A BUDDHIST "LlFs OF CHRISTI
A Record of Immense Interest Discovered
 In a Monastery In Tibet.

A Record of Immense Interest Discovered
 In Monastery In Tibet.
 A Buddhist Life of Christ" of i'm mense interest to the religious world has been discovered in monastery in Tibet by Nicholas Notovitch, Russian traveller. He tried vainly to negotiate \ leg and was taken to a monastery. While there Lama read to him the precious record, which was in the Pali language, and Notovitch took down full translation. Christ is known to the Buddhists as the prophet Issa This isa brief summary of his life:
 Issa was born of Jewish parents He was poor, but belonged by birth to family of exalted piety which had for gotten its former greatness on earth, magnitied the Creator and thanked him for the misfortunes with which he was pleased to try them. ..s....
 From his childhood he preached one God On coming of age, IS, instead of marrying, he fled from his father house and went with merchants to Sind. At 14 he was living among the Aryas. One day he broke away from the Brahmans He denied the divine origin of the Ve- das and the incarnation of Para Brahma He learned Pali and was initiated into the mysteries of pure Buddhism. Then he went westward, preaching against idols. He was 29 years old when he re- turned to Judaa-
 He began to preach, but his popular ity alarmed Pontius Pilate. The latter summoned the priests and learned men to try Issa- The tribunal examined Issa and pronounced him innocent Issa con- tinued to speak to the people, inculcat- ing obedience to C9sar, and respect for womankind The spies which Pilate set to watch him sent disquieting reports of the enthusiasm of the multitude. The governor, fearing mutiny, caused Issa to be imprisoned, tortured and tried be- fore the sanhedrin with two thieves. False witnesses were bribed- The gov ernor then called witness who, at the bidding of Pilate, had betrayed Issa- This man came, and speaking to Issa said:
 "Did you not claim to be the king of Israel when you said that the Lord of heaven had sent you to prepare his peo- ple?' Issa, having blessed him, said, "You shall be forgiven, because what you say does not come from your heart. Turning to the governor, Issa said, "Why humble your pride and teach your interiors to live in falsehood, since even without that you are able to con- demn an innocent man?'
 At these words the governor fell into a rage and ordered the death of Issa, while he discharged the thieves. The judges, having deliberated, said to Pi- late:
 We will not take upon ourselves the great sin of condemning this innocent man and absolving two thieves. The thing is contrary to our laws Do, there fore, as you please.
 Having thus spoken, the priests and wise men went out and washed their hands in a holy vessel, saying, We are innocent of the death of the just man " Issa and the thieves were crucified, but on the third day Issa's sepulcher was found open and empty.-London Letter.

Crests-

If you have crest-and if you haven't your jeweler can design one for you at a small expense-do not be satis- fled with engraving it on your silver, embroidering it on house and personal linen and painting it on the panels of your carriage, but put it on your front door also, this way: Your front door is either of heavy grained oak, bearing an iron knocker, the upper half of glass overlaid with a wrought iron grille, or it is all of white enamel, bears a brass knocker and the number of the house in inlaid Roman numerals of brass. The upper panels of the house are replaced by heavy sheet of French plate glass set in brass rim. So far very good. Now, inside that glass must be covered by a curtain to screen your privacy from the outer world Be sure the curtain is of the finest French muslin, gathered above and below on brass rods, and right in the center of the curtain must appear in French embroidery your crest, elab- orately worked, so that whoever rings your bell may know that you do not lack one, and that you are not ashamed to show it to the world.-Demorest's Mag azine.

The working man may be glad that
there are few free trade manu-
facturers in this country who keep
their mills running in all kinds OF

cept lower wages.
Nearly all kinds of glass are manu-
featured by tariff protected trusts.
These trusts have kept about half OF
their mills closed during the past two
wears. and for several months Of each
wear all have been closed. Under the
100 Der cent. protection of the Mckin-
lev tariff wages have been greatly re-
duccd and many strikes are now on be-
cause Of threatened reductions. but
there is one important exception. The

One Of the most desperate encoun-
tiers that the annals of the sea have
recorded is that of which Capt. Robert
X. Clarke. Of the schooner Frank n
Thayer. is the hero. Capt Clarke was

lives Of his frs, and second mates and

for Shanghai.
She had on board the captain his
wife and daughter. officers and. be-
sides the European crew. couple OF
Malays and Chinaman.
They made great deal OF fun OF the
two half civilized-looking Malays
when they came on board. and treated
them with very little con sideration.
The men were both of very small
stature. and they had long arms and
STOPPING shoulders. so that when they
walked about they reminded the other
sailors of gorillas or chimpanzees
But the sailors found that. il they
looked like monkeys. they could also
climb like monkeys: that they were as
quick in their movements as couple
OF cats. and. when IL came To trial OF
strength. either Of the two little Ma
Laws was more than match for the

High Tarin Does Not Make High
Wages.

There is another thing which Is not
clear To me- How is 1t that free trade,
with foreign nations that pay low
prices for labor. can benefit all' How
can IL but reduce wages To level with
those pauper-labor countries?
First-Labor does not cost more in
one country than in another as long as
immigration is free; that is. wages may
be higher in one place than in another
but they cannot remain SO unless the
work turned out is in proportion. II
high wages meant high cost OF produc-
ton. the converse would be true-low
wages would mean low cost of produc-
ton; and no wages ut a!l--slavcry--
would drive out of existence any wage

our experience Of the last century.

The Tin-Plate Consumers ASSOCIATION

ton Of duty of ! - cents "A pound on

after reducing il To cent in its original
report accepted the house bills rate In
the revision The duty under the law OF
1883 was cent and the Mckinley tariff
increased il to 2-l0 cents: so that IT
appears that the duty now proposed IS
higher than the duty which the Mckin-
lev tax superseded. A duty Of cent
would be higher now i'm proportion To
the value than il was in lss9and 1890. be-
cause the price of tin plate abroad has
