SUN WORSHIP AND SACRIFICE
The First Thing Buddha Did was 20
Forbid the Latter.

Il think" said Raja Sivaprasad IN
the Nineteenth Century, that cur

both the Persians and the Hindus. ]
have even seen animals as the sun
rises gaze on 1t with awe, which Is per-
haps the first beginning Of this feeling
OF reverence for the source OF light.
The Vedas are full OF sun worship
But the priests OF the Hindus gave VI
the simple, direct worship of the sun.
and brought in by way of sun offer
ings animal sacrifices consumed by
hre, for they looked upon fire as part
OF the sun. In course of time people
began to think and to question with
regard to this sacrifcial worship. Then
came Buddha, and Buddha, being a
good and great man, when he saw the
animals Threats cut, thought: How
can good possibly come of doing evilT
And the first thing he did was to for
bid sacrifice and say: Not hurt any
creature is the best virtue Buddha
went out from his home and medi-
tated. Then he came back to Benares,
and at Sarnath argued with the Brah-
mans, who justified their sacrifices on
the authority Of the Vedas. But Bud
dha said: What are the Vedas but the
work Of munis and rishis? There is
nothing supernatural about them
And so the great schism arose, Bud
dha against the Brahmans and the
Brahmans against him. Many of the
raJas and maharajas came and heard
him and were converted, till at last
Buddhism was in the ascendant, for We
have in India a saying, AS is the king.
so are the people Then came King
Vikramaditya, in whose honor a new
era was founded, reckoning by which
we are now this was in 1921 in the
year 1S49. King Vikramaditya was a
Kshatriya, and believed in Brahman-
ism, and with his reign Brahmanism
and Vedic religion began to revive.
After many centuries appeared Sanka-
racharya, Brahman, who undertook
to prosecute and drive out the Bud
dhists. He said: These people do not
believe in a Creator. How can they
possibly be tolerated. And he drove
them out, and re-established the Vedic
religion. BY this time the disapproval
of animal sacrifice had become firmly
rooted. And as sacrifices were enjoined
in the Vedas, Sankaracharya got over
the difficulty by saying that it was
only in the golden age, when the ami
mails slaughtered could be restored to
lifer that sacrifices were required;
there was no need to sacrifice now.
To this day animal sacrifice is dis
pensed with among the majority Of the
Hindus. although not so among the
kshatriyas and among many of the
Sudras."

EpEE TO EVERYBODY.

The microscope and chemical analy-
sis have proved beyond the question OF
a doubt the presence Of disease germs
in the kcod, differing In shape and
appearance, according to the nature of
the disease. Anything relating to
their presence, or, better still. their
removal is consequently Of interest to
our readers and we therefore call at
tention to a very interesting little
book, recently published by NJ. R.
Zaegel & Company, in which the au-
thor clearly demonstrates the cause
of these little enemies Of mankind, and
gives a practical home treatment by
which, without impairing the health OF
the smallest child, they can be re-
moved from the system. AS this book

of this paper, together with a free
sample OF enough roots and herbs for
two weeks home treatment, we advise
all to make application at once by
writing to NJ. r. Zaegel & Co.. P. o. Box

letter one two-cent stamp to pay the
postage on the free sample. Following

Senator Aldrich, in discussing the
gold standard bill from the Republican
standpoint, uttered the following re-
markable thought:
No sane man believed for an in
slant that the opening of our minis to
the free coinage of silver at the ration
Of 16 to 1 would raise the value of sill
yer bullion from its current CONNER
cial price to its mint price"
When 1t comes to value" there is
no intrinsic value of any kind Of bull
lion converted into money, not even
gold. In trust circles the value" of
a thing is the price that can be OBJ
tanned for 1t. So the vhole of the
senator's argument amounts to the Gu
rious superstition that, with silver bull
lion raised to $1.29 per ounce at the
mint. people would still sell their silver
bullion at 60 cents. This is what the
silver producer is now uoing, and II
is what the Democratic party protests
against. II 1t be insanity to desire an
advance In the price of our most val
liable product, then the sooner we all
become insane the better for the coun-
try.

OUR NAVY,

w. r. Hearst, the former editor Of
the New York Journal, has written an
able editorial designed to show the
need Of large navy. He assumes that
we cannot avoid raising a navy to
equal to whip Great Britain. He makes
q speciality of our lake cities. He thinks
some 800 gunboats and torpedo boats
could be sent into the lakes through
Canadian canals before We were up in
the morning, to demolish Chicago and
other lake cities. This is somewhat
feverish. 1t supposes that we must be
taken by surprise. 1t presumes we are
Of no account along our borders, for
preparation or retaliation. What
would such a feet do with our forces
occupying any Of the riparian Cana
dian borders? Great Britain does not
throw away fleets that way, certainly
not all she has Of any one class.

Several hundred thousands Of Amer.

Several hundred thousands OF Amer
leans find the American Monthly Re-
view of Reviews very useful and help
full reading. In the political year it
becomes fairly necessary. In no presi-
Dental year will this be more true
than in 1900, with the many import
ant problems created by the country's
new colonial duties. In DR.. Shaw's
editorial survey of the month, in the
timely contributed features. in the de-
partments reviewing the other maya

finds each month a full and accurate
presentation OF the political news,
with able discussions of the economic
and social questions which are inter
esting everybody. The authoritative
character-sketches Of the presidential
candidates and other notable figures
appear at the hour when public inter-
est Is greatest in these subjects. The
portrayal Of current history in the best
caricatures of each month Is not the
least attractive Of these many helps

opens a school for few days. Each
county has the privilege Of sending
one girl to study cooking and other
items Of domestic economy under the
instruction Of experts. These young
women are supposed to carry the light
back to their homes and neighbor-
hoods. Besides these are subsidiary
clubs in counties and townships. where

Newspaper Notes.

The new year starts off with MANY
signs of prosperity in the newspaper
world and we congratulate our con-
temporaries on their evidences of
growth and increased business. The
Swanton Courier, now owned by
Carl c. Fletcher. a former resident of
this town, is enlarged by nearly three
pages and Mr., Fletcher says that
this growth is only commensurate
with the growth of Swanton which
is growing faster than most towns
in the state.
Another Franklin county paper to
enlarge Jan. 1 was the st. Adams
Messenger which now appears as an
eight page journal. Editor Greene
has put lots Of life into this paper
and it now ranks among the first in
the state.
Editor Whitney, of the Mortified
News modestly announces that his
paper has entered upon its 22d
volume and distributes with the
opening of the new century a cal
endar containing a map of Vermont.

A Sample of Georgia Justice.

The state of Georgia distinguished
itself a few days ago by very heart
less and unchristian act, one that
perhaps could have taken place no.
where in the civilized world but in
the United States. Bishop Henry M.
Turner, the senior bishop Of a great
branch Of the christian church was
stricken with paralysis while preach
ing in Savannah. Bishop Turner is
a highly cultivated gentleman. He
has tre yelled in nearly all the foreign
countries, has been entertained by
British royalty, breakfasted with
Gladstone, been the guest of the
Queen of Spain, has preached in
scores OF white pulpits in the South
and is greatly admired and esteemed
for his great worth. Yet when he
asked to be permitted to ride in a
sleeping car from savannah 10 At
lanta, was refused, because he was
born a negro. The officials Of this
Georgia railroad told this almost
helpless sick man, that the rules of
the road would not allow him a
berth in the sleeping car. Through
it all Bishop Turner acted like a true
gentleman. Without
murmur or complaint he was carried
in his helplessness into the ill-venti-
lated, crowded common car. He
was sustained by the fact that he
could be great in soul, though treat
ed with such injustice by his fellow
men.
