No Buddhists In India.

There are no Buddhists in India.
There are many in Ceylon, and there
is a sect of them in Nepal, an indie
pendent territory to the north on
the borders of Buddhistic Tibet The
religion vanished from India in the
early centuries of the Christian era
The neo-B rahmans set anti Buddhas,
so to speak, in the figures of Krishna,
Mahadeva and Rama-demigods and
idols Of the great neo-Brahmanic re-
ngions, Vishnu worship and silva
worship-and these swept everything
else before them until the Moham-
medan conquest, and at the present
day in one shape or another these
forms of belief are adhered to by
five-sixths of the population, the re-
mainder being Mussulmans. The
Buddhists are gone, though not with
out leaving behind them a rich leg
acy of philosophic thought and many
monuments of their artistic genius

Coleridge's Visions.

Coleridge once read to his friend
Cottle, the publisher, from his peck
etbook a list of IS different works,
not one of which he ever wrote. For
many years he meditated heroic
poem on the siege of Jerusalem by
Titus, and among other projected
works were a Treatise on the Corn
Laws" a History of German Bellies
Lettres, :" a Book of Morals" in an
swer to Goodwin, an Essay on the
Writings Of johnson and Gibbon,
a poetical pantomime, and a "kind
Of comedy" 81 should not think of
devoting less than 20 years to an
epic poem," he writes ten years to
collect my materials and warm my
mind with universal science" Five
were to be spent in its composition
and five with its correction. His
tastes and inclinations were undoubt-
edly catholic, but persistent effort in
any one direction was i'll suited to the
genius of Coleridge, and he was con-
tent with his books and his opium
and consequent glorious dreaming

Germanr,s First Windmill.

The first windmill in Germany was
built at Windsheim The Augustine
monks at that place desired to build
one such as they had seen in Italy,
but the lord of the manor forbade
them, declaring that the winds be-
longed to him, The monks applied
to the bishop of Utrecht, who
promptly laid down the fundamental
principle that no one had any power
over the winds of his diocese but
himself. He gave permission to
build the mill, and it was erected in
the closing years of the fourteenth
century. Exchange

a HUNTING LAY.


He buckled girth and frightened rein
And made his mare take heed.
She snorted answer back again
A fair and gallant steedl
He held her straight across the down;
She left afar his peers;
The fresh wind In his face was blown;
The pack sang in his ears.
lie held her straight adown the hill,
Her hooks beneath her bent.
None, without instant fear Of i'll,
Could follow where she went.
He held her straight across the plain;
She strained against the bit;
Her courage heightened his again;
His knowledge lent her wit.
Rough dikes, high piled from ancient days
Strong fences of the past
She left them all and went her ways,
A gallant mare and fast.
The blackthorn twined across the path
Hid yon sweet pack from view;
She smote the growers in her wrath
And Glove the fence in two.
He spied the oak rail, nor would stop,
Yet drew the long reins' tether;
Fully two feet clear she spurned the top;
All, how they laughed together!
The stream where marsh and river meet
Her heart made light Of gladly,
And as it flashed beneath her feet
His own was beating madly.
Yon loud hound concert, close at hand,
His very soul had stirred,
And she--his mare-could understand
The music that he heard.
And when he lighted off the mare
At that long gallop's end,
Was ever maiden half so fair?
Was ever such friend?

nTit For Tat

Professor Skeat, in his Ety1nolog-
ical Dictionary, explains the expires,
sion as elbow for blow, /" and says
that it is a corruption of tip for
tap, where tip is a slight tap. He
refers to Bullinger's works, 1, 283
Parker society, the translation Of
which is, l believe, dated 1877. May
I be permitted to direct attention to
the fact that "tit for tat" had already
appeared at an earlier date in John
Heywood's "Proverbes," 1916?
Since tit for tat (quoth on even hand is set,
Set the hares head agaynst the goose ieblet.

is simply a corruption for tant pour

NAPOLEON Al LUNCH.

The Great COnQueror Was Not ParticuIaa
as to His Table Manners.
The great Napoleon was by no
means great in little things. In the
fine art of dining he was particular
ly small, although he was such gen
Jus in attracting his foreign visitors
by tickling their palate with the
most wonderful creations of that
jewel among chefs, LIE Guipiere. 1t
never took the first Napoleon more
than 10 minutes to swallow his
breakfast, and to the disgust of his
artist of the kitchen he refused to
spend more than half an hour over
his dinner
Napoleon generally lunched at
small round table. And this was
WELL for it was one of his little pc
culiarities to forget the use of knife
and fork and to plunge his fingers
into a dish and regale himself, la
SINCE, with whatever savory morsel
he might get hold of. AS for using
his dinner napkin, that was alto
gether out of the question. At din
ner the emperor had the various
courses brought in at the same time
and often ate three or four courses
at once, in his observation-disclosures
taking anything placed before him,
so that occasionally he had piece of
Jelly or a cream on his plate before
he had finished with the entrees. He
always ended his meal with a large
cup of coffee.
At luncheon or dinner parties at
the Tuileries, Napoleon took hardly
any notice of his guests. He got up
when he had finished and walked
into the drawing room. The En-
press Josephine, however, took no
notice and made a sign to her guests
not to rise. If, however, she was oc-
casionally obliged to follow the en-
peror, the rest of the party had to go
empty away.
This was so well known that one
day when his majesty rose, after
only a few minutes, from the lunch
con table, and his guest, Prince Eu-
gene, following him into his room,
the following dialogue took place:
"You haven't had sufficient time to
finish your meal, said the emperor.
Pardon, your majesty" replied the
prince, with a.gallant bow, ''but !
dined before I CAME
The emperor's favorite dishes were
mutton, lentils and salad made of
French beans, and he never drank
more than half a bottle of the light
est of table wines. But whether he
was at the Tuileries or in camp he
never dined off anything but solid
gold and silYer.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Why Grateful AIormons Impose Fine of %
For Killing the Bird.

Why Grateful Mormons Impose q Fine of %
For Killing the Bird.
Most interesting of the birds that
we saw on our daily walk to the pas
ture were the gulls- great, beautiful,
snowy creatures, who looked strange
ly out of place so far away from the
seashore. Stranger, too, than their
change of residence was their change
of manners from the wild, unap
proachable sea birds, soaring and div
ing and apparently spending their
lives on wings. From this high place
in our thoughts, from this realm OF
poetry and mystery, to come down
almost to the tameness of the barn
yard FOWLS marvellous transforms
ton, and one is tempted to believe
the solemn announcement OF the
Salt Lake prophet that the Lord sent
them to his chosen people.
The occasion of this alleged special
favor to the Latter Day Saints was
the advent about 20 years ago OF
clouds of grasshoppers, before which
the crops of the western states and
territories were destroyed as by fire.
1t was then, in their hour of greatest
need, when the food upon which de-
pended whole people was threat
ened, that these beautiful winged
messengers appeared. In large t1ocks
they came, from no one knows where,
and settled like SO many sparrows ali
over the land, devouring almost with
out ceasing the hosts of the foe. The
crops were saved, and all Deseret re-
joiced.
Was it any wonder that a people
trained to regard the head of their
church as the direct representative
of the highest should believe these
to be really birds of God and should
accordingly cherish them3 Well
would it be for themselves if other
Christian peoples were equally be-
lieving, and protected and cherished
other winged messengers sent just as
truly to protect their crops. The
shrewd man who welded the desti-
MES of his people beside the Salt lake
SGCuT0Q Uu0 1ululS UoCIIluCSo VI w haU
they considered the miraculous Wis
itation by fixing a penalty Of SIS upon
the head of every gull in the terri
tory.
And now, the birds having found
congenial nesting places on solitary
islands in the lake, their descendants
are so fearless and so tame that they
habitually follow the plow like
flock of chickens, rising from almost
under the feet of the Indifferent
horses and settling down at once in
the furrow behind, seeking out grubs
and Larvae and mice and moles that
the plow has disturbed in its PAS
sage. The Mormon cultivator has
sense enough to appreciate such
service, and no man OF boy dreams of
lifting finger against his best friend.
Extraordinary indeed was this sight
to eyes accustomed to seeing every
bird that attempts to render sr1ch
like service shot and shared ard
swept from the face of the ea1Sk.
Our hearts warmed toward the
''sons of Zion" and our respect for
their intelligence increased as we
hurried down to the field to see this
latter day wonder. Atlantic Month

MOONLIGHT NORTH AND SOUTH.

Love, we have heard together
The North sea sing his tune
And felt the winds wild feather
Brush past our cheeks at noon
And seen the cloudy weather
Made wondrous with the moon.
Where loneliness is rarest
'Tis also priced the most
The moonlight shone her fairest
Along that level coast,
Where sands and dunes the barest
OF beauty seldom boast.
Far from that bleak and rude land,
An exile l remain,
Fixed in fair and good land
A valley and plain,
Rich in fat fields and woodland
And watered we'll with rain.
Last night the full moons splendor
Shone down on Taunton Dene,
And pasture fresh and tender
And copptce dusky green
The heavenly light did render
In one enchanted scene,
One fair unearthly vision.
Yet soon mine eyes were cloyed
And found those fields elysian
Too rich to be enjoyed,
Or was it our division
Made all my pleasure void?
Across the window glasses
The curtain then l drew,
And as a sea bird passes
In sleep my spirit flew
To gray and windswept grasses
And moonlit sands and you.

The Kossuth Hat.

The announcement of the death of
Louis Kossuth revives the remem-
brance of an incident which at this
time is interesting. 1t will be ] ,
membered how Kossuth was receive j
with boundless enthusiasm when he
visited this country in 1851. Among
the thousands going down to the Bat
terry to welcome the great orator and
patriot was Mr. Henry A. Hurlbut,
at that time member of the firm of
Swift & Hurlbut, who were largely
interested in the hat manufacturing
business.
Noticing Kossuth's peculiar head
gear adorned with feather, he con-
ceived the idea of manufacturing a
new style of soft hats and to place
them upon the market under the
name 'Kossuth hat" The new style
made a tremendous hit. Kossuth
hats were all the rage. From this
little incident dates the fashion of all
sorts of soft hats and top hats un-
known heretofore in the American
hat business. New York Tribune.

The fire was communicated almost sim

the firemen succeeded in saving the
greater portion of the Transportation
building but the other two buildings
were soon enveloped in flames and by

BURNING BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES

With the Bank of England the destruction
of its notes takes place about once a week
and at seven P. M. 1t used to be lone in the
day time, but made such a smell that the
.neighboring stock brokers petitioned the
governors to do it il the evening. The
notes are previously cancelled by punching
a hole through the amount and tearing off
signature of the chief cashier. The notes
are burned in a closed furnace and the only
agency employed is shavings and bundles of
wood. They used to be burned in a cage,
the result of which was that once a week the
city was darkened with burning fragments
of notes. For future purposes of reference,
the notes are left for five years before be
ing burned. The number Of notes coming
into the Bank of England every day is
about $4,000, and $4,000 are destroyed
every week, or something like 5000, 200
every year. The stock Of paid notes for five
years is about q, 745, 900 in number, and they
fill 3.400 boxes, which if placed side by side
would reach two and one-third miles. If the
notes were placed in a pile they would reach
to q height of five and two-third miles, OF if
Joined end to end would form a ribbon 12,-
ass miles long.-Chfcago Herald.
