Buddhist temple, where, in wonderfully
rich shrine, one of Gautamas teeth IS
kept. This is one Of the treasures of the

writings show him quite as deeply i'm

him We Of the west claim 10 be the Lord.
One cannot talk with the intelligent peo-
pie at this temple without being impressed
with the fact that their creed rests with
them upon enlightened faith, and not
upon blind superstition. The priests. too,
wear an expression Of calm dignity ut

During the late violent storms in the
English channel the sea washed through
q high and hard sandbank near St Malo,
almost fonr meters thick. laying bare a
portion Of an ancient forest. which was
already passing into the condition of coal.
The London Times says: This forest at
the beginning OF our era covered an ex.
tensiye tract Of the coast, but with the
sinking of the land it became submerged
and covered up by the drifting sand Mont
Saint Michel once stood in the middle Of
it. The forest had quite disappeared by
the middle of the Tenth century DC.
casionally, at very low tides after storms,
remains of it are disclosed, just as at

twelve meters above the level of the

THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME

The wheels OF the world go round and round,
In the press Of busy throng

And night with its vesper song:
The tides arr out and the tides are In
Like the sea IN its ebb and flow
for there's always one 10 stay at home
Where there Is one 10 go.
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There X rush OF hurrying feet,
The sparks fly out from the wheels Of time
To brighten the bitter and sweet:
But apart from the beaten road and path.
Where the pulse OF earth runs slow,
There is always one 10 stay at home
Where there Is one to go.
over and over good bys are said
In tests that die with the day,
When eyes are wet that cannot forget,
And smiles have faded away:
Smiles that are worn as over grave
Flowers will blossom and blow.
For there's always one 10 stay at home
Where there is one 10 go.
Always one for the little tasks
OF dag that IS never done;
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone.
And he who fights on the worlds broad field,
With banner and blast and drum
Little dreams Of battle gained
