his Buddhist faith that gives Burma it's characteristics and it's charm Out of the twelve million inhabitants of Burma, ten million are Burmese. The Burmese is one of the proudest, most indolent and self-satisfed races on earth. The rude jostle of these other peoples who are elbowing their way into his country, competing with him in business, acquiring his land. even questioning the supremacy of his re- ligion, is giving harsh jolt to many ideas that have held placid sway in the Burmese mind. The awakening is painful, but part of the stern kind ness of Providence to a people grown inert through isolation.
 No Longer Isolated.
 There is surely nothing isolated about Burma today. The Chinese are pouring in from the North It is estimated that if the immigration con- tinues there will be million Chinese who will be living in Burma within the next fifteen years. These Chinese traders, merchants and farmers inter- marry with the Burmese, and form strong and stable element in the popu- ?ation. The Bengali, Tamil and Telu- gu immigrants are more alien, less readily absorbed and introduce com plicated problems, social and religious. In Rangoon there are already almost Gs many Indian Hindus as Burmese DHIQhiSfS These moor Indian pOOlipS bring with them their idolatry, their caste marks, their Hindu festivals; Gld Buddhism finds itself once more face to face at close quarters with the Hinduism from which it sprang Which faith will more strongly influ. ence the other only the future can dis close.
 At present the outstanding feature of Burma is Buddhism. A hundred thousand mendicant monks, clad Tn the sacred yellow robe. go up and down the country. The begging bowl is presented regularly at the house holders door, and it is not consi. cred lucky thing to refuse the priest of the best that the house affords.

lhE klplings Cockney soldier,
 everyone who visits Burma is
 fascinated by it and longs to
 return, for though to some ex- tent 1t has been invaded by Occidental civilization, in the main it is yet un- spoiled. Then, too one of it's charms IS the mingling of modern hustle and Oriental calm. Such cities as Manda- lay and Rangoon are full of these in- congruous contrasts, writes Helen Barrett Montgomery in the Mission ary Review of the World; impres- slons of golden pagodas yellow-robed ascetics, flower-garlanded shrines, sllk-sklrted men, mingle with the re- membrance of broad. paved streets, street cars, business blocks, newspa- pers, clubhouses, parks, department stores and railway stations.
 The mingling of races makes Bur ma a "melting-pot' in miniature. Ran goon has its Chinese quarters. it's Tamil and Telugu streets, it's motley throng of Europeans from many lands added to it's native Burmese, Karen. Iai1an, Shan and other races. In fact. more than half of the population of Rangoon are foreign born. The con- ing of these diverse races to trade and to live is producing profound changes in Burmese life.
 The Burman is the aristocrat of the land. 1t is his country, his language,

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverish. ness and itching of the scalp, which If not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any tme-will surely save your hair.
 Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton'a Danderine from any store. and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful.

According to w. II. Peters of the North Dakota experiment station, bar ley is nearly as good for fattemng hogs as corn. On account of the hull it is little less digestible.
 Oats is also a good hog feed when combined with other feeds, as barley, corn or shorts. For fattening hogs tt can form up to one-third ot tho ration.
 For growing hogs as much as one half oats can be fed with good re- suits.

Suffered TVenty-0ne Years.
 Finally Found Relief

Having suffered for twenty-one years with pain in my side, l finally have found relief in Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. Injections Of morphine were my only re. lief for short periods of time. I became so sick that I had to undergo surgical operation in New Orleans, which benefited me for two years. When the same pait came back one day I was So sick that I gave up hopes of living. A friend advised me to try your Swamp Root and l at once commenced using it. The first bottle did me 80 much good that purchased two more bottles. I am now on my second bottle and am feeling like a new woman. l passed a gravel stone as large as a big red bean and several small ones. I have not had the least feeling of pain since taking your Swamp Root and I feel it my duty to recommend this great medicine to all suffering humanity.

fairy air-caStlcS. She Is apt to flaunt
her triumph in the faces of her girl
friends until some unfortunate day
when the notion occurs to him to take
some other girl home. She considers
that her girl friend has committed a
grievous wrong against her in accept
ing him as her escort.
The young man in the case is not
likely to hear of this tempest in tea
pot until he asks permission to call
steadily on the second girl. In re-
sponse to her declaration that she
would not take another girls lover
from her, he makes haste to explain
that eScOrting a girl about few times
or calling on her does not indicate by
any manner of means that the young
man Is in love with her or has the
least desire to become nearer and
dearer than all others to her. He
argues that it is within young mans
right to cultivate the acquaintance of
many nice girls for friendships sake
only; that beau should never be
misconstrued into being thought low
cr Friends of susceptible girl
should not encourage such n delusion.
He is quick to add that his mother
tells his sisters never to take 1t for
granted that man is in love with
them until they hear it from his own
lips.
There was once maiden lady who
boosted to having had forty lovers.
When the truth of the matter was sift-
ed down by neighbOrs, who kept tab
on such affairs, it turned out that she
had been universally admired, for she
was unusually pretty. When young
man saw her home from singing school
or church, she was wont to spread the
news that she had n lover, whereupon
the young man, who had no intention
of marrying, never put in second ap-
pearance.
There is one way Of distinguishing
the beau from the lover-the beau is
perfectly willing to call indefinitely
without committing himself as to what
the girl on whom he calls may hope
in the future. The lover loses no time
after he is convinced that they were
made for each other in begging her
consent to ask papa and mamma for
her hand. Many girl is destined to
have half dozen beaux before she
finds the right one. By that time she
has discovered that a man may smlle'
whisper tender words and, after all,
not be actually in love with her.

comeliness of the girl or takes any
special notice OF her, the girl soon
finds herself out of a place and she
does not know why.
There's not one woman in five hun
dred capable Of making the right kind
Of home for a good girl who is en-
ployed to work. They put every stone
In the path of good girl who is at

handy maid-Of-all-work has braved all
storms and remained years with such
hard task mistress, she comes back
from her vacation some day to find
another in her place.
You're too old to work, Kate" she
is coldly informed. 1--WE have con-
cluded to dispense with your services"
Whose fault is it that the girl is
old, worn out and unwedded? Her ro-
nance was not allowed to take its
natural course. These are the women
who should not be able to get girls.
They should be obliged to do their own
work, to realize the hardship, monot-
ony and dreariness of it. Working
girls have their rights. 1t is not for a
mistress to curtail them while they
are doing the best they can.

Lived in Historic Era.

Marie de Rabutin Chantal, known
to the world as Nine. Sevigne. Is sup
posed to have been born in Burgundy,
nt the chateau of BOubilly, in 1876,
though both date and place are some
what obscure. In 1914 she married
Marquis de Sevigne. Her unhappy
marriage was terminated by the death
of the marquis seven years afterward
in n duel. The young widow then de-
voted herself entirely to her children.
When her daughter was married to
MARQUIS de Grignan, the consequent
separation caused the correspondence
which although not intended for pub
lication, made her name celebrated,
for she associated with the principal
actors In the Civil war of the Fronde.

Sacred Heart Statue.

A great statue has been erected at
the shrine of Saint Mary of the An
gels, which stands on mountain ridge
in the very center of Spain. The stat
ue, which is symbolical of the Sacred
Heart, stands on the topmost spur
of the mountain, with arms out
stretched as though protecting the
kingdom. The idea was that of a
wealthy Spaniard. He desired to pay
the whole cost of this work, which
would amount to 100000 pesetas or
more, about $4,000. When this project
was mentioned by the bishop of Mad
rid and other churchmen, there arose
a general appeal that this generous
gift be not accepted, but that all
Spain be permitted, the poorest as
well as the richest, to contribute. 1t
was finally determined that the poor
est should not give more than the
equivalent of one cent of our cur
rency, nor the richest more than a
peseta.

the clever and original designer can

over underslip of white taffeta. The
underslip is adorned with six narrow

When q girl considers herself old
enough to entertain company in her
home, or go out among young persons
of her own age, the last thing she
thinks of is to inquire what to do
or what not to do. If she is permit
ted to go with jolly young man to
dinner at restaurant unchaperOned.
there may be trouble ahead for her
if she has not been warned that she
must refuse wine, courteously yet firm
ly, if he should offer it. Many young
girls who have been thus warned toss
their pretty heads, wondering what the
taste of ruby wine is really like, and if
it would be awfully naughty to take
just one little sip when they see others
about them indulging. If girls es-
cort is the right kind of young man he
will respect her for her determination
not to indulge. If he Is a rascal, he
will pooh-pooh at her notion, being
more insistent to force it upon her.
If she allows him to overcome her
scruples, and drains the cup to its
dregs, that girl takes her first false
step on life's road.

do not acquire the fatal habit all at
once. The first social sip paves the
way for many others. A habit is
formed that may never be overcome.
Wine-imbibing girls are the ones whom
the men who coax them the hardest
would not wed. They know too well
the road it leads to in the future. Girls
can have a far better time and more
greatly enjoy the dinner without wine,
knowing deep in their hearts they have
| won the honor and respect of their
escorts by the modest, maidenly course
| they have pursued. The downward
course Of many a woman may be at
| tributed to fatal glass of wine she
was coaxed to take at n restaurant din
| ner when she was young, guileless
girl. 1t was so easy, under the exhil-
uration it afforded to step from folly
| into sin. Even the pink lemonade,
cleverly cOncealing u few drops of
stimulant, which a man declares to be
harmless, and the clover nectars may
| be q woman's undoing.
If young man does not take n
girl out the second time because she
has refused to take wine with him,
she should be glad to dismiss him from
her circle Of friends. He is not for
her good. Rather, he is an enemy
who would not hold out his hand to
stop her downfall. No matter what a
man may say to the contrary, he has
his opinion of girl who may be tempt
| ed into imbibing. 1t takes very little
to intoxicate the girl who is not used

nate spectacle. Her reputation Is
