The new" Lansburgh store was
not opened in September. In The
Star, Monday. October 2, 1882, was
this card I'VE ask the. kind con-
sldera ton of the public regarding the
inaugural of our new building. Being
compelled to further the desire OF our
immense custom, we continued the
business at the old place until the
evening of Saturday last. The i'm
mense preparation necessary to make
the opening Of our new enterprise a
perfect success was therefore greatly
retarded. We sincerely hope our pa
irons and the public Will be lenient.
Lansburgh & Bro" On October 5
half-column Lansburgh advertise
ment began thus: I'VE are now open
for business, and we are too busy
TO write.
The Lansburgh establishment has
bought a large amount of property
on Seventh and Eighth streets from
the Charles Kloman estate, the KEEL
liner and Ballantyne families, from
John L. Vogt, the baker; George
Ryneal, the paint and art supply mer-
chant; Milford Fischman, haberdash-
er: from Christian Heurich and
others. Part of the Lansburgh realty
holdings adjoining or close to their
store are under lease TO other mer-
chants The store, which has been
added from time to time, has 220,-
600 square feet Of sales space and
the warehouse at the southeast cor
ner. of Eighth and E has $4,000 feet
of floor space. The average number
of employees is about $50, and the
company carries insurance for their
benefit, gives annual vacation with
pay, and makes retirements with full
pay.

Washington in 1850, had worked

his breath for her answer.
Yes. At least in theory"
But you wouldn't go about beatins

Il certainly should if l thought it

He looked at her. took a turn about
the room and whistled his astonish-
ment. Then he looked at her again.
In spite of these things. she was
good to look at

DO you? 1 haven't developed half

He hesitated. You've been so cam

question. If you should some tipe

Billy blushed, but Pansy didn't.
"Of course, in certain circum-
stances. l believe in eugenics.'
He looked bewildered. I've heard
something of it. That means a union
of persons physically perfect
That's one idea of it"
We'll. we'd pass on that, ] hope
He threw out his chest proudly.
But there's another side to tia
mental side. Mere physical fitness
might mean children who would be

else. or phenomenal human specI-
mems of the sort they exhibit in side
shows-large, fabby and bralnless

Billy was bewildered. She had
turned her back to him and was
standing in strange attitude, chin III

"But can't we be just friends, he
pleaded, until
Yes" said she. turning; until you
finish your education"
And she gave him tiny kiss that
had electricity in it, There also was
a suggestion of jiu jitsu behind 1t.
He was chastened and he wondered;
but he was not without hope.

The Largest Buddha.

THE bronze Buddha of Yokohama is
commonly thought to be the
largest statue of that god in the
world. but there is one in Burma that
exceeds It in at least one dimension
and gives an impression of far
greater size.
When the English were building the
railway from Rangoon to Mandalay
they searched the vicinity of Pegu for
stone with which to make the en-
bankment through the great swamps.
In the whole area there was only one
elevation of any Importance. The en-
gtneers thought that this hill might
provide the necessary material, so
they dug into it's base and were sur
prised to find some artistic brick
work. On clearing away the earth
further they found an enormous stone
statue that represented Buddha in a
reclining position. The statue is about
100 feet long and, including the brick
base, it is more than 40 feet high.
The Yokohama Buddha is 80 feet high
and ITO feet in circumference. AL
though the Burmese statue is not SC
artistic as the Japanese, it is a won
derful piece of work.
Not the least remarkable thing
about IT Is the way in which so huge
a monument had disappeared abso-
lutely from Burmese history and
legend. The news of the discovery at
once brought numberless Buddhists to
the place, who gilded and decorated
the gigantic image as a work of de-
votion. The soles of it's huge feet
were ornamented at great cost with
an elaborate glass mosaic and each
toe was embellished with a separate
decoration.

Reared in Ideal Nursery
With Science Guided Diet and Selected TOYS

An intimate, inside" story
direct from Goldsborough Hall,
telling with encyclopedia MI

tuning, upbringing. food and
everything else connected with
Baby Lascelles, grandson Of the
King and Queen OF England.
The first really complete and
authentic account OF the home
life and training of a royal baby
ever given to the public.
The author (whose anonym-
ity is guarded) has been liv-
ing with the Lascelles and talk

Evidently Princess Mary her
self must have taken an inter
est in the story and supplied
some OF the data, otherwise It
Is difficult to see how even an
intimate friend living in the
house could have secured all
this information without the
cooperation of mamma"
Wide and genuine interest Is

frightened care, physically and
