a Protest Against the Tendency OF People
to Surrender Activity.
In every human being we have tho
successive phases of growth, maturity
and decadence of the powers OF tho
body. Older writer's divided the differ.
ent ages of man after the following
manner: Infancy, including the frs,
five years of age; youth, from five to
twenty-five; adult age, extending from
twenty-five to tbirty-tive; middle life to
fifty; old age to the sixtieth year, after
which the individual entered upon ex-
treme old age. From this physiologi-
cal division of life into its various eras
has arisen tendency to an arbitrary
regulation of the affairs of life, which
tends to lessen the sum total of work
accomplished and results in detriment
to the individual.
1t is within the memory OF not few
of us when public opinion put cap and
spectacles on woman and knitting in
her hands and retired her to corner
by the fireside as soon MS she had won
the honorable title of "grandmother. "
Mothers who have been kept from
intellectual enjoyments because of the
care of large families should, when the
young birds have flown from the nest
and left them with lonely leisure,
turn their thought to the acquaintance
of languages, the study OF art, history,
science or literature. II will seem
strange to those who have not kept up
the habit Of study after leaving school
to begin again, but after a little perse-
verance there will come greater in
terest and delight than that experienced
in the careless school days, when study
was only accomplished because every
oly else studied and it was matter
Of routine. The life OF the mind is not
to be measured by years. Time is a
false standard OF measure for it,
A grief which comes upon one in n
moment will contain the crushing ago
ny of centuries. One week for one per-
son is crowded with experiences which
would not come to another were he to
live cycles of centuries. Ask the soul
its record OF events, find out its gamut OF
feeling, and you will know whether its
possessor is in youth, adult life, middle
aged or old and decrepit IT is within
the power Of every one to keep tho
mind'young and active; the law OF evo'
luton is applicable to 1t, but the law OF
dissolution will not so surely hold sway
unless you continually say ''too old, too
DID," and consent that
The soul shall have her earthly freight
And custom lie upon II with weight

President Harrisons appearance Was the sig
nal for an outburst Of applause and clappinz OF
hands, which was kept up all along tho line os

was made through the dense thrmg and Presi-
dent Harrison, stopping at frequent intervals
TO allow those ahead OF him to force their way,

and partly back again 10 the upper rooms.
Here the Vice president caught up with mo

later the whole party came out again and we're

Before retiring to their rooms the President
and Vice President, at the request OF General
McCammon, came to the railing OF the balcony
overlooking the ballroom, and for several min

brief reception was then held, and at II 80
o'clock the Presidential and Vice-Presidentlai
party, escorted by the Reception Committee,
left the building. Cheers greeted them inces-
sanity as they descended the stairs and walked
out Of the ballroom.

BUDDHAIN GOTHAM.
American Followers of Confucus VIII
Believe in Transmigration.


About fifteen years ago Wong Chin
Foo, the Buddhist priest, came to this
country from China on strange mis-
sion.
He announced that as the Christian
lied world has been for many years
sending missionaries to his country to
teach his people their religion, he
thought it no more than fair that they
should respond by enlightening the
people on this side of the world re-
garding their faith. Whereupon he
proceeded to cxpound the religion of
Buddha, which he claimed was taught
by Confucius many centuries before
the era of what we call Christianity
Wong Chin Foo was graceful
speaker and managed to evolve some
very clever arguments. He travelled
from one end of the country to the 9TH
er, finally making his headquarters in
New York.
Meantime other opponents of the
Buddhist faith have risen and clubs
have been formed throughout the city
of people who call themselves Theo-
sophists. But the articles of their faith
and that taught by Confucius are al
most identical.
Their meetings are usually on week
day evenings at some private dwelling,
as they have no places especially set
apart for their classes
A popularity of this belief is 'im-
pressions" For instance, one of their
clubs was in the habit of meeting at
the home of lady who lives in an old
house on Thirty-fourth street and who
always has number of people in her
family. A change was made to new
house on Seventy-ninth street
The reason assigned was that the
impression" of all the people who had
lived in that house and who were pres
ent there day by day made such confu-
sion 10 the spiritual senses that very
much of the profit OF their meeting was
lost.
Some OF them eschew flesh as an ar
ticle of diet.
Most of the Theosophists believe in
the theory of reincarnation and many
of them believe in transmigration.
Those OF the latter class hold that one
of the punishments for sin is being
condemned to pass lifetime inhabit-
ing the body of lower order of ami
NAL life.
Some of them have a very comfort
able belief that the things we miss in
this life will be made up TO us in that
which is to follow.
Followers OF the faith claim that
race of beings may be produced with
such high spiritual sense, such freedom
from all that is earthly, that the world
and the people in it may be entirely
cleansed from sin.
1t will be upon the principal of evo-
luton, they say, a process which has
been going on since the world began.
And in proof of their theory they COM
pare tho intelligent, highly cultivated
men and women OF to-day with the hui
man beings who existed in prehistoric
times, who with prehensile jaw and
lavenous instinct tore the raw flesh OF
animals, and had no other senses save
that OF the coarsest animal desire.-N
