QUEER SIGHTS IN BURM AH A Land Where Men, Women and Children Smoke. The Public Executioner an Elephant? Women Strung by the Ear. A n TCnrvlioli on rvV n oow A na/trlKna in MU JUJUgAlOU QUglUO^K. UtOV/l & UCO 1U the St. James Gazette some of the queer sights of Burmah, Asia. He says: . It was my heavy task to do with the crop destroying Irrawaddy what Canute admitted his inability to do with the sea; in other words I was told oft to construct an embankment against a river that destroyed on an average one crop in every three. I had 16,000 Burmese working for . me, men, women and children. The embankment was seventy miles, the swollen water would have run over it had it been less than twenty feet high; and would have whirled it into the plain if its base had not been a hundred feet broad. Then we could only work by snatches even in the dry months, and not at all during the long and dreary wet season. Mv workoeo ^ pie returned to their homes for the wet months, but I stayed on to see that our foundation was not washed away. My best laborers were the women. The mass of them were not. from British Burmah, but slaves of the King of Kings, the Burmese of the highlands. In the heat of the day, when work was out of the question, I have listened with astonishment and pity to their talk over the everlasting cheroot. It was evident that such an idea as not carrying out to the letter the mandates of the King was inconceivable to them. I have said that my workpeople returned to their homes during the wet season. There is no option in the matter; they had to do it. The King takes a fatherly interest in them, and 3ee3 that they pay for it if they desert him= His favorite method is to keep hostages, and my laborers had to leave their families in his hands before they came to me. Had they failed to render an account of themselves by the stipulated time, the hostages would have been iriven over tn t.ho St.ntp ana If the King desired it. trampled to death by the elephant, which in Bur' ma discharges the duties of public executioner. Out of every rupee I paid my laborers part had to be laid aside for the King. The Burmese smoke to a man, to a woman, I might almost say to a child. I was pliysician-in-chief to those unier me, nnd I soon learned tp rely upon it that when a patient gave up smoking he or she was really ill. The Burmese ladies have a very peculiar cigar case. But there are two objections to its ever becoming popular here, of which the less important is that each cigar case only holds one cigar. And then the cigar case is the ladv'B ear. Inst.PHfl nf imnrinn nary earrings, the Burmese women nave a large hole in their ears and wear a cheroot in it till wanted. The really great advantage of this cigar 2ase is that it is never left behind. The men would think it beneath their lignity to carry cheroots in this manner, but they do not mind helping themselves from the wife's case. When the King of Kings wants to keep his women folk together or to punish them, he strings them, so to speak, by the ear. A long cane is D08sed thronah t.h? hr?lpa r/ia/lo . o sheroots, a dozen women or even more going to one cane. Of late years there have been attempts on a small scale to grow tobacco in Burmah; but most of it is sent from Madras in monster stacks of tow bacco leaf. The climate is not cold enough for growing potatoes and other vegetables; and the trade in ivory, See., is so slight that the natives may be said to live almost entirely on their rice. Got the Reward. An amusing story of the introduction of the mulberry into California is related in the New York Independent. In the territorial legislature in early days a green country member introduced and secured the passage of a bill giving a reward of 11000 to the person who should first produce five hundred young mulberry trees from the seed. Shortly after the end of the session the country member received the reward, when it was discovered that he already had his mulberry grove started before be introduced the bill. *, 11 The Rising Snn. An American tourist in Switzerland was awakened by his room-mate, an Englishman, who urged him to get up. Hurry up, or you will lose the mag^ nlflcent spectacle of the sun rising." "Is that all the sun does here ? Well, It does that in New York, too; I thought breakfast was ready by the joyous ring of your voice."?Si/tingg. Fishermen of the North Sea. Crossing the North Sea in fine | steamers plying to Rotterdam, Hamburg, or the Baltic ports, some readers may have had their interest awakened and their curiosity aroused while passing through fleets of little vessels, whose white and brown calls sparkling in the sun, seemed in the distance like the wings of seafowl, but on nearei views were resolved into light, handy smacks, apparently innumerable, dancing on billows for miles around, and dotting the horizon far as eye could reach. What are these vessels? A trawling fleet. Perhaps some may have asked, Where do all the fish come from? A few years ago the answer might have been. From the coast; and a description of a fisherman, generally accepted, would have been one who goes forth at sunset, or sunrise, as the case may be, and returns the next day, to be I weicomea dv nis anxious wue ana smiling bairns. Very pretty, and very true of the coasters, but by no means applicable to the deep-sen smacksmen. Their lot is cast in different places?their fishing grounds lie far off in the North Sea, where they toil, summer and winter, all the yeai round, with only a few days' break occasionally, when they run home to refit, Out on the North Sea there are of course neither churches nor chapels, reading rooms nor libraries?neither clergyman nor minister ever comes round that way; the Scripture reader and the missionary find it too far off. So far as ordinary means are concerned, the deep-sea fishermen, our own flesh and blood, hailing from our own shores, workincr within a hundred miles or so of our coast, toiling on our behalf, trawling the fish that come to our markets and tables, might as well be cruising in the Caribbean Seas. Year in, year out, it is drudgery and toil unceasing, without any of those privileges and joys which raise our hopes and ennoble our souls. The Gospel is to them an unfamiliar sound. True, in boyhood they may have heard of such things; but far off in the North Sea, beyond the reach of pulpit or press, cast in the company of those who know not and care not for such things, they soon catch the prevalent tone, and go with the rest. Bygone lessons are forgotten in present isolation, and they are apt to sink to the general level. As a rule, singularly sharp and intelligent in their own line, and in many ways attractive in their fine, frank, fearless style, but neglected or forgotten by the Christian Church, it lfl llMla f UrtWT/* ?** itw?w tt uuu^l i?ncj uavo jcii sup uor teachings and truths. These deep-sea fishermen are not a small and numerically insignificant body. There are over 12,000 of them cruising in the North Sea. ? Quiver. Dynamite Shells from a Big Gun. A recent issue of the New York Sun says: The eight-inch dynamite air gun at Fort Lafayette stretched its sixty feet of barrel seaward yesterday and sent its shell screaming down the bay at irregular intervals all the afternoon. About 1,200 pounds of air pressure was used, although the gun i9 guaged for 2,000 pounds. The shells were driven from a mile to a mile and a half. Half a dozen men assisted In loading and firing. Each shell contained ten pounds of dynamite. Before each discharge Lieut. Zalinsky waved a white flag to the watchers at Fort Hamilton. Then two or three men carefully brought out a dynamite cartridge and charged the gun. After they had gone back out of sight a bell sounded, and the next instant, with a hiss and a scream and a cloud of vapor, the projectile left the barrel. One could follow its flight until it reached the water. A dull report and a column of spray told ' it had exploded. The range was made .short, because the fog would have concealed any vessel that might be at a distant point. The projectilo consists of a wooden bar five feet long, which fills the bort of the gun, and to the forward end oi which an iron cap containing the explosive is attached. The lighter wood trails behind the iron and gives it a steady course like that of a rocket Now and then, however, a shell would take its flight, revolving end over end, until it struck the water. The explo> -i..n took place all the same, however. A Domesticated Moose. A half-breed Indian in the Dead RiVer region in Maine has domesticated a huge moose, and uses him in the farm work. In the winter, when the I moose is hitched to a sled and is driven upon the ice, there is no horse in the country round about which can keep up with him. The half-breed turns his big steed into an enclosure with a fence of ordinary height Once in a while the moose jumps out and goes on an excursion, but as he never fails to return, this privilege is not begrudged him. Sight Restored By Fright. A lady has for years been a great suffer tr from neuralgia, and at one time was Ittacked with congestion of the brain. Prom a gradual failing sight the lady Ihree or four months ago lost entirely ?he use of her eyes and became, as | It was thought, hopelessly blind. Expert medical attendance failed to euect fcny relief, and gave her little hope of ever regaining her sight. Recently the sudden and alarming cry of "Fire" rang from the lips of one of her daughters. Realizing the imminent peril, it Seems that in the despair with which a drowning man grasps at a straw the lady made an eflort to open her eyes. The long unused nerves responded to her will. The alarm proved to be without foundation, but the flight it caused restored a siirht which nhvsicians had sriven up as hopeless. In an interview with a physician a reporter learned that it was more than probable that during the long time the lady had suffered from neuralgia the optic nerves had become weakened, and a loss of nervous current had ensued, which was partially restored by the sudtlen shock which the fright produced. The lady now is enjoying comparatively good sight, and the impression prevails that she will fully recover. War and Peace. The difference between war and peace | has been well defined by one of the anI cients: "In time of pcaee the sons bury Iheir fathers; in time of war the fathers bury their sons."

IlEAnT Disease is {.apposed to be purely a nervous disease, and yet intellij cent physicians admit that about half i the fatal cas.-s of heart disease resu t from long-continued abuse of the stomach and digestive organs, by liquor and tobacco, which weaken and destroy the nervous system an?l produce over-excitement, causing death. Vinegau Bitteus is a sure corrective of such disorders. A gold shovel heaped with tiny diamonds is a fancy pin. .'IIECIOUS HTONKS AND PltRJIOUS .UK PAI.S. (From Xir.mphiH App'ai.) The teacher aske.l his class to tell hitn the lames of the precious stones. " Brimstone," answered one bright boy. !Vn this was not one of the precious stones the eacher was thinking of, the boy was sent to ihe tail end of tho cluss. "Young man," said tho pedagogue, adIressing himself to the next lad in turn, "now Jell mo tho name of the most precious stone rou know of." " Grindstone," replied the boy, whose father 8 a well known carpenter. The boys laughed, jut the teacher was cross, and whacked the ;?oor fellow over the shouldera. Whatever we may think of the boy with ;be brimstone, be who thought the grindstone jrecious was not far out of the way. It is lot only the looks of an article, but its actual worth, that makes it valuable. Gold is popularly considered the best known >f the precious metals, and yet there is a )lain-looking metal which for certain very important purposes is vastly more precious ;han gold. Its money value is only a few jents a pound, while that of gold is about six?en dollars an ounce. That plain-looking uetal is Iron. Every medical man knows that there is iron j <n the blood, and that there must be a certain proportion of that precious metal, or else the Dlood Ls thin and poor, and its owner is pale ind weak and languid, and subject to the attack of every disease in the catalogue. Now, now to get it, there is the question. Well, it was a lone, long while after medical sciencs discovered the existence and the need of iron in the blood, that chemical science found out now to make a preparation which would carry it into the circulation in such a way as to do ;ood and do no mischief. Many were the attempts, and much was the mischief that folowed. At last complete success was attained, and the preparation was produced which is the basis of the world's most popular ;onic, "Brown's Iron Bitters." It is pleasant to follow up the work of such i baneficent compound as this Brown's Iron Bitters, and to see what it is doing in enriching the blood of the people and driving out disease. With this intent, one of our cdtreipondents recently went on a tour of inquiry unong some of our best citizens. He visited the store of Messrs. Berry, Jack fe Co., on Main street, Memphis. This house Is one of the largest in the wholesale clothing business. Mr. W. H. Berry, the head of the \QU80, thus replied to an inquiry, as to a mat ler of personal health: " Both my wife aud myself were suffering from debility. We ;vere run down by the effect of the hot weather, 'vhich in this climate is sometimes very prv>sj-ntinc Wa fnnnrJ [rranl-. mmfnrf. nnH n.liu( !ui the use of Brown's Iron Bitters. There i? something very invigorating in this preparation of iron. It gonfers such strength as 1 have never received from any other tonic. } regard this Bitters as a very saperior tonic. [ have heard it very highly spoken of amoni; Dur people, and I am glad to know that it it in as general use as it is. You are at liberty to say that I heartily endorse it." From Mr. Berry's our correspondent went J so the store of Messrs. Jolin M. Hill & Co., k"Ot and shoe dealers, 333 Main street, Mem phib. "Two years ago," said Mr. Hill, io answer to an inquiry, " J. had typhoid ca tarrhal fever, a very severe attack, it was oh itinate and protracted. It reduced me to a itate of great weakness, and after the doctort were done with me, I felt as if there was nol much left of me. I needed a tonic, which no ordinary p<escription seemed able to give ma And, as you may suppose, I tried quite a va? riety of mixtures. After going through th? list I cf/ne to Brown's Iron Bitters, whicb leo.necl to possess a restorative power whicb I had n?--? met with in anything else. The first bott> produced on me a marked effect after which I continued using it, and tooli several bottles mora. At first gradually, t^en rapid.y, my strength returned, and I am now perfectly well, thanks to this most excellent tonic." There are instances among the many, o? C>vlo right here in our midst, and who ar? own tr everybody. They have found th? valv^e of ?r*wn's Iph Bitters, and for the good of tueir fcdow-?ein?have no hesitation i speaking about it It is evident that thoei who are ailing and suffering from the varioui infirmities of blood, nerve or digestion, cannot do better than make trial of Brown's Iroi Bittern. Tture are thousands and thousand of caea on record in which it has been of incalculable advantage, and not one instance has ever been found in which its trial reralted in failure. Enrich your blood and drive ou+ liseaae by the use of Brown's Iron B'ttero which you can obtain of any drug gin. Mrs. Oea|Washington, Sr., 231 Prince bt. A toxandria, Va., says: I used Brown's Iroc Bitters with very beneficial result*. Mr. Richard H.

I o A lady on Fifth Avenue, New York, quickly ^ lutnmoned a doctor: "Oh, doctor, my husband is nearly dead. He attended a caucus last night. He made |i tour speeches and promised to be with his F fellow citizens again to-day. But oh, doctor, It tie looks nearly dead." "Has he been in politics long?" n' "No, only last year. He worked hard for James McCaulay'selection." ^ "He will get well, madaml He has a Itomacli for any disease, if ho worked for ]{< him!"
