location of the Office last week, and
Il general row has been the conse-

How He Succeeded In PrussianIxine the
German EmDiro. *:s#z7 3@ @zz#sss

How He SuCcooded In Prussianixing the
German Empire.
Tho world has been accustomed to re.
gard tho German people as slow and
heavy race. There was certain
amount Of truth in ascribing to them
these characteristics as long as the
BNad, with the predominant inf uence
OF Austria and the minor states, repre-.
sented the majority of the nation. But
to the Prussians these epithets could
never have been applied Justly. They
are an energetic, active and plucky
lace. Bismarck understood from the
beginning of his career these
their excellent qualities by which
they surpassed their Gerna1
brothers, and when he had secured
for his country the hegemony of Ger
many, he devised the means of impress'
ing these characteristics upon the peo.
pie Of other states. The general intro.
duction OF the Prussian military syy
tenn, measure which he established
as one OF the fundamental principles o1
the constitution, proffered the best op.
portunity for influencing non-Prussians.
However opposed we may be to mill
tarism, soldier life in Prussia and the
present Germany has its two sides. II
is not merely camp life, and is, on
tho whole, not given to idleness
and indulgence, dissipation and
vice. but rather to practices which en-
gender habits of activity, endurance
energy and moral courage. The sol
diers are not simply drilled in the ART
OF handling guns and swords and OF
marching in rank and file, but they re-
ceive a general education in all those
spheres in which every man ought tt
acquire certain grade of intelligence
Civil life in Germany does not proffel
the same instructive influences which
it wields in other countries, and espe
cially in republic. The army, il
which the majority of the people
meet on common ground, and in which
the uneducated come in close cont ac
with the educated, has been means o
raising the intellectual standard of the
masses. The German soldier, as rule

more valuable citizen than he would be
without military discipline. He be-
comes q more intelligent and conse
quently more efficient member of thu
community; and, above all, he gains il
the army the feeling that he does MOI
belong simply to a particular small
state, but to greater father
land, common to all. Thus tn,
expenses incurred for maintaining thi
large body of men offer another com
pensation besides securing the safet!
of a nation ever threatened by its neigh
bors. What centuries had not been able
to create, namely, wider and highe
enthusiasm and patriotism for the
whole German land. Bismarck's policy
effected within eight years.; for all con
federate states rose like one man il
the Franco-Prussian war of 1901, and
the south followed their example,

STATUE OF BUDDHA.

Tho Interesting Treasure In Possession Of
New York Editor.
Editor Moses Oppenheimer OF the
Emigrant German weekly in New
York, has a little wooden image which
he says is genuine statue of Buddha.
Its history as told by NJ. Oppenheimr
Or is:
IAN Alsatian traveller, while on the
Island of Ceylon, about ten years ago,
entered one of the many temples Of
Buddhism there and secured statue Of
Buddha. It stood in niche in a some-
what obscure corner OF the temple, and
at favorable opportunity, when the at
tendants were not looking, the Alsatian
quickly removed the statuette from its
resting place and concealed it beneath
the folds of his coat. The larceny was
committed at the peril of the travellers
life. Had detection followed, the Al
satan would have been put to death in
. caldron of boiling oil, that being the
penalty for the mutilation or surrepti-
tious removal of Buddhist idols.
The Alsatian, however. escaped,
and subsequently presented the idol,
together with other curiosities Of
Asiatic origin, to his sister, a Mrs. s.
Friedemann, then living in Zurich,
Switzerland. From the Friedemann fam
lily it passed into my hands. During
the five years that have had the
statuette have submitted it to a, num-
Der of antiquarians, who have pro-
nounced it q genuine bit of ancient
Oriental carving, and have expressed no
doubt of its Buddhist origin.
sit Is about fifteen inches high and is
carved from sandal-wood principally.
William 9. Judge, editor Of Path, and
president Of the Theosophists' Society,
has examined it and says it represents
Buddha in posture of contemplation
under the bo tree, on q pedestal formed
by the glistening green coils Of large
snake. This is symbolical Of the sub
jugation of the principle Of evil. In
some Of the Buddhist temples statues
OF the idol represent him sitting cross
legged, with his palms conveniently
open, containing many coins, and await
ing such additional aims as the natives
and believers may bestow. y
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll has seen
Editor oppenheimer's Bnddha and is
willing to accept it as the genuine
article, although he doesn't take any
stock in Buddhism. Thu secretary OF
the Astor, Library is another who has
seen the idol and pronounced It genuine.
