A slight shudder ran through the girl's
frame. “I wish—.1 wish you hadn’t told
me," she said. “I shall never close my
eyes again comfortably on board of her, I
know. " it
“I would say that you hold purified her
(if all status of her past—hilt there may be
one that remains. And that in most peo-
ple's eyes would be no detraction. You
look puzzled, Miss Nott—but I am com-
ing to the explanation and the end of my
story. A ship of war was sent to the
island to punish the mutiiieers and pirates,
for such they were, but they could not be
found. A private expedition was sent. to
discover the treasure which they were
supposed to have buried,’ but in vain.
About two months ago Mr. Sleight told
me one of his shipmasters had sent him a
Lascar sailor who had to dispose of a
valuable secret regarding the Pontiac for
a percentage. That secret was that the
treasure was never taken by the mutineers
out of the Pontiac! They were about to
land and bury it when we boarded them.
They took advantage of their imprisonment
under hatches to bury it in the ship. They
hid it in the hold so securely and safely
that it was never detected by us or the
Callao authorities. I was then asked, as
one who knew the vessel, to undertake a_
private examination of her, with a view
of purchasing her from your father with-
out awakening his suspicions. I assented.
You have my confession now, Miss Nott.
You know my crime. I am at your mercy.”
Rosey’s arm only tightened around his
own. Her eyes sought his. “And you
didn’t find anything?” she said.
The question sounded so oddly like
Sleight’s, that Renshnw returned alittle
stifiiy—
“I didn’t look."
“Why?" asked Rosey simply.
“Because,” stammered Renshaw, with
an uneasy consciousness of having exagger-
ated his sentiment, “it didn’t seem honor—
able; it didn’t seem fair to you."
“Oh you silly! you might have looked
and told me.” .
“But.” said Renshaw, “do you think
that would have been fair to Sleight?"
“As fair to him as to us: For, don‘t
you see, it wouldn’t belong to any of us.
It would belong to the friends or the fam-
ily of the man who lost_it.”
“But there were no heirs," replied Ren-
shaw. “That was proved by some im-
postor who pretended to be his‘brother,
and libeled the Pontiac at Callao, but the
courts decided he was a lunatic.”
“Then it belongs to the poor pirates
who risked their own lives for it, rather
than to Sleight, who did nothing.” She
was silent for a moment, and then re-
sumed with energy, “I believe he was at
the bottom of that attack last night. ”
“l have thought so, too,” said Ren-
Shaw.
“Then I must go back at once,” she
continued, impulsively. “Father must
not be left alone." .
“Nor must you," said Renshaw,
quickly. “Do let me return with you, and
share with you and your father the trouble
I have brought upon you. Do not,” he
added in a lower tone, “deprive me of the
only chance of exploiting my offense, of
making myself worthy your forgiveness.”
“I am sure,” said Rosey, lowering her
lids and half withdrawing her arm, “I am
sure I have nothing to forgive. You did
not believe the treasure belonged to us
any more than to anybody else until you
knew me”— .
“That is true,” said the young man, at—
tempting to take her hand.
“I mean," said Rosey, blushing, and
showing a distracting row of little teeth in
one of her infrequent laughs, “oh, you
know what I mean." She withdrew her
arm gently, and became interested in the
selection of certain wayside bay leaves as
they passed along. “All the same, I don’t
believe in this treasure,” she said abruptly,
as if to change the subject. “I don’t be-
lieve it. ever was hidden inside the
Pontiac.”
“That can easily be ascertained now,"
said Rensliaw. :
"‘But it’s a pity you didn’t find it out
while you were about it,” said Rosey. “It
.would have saved so much talk and
trouble.”
“I have told you why I didn’t search
the ship,” responded Renshaw, with some
bitterness. “But it seemsI could only
avoid being a. great rascal by becoming a
great fool.”
“You never intended to be a. rasca ,”
said Rosey, earnestly, “and you couldn’t
be a fool, except in heading what a silly
girl says. I only meant if you had taken
me into your confidence it would have
been better. ” ‘ ,
“Might I no the same to you re—
garding your ffi‘ewzm Frenchman?"
returned Renshaw. at if I were to
confess to you that I lately suspected him
of knowing the secret and of trying to
gain your assistance?”
Instead of indignantly repudiatiiig the
suggestion, to the young man’s great dis-
comfit-urc, Rosey only knit her pretty
brows, and remained for some moments
silent. Presently she asked timidiy- '
“Do you think it wrong to tell another
person's-secret for their own good?”
“No,” said ,Renshaw, promptly.
“Then I’ll tell you Monsieur de Fer-
rieres’! But only because I believe from
what you have just said that he will turn
out to have some right to the treasure.”
Then with kindling eyes, and a voice
eloquent. with sympathy, Rosey told the
story of her accidental discovery of de
l‘erricrcs’ miserable existence in the loft.
Clothing it with the unconscious poetry
of her fresh, young imagination, she
lightly passed over his antique gallantry
and grotesque weakness, exalt-lug only
his lonely sufferings and mysterious
wrongs. chshaw listened, lost bet-ween
shame for his late suspicious and admira-
tion for her thoughtful delicacy, until she
began to speak of de Ferriercs’ strange
allusions to the foreign papers in his
portinanteau. “I think some were low
papers, and 1 am iilmostccrtain I saw the
word Calluo printed on one of them.”
“It may be so,”'said Renshaw, thought-
fully. “The old Frenchman has always
passed for a harmless, wandering eccen<
trio. I hardly think public curi05it-y has
ever even sought to know his name, tnueh
less his history. But had we not better
first try to find if there is any property
before we examine his claims to it?”
“As you please," said Rosey, with a
slight pout:‘ “but you will find it much
easier to discover him than his treasure.
It’s always easier to find the thing you’re
not looking for.” '
“Until you want it,” said Renshaw,
with sudden gravity.
“How pretty it looks over there,” said
Rosey, turning her conscious eyes to the
posite mountain.
“Very.” '
They had reached the top of the hill,
and in the near distance the chimneyof
Madrono Cottage was even now visible.
At the expected sight they unconsciously
stopped — unconsciously disappointed.
Rosey broke the embarrassing silence.
“There’s another way home, bit it’s a
roundabout way,” she said timidly.
“Let us take it,” said Renshaw.
She hesitated. “The boat goes at 4,
and we must return to-night.”
“The more reason why we should make
the most of our time ’now,” said Renshaw
with a faint smile. “Tomorrow all things
may be changed; to-morrow you may find
yourself- an heiress, Miss Nott. To-mor-
row," he added, with a slight tremor in
his voice, “I may have earned ydur for-
giveness, only to say farewell to you for-
ever. Let me keep this sunshine, this
picture, this companionship with you long _
enough to say now what perhaps I must
not say to-morrow.”
They Were silent for a moment, and
then by a common instinct turned to-
gether into a narrow trail, scarce wide
enough-for two, that diverged from the
straizht. practical oat-hbefore them. It
was 'fiil‘r’éfid a reundabofit way heme,
so roundabout, in fact, that as
they wandered on it seemed oven to
double on its track, occasionally linger-
ing long and becoming indistinct under
the shadow of madrono and willow; at
one time stopping blindly before a fallen
A ‘rouudabout way home.
tree in the hollow, where they had quite
lost it, and had to sit down to recall it; a
rough way, often requiring the mutual
help of each other’s hands and eyes to
tread together in security; an uncertain
way,L not .to be found without whispered
consultation and concession, and yet a
way eventually bringing them hand in
hand, happy and hopeful, no the gate of
Madrono Cottage. And. if there was only
just- time for Rosey to prepare to take the
bout, it was due to the deviousncss of the
way. If a stray curl was lying loose on
Rosey’s cheek, and a long hair had
caught in Renshaw’s button, it was owing
to the roughness of the way; and if in the
tones of their voices and in the glances of
their eyes there was a maturer serious-
ness, it was due to the dim uncertainty of
the path they had traveled, and would
hereafter tread together.
CHAPTER IX.
When Mr. Nott had satisfied himself of
Renshaw’s (leper-tare he coolly' bolted the
door at. the head of the companion way,
thus cutting of! any communication with
the lower deck. Taking a long rifle from
the rack above ills berth, he edrcl‘ully ex-
amined the hammer and cap' and then'
cautiously le‘. himself down through the
forehatch to the deck below. After a de-
liberate survey of the still intact fasten-
ings of the hatch over the forehold, he pro-
ceeded quietly to unloose them again with
the aid of the tools that still lay there.
When the hatch was once more free he
lifted it, and, withdrawing ufew feet from
the opening, sat himself down rifle in
hand. A profound silence reigned through-
out- thc lower deck.
“Ye kin rize up out 0’ that,” said Nott
gently.
There was a stealthy rustle below that
seemed to approach the hatch, and then
with a sudden bound the Lascar leaped
on the deck. But at the same instant Nott
covered him with his rifle. A slight shade
of; disappointment and surprise had crossed
the old man’s face, and clouded his small
round eyes at the apparition of the Las-
car, but. his hand was none the less firm
upon the trigger as the frightened prisoner
sank on his knees, with his hands clasped
iii the attitude of supplication for mercy.
~“Ef you re thinkiu’ o’ skipplu’ afore
I’ve done with yer,” said Nott with he
bored gentleness, “I oughter warn ye
that it’s my style to drop Injins at 200
yards, and this deck ain’t anywhere more'n
fifty. It‘s an uncomfortable style, a. nasty
style—but it’s my style. I thought I’d
tell yer, so yer could take it easy where
you air. Where’s Ferrers?”
Even in the man’s insane terror, his ut-
ter bewilderment at the question was evi-
dent. "Ferret-s?” he gasped; “don’t know
him, I swear to God, boss.”
“P'r’aps,” said Nott, with infinite cun-
ning, “yer don’t know the mail ez kem
into the loft from the alley last night—
p’r’aps yer didn’t see an airy Frenchman
with a dyed mustache, eh? I thought that
would fetch ye!” hecontinued, as the man
started at the evidence that his vision of
last night was a living man. “P’r’aps
you and him didn’t break into this ship
last night, jist to run off with my darter
Bosey? P’r’aps yer don’t know Rosey,
ell? P’r’aps yer don’t know on Ferrers
wants to marry her, and hcz been hangin’
round yer ever since he left—ch?”
Scarcely believing the evidence of his ,
senses that the old man whose treasure he
had been trying to St'nll was utterly ignor-
ant of his real offense, and yet uncertain
of the penalty of the other crime of which
he was accused, the. Lnscar writhed his
body and stainmered vaguely, “lifercy!
Mercy!”
“Well,” said Nott cautiously, “ez I
reckon the hide of a dead Chinee nigger
ain’t any more vallyble that that of a dead
Injin, Idon’t care of I let up on yer-
seein’ the cussedness ain’t yours. But of
I let yer ofl this once you must take a
message to Ferret's from me.”
“Let' me 03 this time, boss, and I
swear to God I will,” said the Lascar
eagerly. .
“Ye kin say to Forrers—let me see”—
deliberated Nott, leaning on his rifle with
cautious reflection. “Ye kin say to Fer-
ret's like this—sez you, ‘Fcrrers,’ sez you,
‘the old man.sez that afore you went
away you sez to him, sez you, “I take my
honor with me," sez you’—have you got
that?” interrupted Nott suddenly.
“Yes, boss." " i
“ ‘I take my honor with me,’ sez you,"
repeated Nott slowly. “ ‘Now,’ sez you
—‘the old man sez, sec .he—tell Ferrers,
sez he, that his honor havln' run away
agin, he sends it back to him, and ef he
ever ketches it around after this he’ll
shoot it on sight.’ Hev yer got that!”
“Yes,” stammered the bewildered cap-
tive.
“Then git!”
The Lascar sprung to his feet with the
agility of a panther, leaped through the
hatch above him, and disappeared over
the bow of the ship with an unhesitating
directness that showed that every avenue
of escape had been already contemplated
by him. Slipping lightly from the cut-
water to the ground, he continued his
flight, only stopping at the private office
of Mr. Sleight. ' 3
When Mr. Renshaw and Rosey Nott ar-
rived on board the Pontiac that evening,
they were astonished to find the passage
before the cabin completely occupied with
trunks and boxes, and the bulk of their
household goods apparently in the process
of removal. Mr. Nott, who was superin-
tending the work of the two Chinamen,
betrayed not only no surprise at the up-
pearancc of the young people, but not the
remotest recognition of their own bewil-
derment at his occupation.
“Kalkilatin'e” he f remarked césually to
his daughter, “you’d rather look arter-
your fixin's, Rosey, I’ve left ’em till the
last. P’r’aps yer and Mr. Renshaw
wouldn’t mind Sittin’ down on that locker
until I’ve strapped this yer box. '
“But what does it all mean, father?”
said Rosey, taking the old man by the la-
pel of his pen, jacket and slightly empha-
sizing her question. What in the name of
goodness are you doing?” .
“Breakin’ camp, Rosey, dear, breakin’
sump, jist as we uster," replied Nott, with
cheerful philosophy. “Kinder like ole
times, ain’t it? Lord, Rosey,” he contin-
ued, stopping and following up the remi-
niscence with the end of the rope in his
hand as if it were a. clew, “don’t ye mind
that day we started outer Liver-more pass
and seed the hull o’ the Californy coast
stretchin’ yonder, eh.’ But don’t ye be
skeered, Rosey, dear," he added quickly,
as if in recognition of the alarm expressed
in her face. “I ain’t turning ye outer
house and home; I’ve jist hired that ’ere
Madrono Cottage from the Peters ontil we
,kin' look round.” ,
“But you‘re not leaving the ship.
father," continued Rosey, impetuously.
“You haven’t soldit to that man Sleight?”
Mr. Nott rose and carefully closed the
cabin door. Then drawingva largo wallet
from his pocket, he said, “It’s sing’lar ye
511012." Ls? got the name right the first
open hatch of the forehold.
pop; ain't it, Mossy? but it’s Sleight, sure
enough, all the time. This yer check," he
added, producing a paper from the depths
of the wallet, “this yer check for $25,000
is what he paid for it only two hours ago."
“But," said' Renshaw, springing to his
feet furiously, “you're duped, swindled—
betrayed!”
“Young man," said Nott, throwing a
certain dignity into his habitual gesture of
placing his hands on Renahaw’s shoulders,
“I bought this yer ship five years ago jist
ez she stood for $8,000. Kalkilatin’ wot
she cost me in repairs and taxes, and wet
she brought. me in since then, accordin’ to
my flggerin’, I don’t call a clear profit of
$15,000 much of a swindle.”
“Tell him all,” said Rosey, quickly,
more alarmed at Renshaw’s despairing
face than at the news itself. “Tell him
everything, Dick—Mr. Rensha-w; it- may
not be too late.”
In a. voice half choked with passionate
indignation Renshaw hurriedly repeated
the story of the hidden treasure, and the
plot to rescue it, prompted frequently by
Rosey’s tenacious memory, and assisted
by Rosey‘s deft and tactful explanations.
' Brit to their surprise the imperturbable
countenance of Abner Nott never altered;
a. slight moisture of kindly paternal toler-
ance of their extravagance glistened in
his little eyes, but nothing more.
“Ef there was a part 0’ this ship, a
plank or a bolt ez I don’t know, ez I hevn’t
touched with my own hand, and looked
into with my own eyes, thar might be
suthin’ in that story. I don’t let on to be
a. sailor like you, but ez I know the ship
ez a boy knows his first boss, as a woman
knows her first hobby, I reckon thar ain’t
no treasure yer, onless it was brought into
the Pontiac last night by them chaps.“
“But are you mad? Sleight would not
pay three times the value of the ship
today if he were not positive! And that
positive knowledge was gained last night
by the villain who broke into the Pontiac
—no doubt the Lascar.” ‘
“Surely,” said Nott, meditatively. “The
Lascar! There’s suthin’ in that. That
Lascar I fastened down in the hold last
night unbekownst to you, Mr. Renshaw,
and let him out again this morning ekally
unbeknownst. ”
“And you let him carry his informa-
tion to Sleight—without a word!" said
Renshaw, with a sickening sense of Nott’s
utter fatuity.
”I sent him back with a message to the
man he kom from,” said Nott, winking
both his eyes at Renshaw significantly,
and making signs behind his daughter‘s
back. _
Rosey, conscious of her lover’s irrita-
tion, and more eager to soothe his im-
patience than from any faith in her sug-
gestion, interfered. “Why not examine
the place where he was concealed? he may
have left some traces of his search.”
The two men. looked at each other.
“Seein’ ez I’ve turned the Pontiac over to
Sleight jist ez it stands, I don’t know ez
it’s ’zactly on the square," said Nott
doubt-fully. ‘
“You’ve a right to know at least what
you deliver to him,” interrupted Renshaw
brusqucly. “Bring a lantern.”
Followed by Rosey, chshaw and Nott
hurriedly sought the lower deck and the
The two
men leaped down first with the lantern,
and then assisted Rosey to descend. Ren-
shaw took a step forward- and uttered
a cry.
The rays of the lantern fell on the ship’s
side. The Lascar had, during his forced
seclusion, put back the boxes of treasure
and replaced the planking, yet not so care-
fully but that the quick eye of Renshaw
had discovered it. The next moment he
had stripped away the planking again,
and the hurriedly restored box which the
Lascar had found fell to the deck, scat.-
tering part of its ringing contents. Rosey
turned pale; Renshaw’s eyes flashed fire;
only Abner Nott remained quiet and im-
passive.
“Are you satisfied you have been
duped?” said Renshaw passionately.
To their surprise Mr. Nott stooped
down, and picking up one of the coins
handed. it gravely to chshaw. “Would
ye mind heftin’ that ’ere coin in your
hand—feelin’ it, bittn’ it, scrapln’ it with
a knife, and kinder seein’ how it come
pares with other coins?”
“What do you mean?” said Renshaw.
“I mean that that yer coin—that all.
the coins in this yer box, that all the coins
in them other boxes—and ther’s fort-y on
’em—is all and everyone of ’em counter-
felts!”
The piece dropped unconsciously from
Renshaw’s hand, and striking another
- that lay on the deck gave out a dull, sus-
picious ring.
“They waz counterfeits got up by them
Dutch supercargo sharps for dealin’ with
the Injins and cannibals and Southsea
heathens ez bows down to wood and
stone. It satisfied them cz well ez them
buttons ye puts in ,missionary boxes, I
reckon, and ’cepting ez freight, don’t cost
nothin’. I found ’em tucked in the ribs
0’ the old Pontiac when I bought her, and
I nailed ’em up in that lest they should
fall into dishonest hands. It’s a lucky
thing, Mr. Renshaw, that they comes into
the honest fingers of a square man like
Sleight—ain’t it?”
He turned his small, guileless eyes upon
Renshaw with such childlike simplicity
that it checked the hysterical laugh that
was rising to the young man’s lips.
“But did any one know of this but
yourself? ’ ' _
“I reckon not. I once suspicioned that
old Cap’en Bowers, who was always fool-
in’ round the‘hold yer, must hev noticed
the bulge in the casin’, but when he took
to axin’ questions I axed others—ye know
my style, Rosey? Come.”
He led the way grimly back to the
cabin, the young people following; but
turning suddenly at the companion way
he observed Renshaw’s arm around the
waist of his daughter. He said nothing
until they had reached the cabin, when
he closed the door softly, and looking at
them both gently, said with infinite cun-
ning:
“Ef it isn’t too late, Rosey, yc kin tell
this young man ez how I forgive him for
havin’ diskivered The Treasure of the
Pontiac.” '
e- a: an: a e: a:
It was nearly eighteen months after-
wards that Mr. Nott one morning entered
the room of his sun-in-law at Madrono
Cottage. Drawing him aside, he saidwith
his old air of mystery: “Now ez Rosey’s
atlin’ and don’t seem to be so eager to dis-
kiver what’s become of Mr. Ferrers, Idont
mind tellin’ ye that over ayear agolheard
he died suddenly in Sacramento. Thar
was suthin’ in the paper about his bein’ a.
lunatic and claimin’ to bearelutiou to
somebody on the Pontiac; but likes ez not
it’s only the way those newspaper fellows
got hold of the story of his want-in’ to
marry Rosey.”
' THE END.
Apples for horses.
“Professor, did you over use any drugs in
the management of your horses?”
“A good many years ago I tried ‘oil of
rhodium' and ,‘oil of cummin,’ butInevor
could discover that any benefit was derived
from either. I would rather have apples
twice over than any drug that has ever been
advertised. Drugs have as vicious effects
upon auiinalsas upon individuals. For in-
stance, I have tried morphine hypodermienlly
on some vicious horses with excellent effect,
while on others it has acted in precisely an
opposite way. You can never tell how it
will operate until you have experimented,
which makes it dangerous.”—‘-New Orleans

A SIMPLE PEOPLE.
A TRAVELER TELLS OF THE TRAITS
OF THE BURMESE.
Good Suturod and Kind to Strangers—I
Kite Flying to Favor-[to Amusement—
Pcciiliaritios 9f the Language—Pictur-
esque Costume.
The Burmese are a very good natured
[temple and kind to strangers. Being natur-
ally free and independent in their nature,
they do not cringe and bow down before the
white men, as most Asiatics do. They look
with contempt, mingled with pity, upon the
servile Bengnlee rand Madmssee. The Bar-
mese are by far the finest race physically I
have met with during my residence in the
east. Although not, as a. rule, tall, they are
models of manlygform and grace. They are
very athletic and "strong, and excel in all
manly sports. T ey are fine wrestlers, tak-
ing delight in suc. games of strength. When
a Burman talks t6 you he looks you straight
in the face, and bears himself altogether in a
manly way. Like most Orientals, they are
not overfond of work, and take every advan-
tage of the numerous holidays in, their cal-
endar. l.
On these holidays, during the dry mon-
soon, the men phiy- ball add other games.
During the rainy§season all outdoor work has
to bra-suspended. be game of ballbomowhat
resembles football withvthe kicking left out.
The game coniriie‘i by one of the players
running as far as _ 'mnwith the ball toward
the goal. Hedoe‘éfciot cmy it far before he
is caught up with; the ball ‘wrest'ed from him
and tossed from One side, to the other, until
finally it is thrown or urn-led between the:
two poles which are set up at the ends of the
ball ground.
a. Favour”: knusarmx'r.
Another favorite amusement of the Bur-
mese, not only on‘s'aints’ days and holidays,
but on all evenings when a delicious breeze
permits, is kite flying. These kites are made
of the thin rice paper common in the coun-
try, wasted over split bamboo frames and
shaped into the forms of various birds and
beasts, the kalong dragon being a preferred
figure. They‘believe that the dragon at one
period was a common animal, but that it has
now become extinct. ' These “counterfeit
presentments” are very comical and fantastic
in appearance, being colored with a free
hand and a liberal allowance of the brightest
and gaudiesf; shades.
Very few Burmese, outside of the seaport
towns and large stations in the interior of.
the country, care to learn to speak English,
so that all who desire to know anything
about the country-must learn to read, write
and speak the language of the land. The lat-
ter isthe most difficult, as there are many
words Spelled alike but which have different
pronunciations and meanings. It takes
months before the learner can hit the right
inflection or intonation. Some never learn
to speak Burmese properly, although they
may have resided for, years in the country.
The writing appears simple, being composed
of circular and semi-circular letters, but the
very simplicity of form makes the letters
more difficult to recollect, so many being
comparatively alike. Every consonant ends
with "a." The vowels are attached to the
top or bottom of the consonants. In writing
the words are placed close together, no
space being left between each word. This
adds to the diffi-ulties and perplexities the
learner has to estimator.

the Burltll‘i (-‘cniidaom. as a reward of such
pure lives that I confess I never attempt to
convert them to my own faith.
PICTURESQL’E COSTUME.
The costume 'oi' the Burmese, male and
female. is. picturesque, if somewhat; scanty.
The usual garment for men is a. long piece of
silk or cotton cloth. of a plaid pattern, in
which rods of. various shades predominate.
This body cloth is about three—quarters of a
yard wide, and is long enough to be wound
around the l:)ill:t"fllld upper portions of the.
legs several thrombus end falling in front
over the left shoulder, leaving the muscular
throat and a portion of the chest bare. They
wear their blue black hair long like a woman,
unlike most- Oricntals who shave their heads~
In Burmali only the Foongyees hav1 shaveii
heads. A rope. like wisp of white or colored
calico is interlaced with their luxuriant locks
and wound round their head. All have holes
slit in the lobes of their ears to hold a. cigar-
ette or any sniali trifle. Their bodies are
tattooed from their loins down to nine inches
above the knees with figures from their
mythology; also, those of beasts, birds and
reptiles, not to omit the inevitable Kalong,
dragon. Their arms and chests are also
tattooed with figures of women and animals.
The better sort among the people, who are
wealthier than their working brethren, wear
a velvet or cloth jacket of some dark color,
blue being a favorite color, called an injec.
Gold buttons often ornament this jacket.
For the lower portion of the body a loongyoe
great round is worn. This is usually of
thick silk, of plaid pattern and from a. yard
to a yard and a half in width. A length of
about two and a. half yards is cut; off the
piece and joined at the ends. A garmert
somewhat liken pctticont without a. waist-
; formed. It is worn tucked in a
or round» the waist and falling,r
. x. v: ankles-a The feet are shod in a
kind of.“ lillll which must be very uncom-

wound amid the long hair, with a.
lal'g’ctni‘t’filoslit-il comb stuck in the back
portion. urn! generally. a large pin of the
sonic material thrust through the thick locks,
completes the costume of a well to do coun-
try gentlezzinn or merchant. I omitted to
. state that stockings are not worn by either
sex, the feet of both sexes being kept scrupu-
lously clean, with the nails carefully pure?
and trimmed. On entering a. house the sub
dais are left on the veranda. it not being nc~
cording to Burmese etiquette to wear cover-
ings to the feet indoors. They, however,
keep the head covered—San Francisco
' Chronicle
A Chinese Actor.
You must not stir; there are no intervals,
and you might “mar all by this, starting.”
You must watch intently the exits ..nd en-
trances, note the disguises and transforma-
tions. An actor who has gone out scantily
clad may reappear in flowing robes 14 feet
in circumference, with a gorgeous helmet
2 feet high, but you must be able to recog-
nize him; you must look beyond the stream-
ing beard and mustache that hang so oddly
in front of his face like a veil. You must
not be deceived by appearances; “there are
cozeners abroad.” That hero is not necessa-
ri 1y dead because his head has apparently
been cut off—it may be he has only suffered
enchantment; nor this man be alive because
he is stalking round the stage with the others
—thcre are such things as spirits and dreams,
and this man may percbanoe he a dream or a
‘ spirit.
If you need an interpreter, find out a friend—
ly Chinaman in the audience who can speak-
a little English—s. washer-man or a. domestic
servant—and sit n-Ja? him. Then, when a new
character appears, you can make your in-
quiries. You may learn “him allee same
good, him all light," and feel confidence in
him accordingly; or it may be that your
neighbor’s opinion is unfavorable, and he
think “him heap had, him allec some debbil,"
when you will expect to find the new comer
doing wickedly, even though he have no black
and white paint on his face. Thus you will
be able to separate the sheep from the goats.

THE LAW OF REST.
A MAN MUST SLEEP IN PROPOR-
TION TO HIS LABORS,
Else Ho Curtnils His Own Ability, Health.
Strength and Life—Habits Formed in
Childhood—lilo Greatest Folly of 0m-
RImlcrii Lilli.
A l’llt‘lll must sleep in proportion to his Ia-
bors. The average demand is eight hours, or
one-third of the day. Whoever clips this is
sure to clip his own ability, health, strength
and life. There is no release from the law.
A mail may-believe himself an exception. '
For a short time he may seem to be such, but
he is doomed to illustrate the law with an
emphasis. There is no crash and break up
like that of a powerful man, when he gets to
a. broken wheel. He looks the recuperative
power of men comparatively more fragile.
He cannot bend, he breaks. The probability
is he will betel-:9 himself to narcotics or stim-
ulants—and after a bondage of that sort go
out ignominiously. No, there is one law that
must be obeyed. You must sleep or g6 to
pieces. Grant said he could do nothing with
less than nine hours’ sleep. Napoleon was a
superb sleeper; but when his ability to sleep
waned his power went with it. .
I propose to suggest where the mistakes
arise that lead to sleeplessness. First of all
their) is a vital. error with children. A child
should be in bed as the fowls are, at sundown
at least. And he shouldbo allowed to rise in
the morning as soon as he wakes. It is not
only torture, but an unhealthy mischief, to
compel children to lie in bed, awake, two
hours, to prevent disturbing older people.
I nbomiuatc night parties for children. 1 ix.-
lievc every physician does. It is not so much
the exposure, and the eating in the night, and
the bad associations formed (of a high
toned sort, possibly), but the breaking into
the sleep habit. v Equally ball is it for chil-
dren to study in the evening. It; gorges their
brains with blood; and if they sleep they
dream. You cannot emphasize too strongly
the mischief of children’s night study.
Whatever it stolid lot of animal natures
can do, (our American children are sensitives
and cannot. «lo—that is, safely sleep two in a.
bed. No matter in what else you economize,
there is a criminal folly in economizing beds.
Every person needs his own bed more than
he needs his own chair or his own plate at;
table. Am! the best bed in the world is a
good bed of fresh straw covered with plenty
of quilts. No child should be allowed to
sleep on feathers or animal refuse of any
otlior sort. But to sleep two in a bed is a
vital damage. One is sure to absorb the
electric energy of the other. that we must
look for is to accumulate constitution for the
child, and establish a. stout, conservative ten-
dency. Our American life will be sure to
make heavy drafts on him. If he has no
capital he can pay no interest. This habit
of sleeping alone should be retained through
life under all circmnstaiices. More mischief,
as well as immorality, comes from the opposite
course than from any other common habit.
A good deal of nonsense is sometimes pub-
lished about sending children to bed with
full stomachs. This is well enough so long as
a babe is an animal and has not awakened to
much use of the brain, but as soon as a child
has come .to an age of active thought he
should have a chance for light exercise and
sport after his meals, never, however, allow~
ing him to go to bed excited. Above all
things to be deprecated is the stormy season,
so frequently indulged just at retiring. The
child prefers to sit up, and invariably retires
in a. storm of passion, added to by the storm
of nurse or parent. He should be calmly and
firmly restrained from all such outbreaks.
There is a great: difference in children about
retiring; some very active brains grow sleepy
and desire to retire early, others equally ac-
tive grow wakeful and excited.
\Vhen shall We break up our habits formed
in childhood? Most certainly they should
never be modified beyond the absolute de-
mands of life. The proper time to sleep is as
the active hours pass into. the passive. , All
nature at the withdrawal of light is lulled
into rest. Man only, with a few predatory
animals, resists the impulsion of nature, and
undertakes either to shorten his sleep or to.
readjust his rest to later hours. His power to
thus adapt himself is for more limited than
he supposes. \Vitb the rarest exceptions, each
person in turn, sooner or later, breaks down,
and must submit to nature or suffer the con-
sequences. We have becomes nervous people,
becauw we do not sleep and recuperate. I
never have seen five Americans that slept too
much: I rarely have known one who slept
enough. There is no escaping the one great
law that life depends on rebuilding regularly
what is used up by daily activity. There-
fore, I say, as far as possible, retire at an
early hour and a. regular hour throughout
life. It will lengthen as well as strengthen
your days beyond any and all other habits.
The. great folly of our modern life is the
supposition that there can be any substitute
for sleep. The stupidity produced by nar-
cotics is a mockery. It stops waste, to a de-
gree;but it does not assist to any adequate
degree in repair. The function of true sleep-
is repair. Of all the narcotics, that which
gives the nearest resemblance to sleep is
chloral hydrate. But its operation is so vio-
lent that it rapidly degenerates both the heart
and the brain. “'hcn it does not kill out—
right, it produces evils that areworse than
death—semi-lunacy and heart disease. No
drug has yet been discovered that can give
us warrant for disobedience to natural im-
pulses. Break up your habit for sleep, and
you are at once in danger. Put yourself
under the power of a drug, and you will be a.
slave more completely than any negro that
ever obeyed and suffered in a rice swamp. If
our bondage has begun, you must: break it
y returning to natural habits, or you will
die misorabl '. There is no escape from the
dilemma. I turn to nature, sleep at natural
hours, and don’t expect to live on your on i—
tnl, but on the interest—M. Maurice, M. .
in Globe-Democrat.
Prosperity of New York Magazines.
The rivalry between the magazines of New
York is very great at present. Their market
is the whole country. Their revenues increase
with the growth of intelligence. As their
success depends on the quality and attractive-
ness of their contents, there is intellectual as
Well as business rivalry, and the extent to
which this is carried may be seen in the flam-
boyant promises of the advertisements which
they are issuing at this season of the year.
Famous names are heralded abroad by the
publishers and moving or taking themes or
fascinating romances or charming illustra-
tions are put in competition with others of
the kind until one is almost bewildered by
the spectacle. All this furnishes opportuxl. ’,'
for competent writers in every field of letters,
and it is certain that never before were the
openings so great for such writers in our
country. Young literary aspirants are al«
ways assuring each other that there is no
chance for genius nowadays, but they can
learn in the office of every magazine that the
competition to secure “genius" is act-ivdy
pursued the year round.
The influence of the New York magazines
upon the literary and artistic culture of the
country is very great, and it is a matter of
pride that the character of all of them make:
them worthy of their fortunes—John Swin-
ton in Philadelphia Press.
A Triumph of Engineering Skin.
The other day the headings between the!
two deepest straits in the new aqueduct tun!-
ncl met, with scarcely a hair’s breadth 0:
variation. So accurate were the calculations
of the engineers and so skillful the work done
under them that the points of the drills met
when the partition between the two sections
of the tunnel was penetrated. Thus a pas-
sage over a. mile in length was burrowed
through soil and rock with such mathemati-
cal. precision that no one could tell where the
juncture of the two portions was located.
This is a notable triumph of engineering;
skill, and proves that the men in charge of
the aqueduct boring are the peers of the best
mining engineers in the world—New Yorli

the county judge is as low as $250 a year.
