Mandalay, Burma.-Witha it's thou

Its picturesque ruins, the lefty, of
Mandalay continues to. be a place Of
chief attraction for the European or
American visitor to Burma.
The palace grounds, surrounded by
a wall and moat, are about q mile
and half square. The buildings have
a cheap gaudiness about them which
compares in many ways to that OF an
American street carnival. Still pre-
served are the throne rooms and the
apartments Of the. king, the senior
queens. Mindon Min, the next to the
last king of Burma, married 81 wives
seeking, evidently; to discover what
the "57 varieties" are like.
From the palace grounds an Amer
lean taxi takes the visitor to the foot
of Mandalay hill, one Of the holy
places Of Burma Buddhism. Here
those who are adherents Of the Bud.

move their footwear may obtain great

which lead to the summit.
