in Greece.

A legend of one of Buddha's earliest
pupils tells us that the young man used
to pass the whole rainy season in his
palace surrounded by dancing girls.
Once he saw a bevy of them asleep in
~unbecoming attitudes, and he woke up
and said, This will never do" So he
joined Buddha. Now, a life of heavy
heat, long rainy seasons and unceasing
dancing girls is very well calculated to
bring a man to suicide or to Buddhism.
As far as Buddhism means unselfish
kindness (and it demands a great deal of
that from a true disciple), it is exactly
as good as any other religion which makes
the same requirement.
But as far as it is pedantic, morbid,
puerile and superstitious. busy with
arithmetical strings of propositions, with
austerities, ending in self hypnotism,
with an ideal of universal suicide, it is
difficult to see how the natives of a
temperate climate can acquiesce in the
developed doctrines of Buddhism. Had
Gotama come to Greece and preached at
the Olympic games it is unlikely that he
would have made a single convert

An AnecdOte of Dorothea Dix.

A rural New Jersey member who had
announced in the house that the wants
and sufferings of the insane of the state
'were all humbug," went to the parlor
OF Dorothea Dix to silence her with his
arguments, but was constrained by her
gentle force to listen to hers. At the
end of an hour and a half he moved into
the middle of the room and thus deliv-
cred himself: 'Ma'am, l bid you good
night. do not want. for my part, to
hear anything more: the others can stay
if they want to: l am convinced; you've
conquered me out and out: l shall vote
for the hospital. If you'll come to the
house and talk there as you've done here.
no nan that isn't a brute can stand you,
and SO, when a mans convinced, that's
enough. The Lord bless you" There
upon he took his departure.-Mary S.

Big Paw for Little Work.

The number of accidents which have
befallen the big steamship lines have
been surprisingly few. When mishaps
have occurred large sums have been
awarded for comparatively trivial serv-
ices, such as towing for a day or two.
The neutrality-suspicious. liner Suevia,
from New York to Hamburg, broke her
shaft off the Irish coast on Jan. 81, 1885,
and was lowed into Queenstown harbor
by the tramp steamship ~Istrian, bound
from Boston to Liverpool. The Istrian
was awarded 500. $50 salvage.
The passenger steamship City of Rich
mond, from Liverpool to New York. was
disabled at sea in November. 1882. She
was taken into Halifax harbor by the
tramp steamship Circassia, a service in
volving ifty-four hours of towing. The

obeying I-nstructioas.

When the new apprentice assumed his
duties at the Turkish bath establishment
the manager thought he seemed rather
stupid and entered into a long explana-
ton of what he was to do. He particular
ly emphasized the command that the at
tendant was to rub 'em without mercy"
During the day the manager heard a
great many complaints from his patrons
that they had lost their personal prop
erty. He thought that a sneak thief
must have come in to get washed, and
resolved to be on the look out. He dis
covered nothing. however. though he
peeked around most Of the day like an
amateur detective. hiding in all sorts of
places.
Toward the time when the new attend
ant was to go off duty, the latter went
into the managers Office and began be-
having with much mystery. He walked
around like a wet hen, waiting until the
coast was clear. When there was none
but himself and his chief in the Office he
tiptoed up to the door and locked it.
Then he produced from his pockets five
gold watches, some diamond rings, a few
scarfpins and other articles, which he
set forth with great pride before the
manager, who. horrorstruck, recognized
the effects as belonging to his customers.
You told me to rob 'em without mer-
cy." said the delighted novice, "and l

Like Mothers Cooking.

An enterprising baker advertises
'mince pies like mother used to make
There is something queer about the idea
that ones mother could cook better than
any other woman who ever lived. Each
generation of men, when they reach mid
die life, lauds mothers cooking, and
compares it with his wife's cooking to
her disadvantage. When that mans
boy gets a wife of his own he tells her
what a good cook his mother was, and
SO it goes generation after generation.
Now, according to this theory. the art
of cooking has been steadily deteriorat-
ing, but of course this is not true. Won
der if a boys appetite has not something
to do with the idea that his mother was
the best cook the world ever saw?-St.

Lord Rosebery,s Guest.

In the month Of May. 1889. there war
an evening party in Berkeley square,
and in the early part of the day Lord
Rosebery had met in Piccadilly a Scotch
farmer with whom he had some &C.
quaintance, and he asked his friend to
''look in" in the course of the night.
The farmer duly presented himself in
something that resembled his idea of an
evening dress. All went well until the
Scotchman got into the supper room.
and after eating a variety of delicacies
he lighted on an ice form of
nourishment that was new to him. Hav-
ing taken a large spoonful he managed
to conceal his discomfort. But seeing
his host he thought it his duty to inform
him of what had taken place. Il don't
suppose you know. my lord" he loudly
whispered. but | think | ought to tell
you-there has been a mistake some
where and this pudding's froze."
Lord Rosebery grasped the situation
in a moment. With perfect courtesy
and with a pretty appearance of critical
inquiry, he tasted the ice cream. $50
it is" he said: that's very strange
And then, after speaking to one Of the
servants. he returned and said to the
Scotch farmer: Its all right. | am told
that this is a new kind of pudding they
freeze on purpose" and taking his
friends arm led him out of the room.

MANAGING ENGLISH FARMS.
The Results OF an Intelligent and Capable
Land Owner In England.

Mr.. w. j. Harris gives a most helpful

much Of it was untouched for long peri.

Instead of destroying, the new landlord

his hands was enabled to cut off certain
fields and allot them to cottagers. Small
farms grew up and the larger ones were

closures, for instance-and it was on these
that the value of the system made itself
at once apparent.
Land not valued at more than five
shillings per acre in it's rough state be-
came, when meadow land, worth from
thirty to fifty shillings, and as the cot
tages were in demand the population
increased, and farmers knowing that
labor could always be obtained took the
large farms, reduced though they were.
Wages have risen from ten and eleven
shillings to twelve and fourteen shillings
per week.
Mr.. Harris says he made the mistake
of working his vacant farms with bail
ifs, thinking, as the land was in low
condition, he might do it better than a
tenant. But, as he says, it is the labore1

One secret of the small farmers sue
cess is that n man works on his farm
for no wages at all, and that is the farm
er himself. The small farmers help each
other, and they seldom let a crop stand
too late or get behindhand. as is the fash

outside labor for chronic emergencies.
The harm that a large landowner can dc
by farming meanly is incalculable.-

Old Time "Reviewing."

The first age of the great modern re-
views and magazines was an age of kicks
and rough h%orseplay. Party spirit ran
high under the regency, and literary
criticism, SO far from being the ''disin.
terested" affair which Matthew Arnold
demands, was avowedly run upon polit.
ical lines. Libel suits and challenges
rained upon magazine editors. Jeffrey
and Moore went through the forms of a
duel. The Chaldee manuscript had to be
suppressed in the second edition, and
cost Mr.. Blackwood a thousand pounds
as it was. Aggrieved persons lay in wait
for editors in the street.
Thus enc Mr.. Douglas, of Glasgow who
had been roughly handled in 'Maga,'
came to Edinburgh and horsewhipped
Blackwood. and was in turn beaten by
Blackwood, who had REINFORCED himself
meanwhile with a cudgel and with the
Ettrick Shepherd.-H. A. Beers in Gen.

Badness Among Young PeopIe.

If the unsatisfactory statistics that l
have been able to collect can be relied
on, the proportion of badness in boys
and girls under twenty is about eighty
to seven. As the majority of girls at
the age under consideration wear their
hair loose, " in simple Marguerite"
braids, SO that there is little likelihood
of deception, while ~unwholesome head
gear or other individual practices can
hardly as yet have had time to produce
any material effect upon either sex. we
may regard the differences indicated by
the figures as practically due to the
working of heredity alone.-Mis E. F.

Either the paper itself contains copper or
arsenic or some other injurious matter, or it
has been on the wall so long that it has filled

family. There is no doubt that contagious and
other diseases, including consumption, have
been extensively propagated in this way. Some
old houses have walls with two, and even
three, layers of paper on them. the dirt anu
filth of years being covered up and kept in

worse than the carpet nuisance; for though

A Cure for Snake Bite,

Another treatment for snake bite is
added to the long list of remedies that
have come from many countries. 1t is
said that the natives of Australia have
comparatively little fear of snake bites.
They keep always at hand a piece of
string made of human hair. The string
is tied tightly three or four inches above
the bite, a small circle an eighth of an
inch deep is cut around the two fang
punrtures with a knife, and the largest
vein below the bite is slit to allow the
blood to run out. The last stage Of this
heroic treatment is the turning On of a
stream of water to the affected part and
the rubbing down steadily of the limb
for about twenty minutes -Pittsburg
