Relics Of Ruddhn.

Some years ago the discovery of
an inscribed pillar erected in the third
century indicated with certainty the
site of Kapilavastu, the home of
Guatama Buddha,. who lived about 500
B. C. The ruins of this ancient city
are now covered by jungle, but are be-
ing excavated, and thus buildings more
ancient than any previously known
IN India are being brought to light.
Another discovery, also In Nepalese
territory, close to the British frontier,
Is that of brick tumulus containing
Irelies of Buddha himself. These are
fragments of bone, in decayed wood
EN- vessel, with which were found five
small vases of soapstone and very
fine bowl of rock crystal. all contain
sing gold ornaments, pearls and pre-
.cious stones, besides various objects
idelieafely wrought in crystal and
agate. The wonderful collection was
deposited in massive Golfer of sand
stone, buried under is feet Of mason
~. An inscription on one of the vases
states that the relics are those of
Bnddha, and Indicates that the tumn-
Luz was constructed about 300 B. C.-l

prinNe Of wales a Hor,e pea,er,

The prince of Wales is in the horss
trade, and he is in it to make money.
1t is doubtful whether there is more
successful horse dealer in England
than his royal highness. The other
day the prince had sale OF "a Shire
horses at Sandringhan, his country
place in Norfolk. These are an English
breed of horses fitted for the heaviest
kind of work. They may be fine an
imals, but they do not as rule bring
fancy prices. The prince got sec, 900
for his "a draught horses. One of them,
filly, brought $4,000 from Sir Blim-
dell Maple, furniture maker, who is
bravely fighting his way into society.
Mr.. Hadley, another struggling mil
lionaire, paid $1,000 Tor a dray horse.
Lord Roths&ild secured horse for
$1,000. The incident shows that the
prince knows how to turn his social
opportunities to advantage in the
horse business--N. Y. Journal.

WILL BE A COSTLY STREET.
The English Capital to Cut a New
ThOrouGhfare at Cost of
$3,5OO,OOO.

The city q London is about to un-
dertake another of those gigantic
operations which have marked its de-
velopment during the greater part of
the present century, in the opening of
a new street for the convenience of
commerce, extending from Holborn
to the Strand. 1t will be cut through
district now intersected by crooked
and narrow thoroughfares and inhab-
tied by a population of about 5000
artisans. The improvement requires
the eviction of these people from their
homes, and the London council has
agreed to rehouse them within mile
of their present quarters, so as not to
disturb their vooations. 1t is estimat-
ed that it will cost the municipality
$1,500,O00 to do this, being an average
of $1,000 for each family. The rent to
be derived from these artisans when
quartered in their new homes will rep
resent only small share of the inter
est on the capital invested, but that is
the penalty which the municipality
has been willing to assume in making
the changes involved in the main i'm
provement, which will cost $500 900.
incidentally the measure has intro
duced a curious problem into municipal
government, for in rehousing the
evicted working people employed on
the line of the new thoroughfare it has
virtually established the principle that
the municipality shall reserve a part
of the constantly expanding and high
priced areas within it, which are de-
voted to commerce and warehousing,
for the housing of the laboring people
in them, and that the
municipality must bear the difference
between what the working people can
be expected to pay for |
such accommodations and the actual
due on the basis of surround
ing land values. The experiment has
been made there on a small scale for
years past with some degree of success.
The great cities of the world have
grown during the present century as
they never grew before. Modern trav-
cling facilities, the development of
manufacturing industries and the
yrowth of commerce have steadily
irawn into them the population Of the
ural districts. As consequence
he crowding has been so great and
apid within them that many such inn
,rovements as the one which London
low contemplates making TO relieve a
'orge, which were little dreamed Of lin
he earlier part Of the century, have,

BUFFALO HERDS IN OLD DAYS.
There Is n Great Difference Between
Seeing 10000 Animals and
One Lone Bull.

Gazing on the scraggy remnants of
buffalo in an inclosure at Glen island,
q Colorado tourist in the east said:
They are buffaloes, don't dispute
that, but they are not the kind that
used to make the west look like mov-
ing sea. 1 reckon you have read a
great deal about extinct buffalo. Ten
years ago heard that the last buffalo
had been killed-the last one in cap
tivity. But the buffalo, like the Indian,
dies hard And / read about the last
Indian long before began shedding
my hair.
''There is herd of buffalo in Col
Orado that has been knocking about
for 80 years at least, and a man in that
state who has made the buffalo life
study tells me he knows of two herds.
In 1865 there was big herd in the
country known as Middle Park. AS
the country was settled by whites the
buffalo fell back. Hunters followed
that herd to Big river, but in the win
ter of 1878 the weather was so severe
that the hunters gave up the chase.
That was the great snow winter in
Colorado. The snow was so deep that
buffalo couldn't get around. That's
an actual fact. But 1t never gets too
deep for Indians. That winter band
of Indians went after the buffalo and
killed more than could be brought
away. Next spring lot of whites
went out and got the tallow from the
dead buffaloes and made money out
of it.
'The white hunters brought back
the news that the Indians had killed
every buffalo in the herd. But that
was like other buffalo stories. A few
weeks later a herd was found on the
headwaters of Troublesome river. 1t
was part of the herd which was snow
bound. White hunters killed some
of this herd and brought the meat
to market and got into trouble for
it, because there is law against kill
ing buffalo in Colorado. This law op-
crates against white man, but an
Indian can hunt and kill anything he
likes and the law never touches him.
"The last man l saw who had seen
buffaloin Colorado told me that he had
counted ten buffaioes up on the North
Park slope. That was four years ago.
Think of it! He had seen buffalo. be-
cause he had counted 'em. Ten of 'emI |
I wonder what he would "a thought
IL he had seen 10000 in a herd. And
can remember the time when it took
10000 to make herd. But never
again win any man see such a herd.
When buffalo herds get scattered they
don't even multiply."-N. Y. Sun.
