buddhism in Greece.

A legend of II of Bu,.dha's earliest
pupils tells us that the Young MAJ used
to pass the whole rainy season in his
palace surrounded by dancing girls.
Once he saw IL bevy of them asleep in
~unbecoming attitudes. and he woke up
and said. This will never do" So he
joined BudGia. Now. Il life OF heavy
heat. long rainy seasons and ~uncea>ing
dancing girls is very well calculated 10
bring a man to suicide or to Buddhism,
As far as Buddhism means unselfish
kindness land it demands u great deal Of
that from IA true disciplel. it is exactly
asgood as any other religion which makes
the same requirement.
But as far as it is peaantic, 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 a 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 Il single convert

compares it with his wife's cooking to

wool.

The American Wool and Cotton Re
porter has issue,. d circular for the in
formation of Voc growers containing
many valuable suggestions some Of
which we are SURE would materially
benefit Montana %shcepmen If followed.
For the information of Custer county
%sheepmen VI quote the following:
Since the recent election. and With the
possibility of lower duties upon wool.
the domestic grower must inevitably
improve his methods of preparing w"oi
for market. Keep out of the tleeces ali
dung locks. loose tags. sticks and stun
from the floor OF the shearing pen. All
of these tags and refuse should be pack
ed separately. as also the bucks lie ,ee
and sold on their merits. If dung locks
adhere Ia the wool in shearing. either
clip them off and throw them ava! or
pack them separately. The grower will
get an Immediate advantage in price by
taking this curse a. wei! as by keeping
out of his tleeces the refuse of the shear.
ing shed.
Many growers sti fail to realize the
injury to their wc5ls resulting from the
use Of s1sal Irvine. This sisal costs only
five or six cent per pound, but ii is
weighed with wopl costing from twenty
to thirty cents per pound. 81 that the
manufactures has not only to make a re-
duction in price sufficient to protect
himself against loss in weight. but also
to guard against the damage To the
goods by the sisal fibre.
This unsuitable Irvine causes a loss all
the way from the fleece to the finished
garment. which must be sold at a lower
price because of the iniperfections
caused by the tibres Of this Irvine getting
into the cloth.
American hemp Irvine possesses many
advantages for use in tying fleece. and.
everything considered. cost. etc.. is. per
haps. to be preferred to any other. 1t
has strength, lightness and ii glazed sur
face. while its COS. is very much in its
favor.
Growers are also cautioned againt ns
ing tar or paint in marking or branding
their sheep. as the paint and tar locks
must be clipped off and thrown away he
fore the wool can he used. Sulpherdips
are also 10 be discouraged. as they make
the wool hard 10 scour. In preparing
your woods for market. roll up the fleece
without the Use Of IA box. keep the tags
out, use a small quantity of light Irvine.
and YOU will take a very important step
toward improving the popularity Of
American sheep.
As the great complaint against Mont
ana wool in eastern markets has been in
regard to the s~leyenly and ~careles
way it has been prepared for market. it
certainly would seem To be a measure Of
self protection for growers to experiment
in the opposite direction and ascertain ii
the extra care will not yield them IA lar
ger profit.

MCKINLEY THE CAUSE.

Mr.. Thurston. the Hawaiian commits
Toner. i'm his eloquent article in the
North American Review. endeayors to
show that il Was not SO much native
rule and heather practices after all that
created the revolt. but the Mckinley bill
with its reciprocit. clause. Before the
enactment of the Mckinley law. Hawaii
alone had reciprocity with the United
States and p%rotited by the monopoly of
the free duty privilege by pocketing the
amount Of the RENTED duty as legiti-
mate profit. giving the American people
Hawaiian sugar at the same price as
before. But when reciprocity under
the Mckinley act was extended To the
West Indies and all Latin Americas,
Hawaii lost its monopoly and was obliged
to compete in free and open market with
nations which furnished about % per
cent. Of the sugar consumed by the
American people.
1t was this free sugar market. Mr..
Thurston naively and damagingly argues
that is the source of the woes from
which Hawaii sought to escape by resort
To revolution and annexation. His pa
triotic plea is expressed in dollars and
cents thus: The price of sugar belong
ing to Americans in Hawaii was reduced
in round rumber from so to $50 a ton.
The same amount Of sugar produced in
Hawaii that sold for s%12.l39.0fs in 1890
will cell for only SG!9e3,50i in 1892. a re,
duction Of s5.1g5. 144. or ios, per cent
and the effect has been to reduce the
selling price to. or less than. the cost of
production on all but a few of the most
fayorably located plantations. With
rare exceptions plantation stock is unsai-
able. 1t is inevitable that. If present
conditions continue. an immense amount
Of capital invested. not only in sugar,
but in Industries subordinate to and de

Thus does the Hawaiian commission

prietor forget it. The country can gel

Naxiyation on the Nile.

From the beginning of winter to the
end of spring-that is, while the Nile Is
ravigahle-the north wind blows steadi-
ly up stream with sufficient force To
drive sailing boats against the current at
a fair ace, while. On the other hand, the
current is strong enough to carry a boat
without sails down against the wind, ex-
cept when it blows a gale. That is why
ancient Egypt did not need steam power
nor electric motors for the immense

M'HUGH VS.. CANNON.

An Interesting Lawsuit on Trial in Judge
Bucks Court.
The case Of McHuRh ". 9. W. Cannon
was on trial in Judge Bucks court yester-
day. The suit involves tho possession OF
property on lower Main street. whore tho
electric railway company formerly had it,
oface. and 10 valued at $4,000. In 1879 a
Mr.. Hayes. Mrs MoHuah's father, claimed
to be peuper. He owned the property in
'volved at tho time. it having been decided
him BY the probate court. The county
ngreed to take care of Hayes If the prop
erty was decided to it. This Was done. and
the county commissioners at first expended
sea week on account OF Hayes, and later
reduced this to $3.b week. and in 1889
discontinued caring for him altogether.
Mrs. McHugh's understanding was that the
care Of her father by the county at Sc a
week was 10 continue while he lived. Four
teen years ago Chairman Hoyt Of the
board of lrounty com issioners. sold the
property 70 9. w. Cannon and gave him q
deed for 1t. In 1887 George b. Foots
jumped the land and put fence around lt.
This fenoo remained until Cannon built ON
the ground. Tho plaintiff wants the deed
to the county set aside. M. Cannon de-
clsrsd a trssspasser and rejected. A number
OF nice legal questiens are said By the law
yers to be involved in the case.
