An intere*ling discovery has been made by the archaeological department of India In an old pagoda at Pagan, which has been called the city of the 9009 pagodas and the religious capital of Burma. Excavations at Petleak- payu, or “the Pagoda of the Curling Leaf,” have brought to light an arched corridor or ambulatory, forming part of an older building than the visible portion of the pagoda, which clearly dates from the reigu of Anawrata in the eleventh century. This corridor is decorated with double rows of square terra cotta reliefs on the exterior and interior sides of the walls, preseuiiug the transmutations of Gotama before he became Buddha. The number of these changes is supposed by tradition to be 500. “The figures are vigorously modeled,” to use the words of the offi cial narrative, "and almost as sharp and as clear now as when they left the kiln.” The Inscriptions are in the Pall character and are easily decipherable.

The most successful book canvasser In the United States Is a woman. She is a Russian and came over here ten years ago, unable to read or write English. Now she is earning $50,000 a year selling “special limited editions” for a Philadelphia house. This woman thinks It nothing to sell a set of books for $10,000, of which she receives 40 per cent. The books of course are sup posed to be bound in covers of special design, the paper, printing and illus trations are of the finest, and the edi tion Is said to be limited. The woman sells the books mostly to wealthy wo men. She drives up to their homes In a magnificent carriage, attended by a footman In livery. She never falls to Impress the prospective customer with her refinement and frequently poses as a Russian countess. There Is hardly a society woman In the country who has not purchased a set of books from this woman.—Argonaut could save. All large ac counts have grown from small ones and the bank is really of more help to the small than the large depositor. A growing bank account is a most valuable asset.

On tbe day when he last entered the Atlantic office, in January, Mr. Aldrich seemed, for the first time, to have | grown old. One of his friends spoke , of It as he went out. Up till that . morning the weight of seventy years ! had scarcely seemed to tomb the erect, 1 jaunty figure. The lines that time had written around his clear blue eyes and firm mouth conveyed no hint of senility. His bn!r was scarcely gray. His voice, slightly husky in its graver, sweeter tones, retained a delicious youthful crispness as It curled and broke, wavelike, into flashing raillery. He bad Just completed bis poem for the Longfellow centenary, his first verse after some years of silence, and when it was praised to Ids face—for i who could help praising it—he blushed | with pleasure like a boy. Yet he had passed threescore and ten. and the shadow, invisible as yet and quite un heralded, was drawing very near.— Bliss Perry in Atlantic. it is useless to alter bad laws un- [ less you are able to obey good ones.
