HUGE STATUE OF BUDDHA.
The Mammoth Reclining Figure at
Rangun. Burma.
To the eastern traveler the statue of
Buddha is a familiar sight. 1roV
Colombo, in Ceylon. to Kobe. i Japan,
he is everywhere greeted by the same
calm, impassive and nysterious face
of the eastern preceptor of pe:fect ioii.
But in no city in the orient do the
form and face of Buddha constitute
so frequent or so essential a part of the
city's decoration as in Rliangun, Bur
ma, starting place of Mr. Kipligs
famous "Road to Mandalay." the
stronghold of Buddhists. Notab!e
even among the countless statues of
Rangun is the mammoth Buddha, rt
resenting the ~strange teacher not
standing or sitting crosslegged, as li
the majority of statues, but reclining
on a huge raised couch, his mighty
form stretched out for 201 feet. while
his shoulders rival the width of that
wonder of the ancient world, the Colos
sus of Rholes, their titanic breadth
reaching fifty feet.
But one among the wonders of Ran
gun, this mighty figure rests near the
famous Shoay Dagon, the center of the
Burmese Buddhist world, crowned by
the golden pagoda, which rises 300 feet
above it, its walls covered with pure
gold, the gift of a prince who contrib
uted his we:.ght in gold to the pagoda.
In the Shoay Dagon there are countless
other statues of Buddha, as well as
relics of Gautarma, the last Buddha.
All, equally with the huge reclining
Buddha, form a part of t'.: religious
rites of the Buddhists, for the es
sence of Buddhism consists in the
struggle to 'ecome like Buddha. to at
- tain his perfection by obedience to his
precepts. To do this it is neeesstry al
ways to have Buddha in mind, and it
is for this reason that every city in the
Buddhist world is literally crowded
with his images. Buddha himself is
not deified. Potentially every Bud
dhist may attain his perfection, but
only by the eternal imitation of his
practice.
But, while statues such as Rangun's
huge colossus are important in Bud
dhist worship, of even more importance
are the relics of Buddha.
It was about the Shoay Dlagon that
the Burmese made their last fierce fight
when the British came to Rangun. A
Venetian traveler of 300 years ago vis
iting the Shoay Dlagon has left a de
scription of this famous temple, con
ceding its claim to rivalry with his
own Venice, that would serve as a con
temporaneous description, and today,
as in untold centuries past, the Bur
mese still bring their offerings of fiow
ers and fruit, candles and paper flags,
to lay before the huge reclining Bud
dha, whose hands would afford com
fortable standing room for four of the
worshipers and whose gigantic face
wears the strange, inscrutable expres
sion of calm which is the outward
mark of spiritual Buddhism. -New
York Tribune.
The Turkey's Real Naane.
The original name of the turkey was
oocoocoo, by which it was known by
the native Cherokee Indians. It is sup
posed that our pilgrim fathers, roam
Ing through the woods in search of
game for their first Thanksgiving
spread, heard the oocoocoo calling in
the familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl, "Turk, turk. turk." These first
-Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this
frightened cry of the bird for its real
song, immediately labeled it "turkey,"
and turkey it is to this day. Much
more beautiful and musical was the
Indian name oocoocoo, the notes pe
culiar to the flock when sunning them
selves in perfect content on the river
beaches.-Sunset Magazine.
He Told the Truth.
An Irish gentleman had a splendid
looking cow, but she kicked so much
that it took a very long time and it
was almost impossible to milk her, so
he sent her to a fair to be sold and told
his herdsman to be sure not to sell her
without letting the buyer know her
faults. He brought home a 1a-rge price
which he had got for it. His master
was surprised and said. "Are you sure
you told all about her?' "Bedad, I did,
sir," said the herdsman. "H~e asked mce
whether she was a good milker. 'Bie
gorra, sir,' says I, 'it's you'd be tired
milking her.' "-"Seventy Years of
Irish Life.".
The 'Dragon Tree.
The dragon tree (Dracaena draco),
which yields the astringent gum resin
. called dragon's blood, is an old settler
of the Canary islands. A veritable co
lossus of this family once grew in ;the
town of Orotava, Tenerife, which was
eighty feet in circumference at the
base, hollow inside, with a staircase
for visitors to ascend to the branch
ing top of the trunk. Humboldt re
marks that its antiquity must have
been greater than that of the pyre
mids. This giant went down in a hurri
cane in 18G7.
He Sold and Left.
A lawyer had a horse that alwvays
stopped and refused to cross am certain
bridge leading out of the city. Nc
whipping, no urging. would induce him
to cross it. so he ad'vertised him. "T.
be sold for no other reason than that
the owner wants to get out of tow'n."

SPARTAN VIRTUE.
It In a Fine Thing if It In Not Ad- wh
vertised Too Much. t
A Spartan virtue seems to have the
inherent quality of making its possess
-or a 44 caliber bore of the worst sort.
Take the man whose supreme if not wa
only virtue lies in the fact that he
takes a cold water bath every morning'
the whole year round. You meet him wr
iii the ear, in the street, in the course Inf
of business anywhere, and no matter up
what the topic may be at the start the len
conversation is bound to include an ac- Poi
count--quite incidental, of course-of
how on the frostiest of mornings he for
fro'es in the ice cold water just as it f
comes from the hydrant. Ma
Then there's the man who walks an(
dow'i to his otlice every morning, rain dri
or snow, in sunshine and in storm. The
more distant his home from his office
the more he will talk about it. and he ,
will tell you that he has become so ac- Cit'
customed to it that the only time he turi
can get an extra tbrill out of it is when obt
the streets are deep with snow and the Col
wind is blowin.; a hurricane. in
Heaven may forgive the man who a
rises at 5 summer and winter, spring wh
and fall. We never can. The early d0
riser is not a criminal simply because at t
thje law does not designate his of- Foi
fnse as a crime. But it is admitted
that the law has its defects. Nothing
can approach the look of superiority Thi
on the face of the early riser. He has Chi
found the only road to health or talk
wealth. The books he has read before tas1
breakfast would if collected in a heap
make the Congressional library look
small.
There are some who would place in tior
the first rank of this group that rug- anc
ged, hardy, vigorous, full blooded gen- cot
tieman who can't breathe in a room cie
unless all the windows and doors are nci
open. The lower the pressure of steam
in the radiator, the lower the mercury
in its tube and the wilder the play of fra
the winds over the roofs and around
the corners the more insistent is he
that you are imperiling your very life
by not occupying an office wide open to
every wind that blows.
Oh, Spartan virtue is a fine thing, but t(
it would be simply sublime if its mod
ern exponents and inculcators wouid
just keep still about it.-Washington an4

BITS FROM THE WRITERS.
Marriage was invented, like trustees, cr
to save lovers from beggaring them
selves.-Alfred Austin.
Of all slaveries this sad world knowsun
there is no slavery so terrible as the
slavery of a sensitive man to a bys- Dr
terical, selfish woman.-T. P. O'Connor.
A popular novel is a compound of ,
amusement and admonition, and the
most popular are those in which clown
ing is sandwiched with preaching.
George Moore.
That we have a knocker on our dcors
means that we are not boors and
barbarians, that we do not call on a
man by climbing into a window or
dropping down a chimney.-G. K. Ches-,
terton.
A woman will self deniy herself off
the face of the earth to save a few
pence, which a man will have the good
sense to spend on himself to keel) up
his strength, for work, of course.

Scotch Stories
It was late in the afternoon when
the Scotch minister arrived at the
farmhouse. The housewife suggested
that perhaps he would like a cup of tea
before engaging in "exercises." "Na,
na," said he, "I aye tak' my tea better
when my work Is done. I'll just be
gaun on. Ye can hing the pan on and
leave thle door ajar, an' I'll draw to a
close in the prayer when I hear the
haami fizzin'."
Another woman of Scotland 'when
asked if she had understood the ser
:on to which she had just been lis
tening replied, "Wad I hae the pre
sumption?"'
Liberty Halls,
"This is Liberty hall, and you may
smoke in the garden," is a maxim
which has become typical of one sort
of hospitality. Another version has
jst been perpetrated by a member of
theO early rising fraternity.
"I wish," said the host, "every one
to do as he likes in my house."
It sounded very friendly, but on go
ing to his bedroom the guest found a
little card stating the times of meals.
"rakfast, at 7:30," and in an N. B.
was aded, "It will be cleared awayI
at S:30."
The Golden Mean.
The motto of the Greeks was "Noth
ng to:) m uch."S
An excess of courage is brutality.
An excess of economy is penurious
ness.
An excess of gtasteis isrecocity.
An excess of tastens is ecocity.I
An excess of confidence is egotism.
