The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1893-11-12

There are nuns. in China. They have a
somewhat easier time than nuns in Euro
pean aud American converts do. They be-
long chiefly to the lower classes, the poorer
parents being willing to sell their daugh-
tiers to the service of the convent. The
children thus grow up in the ascetic atmos-
phere and eventually join the order. Poor
widows also frequently solve the self sup
porting problem by entering Il convent.
When the women are merely ~novices, the
fronts of their heads are shaved. When the
novitiate is completed-which cannOt be
until the end of the candidates sixteenth
year-the entire head is shaved. The nun
vows to lead a chaste and asCetic life. Her
diet is purely vegetable. Meats and liq-
uors she must avoid. She must hold no in
tercourse with men and must take no i'll
terest in worldly affairs. Her religious du-
ties, which she promises faithfully to per-
form, are mainly prayers, ceremonies and
the care of the altar, on which the vestal
fire must not die out.
But the Chinese u enjoys a good deal
of freedom. She may walk all about the
town. Her spare time is spent in tending
the sick. And as the Buddhist priests have
very little intercourse with Chinese women
the nuns are the religious Instructors of
the feminine part OF the community and
thus exercise a great Influence. Hong

Make Home Happy.

The home life is the basis Of all life, and
a.happy home is essential to safety and
success in any department Of life. Occa-
~sionally a man Or m is strong enough
and sufficiently self contained to endure
disquiet and u%nhappiness at home without
fiinching at any point of duty. But the
majority are not SO. They become dis
couraged, lose heart and at last break down.
Many of the sudden and surprising lapses
are to be traced to this cause. Indeed, when
one finds himself tied for life to a home and
has become convinced that there is no rest
or happiness for him in it, it Is not surpris-
ing that he becomes discouraged n breaks
down. That is the natural result. however,
much we may depiore it. And it is more
true Of the man than 1t is of the
On the other hand, q man is prepared to
stand almost any storm, meet any foe, en-
dure any hardship or suffering which may
fail to his Lot in this world if he only has a
good home, full of sympathy and love, into
which he may retreat. Therein he grows
strong. In it he has something for which
to endure and fight. Many a mans success,
many.a woman's triumph, may be attrib-
uted to the happy homes in which they
live.-PhAadelphia Times.
