Re-awakening of Buddhism.

A widespread re-awakening of
Buddhism is occurring in India. An
institute has been founded at
Colombo, Ceylon, for the purpose OF
providing thorough education in
ethics and psychology to the students
Of Buddhism. A school for,the educa-
ton of Singhalese girls has also been
established at the same place as a
means OF reaching as many as posi-.
BILE in the interests of this religion.

The death of Hon. S. c. Shurtleff
of Montpelier, removes from the bar
of the state one OF our ablest and
most successful lawyers. Mr.. Shurt-
left has conducted many important
cases in Caledonia county court and
leaves many warm friends in this
section both in and outside the legal
profession.

Prohibition.


Following is the text Of ballot to
be cast throughout Canada, Septem-
Der Goth:
"Are you in favor Of the passing of an
act prohibiting the importation, manu-
facture or sale OF spirits, wine, ale, beer,
cider, and all other alcoholic liquors for
use as beverages?
Yes. No."
Present indications are that at the
coming election the voice of the peo-
pie of the Dominion of Canada will
be raised in emphatic denunciation OF
the saloon.
Never before in the history of the
country have the temperance people
conducted so vigorous campaign
as has been conducted the past few
months. Previous measures in the
line of compromise with the liquor
evil have not been at all satisfactory,
and the demand now is that there
shall be an end of trifing with the
matter, and that especially there
shall be an end OF the governments
partnership in and approval of the
traffic by licensing it. We reached
that point in Vermont some time
ago, and as result have a prohibi-
tory law.
No one of good sense claims for
moment that the prohibitory law is
perfect success. 1t has, however,
been far more successful than high
license men are wont to represent.
The enforcement of the law has
been loose and not so effectual as it
should have been in a few places.
Many other laws fail of enforcement
in certain sections; but this is no re-
Fiction on the law. 1t is a grave
reflection on the citizens of the places
in question and on their officials.
We hear mutterings OF discomfort in
some quarters and threatened attack
on the law as it stands, at the COM
ing session of the legislature. We
cannot believe that anything more
than mere ripple will be caused by
the high-license advocates. The PEG.
pie do not want the present law re-
pealed and no fair-minded man can
for a moment doubt that our Green
Mountain state enjoys an atmosphere
OF truer purity, nobler manhood and
grander citizenship than would be
the case were we not a prohibition
state.
The Vermont Anti Saloon League
sets out in September on an organ.
lied movement for the purpose of en-
forcing present laws and to secure
better legislation. Rev. Howard H.
Russell, D. D., LID, superintendent
of the American Anti. Saloon League
and Rev. ]. c. Jackson, D. D., Ph.D.,
assistant superintendent OF the
League, introduces the work.
What we need most is the enforce
ment of the law as it stands. Local
option is questionable form OF pro.
hibition and as the example of many
towns illustrates is little short of a
farce and blind, for the benefit OF the
friends of license. We must have a
law that absolutely prohibits the sale
Of intoxicating liquors for beverages
and have that law absolutely en-.
forced. Otherwise the question can
never be settled.
A grave responsibility rests upon
every citizen Of every community in
caucus and election to vote for men
to represent them who can be de.
pended upon to take firm stand on
the side of good and pure government,
and who will never forget that what.
ever threatens the home threatens
alike the community and the state.

I of tree and not a great way from water a large powder which was the beginning of a lode of miraculous rich ness. Lower down and nearer the water was fine gold and nuggets by the bushel. twill no one find it before I get there?" half gasped MT. Heeney.
 No; 1t would stay there until MT. Heeney picked it all up Perhaps if he never came it might be found by another many years hence. He would have considerable trouble and some annoyance on the way. He should go by the Chilcoot route, though he would have close call for his life in shoot ing the White Horse Rapids but after that everything would be plain sailing.
 Certainly this was enough for MT. Heeney's dollar, and he started to get up with great fortune in the grasp of his mind.
 That appears to be an unusual for tune for the price, madam" suggested the newspaper man.
 Yes, it is rather fine" she returned, "but I've told the fortune of ten men already to-day, and it is now only ? o'clock in the afternoon, and only one of them was a failure
 "All of them struck it rich, eh?"
 Yes, only some of them struck 1t richer than others. of course, in the fortunes I told them.''
 Then you have already made s1O and your working time is only half up for the day?''
 ''Oh, more than that. You see, I've run the cards for six women already and -four of them paid me 50 cents each. You see. when I give good re- suits they are quite liberal"
 ''Is this an ordinary days run of business?"
 ..Yes; it has been that way since the Alaskan fever started. I have aver aged s20 a day for the past four months. Before that I did not make over B a day. This excitement is sort of Klondike right here for fortune tellers.''
 Have any of your patrons struck the fortunes you predicted for them?"
 Why, of course. There is ky Holtz. the letter-carrier; he made a hit. There is Walter Waller, the snake charmer and king of hobos, as he is called told him last year there was plenty of money for him in the Klondike He spent his last nickel for an outfit, and now he has returned with sS000 in cash and has a claim which he refused S10,- 900 for. He is stopping with Henry Drewes, the grocer. He will be going back in a week or so. Pat Fahey of Angels Camp struck 1t rich and has two claims on my advice.
 T am acquainted with a very small percentage of my patrons, you must know. Therefore I cannot tell how many have benefited"
 All of this served to strengthen MT. Heeney's faith in the fortune teller, and he thanked her profuSely while being shown to the door by the little girl of the house.
 But he was not altogether satisfied, so he called upon six other professional readers of the fUiure-four of whom were women and two men. At each place there was a visit from five to fif- ! teen minutes, showing that there was a regular Klondike rush in the fortune 1 telling business

There were sick dogs or course. but they were all enduring their troubles stoically, lyfng on clean straw in airy board pens, the tops or which are covered with wire netting sitting about in wide stalls in the sun shine or taking constitutionals in the adjacent yard, and all who did not feel too i'll to exert themselves greeted their medical attendant with friendly tall WagS.

Yet, being mindful of his duty he insisted upon being lifted up to personally inspect every patient which delayed Us some what on our way.

 :. Surely, that is crowding -. .' things a little but the Alaska boom has made such work nec- essary, That Is the reason it is being < done these days.
 Never in the history of shipbuilding in California has there been such ac- ttyity in the business. Every ship yard about the bay is working overtime, and fin some instances day and night, so great is tli demand for vessels to send ito. the Arctic. Of course there is a great :: ::deai of repairing and overhauling be- :. ing: done, but new vessels are being completed every few days. Over at the :: Oakland ship yard one day last week there. were five new ships on the ways
 at the same time. It is safe to say that
 this has never happened before in this
 part of the: world.
 ' At the big foundries where iron
 :slips are built work is pushed as fast as possible. but iron chips do not get
 together as rapidly as wooden ones, so that 1t is tedious work watching their growth: Wooden vessels come into ex-

 MT. Heeney, who had mined in Cali fornia in years gone by, produced a rich specimen of quartz which he had taken from the John Hite mine of Mariposa County fifteen years ago, and said:
 T want to know if there is any stuff like this in the Klondike country, and what sort of show I stand of get ting any of it. But, I suppose" he con- tinued, "you want your pay first? Whats the damages? ?"
