RosARlEs OF THE ORIENT.
Favorite Beads of the Japanese, Chinese,
and Buddhists.

and Buddhists.
The prevailing idea in regard to a
rosary issthat it belongs solely to fol-
lowers of the Catholic religion. But
take away the cross that is hanging to
the beads and we find that one must
turn to the dim, mysterious East for
the origin Of the rosary, for it is among
the temples of India, China and Japan
that the first sign of the practice is to
be found. Ancient pictures of the Him
doc gods depict them with chaplets OF
beads in their hands, and it is believed
that this method of keeping count of
their many prayers was in use among
the Hindoos before the era of Buddha,
or at least B. C. $780,
The use of the rosary seems especial
ly suited to an Eastern cline and to
the repose Of an Oriental mind. The
Buddhists are fond of using very
smooth beads of glass, polished jade or
coral, and it has been thought that the
, smooth, cool beads gliding through
their fingers as they murmur the holy
name for thousands of times help them
to arrive at that state of holy abstrac-
ton from earthly things which is so
much priced among the followers Of
Buddha.
The fayorite Japanese rosaries are
made of polished wood, crystal, onyx
and chased silver, and the Japanese
Buddhists repeat in endless devotion
sNuma Amida Butzu'' ("Save US,
Buddha'), while their Chinese brothers
have the blessed name "O-Mi-to-fu"
forever on their lips. A rosary of very
great size was recently brought from a
temple in Kioto, Japan. The largest
bead is about six inches in diameter,
and the rosary entire is about twenty
four feet long. The huge beads are Of
dark brown polished wood They are
hollow and have each a figure of a god
inside the little shrine, which can be
seen through lattice of brasswork.

To Induce sleep.

With the best will in the world to
take sleep it is often Impossible to lose
consciousness. Sleep attained by the
use of drugs is of little value, but a
drowsy state may often be induced by
drinking cup of hot chocolate, milk
broth or Cruel Immediately upon going
to bed at night. A hot bath before re-
firing also has a sedative effect, as it
draws the blood from the brain.
