The Home of Buddha.

Far away on the border of Nepal,
the home of Gautama Buddha has been
discovered. Buddha lived about 500
B. c., aud was the son of the Raiah OF
Kapilavastu. A pillar, inscribed by
the Emperor Asoka in the third cen
fury b. c., marks the city's site. The
ruins are all of brick and are covered
with jungle and so extensive that their
exploration will require years. The
city was destroyed during Buddha's
lifetime. 1t was a mass of ruins in
A. D., 410, when the first Buddhist
Chinese pilgrim made his way there.
The buildings now being excavated
are older than anything known in
India heretofore.

TOLD BY THE OLD CIRCUS MAN.

A Little Trick OF the Clowns That Used
TO Please the People Nightly.
''Some Of the feats and tricks of one
sort and another performed in shows
that look so wonderful" said the old
circus man, "are really as simple as
rolling off log,if you only know how
they are done. We used to have a
clown at one time who was very
good acrobat, and he was humorous in
his antics as we'll as in his speech, and
everybody liked him. He always
wore black mustache, with the ends
neatly waxed and corkscrewed, and
one Of the funniest things he did de.
pended for its success on these waxed
ends of his mustache.
cater an unusually intricate piece
Of foolery that called for good deal
of exertion, he would pause, painting,
in the ring, and turn to the ringmas-
ter.
"'Well, I'd give dollar and a
quarter, he would say to the ring
master, for bottle of soda water.
"'Why, You shall have bottle for
nothing, the ringmaster says, and he
sends groom for bottle OF soda
water, who comes back in q minute
with bottle and glass on tray.
"'But where's the corkscrewT the
clown asks, picking up the bottle aud
holding it up clear Of the tray and
looking oil around on 1t. There's no
corkscrew.'
What's the matter with your
must ache for corkscrewT says the
ringmaster, the audience looking on
perfectly still And before you could
think, the clown would swing the bot
tie up with the cork against the point
of one end Of his mustache--he'd
practised that so that he never missed
it--and drive it on to the point, and
then in almost the same notion
there was never any halt in the action
from the beginning to the end Of the
whole thing-he'd begin, turning the
bottle on to his mustache until the
point was buried in the cork, and then
he'd give the bottle yank and pull
1t free and carry II TO his lips aud
drink, leaving the cork impaled on
the end of his mustache. He'd drink
half the soda water, toss the bottle at
the ringmaster, have the cork off his
mustache in jiffy, and toss that at
the groom standing there waiting with
the tray, and then turn cartwheel
while the whole audience doubled up
with laughter. Why, 1t used to tickle
'em half to death.
Sand it was all done in the simplest,
easiest way in the world. The two
waxed ends were really two corkscrew
tips projecting out beyond his mus.

BriEhtwOod Avenue Association
Commends His Official Course.

A well-attended meeting of the Bright
wood Avenue Citizens Associa ton was
held in Brightwood Hall last evening. At
ter the preliminary matters We're disposed
of the following business was called up and
discussed at length
The question of urging the improvement
of certain roads in the county was advo-
Gated by Mr.. Norris of the committee on
streets. roads and bridges and the i'm
prOvement of Park avenue. or road A, as
well as Morrison street from 9TH street to

was decided that they be brought to the at
tentiGn of the Commissioners. The discus
sion was participated in by Messrs John L.
Norris. Claude F. King. President N. E.
Robinson. c. c. Lancaster and others.
The question of the revision of the new
plat of street extension was brought for
ward by President Robinson, and a paper.
which had been drafted by the executive
committee of the association and forward
ed to the Commissioners in reference to the
same. was read by him and approved, with
the additional recommendation for the
elimination from the plat of east and west
streets lying between A road and Military
road from Piney Branch road westward;
also that a short parallel street north of
this and parallel to the latter, running from
14th to 10th streets, be also eliminated.
Also that the president appoint a commit
tee to urge upon the Commissioners said
changes. The discussion was taken part in
by MesSrS. Robinson, Lancaster, Stone,
Cox, Field. Nixon. Bates. Saul and King.
A resolution was offered by MIR Cox and
upnanimously adopted, setting forth that
the duties of Engineer Commissioner of
the District of Columbia have seldom, If
ever, been more satisfactorily performed
than during the past few months by Capt.
Lansing H. Beach. and these duties
have been performed without the help of
assistant engineer officers and under most
trying circumstances, to the general salts
faction of the taxpayers of the District of
Columbia and the United States. therefore
the Brightwood Avenue Citizens Associa-

the office of Engineer Commissioner by the
present able incumbent, Capt Lansing H.

be forwarded to the President of the United
States and to the Engineer Commissioner.
