HUGE STATUE OF BUDDHA.
The Mammoth Reclining Figure at
Rangun. Burma.
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. A veritahle 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 saircase
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 pyra
mids. This giant went down in a hurri
cane in 1S67.
He sold and Left.
A lawyer had a horse that always
stopped and refused to cross a certain
bridge leading out of the city. No
whipping, no ur ging. would induce him
to cross it, so be adv-ertised him, "To
be sold for no other reason than that
the owner wan -s to get out of town."

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." These figures
however, might convince ou,
people of the wisdom of establish
ing and supporting home insur
ance companies, so that we cai
