine OF the
world.
The national peace council is there
fore addressing every chamber OF
commerce In Great Britain asking for
resolutions to be passed and the de-
sirability of national conference
considered. The chambers are also
invited to press upon the government
the taking OF such action as will lead
to the serious graphing with the
question In an international confer.

FROM FOREIGN FIELDS.

An Englishman in travelling through
Ceylon was the guest OF dockyard
official at Trincomalle. The dinner
was excellent" he says, but when it
was about half over was startled by
hearing the wife OF my host tell the
native servant to place bowl OF
milk on a deerskin near her chair.
Although she spoke as calmly as
if giving an ordinary order, knew al
once there was q snake somewhere
in the room, for they prefer milk TO
anything else. AS hasty movement
might have meant death, we all sat
like statues; but, for all that, my
eyes were inspecting every nook and
corner with a peep under the table.
However, ii was not until the milk
was placed on the deerskin that the
snake appeared. And then, to our
amaZement, a large cobra uncoiled
itself from the hostess ankle and
glided toward the bowl, when, OF
course, it was Immediately killed.
But just fancy the nerve of the
woman, though she tainted when the
thing lay dead on the floor. How
many could have remained motion
less under such circumstances"

The civilized world knows little of
the famous ruby mines Of Mogok, in
a valley of Burma, whence come near
ly all the large rubies, for the road
lies through forest which is seldom
trod by whites. A few Englishmen
who live there have laid out a polo
ground, and between this and the
town are the mines. The diggings
are slowly eating up the village, and
the main street is already half de-
stroyed. 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 officials
that they can keep any ruby that
they may find, but no one has ever
been able to find one yet. The gems
are imbedded In the gold-colored
clay. which stretches along the
whole Of the valley. and II Is only
after the earth has been washed that
the rubies are seen on the tables.
