Buddhism 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 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 great deal of
that from true disciple), 1t 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 1t is unlikely that he
would have made 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 half he moved into
the middle of the room and thus deliv.

The Worthy Novel.

The novel that is worthy of the name,
and which is calculated to render a
broader service than the pecuniary COM
pensation of its author, is the one which
takes the problems of life as they present
themselves to US all, and by the example
Of the characters portrayed teaches us
the way to their proper solution; that
presents us, with types of manly and
womanly character that may inspire the
reader to emulation Of their excellences,
and that is withal natural, helpful,
concrete story of life of lives. Such q
novel is worth all the literary freaks
that ever have been or ever will be pro-
duced. -Donahoe's Magazine.

Primrose Path For Fiery Ouch hesses.

'Duchesses to the rescued" is the cry
of the Duchess of Portland. Her grace
sees in the home rule bill "red ruin and
the breaking up Of laws" and with this
awful but somewhat hazy vision before
her she urges every man and woman in
England to be ''up and fighting" As
political guides, l hardly recognize duch-
esses, but as social factors they are pow
erful and ever will be SO long as they
and 1unkies continue to exist.
But apart from funkyism duchesses
are generally pretty women, because the
man who can confer on a woman the
title Of duchess has very wide field of
selection.
Iwould therefore suggest to her grace
of Portland that she should organize a
duchess troop to go about the country
and hold unionist meetings. Their
speeches would probably not carry con-
viction with them, but their good looks
would insure attendance.-Henry La
bouchere in London Truth.

The debate on the question whether
the south is worse than the north or the
north is as bad as the south in the mat
ter Of lynching criminals is neither edi-
flying nor profitable.
1t makes not a particle of difference
whether the mob in Michigan which
burned white woman was more ma
levolent than the Texas mob which roast
ed negro. They were both mobs, and
they both committed an act which is a
disgrace to nineteenth century civiliza-
ton.
We have system Of justice, and the
forms prescribed for it should be rigidly
followed in all sections of the Union
There are delays in the administration
Of the law which are sometimes exasper-
ating, but their tendency is in the right
direction-namely, to give the accused
every possible opportunity to prove his
innocence. 1t is far better to be slow in
such matters than sorry, for it has more
than once happened in the history of this
country that an excited crowd has got
hold of the wrong man.
Mob rule means disorder, and it should
be discouraged by every patriotic citizen.
As to north or south, there is no chance
for controversy. AS to executing GRIM
inal and acquitting an innocent man
these are the important and the only i'm
portant matters to consider. New York

The Belgium Strike.

The strike of the workingmen of Bel
GUM is the most remarkable in all his
tory 1t was not a strike for higher
wages. for shorter hours, or for any of the
things for which labor movements" are
planned. 1t was strike to compel the
granting of political rights to the people.
The demand was for the suffrage, and
the workmen refused to work until the
parliament gave what they asked. For
nearly week all business in the king
dom was bought to stand. No work
was done. The idle thousands, worked
upon by tho socialists, were easily led to
violent demonstrations. Dynamite was
used.
There were conflicts between the pop
ulace and the civic guard. Blood was
shed and revolution with arms threaten
cd. Just in time to avoid anarchy, the
parliament yielded, and universal suf-
frage was granted the people Of Bel
GUM. The strike for self government
succeeded. This is the most significant
political incident of late years in Europe,
not only in its methods, but in its result.

4 Backward season.

A cool spring has greatly interfered
with the selling Of seasonable goods.
Shoppers are not inclined to buy freely
of cottons and summer silks when many
are still wearing furs and heavy fiannels.
The weather is "a great factor in selling
goods, as all dealers know, but the effect
is felt more among retailers than Job
bers and wholesalers. The two latter
classes sold freely in anticipation of the
season, but the retailers have not got
rid of much that they then bought, ow-
ing to the dilatoriness Of spring.
The business through March and April
was not up to expectations. But Just
about so much must besold anyway, and
the bulk was simply shifted to May and
June. Each shopper buys, more or less,
as she needs the goods, and the need Of
summer garments or many for spring
has not been felt yet. But warm days
must come, and with their coming stocks
will move that may now seem stationary.

Tho Telephone Monopoly.

From 1887 to 1892, span Of five years,
the American Bell Telephone company
raised its capital stock from g, ,sO2, 100 to
e17 500, 900, or nearly doubled it. It has
issued g., 600. 900 debenture bonds and it
has added 81 ,615, ,1G3 to its "patent &C.
count" In this five years, and these the
last years of its chief patent, it has added
$11 ,314 ,063 to the capital on which it col
lects money and takes in profits from the
public. It has added H5 per cent to its
net earnings. which have risen from g.
210,596 IN 1897 TO $3.411 .616 in 1892, and
its dividends. which We're 81 1,56S, 1868 in
1887, were &2.019.090 in 1892. or nearly
doubled
Now, the American Bell Telephone
company holds one-third Of the stock of
the local companies and charges them a
royalty for the telephones into the bar
gain. By this ingenious plan every man
who pays $12O a year for the privilege of
saying Hello" first and later using
stronger language pays the American
Bell Telephone twice. He helps to earn
one-third the dividends of the local COM
pany for stock on which no cash was
paid and by which dividends the Bell re-
ceived 81 ,422, ,04S in 1892 against 81 ,O18,-
038 in 1887, and he pays his share of tho
$3, ,303, ,753 received for rental of tele-
phones in 1899, one-fourth more in 1887
when $2,264,s 1923 was paid.
The local company makes money, no
doubt Of that, but by the time it has
paid over dividends on one-third its
stock. paid the rental of its telephones
and met the charges Of new plant and
30 on in putting its lines under ground,
it is making great deal less money than
the large charges would appear to indi-
cate. BY this double arrangement the
real offender, the American Bell Tele-
phone company, is screened from the
public which uses its telephones, and the
real cause and source of high charges is
effectually concealed and protected

Price of Peanuts and the Big Fair.

The statistician has not yet attempted
to say how many pints of roasted pea
nuts the vender at the Worlds fair viii
have to sell in order to make a comfort
able profit on his investment. He has
paid over 100000 for the privileges of
the grounds. 1t was believed that somo
shrewd speculator would try to corner
the market when the sale of the privilege
was announced, but nothing has been
heard of such a proceeding. The crop
of peanuts last year was over 5000, 900
bushels-that is, the American crop,
which is grown principally in Virginia,
the Carolinas and Tennessee. But there
are hundreds c. thousands of bushels
grown on the western coast of Africa,
and they might be imported in case of a
scarcity at Chicago. The price of pea
nuts is likely to go up before the fair
closes.-New York Tribune.

completely outgeneraled at every point
by Hall, and was unable to offer enough
resistance to make the contest exciting
When time was called Slavn's face wore
peculiar dazed expression. He
lurched heavily twice as he left his C r

gait. After sparring for few seconds
he walked directly up to Hall and was
received with staggering right handler
which almost floored him. Throughout
the round he never closed his glove, and

corner amid the Kissing and groaning of

Of the round the referee warned them il
they did not fight there would be no

going down from a right handler on the

in the sixth. The seventh round had
hardly opened before Hall floored
Slavin with his left. Slavin was
soon up, but hearing somebody call time
he turned towards his corner. Hall in

Mr.. Cleveland has, it appears, gathered
into his cabinet an unusual number of
fishermen. The fondness of the presi-
dent for angling is well known. Last
summer he wore his old clothes and
fished in Buzzard's bay without much
attention tQ the campaign. Mr.. Herbert
is said to be u fisherman of great skill
and infinite patience. Judge Gresham,
too, knows how to bait hook 1t is said
that he has not been above fishing for
perch off the piers about Chicago. Mr..
Lamont knows how to fish, because Mr..
Cleveland has taught him. Mr.. Morton
has not lived in Il good fish country. and
it may be that he has only iished for
canned salmon in Nebraska groceries.
Mr.. Bissell probably knows few
things about this idyllic diversion, but if
he and Mr.. Olney are ignorant Of the
game they can be taught. Potomac shad
fishing is good primary branch of the
sport, and Il planked shad is Il real lux

about Mr.. Smith, but from his pictures
we suspect that he will be able to con-
tribute some valuable fish information

Montana's silver Freak viii BE Unveiled
to the World Today.

to the World Today.
CHICAGO. May 90 Everything was
hurry and hustle about the Montana
building today. The Silver state people
were arranging the final details for the
unveiling of the the beautiful statue of
Justice which is to form center of at
traction in the department of mines and
mining Invitations have been sent to
prominent people all over the world. AS
the statue represents large amount of
wealth something more than 100000 in
bullion, every detail of its casting has
been watched with the utmost anxiety.
The statue is probably the largest solid
bullion cast ever made. The cast was
successfully made at the works Of the
American Bronze company of Chicago,
March IL, in the presence of distin-
guished company of invited guests. Ever
since that date artists have been en-
ployed upon the figure giving it the fin
ishing touches. Over $4,000 ounces of
silver were used in it, This is exclusive
of the gold in the plnth which was
loaned for the occasion by the Spotted
Horse Mining company of Maiden, Mont.
The ceremonies at the unveiling of the
statue tomorrow will be of the most i'm
posing nature.
