How to Avoid Much OF the Hard Work In
cident to Outings.
OF course no one really wants to 90
on basket picnic, but then we go Just
the same, and come home vowing it
shall be the last one we ever attend.
Perhaps, after all, most of the good
time is the getting ready to go-the
planning for some one else's comfort
and the arranging of the vast quantities
OF good tn ings OF which the most ether
cal looking girls will consume such
quantities. Three or four boxes of
sandwiches to one cake is the right pro-
portion for a picnic. If you are where
you can get potted meats. which are put
up in small tin cans and in great vari-
ETY., such as ham, tongue, beef, chicken,
turkey, etc, you will find them exceed
ingly nice, very inexpensive. and they
will save you great deal Of trouble, as
all meats for sandwiches should be
chopped as fine as possible. Hard
boiled eggs, minced fine and worked to
paste, with butter. pepper and salt,
makes an acceptable sandwich Sardines
and canned salmon are also nice, If the
bones and skin are taken out and the
fish minced fine and rubbed to a paste
with lemon juice and cayenne pepper;
but hsh sandwiches should have box
to themselves and not be packed with
any other kind, to which they would
surely give an unpleasant flavor Nor
should sandwiches of any kind be
packed with cake or any thing else.
Lemons can be squeezed at home, the
juice mixed with its right proportion

lemon) and poured in bottle is much
easier than carrying lemons. ETC., sepa-
rately. Pack all in pasteboard boxes,
which can be thrown away, and the
practical part of p;cknicking will be
made tri1e easier, but after all one al
ways feel conscious in her inmost soul
OF wasted energy unless it is done
strictly in the way of a penance.-Chi-

REVIVAL OF BUDDHISM.
The Last Flicker of an Expiring Flame or
the Iseginning of q New Life.
A few years ago the magazines were
full OF Buddhism; and every young lady
who made any pretensions to the higher
culture was prepared to admire ''such a
OcoublAu1 EellRIOH anu so Ike OnrlSGlan-
ity." But the height of this is already
past and it is safe to predict a further
decline of the popular interest in the
subject not only because fashions
change, but for the more just reason
that part of the claims of Buddhism are
found to have rested ON imperfect
knowledge.
The early European students of Buddh-
ism were not, as rule, well acquainted
with either Sanscrit or Buddhism. This
applies to almost all those by whom the
southern Rrahman sm was investigated
Hence, those who poppisrized in Europe
the results of these mems labors were
led to treat Buddhism too much by it
self. 1t was for them and for their
readers unique phenomenon.
The degree of its dependence on
previous thought a4d custom was under
rated. and its debt to the geuins and
foresight of its founders was oVeFesN=
mated OF late years the case has been
different
