more elaborate. Nothing could be
prettier than the style with a

Bones or Pins.

There are various kinds of protec-
ton exercised by governments for the
people. A new one has developed in
the state of Maine. The law forbids
any one who did not himself catch IT,.
TO sell a pickerel. The fish are not
allowed in market and even the man
who caught them must have done that
illegally" II is well-known to people
who, for fear of starving. have eaten
pickerel, that their bodies are made
up of 80 per cent sharp bones and 10
per cent flesh. When it comes to q
choice between frying the family pin
cushion and eating pickerel. most
people prefer the pickerel but it is
evident that the legislators of Maine
do not mean to expose their constit-
ucnts TO the perils of the diet when
1t can he avoided. There is no law
in Maine against selling pincushions.

monastery was giving commemora-

went into the temple about eight
o'clock. II was almost dark inside.
The one large standing Buddha was
dimly lit by four tapers set in high
stands. Before him on the altar stood
Is copper plates piled high with diff
ferent kinds of breads and above these
were heaped cakes and fruit between
the artificial flowers, To one side
were the nuns from the nearby nun
merry with shaver heads, and baggy
White trousers and long gray robes ex-
actly like the priests. The faces were
fndistinct in the dimness. Hour after
hour we sat cross-legged on mats. All
around us was the sound of intoning
