to be preserved On the next day the
fight is renewed, and, after a cannon
ade with blessed mustard-seed and
other exorcisms, an awful demon ap-
pears whose title is "the Holy King OF
Religion" He wears the head OF
bull, a dagger in the right and the eff
figy of a human heart in the left hand.
This strange figure seems to represent
the main deity of the ancient Tibetans
when they were still in the habit OF Of
fering human sacrifices, not in etfigy,
but in reality The demon god mas
been converted by Buddha and becomes
protector of Buddhism. He is now
satisfied with human sacrifices IN ef-
figy, and the man made OF dough,
being supposed to be an enemy OF lid
ct. is surrendered to him. He dances
round the figure of the man on the
ground, stabs him, binds his feet in
snare, and at last cuts off his limbs,
Sits open his breast, takes out MS
bleeding heart, lungs and other 1ntes-
tines At this moment horde OF
monsters falls upon the remnants or
| the dismembered dOugh-man and
scatters them in all directions. The
pieces are collected again in silver
basin and the Holy King of Religion,
eating morsel, throws them up in the
air. This is the signal for the finale;
the pieces are caught and fought for
by the demons, and at last the crowd
of spectators joins the general scram-
BILE for pieces Of dough, representing
human flesh, which they either eat or
treasure up as talismans.-Open Court

Census Ten Commandments.

l. And it shall come to pass in June
that a Census of Agriculture will be
taken by the chosen men of the Nation,
who number two score and ten thou
sand.
2. Upon a parchment, yea upon
separate parchment which is called
schedule the chosen men shall write
the chief things and the little things
of the farm, and the value OF them.
3. But neither the wicked, nor the as
SCISSOR of many taxes, or the collector
thereof, shall serve with the chosen;
nor shall he look upon the returns to
know any mans property.
4. The anointed only from the census
shall lay hands on the returns ana
know the writings thereon. Whose do
eth more than this surely shall be pun
ished. Thus saith the law.
5. The chosen people of the land, the
enumerators thereof, shall, swearing
solemnly, write upon the parchment,
yea upon every parchment, the length
and breadth of every crop; verify, the
true sheckels' worth of all things upon
the farm in 1899 shall be summed up
on the blanks which the king of the
census giveth out, and they shall be
kept forever and ever in the temples al
Washington, where many nations may
behold the correct measure of the
strength of the land.
6. And all the live stock according to
age, and all the poultry, and all the
hives of bees which the husbandman
hath shall be counted, and they shall
be written in value as the law saith,
and preserved in the temples.
7. And the length and breadth of the
farm, and the value thereof and the
value of the houses and barns for
shelter thereon, and the value of the
machinery and implements and chart
written and laid forever in the temples
of truth. Thus saith the law.
8. He who leaseth land shall answer
all things to the elect like unto him
who owneth it, for the king of the CEN
sus hath said that one man shall not
be called and another left.
8. Thus saith the king of the census
to his people: "Thou shalt this day
write upon tablet all the things of the
farm and the value of them; the value
of all thou hast eaten and all that thou
hast sold and exchanged, and be ready:
for in an hour We wot not next June the
enumerator cometh. Blessed be he that
maketh full and perfect answers quick
ly."

A BOER WAR SONG.

A correspondent sends us the f)llow-
ing translation of the war-song which
was sung by the beers in their camps
during the Majuba campaign:
Leave us alone; Leave US alone!
You shall not rob us of our own;
We will be free! We will be free!
Our birthright shall our standard be-
Our fathers sweat, our fathers blood
Have soaked the ground on which
they stood;
Our mothers tears, our mothers toll
Have hallowe6 this our Afric soil.
This is our land! This is our land!
Reclaimed by our fathers hand;
Reclaimed once, we claim it now
AS made a garden by our plough.
We ask What has to us been left!
We will no longer be bereft!
For Fatherland and freedom DEAR
We die. or live and vanquish here!
