i In Panama City.
In Panama City the streets, though
narrow, are well paved, and sanitary
conditions are all that tuny be desired.
The houses are picturesque with their
balconied fronts, and scarcely a house
exists but there Is some storo beneath
It
This, of course, is the result of a
sudden growth of business.
Of churches there are many, and
historic landmarks constantly revive
memories of marauding pirates, ro-
mantic days and of the glories and
opulence of what was once one of
Spain's strongest and best garrisoned
cities on this hemisphere.
The tourist can still see the ruins
of old l’unuma across the green sa-
vannas and can cross the famous
bridge over which Morgan marched
to attack and sack the city. >
The tower of the Cathedral of St
AnastuKlus rises above tbe other re-
mains of the fortifications and dun-
geons now overgrown with dense‘vege-
tatioa and tropical jungle. |

A Forost Rsngsr’s Msthod of Prepar-
ing Baked Chicken.
One summer day, while laboriously
picking a sage ben. a frieudly forest
ranger approached, smiling, and offered
to show me an easier way.
He lifted a bird as yet untouched by
my hands and deftly cleaned but did
not pick it Then he sifted some dirt
from the ground Into a big mixing psn
half filled with water. With these In
gredlents he mixed a paste of soft mud.
Now he cut a slab of bacon, which he
placed Inside the ben, with a good
sprinkling of pepper und salt »t last
stuffing feathers Into tho opening
keep the meat clean. This doue,
covered tho chicken with the mud
paste.
Now he dug a hole deep enough to
put the bird in. In tbe hgle he built
fire and waited uutil there was a thick
coating of coals on the sides and bot-
tom. Next he carefully placed the mud
coated chicken on top. All this
covered with shovels of dirt until the
holo was airtight Now ho turned
me and said, “It will be cooked In one
hour from now.”
With that ho went his way.
At the end of the hour he came again
and. throwing back the soil, drew forth
the chicken, quickly skinned It and
laid before us a delicately browned
chicken with a wholesome odor about
It—Outing.

One of the most troublesome, and
also useless hnppenlugs of every-duy
life Is a bank “run.” It has Its incep-
tion In a minor that apparently comes
from nowhere. A chance remark, a
trivial misunderstanding, a deliberate
and vicious thrust from a vengeful
person—any one of these agencies is
sufficient to start a horde of depositors
feverishly to the rescue of their sav-
ings. The hopelessness of their mis-
sion Is what makes It most regrettable.

Ancient Belief* In India.
nVIshnu and Siva are today worshiped
by the Hindus of South Iudla, but so
little Is known of the early history ol
that country that the origin of thesu
two forms of religion can only be con-
jectured. Behind them is the still more
primitive worship of serpents and
trees, which still frequently appears In
connection with the worship of Vishnu.
A golden Image of a seven-headed ser-
pent Is yet to be seen In two of the
most famous Hindu temples of South
India. In one temple it is the prin-
cipal Image; In the other It stands
between two chief Hindu gods.
Serpent worship Is one of the most
primitive religions In the world, and
at the same time one of the most de-
grading. In early times It was Inva-
riably connected with human sacrifice.
