The Pocket Hand Heater.

Among this years winter novelties
there is one Of French design which
will prove very acceptable luxury
to all who finch before the biting out

a pocket hand heater, though it can
be applied with equal facility to any
shrinking SURFACE; The ,,, little com

the thing in their muffs. Men. equally
or more sensitive to cold, will find it
a valuable pocket side issue.
The hand heater consists of an outer
and inner metal tube. The device is
readily taken apart, both tubes being
closed by a screw cap and bottom. In
the inner tube there is a stout wick,
filled with benzine, which supplies the
heat One end of this wick extends
into a cap of asbestos, and is lighted.
The asbestos is brought to an in

TRAVELETTE
By NIKSAH.
Rangoon.

Away over in Burma, among the many
mouths of the Irrawaddy and on the
road to Mandalay, there was strange
conspiracy Matched. 1t required score
of centuries for its working out, but
when it was done it was worth all the
time and trouble.
The conspirators were oddly assort-
ed. One of them was the Buddha, q
prince of India, who, renouncing the
pleasures of power and wealth. went
naked into the world to preach humil-
ity and poverty. Others of the con-
spirators we're those religious followers
of the Buddha who could not. like him,
give up all their wealth to follow a
religious ideal, but who compromised
Gin a way not peculiar to the Buddhist
his memory The other conspirators
were essentially different. One was
the British government, another q
Scotch landscape gardener and an
other an Irish chief Of police.
From the time, more than 1000 years
ago, when the Buddha went forth to
preach, down until our own time, the
conspiracy has been to make In Ran
goon the most beautiful park in the
world. Being British. it is naturally
named Victoria Park, but even that can
not hurt it. One sits on bench at it's
eastern end and looks through two
miles of the combined beauty of blue
water and green growing things up
toward the setting sun, Whlcn glidS the
golden glory of the great Shwe Dagon.
This is the most magnificent of reli-
gious edifices, a round spire nearly as
high as the Washington Monument,
completely covered over with sheets of
pure gold. Such is the magnificent
tomb of one of the finger bones of
Buddha.
Walk through the we'll kept park,
and at the western end. as you mount
the steps to reach the dagoba, 1t Is the
polite thing to buy flowers from the
naked children who swarm the steps,
that you may sacrifice at one of the
thousand shrines surrounding the
golden spire The temple bells are as
tinkly as Kip1ing said they were. and
all about are the pretty Burmese girls,
with their "whacking white cheroots.'
Rangoon is the cleanest and the pref
test of all the many holy cities on
earth.

that If some time. when Peter Is over

Some Little People Put Their
Heads Together.
Either Peters crazy,
Or else he's dreadful

Or else he's dreadful lazy"
That is the word that Sammy Jay
passed among Peter Rabbits friends
in the Green Forest and on the Green
Meadows. Then he told how he had
found Peter sitting half asleep in the
beginning of what he meant should be
a path through the bramble-tangle on
the edge of the Green Forest. and how
Peter had Indignantly insisted that he
was working. like Striped Chipmunk
and Happy Jack Squirrel, preparing
for winter.
Jimmy Skunk chuckled. Why. Peter
doesn't know what work is," said he.
1T would do him good to learn"
do you suppose he could learn"
asked Johnny Chuck, looking very
doubtful.
Wouldn't it be fun if we could really
make him work." said Danny Meadow
Mouse, who is himself very indus
trious little fellow.
Work! Ho. ho. no! Peter Rabbit
work." Sammy Jay shouted right out.
why, Peter Rabbit couldn't work if
he tried. He doesn't know how. He'd
go to sleep right in the middle of IT,
or he'd go to dreaming, which amounts
to the same thing. 1t would be a great
joke to make him, but it can't be
done"
I'm not so sure about that" said
Bobby Coon. Where did you say he
was working, or thought he was work

I'm the bramble-tangle on the edge

HE thinks he's going to cut pashs all
through it 50 as to have them ready
for use in time of danger when the
snow is deep and he would find it hard
work to reach the dear Old Briar
Patch. But you know Peter! He'll
never do it in the world. He never
does anything until he has to- He'll
