Scott In his book "The Silken East,” "is In advance of more reputedly civilized countries in the status It accords to Its women. The Infant marriage and shutting up in walled houses, the polygamy, the ha rems, the social punishment of widows, the denial of spiritual rights which pre vail in India are unknown in Burma. Here women marry when they are of age and nfter they hnvo seen some what of the world. They marry, for the most pnrt, whomsoever they will anil from love. They are not handed over us chattels to u man whom they know not, but are courted and won. The married women's property art has in effect been established for centuries In Burma. In this country, where the women earn so much, the woman’s earnings are her own. Divorce Is eas ily obtnined, but seldom nsked for.

"In the eyes of the young men of the land the Burmese girl Is a peerless creature, and her Influence over their hearts nnd their passions Is Immense.

A gasoline engine furnishes the cheapest power obtainable for pumping water, running wood saws, churns or any kind of ma chinery. Farmers who have light work where power is required, will find a gasoline engine “the very thing”. However, they are made in all sizes, from 1 to 100 horse power; and the man who wants a large engine for any purpose will find a gasoline engine perfectly satisfactory. A gasoline engine is far less dangerous than a steam engine; is easily and quickly started and stopped; and can be run by any person of ordinary intelligence, without any knowledge of ma chinery. The International gasoline engine furnishes safe and cheap power. It’s “a beauty" in every respect, and does its work per fectly. You can see an International in operation in the News office.

So It went until three and a half miles had been covered and the Indians had bet all their possessions ngainst the money of the cowboys. Then the cow hoy rider put the spurs to the pony. He passed the horse In the last quarter and crossed the line five lengths ahead. "There were three judges. Two of them were Indians, and the other was a cowboy.

Thereupon the Englishman, being forbidden by a general order of Wellington to give a challenge to or accept oue from a French officer, did what he considered the only thing left him, knocked the Frenchman down and later refused him satisfaction in a duel. The latter then made a formal complaint to the duke, who to soothe the marshal's feel ings sent a written reprimand to the colonel, but in it inclosed a cordial in vitation to dinner. May Bargains.

AN HERB FOR EVERY PAIN. • :<1 Fnahloneil Roineillc* Tlint Were I Med by Our Forbear*, In the village of Greenwich, England, in a quaint old street where the build ings are so thick that they tangle them- selves together in n knot, there is n pieer little shop with a sign over the door that reads, “An Herb For Every Pain.” On the shelves of tills shop are to be found hundreds of different kinds of herbs for the cure of nil bodily ull- ments. Tlipre can be found nil the old time herbs that our grandmothers used to have hanging nround the walls of the kitchen and stored away In the at tic, ready to be made Into teas and sirups In case of sickness. People who still have old fnshioned Ideas about health nnd sickness go there for bugleweed, sumac, winter- green, sassafras, camomile, borehound, yellow dock, catnip, cherry bark, mul lein, extract of oats, lobelia, and so on. All these herbs have the reputation of being good for some one or more ail ments—catnip for nervousness, sassa fras for the blood, borehound and bone- set for colds, sumac for sore throat, wlntergreen for rheumatism, lobelia as an emetic lo case of poisoning, mullein for consumption, etc. Nearly all of these herbs are made into teas. Sassafras tea, boneset tea and catnip tea are brewed nnd served either cold or hot. Among the many hundreds of herbs that are sold in this little shop are some that are deadly poisons, nnd they are labeled and sold under the same restrictions as other poisons. The good old remedies that our grand fathers hunted nnd dug In the woods, those that our grandmothers planted and tended in the garden, have given way to harmful remedies, to drugs that leave the patient in a worse condition than when he began their use. We be lieve it has been a mistake to give up the old remedies.—Medical Talk. THE HUDSON RIVER. of A Friendly Tip. Motorqian—Is it in a hurry ye are to- to Contrary Wind*.
