"The Five Kings is the name of
the sacred book in which is incorpor-
ated the religion of the Chinese as

The doctrine is complex-system of

teaching built up by Confucius on the
ancient Chinese traditions, and, al

DRAMA OF THE MIDDLE AGES
Miracle Plays Were Popular Among
the Great Guilds OF England in
. Fifteenth Century.

Tn England. during the middle ages,
though no theaters were built, some
forms of dramatic entertainment were
extremely popular, and were carried
on with much splendor of dresses and
other properties. In the fifteenth CEN
fury almost every one of the great
guilds or secret fraternitles acted
some sort of miracle play, usually
chosen with reference to the patron
saint of the guild.
Inventories of the theatrical proper
ties of some of these guilds still ex-
list, and in some cases the list includes
the most gorgeous silk and gold dam
asks and magnificent damascened
armor. altogether worth In modern
money some thousands of dollars. The
story of st. George rescuing the prin-
cess from the dragon was a very favor
tie subject, the princess being clad in
the richest dress. adorned with real
jewelry of high value, and st. George
wearing very costly and elaborate ar
NOR. The dragon was an immense
monster made of leather, large enough
to contain seven or eight men, who
worked the various parts of its body.

BURMA PRESENTS A PARADOX
Most MournfuI of Religions Firmly
Established Among Most Cheer
full Of All Races.

| In no country of the world Is Budd-
ma, according to the Churclman. II
| is n curious coincidence that one OF
| the most cheerful and light hearted
races has adopted what is perhaps the
most mournfuI religion that exists in
the world. If one wants to realize the
impossible gulf between the pessimism
of Buddhism and the optimism of the
Burmese, between the despair of life
which stamps the one aud the deter
mination TO enjoy itself which is so
marked a characterization of the 9th
er, one must see these Burmese cele-
brating a religious festival. Il. Il. Trot-
man, who has been working under the
bishop Of Rangoon, describes the fam
Gus pagoda feast at Shwe Dagon:
"The pagoda stands on hill, gleam-
ing for miles across the levels. -Four
long covered stairways lead up to
broad level platform 800 by 900 feet,
surrounded by shrines ana pagodas OF
every size and description, and in ev-
cry stage Of barbaric splendor. In the
midst springs the great pagoda, BIC
feet high. covered with gold plates be-
low. gilded 10 the summit, where it is
crowned with "A royal hti or umbrella,
studded with precious stones and jew
els. The whole court is full of a seeth-
ing, joyous crowd, which is continually
being re-enforced as new parties
swarm up the stairs, blowing great
conches or shells to proclaim that
they are bringing their offerings to
the monks. They will go TO one or 9TH
er of the shrines and intone their
Buddhist devotions, proclaiming that
all is sorrow, and then give themselves
up to unmltigated enjoyment, and
watch the dancers or the mines. My
riads of candles, burning in honor OF
Him who found the light illuminate
the shrines and the pagoda base, dim
ming even the glorious moonlight into
which above the pagoda is seen to
tower"

Swiss Funeral Custom. Odd.

The funeral customs OF the Swiss
are very peculiar. At the death of a
person the family inserts formal
black-edged announcement In the pa
pers. asking for sympathy, and stating
that the mourning urn" will be ex-
hibited during certain hours on a spe-
cial day. In front of the house where
the person died there is placed little
black table covered with black cloth,
on which stands black jar. Into this
the friends of the family drop little
black margined visiting cards. some
times with few words Of sympathy
on them. The urn is put on the table
on the day Of the funeral. Only men
ever go TO the church yard, and they
generally FOLLOW the hearse on foot.

FALLS 200 FEET; MAY LIVE
New Yorker Drops From Crest of Jersey Palisades Into Ravine When Earth C11lmb1cs Under Feet.

New York, Aug. 6.-After sheer drop from the top of the Palisades in the Interstate Park at Alpine, N. J., to a ravine about 200 feet below, Herbert Levy, 19, of 243 West Twen- ty-tirst street. may live to tell the story of a miraculous escape and res cue. Although bruised and broken, he is resting in the Enslewood hos pital, where it was said last night he has a chance to recover.
 Levy and several friends from New York city were camping in the park near where the accident occurred. Yesterday afternoon they walked to the cliff where, a little in advance of his companions, Levy turned at the cliffs edge and remarked, Isn't the view beautiful from here?'
 At that instant the ground crum- bled beneath his feet and With a cry he went plunging into the ravine far below.

TWAS LIBERAL SUNDAY.
New Law Does Not Make Many
 Noticeable Changes in This City.

Comparatively few stores In this city, that have not in the past vio- lated the law by keeping open for business on Sunday, took advantage yesterday of the new statute, effective August 1, allowing sales of certain necessary and alleged necessary arti- cles such as cigars, milk confection- cry, non-alcoholic drinks and other foodstuffs. In fact, here there was very little to indicate that the gov- ernment had lifted the lid a trifle, and the few stores that did keep open and had not done so previously saw very little to make them think they were going to get rich quick.
 Under this new law, it is under stood, it will be possible for many small grocery stores to keep open seven days a week and still be within the law. About the only change this will make, however, is that the deal CTS will be doing a legal business whereas previously they have been technically violating the law.

How many people in this city knew that New Britain was represented in the army of Uncle Sam" by a six teen-year- old boy and that this boy had a brother who had been in the service for nearly 20 years?
 It is no more than right that a record of each and every New Britain boy be kept, those who volunteered their services and those who will be members of the nations first draft army. After the "honor roll'' is com- pleted it will be published.

FEMALE GATE TENDERS

Railroad Officials Tell Local Repre-
 sentatives Two Will Be Sent Here
 ShortIy-Better Crossing Protection.
 Following a general get-together discussion, New Haven road officials on Saturday gave local men assur- ance of better protection at the sev- eral grade crossings here and ap- proved the plan of the city engineer for the elimination of the Lake street crossing at the junction of Washing ton street. Mayor Quigley, City En- gineer w. H. Hall and Councilman H. P. Richards and General Mana ger c. F. Bardo, General Superinten- dent Oviatt, Hartford Division Super intendent Mitchell and Engineer Paul Sterling were the conferees.
 Although previously the railroad officials have expressed themselves as favoring the elimination of the Lake street crossing by strengthening that thoroughfare so that instead of join- ing Washington street midway across the tracks 1t will intersect at a point well to the houth of the crossing they made no definite promise to do so. Local city officials however, urged that they countenance this pro- ject and assume three quarters of the expense.
 The railroad men told the local officials that they plan to send a su- pervisor to this city immediately to observe actual conditions at the grade crossings. The railroad men also ex- pressed a determination to supersede , male gate tenders by female Am- ployes and intimated that two female gate tenders may be expected here shortly.

ENFORCE MUZZLE LAW
New Dog Pound Constructed at Police Headquarters and All Animals Found Without Muzzles Will Be Killed.

A rigorous campaign against un- muzzled dogs is to be waged by the police as a preventative against any further spread of the rabies among man or beast and all animals found on the streets without muzZles will be captured and 1mpounded. A substan- tial dog pound, formerly used by Veterinarian George T. Crowley, has been located in the rear of police headquarters and, according to Chief of Police Rawlings, all dogs captured regardless of their owners, will be summarily dealt with. Last week Mayor Quigley issued an edict order ing all dogs muzzled after four per- sons had been bitten and infected with hydrophobia, and on Friday the state commissioner on domestic animals is- sued a former mandate ordering all dogs muzzled by August 9. By the or der of the state commissioner any animal found without a muzzle after noon on Thursday will be dispatched by the authorities.
 Dr. Henry T. Bray Is at present re- spending to treatment for rabies at the Pasteur Institute in New York. Two other patients are being treated for the malady at the local hospital
 
 nephew of Robert J. Pape of 264 Cherry street, is at the Willard Park CT Institute in New York being treat cd for rabbies. In every instance the physicians expect that the patients will ultimately recover due to the fact that they began the treatment so soon after being infected.
 Since the mag dog epidemic of last week several other cases in which people are alleged to have been bitten by dogs have been reported to the po- lice and are being carefully investi- gated. Among these cases is that of John Lenica of 629 East Main street, who claims that his daughter was at tackled by a dog owned by the Neri family. Patrick Scully of 92 Hart street reports that his two year old son, Richard. was attacked and bit ten on July 19 by a dog owned by Norman P. Cooley. Numerous other complaints have been lodged. a num- Der of them being by dog owners to protest that their animals have been bitten by neighbors dogs or stray dogs.

Sixteen years old and a member of the coast artillery of the regular army. The youngest New Britain boy to enlist in the military. One of the youngest boys in the whole United States to offer his services for the sake of democracy and be accepted Is 1t not a wonderful record? This notable achievement Is credited to Adam Likte. son of George Likte Of 3O6 East street. He enlisted April 23, 1917, at Fort Slocum, New York, and after being there for few days was sent to Fort Sherman, Panama. at which place he IS now stationed.
 Litke comes from a fighting and patriotic family as Is shown by the fact that another brother is mem Der of the regular army, another was honorably discharged several years ago and third has tried four times to enlist each time being rejected for some minor physical disability.
 Emil, the other brother in the serv- ice is 35 years of age and has been in the regular army for IT years. He
