same time entering the schools do
main with large quantity of bragg
gadocia. he is considered yellow by
all the boys until one day, his patience
beng exhausted, he turns on the crowd
and tries hard to lick the whole
school. For this outburst of spunk
the Vsrmint receives the respect of
his school associates. He plans
signal for his friends in Latin with
the consequence that the entire class
develops extraordinarily in its recita-
tions. The Varmint knew that his
plan had been overheard by Laura, the
professors daughter, and later when
the professor foils the boys at his
carefully laid plan, the Varmint thinks
the girl had told. Although secretly
IN love with the girl ne refuses to
speak to her. A great change has
come over the Varmint, and after the
professor had placed him upon his
honor during an examination he re-
fuses to crib and receives the respect
of 1.-THE Roman. He learns now that
Laura did not squeel upon him and asks
her forgiveness, which is Immediately
granted.

Miracle Plays Were Popular Among
the Great Guilds of England in
Fifteenth Century.

In 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 fraternities 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 very favor

the richest dress, adorned with real
jewelry of high value, and st. George
wearing very costly and elaborate ar

Monte, as she is generally known, is
first seen as kitchen slavey in Sell

Isle of st. Mary, off the Scottish
coast, and later as great lady impos
ing in silks and satins. but withal fas-
cinating and miscellaneous.

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-
hism so firmly established rs in Bur
ma, according to the Churchman. 1t
is a curious coincidence that one OF
the most cheerful and light hearted
races has adopted what is perhaps the
most mournful 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 and the deter
mnation TO enjoy itself which is so
marked q Characterization of the 9TH
err one must see these Burmese cele-
brating a religious festival. Il. f. 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 .nd 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 to the summit, where it is
crowned with royal hti or umbrella,
studded with precious stones and jew
els. The whole court is full of seeth-
ing, joyous crowd, which is continually
being REINFORCED 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 unmitigated enjoyment, and
watch the dancers or the mines. Ny
riads of candles, burning in honor of
Him who found the light illuminate
the shrines and the pagoda base, dim

which above the pagoda is seen to

RECORD OF D. C. GARDENS
SOUGHT BY Mr.. connolly
Agricultural Agent for National
Capital Hopes to Help in
Plans for Next Year.

Records Of 500 gardens cultivated in
the District of Columbia last summer
are being sought by H. NJ. Conolly of
the Department of Agriculture. agri-
tultural agent for the National Capt.
tai. to be used by him in helping home
gardeners plan for next year.
Already he has obtained complete
records of forty-six gardens of vari-
GUS sizes. and every one who planted a
hill of potatoes or a row of beans is
asked to send him Information as to
the size of the garden plot, the amount
of vegetables gathered therefrom, their
market value and similar data.
From the records already on hand
Mr.. Conolly estimates that the gross in
come per acre of the 500 acres OF gar
dens in the District was $3.50. and that
the net income was $371.51. or approx
mately $223,O00. AS the labor of car
ing for these gardens was mostly done
outside of other working hours, the
sum represents net saving for Wash
inEton householders. With proper CO.
operation on the part Of Washington
gardeners, and especially If they be-
gin planning their 1918 gardens this
month or next, it is believed the saving
next year should approximate $50O,000.
A garden club Is to be organized by
at Noel House Friday evening, No
vember 16 Prizes for the best gardens
grown under the direction of the Noel
House community gardens will be given
out at that time and plans for next
