Anectionate Epistoiary Untruths.
M

There is a great amount OF untruth
about the formal Examinations to many
Of our letters. Formally Is doubtless
always moro or less false; but it seems
q pity and a mistake that civilization
should prompt us TO utter falsehoods.
= Seeing then that very fire.
q~uently not one of these nffectionate
phrases have an atom of truth in them,
would it not do Just as well to terminate
with the name of the writer and a greet
ing, the same as though we had met our
acquaintance in the street,
Face to face no n would pretend to
talk such nonsense. Fancy such a
thing as telling half a dozen men that
we were truly theirs, and a do en- others
that we we're ever theirs sincerely, and
u receiving similar pr~otestations every
time we met Foreigners kissing and
hugging in the streets would be nothing
to II. Yet we write the nonsense we
should DO above expressing verbally.
What we think to be necessary polite
ness in n letter we should consider
ridiculous formality, and an absurd
parade of words if they were exchanged
in person.

Of cases consumption begins with a
slight cough in the morning on getting

is tedious, painful and inevitable. How
much it is to be wished that the sy np-

generally studied and understood that
IL might be detected in its first insidious
approaches and application be made at
once for its arrest and total eradication;
for certain it is that in very many in
stances it could be accomplished.
IL must be remembered that cough is
not an invariaDle attendant of con
sumption of the lungs, inasmrch as per-
o have died, and on e~xami-ation a
large portion of the lungs were found to
have decayed away, and yet these same
persons were never noticed to have
had a cough, or observed it themselves,
until within a few days of death. But
such instances are rare and a habitual
cough on getting up and on going to
bed may DO safely set down as indicat-
ing consumption begun.
Cough, as just stated, is originally a
curative process-the means which ma
ture uses to rid the body Of that which
offends, of that which is foreign to the
system, and ought to be out of it; hence
the folly of using medicines to keep
down the cough. as all cough remedies
sold in the shops mere y do, without
taking means at tho same time for re-
moving that state Of things which
makes cough necessary.

As to the Dalai Lama never dying,
yet being successfully buried and born
anew, he is installed in Poto La, so YER
liable an infant that his mother neces-
sarily accompanies him in order to
suckie him, but, being debarred from
the sacred promises Of Poto La on ac-
count of her sex, she is lodged in the
vicinity at Shyo, and is permitted to
visit her son between the hours of o q.
m. and 4 p. m.
Whatever accomplishments he may
acquire the Dalai Lama need never ex-
hibit them, for he is taught 10 be chary
Of speech, and, indeed, necessity com
pels this course, since his worshipers
are in thousands, and II Is only to those
who are wealthy or Of high degree that
he can afford to address oven a brief
sentence or two. This is always done
in a deep, hoarse voice, acquired by

priesthood-that is, red and yellow, and
with bare arms, required of all Buddhist
priests, and holds a rod, from the end
OF which hang strips of silk, white, red,
yellow, green, and blue.
The pilgrim coming in at the en-
trance door advances with folded hands
as if in prayer, and, resting his head
against the edge OF the platform above
HIM, mentally and hastily repeats the
petitions he would have granted.
These unuttered prayers the lalai
Lama is understood to comprehend in
tuitiyely. He touches the pilgrims
head with the bunch Of silk in token of
his blessing, and the w%orshiper is hur-
ried out at the exit door by attendants,
only too happy if he has passed say half
a minute in the vicinity Of the great
priest. This is tho common procedure.

A couch on whIch chrI.l Lay.


A stone has been found In the ruins
of a Christian church at ~1latea, Greece.
by a member Of the Eoole Franchise of
Athens, on which is a Greek inscript on
setting forth hal it cam from lana
In Galilee, where n Lord jesus Christ
turned the water into wine" Another
partially preserved inscription shows the
name Antoninus. The itinerary of
Antoninus Of P~iacenza, who visited
Galilee in the sixth century, mentions
the couch on which Jesus lay during
the marriage at Cana, and says that he
rested on it him eli, and wrote his
unworthy" name and that of his par
ents upon it. The stone appears to be
the very accubitns on which Anto-
minus inscribed his name, the theory
being that the stone couch was first re-
moved to Byzantium for safety during
some invasion and thence was brought
to Elatea by one of the Latin princes
who ruled in Greece.
