WISE OR OTHERWISE.

A Young mans best girl is never too
good to be true.
A loafer never allows himself to get
out Of practice.
The man who pays as he goes
sometimes goes broke.
Most things come to those who
hustle while they wait.
Contentment is the feeling that
things might be worse.
Two heads may be better than one,
but not in the same family.
The funniest thing about some folks
Is their efforts to be funny.
The individual who repeats slander
stamps it with his approval.
Poverty may be blessing, but only
when it clings to our enemies.
The more a man tries to prove that
lie isn't fool the more he proves he

1t makes a great difference whether

1t is easier for man to forgive his
enemies than 1t Is to forgive his

A MINNESOTA FARMER
Does Well In Western Canada.
Virden, Man, Nov. Is, is.

Virden, Man, Nov. Is, 1899.
Hon. Clifford Sfton, Minister OF the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada--Sir: Think
ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my fellow-countrymen in the United
States who may be looking to Mani
toba and the northwest with the IN
tention of settling there, l have much
pleasure in stating that through IN
formation received from Mr.. w. r.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, | was indaced TO Visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc, in his possession, the result OF
which was that | came here with
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board OF
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and,
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, had no difficulty IN
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land office IN
Brandon, l returned to my home IN
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came PACK
here in May following, accompanied
by one of my boys, bringing with US
two teams of horses, implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect temp }
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leyeled seventy-nVe
acres and put up thirty tons OF hay.
l went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. l returned
in October, bringing my family with
me. | found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
q strong clay loan with clay subsoll.
Last spring | sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley.
(Seventy-five acres of this grain was
sowed on "go-baCk" plowed last
spring. My crop was thrashed In
October, the result being over 2,7OO
bushels of grain in ali. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. l hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back') went twenty four and One-half
bushels per acre.
To say that / am we'll pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
cuately express my feelings, and l
nave no hesitation III ADVISING LIlOoO
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, II
they are willing to do a fair amount
CT work. l am tn miles from Virden,
which is a good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave. where there are
two elevators. This summer | erected
a dwelling house OF native stone and
bought half-section of land adjoin-
| ing our homesteads, for which | paid
a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
| from the Canadian Pacific Railway
company at $3.50 per acre on liberal
| terms. Good water is generally found
at a depth of from fifteen to twenty
| feet. l have 175 acres ready for crop
next year
The cost of living here is about the
same as in southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and Others
lower in price, but the average IL

SUN WORSHIP AND SACRIFICE.
The First Thing Buddhn Did Was to
Forbid the Latter.


'I thinl said Raja Sivaprasad in
the Nineteenth Century. that sun
worship was the original worship of
both the Persians and the Hindus. l
have even seen animals as the sun
risls gaze on it with awe, which is per-
haps the first baginnirg OF this feeling
OF reverence for the source Of light.
The Vedas are full of sun worship.
But the priests Of the H.ndus gave up
the simple. direct worship of the sun.
and brought in by way of sun offer.
ings animal sacrifices consumed by
fire, 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 saclifcial worship. Then
came Buddba, and Buddha, being a
good and great man, when he saw the
animals throats cut, thought: How
can good possibly come Of doing evil?'
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 I'D: 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
| VikTamaditya, in whose honor a new
era was founded, reckoning by which
we are now [this was in 1922 in the
| year 1949. 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, a Brahman, who undertook
! to persecute and drive out the Bud
dhists. He said: These people do not
| believe in Creator. How can they
possibly be tolerated.? And he drove
them out, and re-established the VediC
religion. By this time the dfsapproval
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 tc
life, 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 thu
| Sudras."
