 Some of these hrigands or klefts, as they are called, are men of prodigious strength, small in waist, but 1.-the, wiry, and muscular to degree. heard of one kleft, chieftain, who when seated on the ground by the campfire would stretch out his arm and order one of his men to step on the open palm. Thus he wonld hold him a few seconds at arms-length, and then gradually lift and toss him for ward like an orange. The klefts are almost invariably Creeks; occa- sionally Maltese or an Italian is found among them. But they are all Christians, and good Christians at that. They fast with the utmost strictness in Lent and on fast days. X drop of human blood from a victim squirting on their lips on fast day would give them severe twinges of the conscience From time to time they go carefully disguised to church and confess with the solemnity of crusaders engaged in fighting for the holy sepulcher To- ward Mohammedans they exhibit especial horror. They do not even con- descend to take paramours from the hated followers of the prophet.
 But while we are discussing the vir- tues and habits of the Lcvantine bri- gand our captive In the mountains has been smoking innumerable cigarettes of Stamboulec tobacco in or1ar to soothe his growing impatience. As the time approached when the messenger with the ransom was expected great restlessness and intense watchfulness was exhibited by the troops The chief detailed two brawny fellows to guard the prisoner, knife in hand, with orders to stab him to the heart at the first sign of an attempt at rescue. At various pre- concerted points other brigands were distributed to guide the messenger with the money to their hiding place When he arrived with his well-laden donkey at the first point he made signal as directed; this was answered by a return signal from behind a rock and and an order tc proceed in certain direction until he heard sheep bleat three times. On hearing that signal the messenger stopped, made a prearranged reply, and was directed to go on until he should hear the cawing of crow, thrice repeated; he would then receive further directions. In this mysterious manner the messenger finally arrived in the presence of the robber chieftain himself, who was holding cooked re- volver in his hand, alertness in his mien, and a quick, fierce, yet anxious, look in his eye, us if suspicious of treachery.

The Hottest Place on Earth.

George Fuller of San Francisco, who Is at the Auditorium, recently visited the hottest place on earth, five taken a look at Death valley, he said, located in southeastern California Without doubt this is the warmest spot in this world The only compet- itor is on the shores of the Persian gulf, and 1t IS only FPS degrees Fahren heit there. The highest temperature recorded in the Sahara is 12T, but a thermometer placed in the shade in Death valley registers 130 degrees Once the valley was q lake of water containing Tn solution common soda, salt and borax. Above the marsh there IS crust of common salt ten inches thick. The borax deposited there Is the richest in the world. and no doubt it will be purchased and shipped to market before long. The conditions of the place prevent ram fall, and those who go into the valley have to bring water supplies. Witkn the last few monthseseveral English men have visited the valley, and 1t is reported that 1t will be bought by a foreign syndicate and the borax brought into commerce. There $ money in it."

A BUDDHIST REVIVAL.
over 500,O00. 900 Believers on the
 Face of the Earth,

The Buddhist congress soon to De held in Paris, says letter from Paris to the New York World, attracts atten- ton to this remarkable religion. The congress is to have the importance of the great ecumenical council convoked by Plus TX. twenty years ago. Bud dhiSt delegates are to come from all parts of the world. and intense is the interest manifested in Paris.
 Five hundred million people on this globe are Buddhists, and, although Buddhism in Europe is confined to great minds, in France alone there are about o,oo0 Buddhists. It is not gen erallv known that Richard Wagner was a fervent Buddhist. But the European thinkers do not practice the doctrine of Buddhism. That is why the young Niennese student Udo Halsmeyer has caused such consternatiou in the church. He is aseetic, lasts, or eats only fruits and vegetables, envelops himself in a hempen bag, and already treats with indifference physical suffer ing. Continuing in this manner he would soon be the incarnation of Buddha, and the authorities talk of ex- pulsion from the university for fear of his influence on the other students. The practice of Buddhism cultivates a sixth sense that in non-believers is la tent. By this sense is foretold good or bad fortune and the meditation that calls out this sense is always physical, phscyological, and physiological. Physically the body must obey the mind, psychologically all human organic forces must be concentrated on this sixth sense intuition, and physiolo- gically respiration must be regulated to control the expenditure of vital force. As soon as this sixth sense is acquired the Buddhiists are capable of knowing natures secrets and of pro- ducing phenomena that seem super natural, but are in reality the mani festation of forces very natural but not yet understood.
 Buddhism respects everything that has life, and Buddhists believe in rein carnation, not in metempsychosis.
 The Buddhist believe that if rich man sin after death he enjoys certain repose to repay him for the sutferings in this life, but obliged to return on this or another planet, where his spirit enters the body of some miserable per son, and the more guilty he has been in the previous existence the less chance he has in this In the same way person who has led righteous life in previous existence is in this re incarna ted in the body of a rich person
 Morally and intellectually Buddha surpassed all men, and his name means illuminated, or perfect wisdom. Who can tell? Perhaps Parisians, enervated by the struggle of modern existence will look with longing toward the fas- cinating delights of Nirvana and adop, religion taught by the sage of Kapila- wastu many, many centuries before the Christian era.

change kisses before receiving the com munion lin token of. good fell lowship. Perhaps the practice was too simple and Acadian for our latter days, or the moral degeneracy" of the age is too great, but certainly the kissing church was far from be- coming glittering success. The re- turn to primeval simplicity was not productive of good results in either a religious or moral sense. Scandalous tongues began to wag against the de- vout brothers and sisters, and finally the bottom fell out of the entire ex- pertinent.
 Man is the only animal that knows how to kiss.
 Observe the lower animals. They are fond of each other; they vouchsafe tokens of affection. The cat and the dog lick with their tongues, so does the bear fondle her cubs. The horse and the COW rub their aoses, birds rub their beals together, perhaps the nearest ap- proaeh to animal kissing, but for man, and man alone, is reserved the noble achievement of osculation.
 Man is also something higher than an animal, so it is rational to infer that kissing be longs to the nobler part of his nature.
 It has been said that every tribe of people found anywhere have been ad- dicted to the habit, It is not so. Some of the tribes lowest in the scale know nothing about this token of affection. They rub noses, crook fingers, and even pull ears, but do not kiss. It may eX- prass just as much, but few of us would be willing to try it. The Esquimaux indicate affection by rubbing noses. Who will deny the predominating ami nal nature of this people? In Africa kissing is practically unknown. A gay Lothario of an African traveller who still lives to tell the tale (when his wife is out once tried to kiss a pretty young native, and the dusly damsel fled in horror, thinking he meant to eat her.
 The ancient Hebrews apparently re- dueed kissing tQ an exact science. They gave it nomenclature. The kiss of friends was called osculum, the kiss of love. sauvium. and the detective kiss precisely the same as that by which Mrs. Blank ascertains whether or not | Mir. Blank has been drinling-was called basium. Then they also had the l kiss of homage, of reconciliation, oi 1 welcome, of subiection, of sorrow, o1 idolatrous worship, of gratitude, ot 1 peace, and of valediction.

incense in Drawing-Rooms.

If on entering fashionable drawing room faint, spicy, fragrant odor is perceived look around for some old swinging vessel and know that it is an incense burner and the perfumed air .s charged from it's depths. Most of the incepse used in drawing is the Chinese sort, which comes in sticks. Some housekeepers, however, affect the Algerian, the real, churchy sort, and one almost looks, on catching it's altar flavor, for robed acolytes and chanting priests The Chinese un- doubtedly is to be preferred for pure worldly use, as it's aroma is not so distinctively religious. Any incense burning in private houses, simply for effect, must be set down as caprice in questionable taste.--New York Times.

 Tie oldest kissing story is probably that of the Hindoo herdsman who was walking along the road with an iron kettle on his back, a live goose in ono hand, and in the other cane and Q rope by which he was leading goat. Presently woman joined him, and they walked along together until they reached dark ravine, when she shranlx back, declaring he might kiss her by force there in the dark.
