A Young English Girl Becomes Buddhist.


A novel and imposing ceremony took place
Colombo, by which young and accomplished
English lady, well known in Bombay formally
became q professed follower of Lord Buddha.
Not long ago clergyman from England, the
Rev. G. W. Leadbeater, took the " FIVE pre-
cepts" in the presence Of the High Priest,
Sumangala. This time it was Miss Mary Flynn
who accepted the faith that is now becoming
fashionable among the enlightened classes in
the West.
1t was curious light to see an English young
lady, dressed in an elegant robe of black silk,
Buddhist priests aud repeating the Pansil.
Tho ceremony began by the High Priest ex-
amining the fair candidate as to the reasons
that led her to desire to accept Buddhism as
her faith, to which Miss Flynn answered that,
after having studied the various religious sys-
TENS of the world, she found the Buddhstic
esoteric philosophy as being most in accordance
with her own reason and common sense. Other
questions having been satisfactorily answered
by her, the High Priest administered to her
the five prccepts," which Miss Flynn promised
to observe.
The ceremony ended by the chanting of
Ratana Sutta" by all the priests present. Be-
sides the large number of priests, there were pre-
sent at the temple where the ceremony took
place many of the most prominent BuddhistS of

screw steamer Tibre of the Messagerles Mari

The Fortune of a Yeuug Man.

Every young man has a fortune in the fact of
his youth. The energy of youth is unblunted by
defeat or worn by hope deferred. With age one
becomes more conservative, and looks at as i'm
possible what younger person would endeavor
to accomplish, in many cases with success. The
effort, even if there be failure, is grand sue
cess. Self-confdence, or selfconceit if you
wish to call it so, is a great thing. a young
mans fortune is not to be found in inherited
wealth or social position. Gracious manners or
business habits are good things to cultivate, but
are not all. Will power is the young mans
fortune. 1t is the essence of the man. A young
man with only little will power is foregone
failure. 1t should be cultivated. Genius is q
gift of God, and should not cause pride, but an
honest pursuit of duties is an exhibition of will
power, and is something to be proud of. Well
directed, educated will power is what young
man needs-PrcSideRt Gates.

"Yes," said the saIeswoman, "the bustles
are about the same now as they were eight or
ten years ago, the only improvement being in
the adoption of certain shapes which better fit
the human form; and consequently cause the
dresses of ladies to show to a greater advantage.
There has been noGhange, however, in the ma
terial out of which bustles are manufactured,
the thin steel wire being used exclusively, and
you know this wire sometimes snaps and often
times tears valuable dreESes and causes great
deal of personal discomfort. 1t would be a
great deal better, think, if bustles were man
ufactured out Of some material that is more
pliablc and elasticts 81
"What do you call those bustles which are
rather large and pointout and upward after
the style of a handle on tin dipper?"
- do not knowithat they have any particu-
lar name unless you wish to term them cos
tune bustleS, as they are used to give neat
set to dresses that have long, heavy trains, and
consequently have to be stronger than the ay
erage panier. The small, lumpy little bustle
which is tied around the waist like a life-pre-
server, is worn with walking dresses and about
the house"
as not the life of a wire hustle rather
brief?"

that they are soon crushed, twisted. and bent

ITO tell you the truth, sir, the home made
article gives more satisfaction than any other
l mean the newspaper hustle, which can be
made in few moments. and does not cost
cent. great many ladies will wear no other
kind, because when the papers are properly
wrapped around piece of bailing twine it will
retain its shape, no matter how severely it is
crushed, whereas close seat in street-car is
death to a wire hustle, and that is the reason
why ladies, when they ride in the cars spread
their dresses over the scat and usurp as much
room as they can"

FOR THE LADIES.

The fashionable girls of Philadelphia have
taken up the fiddle and the bow. The outlay for
instruments is often extravagant. One young belle
has what she declares is a Stradivarius 80 years
old. She has had it inlad with pearl. The adj
diton has ruined its tone. Still, that doesn't mat
ter since she has made the instrument odiity
and say that its cost has been nearly 500.
Another enthusiast has fiddle that she declares
was a favorte of Paganini's. Its present extra
ordinary tone may be due to the fact that 1t Is all
tied up with old-gold ribbons. Her teachers
warned her that the tight bands would impair the
quality but the young woman answered that the
difference didn't seem much to her mind and in
any event she WAS determined to retain the NIB
bons because they suited her complexion.
Poetry a waXed mustaehe, mystery, long hair

balance who scoops her in and makes her happy
ever afterward.-FaH Rirer Adraace.

A Deeply Interesting Narrative.


The name of Rev. John Ii. Chandler is an
honored one in the literature and labor of the
Baptist Church, especially in connection with
his forty years devotion to missionary work in
Burmah and Siam, work in which his ac-
complished wife shared during the whole of
this long period. For most of this time his
residence was at Bangkok in Siam, the capital
of the kingdom. Here he rendered himself
valuable to the king and his court as translator
of important documents In 1859 he was APP
pointed IT, S. Consul at Bangkok. He was also
tutor to the present king of Siam.
One of the almost inevitable results of mis-
sonary labor is the breaking down of health
and neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Chandler escaped In
1872 their condition became so serious that they
returned to this country for medical treatment
They went back to Siam in 1874 intending to
stay for six years, but soon grew worse, and had
to come to the United States at the end of
three. What Mr.. Chandler's condition was at
the time is given in his own words, as related
to gentleman who called upon him recently
at his home in Camden, New Jersey:
81 acas complete screck. nv lung ,reaIness sras
so great that for months alta time could not ,crite
or read. The neyres Of my stomach were totally
demoraliaed. ytood 'c9ld not digest had to
lag aside all my teaching and literary labor ,cas
unable to do either physical or mental Work. was
also troubled with palpitation Of the heart and
UM an obstinate cdfdrfh OF ten gears standing !;
altogether aoas a gerry rery sick man. While thus
suffering the Rev. DR.. MacFarand, Presby-
terian missionary at Bangkok, called my at
tention to Compound Oxygen. He had tried
it for indigestion and general debility and had
found it very beneficial.
"While l was on my way home found my
self in a very critical condition. / almost gave
up hope. On reaching philadelphia consulted
Drs. Starkey & Palen.r Il sool began the use of
Compound Oxygen. II acted like charm. Very
soon felt signs of returning strength. In the
matter of diabetes the relief was particularly notice
able. Improvement Went on gradually but
surely became so that could eat with regu-
larity and really enjoy my food. In time my
old symptoms of Wretchedaess and toearness passed
a,uay and was myself again.
"You may judge of my health and strength
when l tell you that was with the Siamese
embassy in New York and Washington few
months ago. travelling with them and going
about as freely and energetically as any Of them.
Compound Oxygen had so recruited nv system
that the unusual exercise of travel had no un-
pleasant effect upon me, nor was in any re-
spect the worse for my journey"
