The bible of the Buddhists.

The bible of the sect is not without
beauty and high moral as well as poetic
conceptions, There is much in it of the
nature of mythology and mysticism,
which Buddhists do not pretend to I'M
derstand themselves, yet there is much
to admire. From book of extracts and
translations from the Buddhist bible I
give few examples:
''fhe perfect man Is like the lily, un-
soiled by the mud in which ii grows. {"
Another: '"The perfect man viii not be
angry with him who brings him evil re-
psrts ct himself, lest he be not able to
judge truthfully of the matter whereof
he IL accused" It's moral code contains
sGeh rules as ''Do not steal;" 'CDo not
he;S 'Do not KILL" "Do not be a drunk
ard" "Do not to another what you
would not wish done to yourself. :"
Prom these examples it may be observed
how nearly their moral law runs parallel
with our own; and that this has exerted
8 potent influence in forming the Chi
nese character is evident. Also, that
they cover the cardinal rules of right
living in good society none will question.
The system offers motives in the way
of rewards for right living and punish
ments ef evil doing. It develops symp-
athy, the source Of many virtues. It
teaches the equality of all men. One
man is better or worse than another
only as he observes the laws of good So
ciety or breaks them.-W. Ct, Benton in
Popular Science.

Am Main Matter Is Coun.ed.

Persons who read the reports of the
number of pieces of mail matter handled
at the New York postofice may have
wondered how the figures were obtained.
The explanation is simple: Every piece
was actually counted. Every employer
who stamps mail matter must keep an
accurate account Of the number of pieces
he handles and must make daily report
OF the amount of work he has done. He
must not only give the grand total, but
tell what part was in each of the four
classes OF mail matter, and also how the
piecer reached the postoffice.
The letters, ETC., are mailed at the
posbofice, in which case they are known
as drops" collected by carriers, arrive
by trains, or, In the case of foreign
matter, are brought by steamers. A
report must be made OF every piece
that comes in by any one of these ways.
When one considers that an average
Of about 100000 letters alone reach the
general postofRce here every day, it will
be seen that the task of counting them
is big one. Let a person count 1,00(
and then try to get some idea Of the
labor involved in keeping record Of
1000 times that many, and his head will
swim at the thought. AS the counting
Is done By number of men, and thu
letters are subdivided into patches, thu
labor is not SO enormous as might a
first be supposed. York Tribune

Our Country Roads.

While the towns and cities are
nal king efforts to secure the benefits
of rapid transit it would seem to be
highly necessary 2nd proper for the
people of tie country-especialIy the
farmers-to turn their attention to
better transit. We have alluded to
this subject before, says the Atlanta
Constitution, but its importance JUS
tifies the hammering we. propose to
give it until public sentiment absorbs
energy enough to start a movement
looking to the building of better
roads.
Governor Hill, OF New York, in n
message to the legislature of 1890,
suggested that the state should pro,
coed to construct through each county
two highways interesting each other
about the middle OF the county, the
roads thus constructed to form a part
of general system. The Governor
Of Alabama, about the same time,
was urging on the legislature of that
state the necessity of good roads
every towship in the state" SAID
Governor Seay. "should have good
schools and good roads, but every
township should build its own roads
and support lis own schools" This
IS good old Democratic doctrine, and
it is sound, but the democratic party
seemed to have slipped by it in some
way. Schools supported by the state
are now the order of the day, and
this being SO thore is no reason why
the state should not take a hand il
the building of good roads, which are
as fundamentally important to the
people as good schools.
Usually there is considerable ex
citement in the section through which
new railroad is to pass. The pcopl,
begin to stir themselves. They no
only donate parcels of land to tn,
railway, but subscribe to the common
stock. In other words, they deliber
ately tax themselves in order to Sc
care the benefits of the new line 0
transit: And yet, to ali intents an,
purposes, the country road is as i'm
portant and as necessary as the roa,
that is built for the iron horse.
There is no reason why the peopl
should notbe as anxious to secure
system oigood country roads as they
are to secure system of railroads. Tn
two systems are independent. Tn
bcnefts of railroad can only be thor
oughly enjoyed by those who are abb
to reach it by means of good publ
roads.
George is no worse off with respec
to her country roads than the major
ity Of the states of the union, yet he
roads are in a desperate condition
during the winter season. As tn
! revolutionary pioneers left them S
! they are now-always heavy an
often impossible. A little extra energ
and little extra expense, to be re
t paid thousand fold, wonId give t
the state a system Of public road
worthy OF the people and OF the az
in which we live.
