The Religion OF China.

Buddhism is the principal religious
faith of the Chinese. Long as this
religion has existed, it is little under
stood by Americans. It's founder,
Buddha, was born 623 years before the
Christian era. His theory of deity
embraced a trinity, known as the
Three Precious Ones. The moral code
of the religion contains ten prohibit
tions-kl!ling stealing, lying. selling
wine, charging interest on loans,
speaking false of others, self-praise
and -back=biting. parsmony and scot
fling, uncOrrected anger and reviling
the Three Precious Ones.
The Buddhist church in Thibet has
its pope, its cardinals. it's bishops,
priests and nuns, exactly as has the
Roman Catholic church. And more,
lit has infant baptism, confirmation,
candles, sacred water and professions
The teachings Of Buddha were re-
'duced to writing SO B. C. The entire
fcanon OF the faith was compiled in
"A. ID. 400. In this Buddha is described
'as coming from heaven, being born Of
Ia virgin, welcomed by angels, re-
ceived by an old saint, presented in a
temple, baptized with water and later
by fire. He is described as astonish-
ing the doctors with his understand
ling, was later led into a wilderness,
where he was tempted by the devil,
land thereafter he went about doing
wonders and preaching. He was a
friend to the poor.
1t seems doubtful when Buddhism
was introduced into China. 1t is re-
corded. however, that in the year 60
A. ID. the emperor, HanMing I'll, had
"a vision wherein he saw a great gold
en- image around whose head was a
halo. and it was believed it meant
truth. The emperor's brother, Prince
'Tsu, having heard of Buddhism from
India. said the vision was nothing but
the great Buddha. A mission was sent
forth, which returned after some years,
bringing back a wooden image, a
counterpart of the golden one, one
book and Hindu priest.
The great temple at Pekin, called
the Yung-Ho-Kung, or the Lama
temple, is Mongol Buddhist monas-

months later she received from China
a ninety-nine year lease of the port
and district. In 1898 Russia obtained
from China a twenty-fve-year lease
of Port Arthur, Talienwan and their
adjacent territories and waters. The
lease can be extended by mutual
agreement. The same year the Chi
nese government gave permission for
Great Britain to occupy Wei-Hai-Wei
for as long a period as Russia shall
hold Port Arthur. To compensate
France for the concessions given to
Great Britain and Russia a ninety
nine-year lease was given her of the
bay of Kwang- CHAIRMAN, on the
coast opposite the island Of Hainan,
and last year two islands at the en-
trance of the bay were definitely coded
to her. Hong-Kong was coded to
Great Britain in 1S41.

Some people are given to thinking
that the Englishman's prediction for

very first American girls to catch an

Norfolk, the hall that was in former
days the seat of the Role family. In

high cheekbones, and complexion

portrait are these words, "Matoaka,

that any one of these men may not, in
the slow evolution of ages, rise to the

whites. There can, therefore, be no
doubt whatever that as a nation the
Chinese are polytheistic.

When the convention met in Chicago on
June 3, Manning's estimate was that
Cleveland would be nominated on the
third ballot.
''The debate between the New York
ers, Fellows, Bourke Cochran, Tom
Grady and John Kelly, kept the conven-
ton on a high strain, and the most no

attempt made by Tammany Hall and the
Indiana people to stampede it for Hen
bricks. The fndescribable fury which ac-
companied the effort and. the vociferous
demands of the maniacal galleries for

Every season brings certain changes in
ctiuuette-little variations in card-leaving

when the host was an important person

has long since robbed him of this I'M
pleasant prerogative, SO that he is quite
as useful, or more so, at afternoon tea
than he is at dinner.
Every invitation arrives with "Mr. and
Mrs" at the top. Why this is so is i'm
possible to say, except, perhaps, that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living
together Whatever the reason, however,
the result will doubtless be good, and
the plainest and shyest of men will have
blown out into attractive hosts under
the feeling that they are bound to show
up at their own parties and do their share
in the entertaining.

Very little music is being given at par
ties this season. Hostesses recognize that
people want to talk, and they are only
too thankful to be let alone. Introducing
has not been very fashionable; the most
popular hostess, as a rule, is she who lets
her guests find their own friends. THE
hostess who worries you," a mere man
declares, lis luckily getting unpopular,
and people only like to patronize the
salon of the chatelaine who has mastered
the great art of letting her guests alone.
The number of entertainments given in
hotels and smart restaurants is one of the
growing signs of the laziness of modern
life, and the tendency to centralize in
all things. People are thankful to be

parties in hotels saves an illimitable

whole matter is taken out of the enter

all-knowing hotel manager. The house
is not turned upside down, nor the serv
ants driven to distraction by unaccustom-

have a spice of novelty about them which
makes them very acceptable to the guests
and they give the minimum of trouble for
the hostess.
