THE LITERATURE OF THIBET.
All tho Books of the Country Are of a Re-
liRiOus Nature.

All tho Books of the Country Are of a Re-
ligious Nature.
Thibetan literature is chiefly Budd-
of Thibet, Lhasa, f''the seat of the
gods,'') is indeed the Rome of Bud
dhism, and In no other country does that
religion attract higher patronage, and
nowhere else is its philosophy more ar
IDENTIFY studied. Nevertheless, the whole
of the inhabitants are not Buddhists.
A considerable numb Der of the people,
estimated at one-fifteenth of the entire
population, cling to the ancient faith of
Thibet, the Bon religion. Now the
Roa-pa, as they are styled, have books
of their own, and their works are
alleged to be directly opposed to
Buddhism. Casual inquiry, how
ever, goes to show that the Bon
writings, though belonging to system
which existed long previous to Bud
dhism, are in their philosophy, Which
arose after Buddhism. mere limitations
of that propounded by the later cult.
Certain ii;;ttla tractates, however, exist
which deal with specified necromantlc
rites quite ppconnected with Buddhism;
as, for instance, the cleansing of the
hearth from pollution when milk has
boiled over upon it, the offering of hogs,
etc. Yet we shall be scarcely wrong in
averring generally thas, 40 matter what
the branch Of knowledge treated of,
whether it be mathematics, medicine or
grammar, it is in Thibetan book
placed on a Buddhist basis. Thus it
may be said that in Thibet every book is
q religious book. 1t follows that the
vast stores OF works. existing in that
land derive their chief Importance from
their portrayal of the minutia and in
tricate philosophy of Buddhism, both
ancient and modern.
The literature of Thibet may be con.
veniently divided into two great de-
partments. One-comprising all the
more ancient writings consists wholly
of translated works, the majority of
which are faithful renderings of SAM
skirt classics. but many others, of per-
haps later date are translations from
the Chinese. Some of these Sanskrit
importations were not brought into Thi-
bet until the eleventh and twelfth CEN
turtles A. D., and in those cases where

HOW LONG no sLEEp.
Some Instances of Persons Almost

Some Instances of Persons Almost En-
tirely Dispensing With Sleep.
How much sleep is necessary to re-
new the exhausted energies of the brain
and fit it perfectly for work must be
determined by individual experience;
but a. to children. it is safe to say they
ought to be indulged to the extent of
their inclinations. They require more
eleep than adults; and old people, if
their slumbers are sound. incline to
sleep at shorter intervals than persons
in the prime of life. The difference in
individuals in this respect is very great.
DR.. Gooch mentions a man who sleeps
only fifteen minutes a day, and yet en-
Joys perfect health. Blaine, in his
medical Logic, speaks of some mission
aries in China who reduced their sleep to
a minimum that they might pursue
their labors with the least possible in
terruption.
When forced to rest they threw them
selves on couch, with brass ball in
hand over brass basin. The moment
they lost consciousness, the ball drop
ped from the. fingers and, ringing on
their basin. woke them; and this sleep
Seneca declares that Macenus passed
three years without sleeping a single
hour; and Boerhaave says that he has
passed six weeks at one time without
sleep.
Blaine was informed by General
Pichegru that during his active cam
paign in Holland he never for single
year slept more than one hour in twen-
ty-four; and the same is related of
Charles XII.s of Sweden, during his
wonderful career. Jeremy Taylor, dur
ing part of his life, slept only three or
four in the twenty-four; and Napoleon
slept only four or five hours in the
twenty-four during his military career;
but he was able to fall asleep at any
time in the midst of his work when he
felt drowsy.
John Hunter, the great surgeon, slept
four hours at night and one after din
ner. Sir John Sinclair gives the history
Of a man, who had reached the adj
vanced age of ninety-one, and all his
life had slept but four hours in twenty
four.
Sir Walter Scott said that he was not
entirely himself until he had passed
seven hours in total Inconsistencies.
Southey required ten hours, going to
bed at ten and rising at eight. Sir
William Jones laid down the rule of

A COMPARISON.

European Compared With American Cities
"A Stalwart Yeomanry the True Bull
Wark Of . Nation.
Russia in Europe, with an area two
thirds of our own, a greater population
and an ancient settlement has only
four cities of 200, 900 inhabitants or over,
while we have sixteen. Germany, with
$50 inhabitants to the square mile
against our twenty-one to the square
mile. has only eight cities of 20O 900 in
habitants or over, and France, with an
almost equal density of population, has
but four such cities. No European coun-
try has more than one city of million in
habitants or over. We have three. In
fact all Europe with her 4o0, 900, 900 peo-
pie, has but four cities of million in
habitants or upwards, while with only
os, 000, 900 inhabitants we fall but ono
behind.
A stalwart yeomanry is the true bull
wark of nation. 1t has been shown
again and again in history that the
masses eft people in great cities are vol
ati1e and unstable, lacking in patriot
ism and unfit to support wise and pure
government. The city may be the best
T.
of nnsele and brain are almost invari-
ably furnished by the country. The
source Of supply should be maintained
as large as possible. We should con-
sumo the interest only and not draw
upon our capital. If the country is
drained to populate the cities decay is
sure to set In.
The only method by which this con-
dition can be remedied is to place the
occupation of the farmer on an equal
footing with all others. Grant to agri-
culture the same privileges and benefits
that are given 10 manufacturers, banks,
railroads and all the great factors which
enter into production and distribution.
When this is done, and the farmer has
his rights, the country will retain its
people and the cities viii not be crowd
ed as they are at present The teaehy
ipgs and doctrine of the alliance will
point to a Rolution of this problem, and
should meet with the hearty support of
every one who has the best interests of
the nation ct heaFt.-National Econ

A NEW SOCIETY FAD.
Personal Letters Are written" on a Type


Personal Letters Are written" on a Type
writer Now.
One of the latest fads among society
women is the typewriting of personal let
ters. The paper used is of a delicate
tint-violet, cream or lemon-and the
mixed ribbon may be of red, purple,
black or blue, as fancy dictates. An
old English form of type has been in
vented for the use of these society nov
city leaders. The letters, after being
written, are laid away for an hour or
two in a daintily-lined box of sachet
powder of exquisite perfume, the aim
being to do away with the oily odor
that might cling to the missive.
What do you think of the fad?" asked
q reporter of successful typewriter.
swell, it doesn't NATTER was the an
swer of the bright and industrious little
woman, whether personal or love let
tiers would look better in ones own
handwriting or not; if the fashion in
clines to typewriter correspondence,
the ladies will indulge in it at whatever
expense. certainly think nothing
moves ones memory, when looking
over happy "reminiscences, pen-talks
with q school friend, lover or parent,
more than the individual handwriting.
But then, looking at it In another light,
you can read letters that are type
written much more plainly, and one is
apt to write longer letter when die
tating, rs In this case only the mind is
taxed, whereas in writing both mind
aud muscle are brought into action
''How about the machines themselves?
Do the dealers provide ornamented ones
for this new class of patrons?"
"Oh, yes When the manufacturers

Personal Note by Editor.

We have travelled few miles in our lifetime
and know what it is to be uncomfortably
housed in u poorly upholstered car and rudely
tossed up and down on old iron rails that are
laid on dirt road bed. We have been there;
but it was always on other roads than the
Santa Fe. Their main line between Chicago
and Denver is hard to beat. The rails are of
heavy steel, the track smooth and rock bal
lasted; and the through "CannonbalP' train
that flies at a 50-mile per hour speed over this
elegant roadway is as pretty bit of work
manship as Messrs. Pullman ever turned out
Each vestIbule sleeper is model of luxury,
and as easy as a cradle. Chair cars, library
cars, and day coaches are all carefully adapted
TO the travellers every want. The Santa Fe is
rightly named 1.-The most comfortable line."

PARlNe APPLEs.

An autumn sunlight gilds her soft white hair,
And hghtens DER her visage mild and sweet;
Through floating vineleayes falling on her there
And spreading all the floor around her feet.
Red early apples heap an ancient bowl
Leaned deeply In her lap. Bright parinRs
glide
Between her frail deft fingers as they roll
The fruit with dark blade ct its pearly side.
Sweet sweet, its fresh rare smell
From orchard shade and sun,
And grasses where It fell
When its growth was donel
Now her dropped face is all quiet dream,
Drinking the fragrance Of her pleasant toll /;
Dropping from other boughs these apples seem
or olden orchard in another soil.
Each quaint and homely name Is in her heart,
Their SAVIOR hue, and how they used o grow
And when they ripened, In what orchard part,
The sweet old apples Of the Long Ago.
Sweet sweet Hesperides
No fairer fruit could show,
All, none so dear as these
Apples OF Long AgoI

IngersolI on California.

Mr. Ingersoll says: The climate of south
ern California in winter closely resembles that
of Egypt. Its equabIlity il constant, and it's
dryness is proverDial. The only complaint
made Is, that it is too nearly Perfect. Resi-
dents bred in the eastern states confess now
and then that a rousing storm would give
them grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from supert1uity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the invalid
dreading the advance of disease the still and
arid atmospheric is as the breath of life
