The country was new to mean l I had never \ isited a pagoda. So, at my re,|Uest Mrs. Mix. said we would take a walk to the pagoda early the ‘next iporning. I sup : nose that ail the readers know what a pagoda is. It is a tali uionunient erected by the natives of this country to their Gods. Some are duo feet highland have their umbrella tops of pure gold, studded with diamonds, rubles and other most precious stones. This pagoda is not very large but has lately been recovered with a gold leaf and painted georgously. Early next morning we started tor the paJgoda. We took two Karen boy with us to show us the way. tor they do not have roads leading to every place as we do in America. We walked down our lane and soon came to a road. The rea ls they do have are well cared tor. and would put to shame many of the pikes in Adams county. The English government has civil engineers in every town of importance in Burma, and public highways, through their supervision, are improved from year to year. They are made of crushed stone covered with gravel. Many of these roadsare swept evert morning by natives, whose labor of course is very (heap. <>n the wav we passed not tar from a sn ail graveyard.

Before wy reiiehvd the village we passed a house of u heathen priest, with whom Mrs. Mix was acquainted I was very anxious to seethe insidf 1 of a priest's hoiisC. so we went in. There was nothing tosee in the large room but a large table tn one corner and on it stood two pretty American clocks. The preist sat <>w a straw mat, and was eating his breakfast. It consisted simolj of rice in a large bowl and he ate with his Landa. Mrs. Mix conversed with him in the Shan language. The tii-st thing he did was to ask about a brother priest of his who had been seemingly converted, but had proved to be a traitor to the Christian faith. He-had been sent to the penitentiary at Rangoon. The priests are a very dishonest and politic people, and sometimes profess to be e.hristfons it) order to be better able to do mßchiet. But there arc many who become real true Christians, and here as elsewhere there must be some black sheep among our flock.

A SPOKEN FRIENDSHIP. It (Va» Terminated by n Bullet In a Frontier Town. It was in the early days of a town ift southwestern Kansas. The deadly “45” was the most respected law of the place, and daily and nightly, in the half dozen saloons which tiie embryo city supported, were congregated as rough a set of men as could be found in any town of the size west of the Mississippi, spending their time in gambling and carousing. Monarch of all the roughs was Ed Prather. He had eight notches in tiie handle of his trusty 45, signifying that, by his hand eight human beings had been sent to their long home. Prather’s bosom friend was Billy Wells. He, too, wasa “bad num” in the western acceptance of the term. Damon and Pythias were not more fraternal than these two desperadoes When one was seen, the other was tuways near. If one got into trouble, the other was always on hand to assist him. Tin tragic end of this friend-hip came one summer morning. Prutlur had just successfully "st,-ml off” a sheriil and his p,,sse, and tiie crowd i f T tuglis wa;* congregated in his saloon, c.ingratulatiug him, drinking to bis h'-alth ano celebrating the occasion by filling themselves up with what is fcn-iwn io wtstern v rimeuLir as ”40 rod, ” preparatory to t, :-r..riz:i:g tiie toWii. Suddenly Praia; rdrev- his r, volo rfrom the seaboard, and saying, ‘‘Boy.-;, watch mo put a hole through Billy’s hat.” find. There was a yell of agony, and Wells fell to the I‘, >or wnindi d to the death. ‘'My Gi j, have 1 killed him?” wen Prather’s first words. Then, throwing down his ri voider, he sprang to side bf the wounded man, just tis the las' quiver came over the prostrate form and the.s.'’ul went l j ritidir its account.

" And the carousal went on. Thus was one more chapter added to the history of frontier life.—Detroit Free Press. AN INDIGNANT FISH. One Deprived of Its Trey by the Ki'i kl€|> Interference of Another. While tiie buegaKv known also as the cunner, is not altogether a bottom feeding fish, still it f<t*ds mostly on the bottom, taking whatever it can find there,, nipping tlhead oft' a clam when it gets a chance, and not neglecting the vo tins of many kinds which find’a home there. There were two burgalls in a tank at the aquarium. One day a nereis showed its head above the sand and gravel on tl,e bottom of the tank alongside a little pebble.' The nereis is a marim* worm that lives at the bottom. This particular nereis might have been three inches in length by an eightli < f an inch in diameter. One of the burgalls saw it as soon as it lifted its head above the bot- , tonl, and lie began to make for it at one- 1 , but not precipitately. ; In fact, lie did not seem to notice the nereis at all. Unjust loafed about in the water, and it .iust liiqqa tied apparently that his general movement carried him iii._t.hat direct-irnn — . , The nereis was probably I "'king for food. Gradually it raised its head until it was half an the sand. The burgall, which had started a foot or more away, wtts then within six inches of it. Then liie other burgall saw the nereis, and this burgall mad" a rush for it. There was nothing for the first one to do now tmt to make a rush for it t< o. Tiie two burgalls met bend on with their noses right over the pebble alongside which the in o is had raised its head, but thrf-nereis had disappeared. The force 'f the collision threw the first burgall oil his balance. For a moment he lay ri thewater at ;tn angle of 45 degrees, but he righted hir.isolf and instantly started f .r bur-, gall No. 2, ;md (•haseil, him round and round the tank and finally up into a corner, where be held him for amitiufe, and tlien Ju' swam sob tnv.lj’ away, indignant no doubt that the reckless interference of the other had cost him flic prey he had so .carefully planned to take. —New York Sun.
