BUDDHISM.
A Discovery That Throws Some Light
on It's Origin.


DR. Fuhrer, archaeological sur
yeyor in the northwestern provinces
of India, has made discovery which
seems to carry the origin of Bud
dhism much further back than the ac-
cepted date in the fifth century be-
fore Christ
III the village of Nijiva, in swamps
within the borders of the state of
Nepal, he found an Asoka pillar,
surrounded for half a mile by vast
brick ruins of monasteries and of a
still magnificent domed tomb of
Konalsamana The portion of the
pillar which is still erect has an in
scription establishing the fact that
the Buddha commemorated is the
same as the Kanakamana of the
Buddhists of Ceylon, who was the
23rd mythical predecessor of the
historical Buddha. The Nepalese
speak OF the pillar as the smoking

under Lord Canning, began the

Nepal has now serious dispute
with the Llama government of
lshasa on IT'S hands, and is always
jealous of British or foreign visitors.
But should the government of India
not discourage its proposed cam
paign in Thibet, the durbar may be
willing to help DR.. Fuhrer to dig on
sufficiently great scale. Nepal is
almost as little known as Thibet, al
though it is u protected state of the
government of India, and it seems
time that it was opened, as Kasmir
has been, to the savant and the tray

TWO QUEER FARMS.
One Is Devoted TO Raising 'Possums
and the Other to Rabbits.

One Is Devoted TO Raising 'Possums
and the Other to Rabbits. ..
Fl. l. Twigg, a young English
farmer, has secured large tract of
land in Kentucky, near Richmond,
and announces that he has estab
lished 'possum farm. We're he a
Yankee, it would be suspected that
the announcement of the 'possmn
ranch was part of a scheme to colo
nize the adjacent district with col
ored people, possible buyers of small
tracts of land. But Mr.. Twigg is
said to be quite sincere in his un-
dertalcing, having figured out that
as 'possum is considered such del
icacy as to command fancy prices,
there is money in the scheme. He
has under advice of an experienced
old colored gemman, who has as
sured him that "the 'possum am a
very dainty eater" planted on the
ranch large number of persimmon
and haw trees, and hazlenut bushes.
He has started in with 20 'possm
in the warren, and, calculating upon
the remarkable fecundity of the ami
mails, expects by next fall to be able
to supply the Louisville demand at
least. ".#... ,..r.H
A similar experiment is being
made in the cultivation of rabbits in
Sullivan county, this state. The
difficulty is to secure food for the
growth on limited reservation, and
ultimately animals overrun the sur
rounding country and become pest,
as for instance, the opossums of
Long Island. IN. Y. Journal.

WEST POINTERS MUST WAIT.
So Many Promoted That the 'ee Glass
VIII Find Few Vacancies.

Those cadets who complete the
four years course at West Point in
June will be confronted with the
most extraordinary situation that
ever has confronted the lot of young
aspirants for army commissions.
They win find on graduation morn
ing probably not more than dozen
vacancies in all departments of the
service for some 20 men. This con-
dition of affairs is due to the number
of appointments made from the ranks
in the last year and the comparative
ly few retirements and casualties.
Usually at this time Of the year the
class about to be graduated has some
30 or 40 vacancies waiting to befilled,
and for years there has been general
ly surplus above those necessary
for the West. Pointers. The result
was that few years ago many civ
ilians received appointments in the
army, among them the sons of Gen.
Schofeld and Senator Sewell. ~
Despite the discouraging outlook,
all the cadets will be provided for
eventually, as the law directs that all
graduates of West Point shall be
commissioned in some branch of the
army. The department. therefore,
will have to designate at least 60 of
the cadets additional second lieuten-
ants, and place them on the list
awaiting vacancies.

An Ancient Graveyard.

An important find of skeletons OF
prehistoric people, supposed to be
cliff jewellers, was made some days
ago on Beaver creek, Yavapal coun-
ty, Ariz. The skeletons were laid
out in orderly arrangement on natu-
raj shelves in the chalk-hke cliffs
bordering the creek. There were
about 40 skeletons in all, and each
was laid on a piece of mating. They
were evidently OF full-grown people,
but were very small in size and were
in a remarkably good state of pres
ervation.
