To the eastern traveler the statue of Buddha is a familiar sight. From Colombo, in Ceylon, to Kobe. in Japan, he is everywhere greeted by the same calm, impassive and mys;ter:ius face of the eastern preceptor of perfection. 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 Rangun,.Bur ma, starting place of Mr. Kipling's famous "Road to Mandali-y" the stronghold of Buddhists. Notabl!e even among the countless stzatues of Rangun is the mammoth Buddha, rep resenting the strange teacher not standing or sitting crosslegged. as in the majority of statues. but rec!niig on a huge raised couch. his mighty form stretched out for 200 feet. while his shoulders rival the widthi of that wonder of the ancient world, the Colos sus of Rhodes, their titanic breadth reaching fifty feet. But one among the wonderstof 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 princ who contrib uted his weight in gold to the pagoda. In the Shoay Dagon there are countless other statues of Buddha, as well as relics of Gautama, the last Buddha. All, equally with the huge reclining Buddha, form a part of the religious rites of the Buddhists, for the es sence of Buddhism consists in the struggle to become like Buddha; to at tain his perfection by obedience to his precepts. To do this it is necessary.al ways to have Budalha i.n "d, ali-t is for this reason that eyo n'esty xi4be Buddhist 'world is iiterally erewded with his images. Buddha himself is not deified. Potentially every Bud dhist may atiain his perfection. but only by the eternal imitation of hi 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 Dagon 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 Dagon 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 flow ers and fruit, candles and paiper flags, to lay before the huge reci-ining Bud dha, whose hands would- afford com fortable standing room for four of the worshipers and whose gigantic face wears the strange, inscrut'ible expres sion of calm which is the outward mark of spiritual Buddhism. - New York Tribune. The Turkey's Real Name. The original name of the turkey was oocoocoo, by which it was known by the native Cherokee Id'dians. It is'sup posed that our pilgrim fathers, roam ing through the woods in search of .game for their first Thanksgiving spread, heard the ooceocoo 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 thiss day. Much more beautiful and musical was the Indian name oocoocoe, the notes pe culiar to the flock when sunning them selves in perfect content on the river beaches.-Sunset Magazine. e 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 snre not to sell her without letting the buyer know her faults. He brought home a large price which he had got for it. His master was surprised and said, "Are you sure you told all about her?" "Bedad, I d'd, sir," said the herdsman. "Hie asked me whether she was a good milker. 'iBe gorra, sir,' .says I, 'it's you'd be tired milking her.' "-"Seventy Years 'of Irish Life." The Dragon Tree. The dragon tree (Drac-aena draco), which yields the astringest gum r'ein called dragon's blood, is an old setuler of the Canary islands.

L. M I Cost of Insurance. The Columbia cor:respondeni Of the Charleston News and Cour ier shows that during the yeai 1904 three New York life insur ance companies collected the sun of 1,206,220.95 in premiumE from policy holders in Souti Carolina, which was more that the legislature appropriated foi all purposes. The Equitable Life Assurance Society, included as one of the three, collected $06.,621.36 from its South Caro lina policy holders and paid oui 8121,000 in death claims. Com nenting on this record the Char. lotte Observer says: "We of th< south glory much in the annua value of our cotton crop. Bu considering what we pay out o: it for insurance, and many othe purposes, all of it going to th north, it is a wonderthat we havi a dollar left."
