BUDDHISM IN PARIS.

1t Has $4,000 Disciples and Its Feature 10
Fanaticism.
It was recently stated that extraordinary
progress was being made by Buddhist doc-
trines in Vienna and other towns of Central
Europe, says the London Telegraph. It is
now said that q decided move in this
direction is taking place in Paris. This
phenomenon is probably to be accounted
for by the fdct that people who have dis
carded Christianity find themselves unable
to get on after time without some kind OF
religion or philosophy. and SO turn their at
tention to any new thing in hope of filling
up the vacuum. NJ. Leon De Rosny, one of
the most popular of the Sorbonne profess
ors has been lecturing recently on Bud
dhism, and he says he could never have
imagined that it could have taken root in
France as it has done. He is of opinion
that the growing favor in which it is held
conflict with modern science, it really
contains the principles of the truths e1-
pounded by our savants. Its disciples
are most enthusiastic, and herein lies a
danger. for they compllcate Buddha's pure
philosophy with q variety of supernatural
notism and other uncanny practices in the
forefront of which ''magic' may be placed;
but NJ. Leon de Rosny declares that the
leaders Of the movement deplore this di.
version, which is at variance with Bud.

are stone benches on which the laborers
take their midday siesta and sleep at night;
These swarm with vermin; are flthier and
more deeolate than any prison known to
man; and stand unrelieved by vine, shrub
of stone against blue Italian sky.
Five other characteristic features of
southern italian pastoral scenery suggest,
as with the "massarie," human activities
and contiguity to human habitations, on ~
Italian country scenes. These are the
"aja," or raised earthen or stone thresh-
ing floor, shaped like followed trun-
Gated cone, where the grain is trod
out by blindfolded oxen; the cister-
ma, or cistern, for collecting rain-water for
drought-huge structures sunken fully ten
feet beneath the surface, with exposed walls
as high as ones head, averaging 80 feet in
width and 200 in length. with an ancient
windlass in the peak of one end Of the low
vide fields lie endless barbados; the "cas-
selle," mortarless circular huts Of stone,
surmounted by rude crosses, in which the
field guards and watchers find shelter, re-
calling the ghostly sentry-houses among the
bleach greens in the north of Ireland; and
the "traturo, "a broad, grass grown highway,
which for 1900 years has served in different
localities, like the vast stock trails leading
from grass to grass when western herds
are driven northward, for the yearly exodus
of Apulian herds to mountain summer pas
ture.
But where do these one to two million
peasants Of southern Italy live, if the coun-
try possesses no cabins on the hillsides, no
nesting farm houses in the valleys? Every
one Of them in towns and cities. l can
show you fifty cities in Italy, below Naples,
with populations varying from 10000 to
25,OO0, and, think fully $50 towns and
small cities containing each from 500 to
5000 souls. There will not as many single
persons live between these places as there
will average thousands in each. In ancient
times all this country was subject to scourg-
ing depredations by the Saracens, to an ex-
tent requiring that people should herd to-
gether in small towns for protection of life
and property. The serfdom Of those days
is practically unchanged. The nobility and
landed aristocracy still own every rood of
command, under slightly different vassal-
age, the apathetic peasants who till and
tend. The latter exist within these walled
cities in houses insufferable to animals in
America. This is why, startled from your
sleep before the break of day by what you
fancy must be an army marching beneath
your window, on Fastening to the balcony
LOCO, in another, 5000, and in another, as
women and children, with herds and flocks
containing five times their number, vending
their way to the mountain pastures and
fields. And, again. in the gray Of the soft
italian twilight, as the sad army of reward
less toll drags it, weary way back into the
walled and reeking city, your heart bleeds
at the sodden hopelessness of it all, while
you thank the God above for the American
birthright you own, know and love.

Vienna Statistics.

The city government of Vienna publishes
annually fat book full of statistics con-
corning about everything in the municipal
ity that can be figured on. The volume for
1888, which has just appeared, contains 800
pages and few interesting details as to
the life and habits of the Viennese. The
number of houses was increased by 2S0 to
1891 in 1883, although unusually many
fats and villas on the outskirts were vacant
throughout the year. There were 1850
legitimate and 1,5OO illegitimate births in
the city. In consequence of the raising of the
prices Of cigars by the government, 2,0OO, 900
fewer were smoked than in 1887. The
Viennese get even with the state, however,
by smoking cigarettes, the consumption of
which was increased by 24,OOO,0OO. Two
hundred and ninety-six citizens left the
Roman Catholic church and 267 the Jewish
church. Sixty adopted the Jewish faith
and 100 cut loose from religion altogether.

result, which is n most gratifying one,
is now given to the public.
No town in Virginia, nor indeed in

due to Il steady, constant and perlna-
