TRADE HINTS FROM OUR
CONSULS ABROAD.

PROPOSED UNITED STATES SWISS
ALLIANCE. United States Consul
Richard Guenther writes from
Frankfort:
According 10 the Swiss press,
the protective tariffs OF European
countries exclude the products oil
Switzerland, whose industries find
support only IN free trade England.
The proposition, mooted in some
quarters, to create a tariff union
between Great Britain and her COL
onies IS regarded with apprehen-
sion. Such action, it IS said, would
involve Switzerland in industrial
ruin. Statesmen are inclined to
seek for an alliance OF Switzerland
with some foreign country. In
this connection, the ALgeMciNe
SckzyeiSer ZestHRg suggests the
United States. 1t says:
in spite Of dark sides which are
also found there, the United States
is iull Of the air Of freedom. Switz.
erland would lose nothing If she
should become a State OF the
United States OF America. 1t is a
well known fact that the several
States OF the American Union are
mu n more independent than the
several Cantons OF Switzerland,
and our country, by such an ALI.
ance, would sacrifice none oil her
Liberties. All she would have to
do would be to send her represen-
tatives to Washington Econo.
mically and politically she would
gam everything.
at remains to be seen what the
Americans would say about an
alliance with Switzerland. For a
long time, they have tried to gain
a ioothold in Europe. Every cit.
izen OF Switzerland. who has the
welfare Of his country at heart,
should ponder this alliance"

WHAT CAUSED THE HOT SPELL.
Ordinary folk, including the hum
bic man in the street. II asked
why he had to suffer from such
hot weather a few days ago, might
be tempted to reply, Because 1t
was the season for warm weather,
or some such trivial answer OF the
kind. Science, however, likes
something more precise, and a
celebrated French philosopher,
Able Moreux, considers he has
discovered the "head and front Of
the offending" as it were, in
large sunspot, which he observed
through the big Paris telescope.
The able has for the past IL years
devoted himself exclusively to the
study of these spots on the suns
surface, the origin Of which has
been so long a subject OF discus
sion; and now propounds the
theory that they are not so much
centres OF atmospheric disturbance
in the suns atmosphere as in
tensely heated parts oi the surface,
which, when they come opposite
to us, 60 ne7r toward roasting US
to death.
The term "Spot" is perhaps not
as expressive as might be, the
"spot observed by Abbe Moreux
being estimated to have a diam
eter Of about IS 900 miles, though
In comparison with the enormous
surface Of the sun, this IS a mere
nothing. 1t IS principally owing
TO an observation oil the sun spots
that the rotation e the sun on its
axis has been inferred, Just as the
earth revolyes. The spots may be
seen slo Wy travelling across the
suns disc until they disappear, re-
appearing about two weeks later
on the side from which they
started.

1t is not generally known why the
Chinese object to conversion by
foreign missionaries. Their chief
reason is that they are convinced
that they have a pretty good relig-
ion Of their own. No country has
had so much Misrepresentation as
has China. In future years, when
the struggle now going on there
shall have thrown the great Chin
ese Empire open to inspection, 1t
will be ound that the Chinese as
a race are a very fair lot OF human
beings, Thsre is a good reason
for their hatred and suspicion OF
all foreigners. They are afraid OF
the disruption and disintegration
Of their country.
There is great doubt as to the
actual time Buddhism was intro.
duced into China. In the year A.
d. 63, however, as is pretty gener-
ally accepted, the Emperor Hau
Wing Ii had a vision in which he
saw a great golden image, whose
head was surrounded with a halo,
which was co strued as to mean
Truth. Prince Tsue, the Emperor's
brother, having heard OF Buddhism
from India, declared the vision to
be nothing but the great Buddha.
ThereUpon a mission was des-
patched, which after some years
returned with a wooden image, a
counterpart of the golden one,
also one book and Hindoo priest.
Tue Llama Temple, which is the
great temple at Peking, and called
the Yung- Ho- Kong, is a Mongol
Buddhist monastery, in which
there are about 1900 priests.
Under control OF a Gagan, or living
Buddha, the dogmas OF Buddhism
are taught. Metaphysics, ascetic
duties, astrologY and medicine
comprise the course OF instruction.

CHINESE BUDDHISM. -Buddha
was born, according to Chinese
tradition, Gag years before Christ.
The Buddhist religion embraces a
trinity known as the Three Prec-
ious Ones, viz, Buddha, the past;
DhaTma, the present, and the Lord,
and Lenga, the future and the
priesthood. There are 10 prohibi-
tiohs in the moral code killing,
stealing, adultery, lying, selling
wine, speaking false Of others, self.
praise and backbiting, Uarsimony
and scoffing, uncorrected anger,
and reViling the Three Precious
Beings. In the year % b. c. the
teachings OF Buddha were put in
writing. In A. d. 400 the entire
canon Of iaith was compiled, des-
cTibing Buddha as emerging from
heaven, as being born Of virgin,
welcomed bV angels, received by
an aged saint and presented in
temple after having been baptized
with water and later with FIRE. He
is described as having astonished
the wise men with his understand
ing. Later he was led into cap
tiVity, where he was tempted by
the devil, and alterward went about
preaching and performing wonders
A friend ofthe poor, he was trans
figured on a mount, was sent into
hell. but finally assembled 10
heaven. In Thibet, the Buddhist
Church is located, where it has its
pope, cardinals, priests, bishops
and nuns, jIst the same as the
Roman Catholic Church, also in
iant baptism, confirmation, masses
tor the dead, professions, Tosaries,
sacred water, candles and chaplets.

Most newspapers are familiar with
the man who "takes more papers than
be can read" He takes paper print
ed at Augusta, Me-, which contains
all the news OF the Smuegler's Last
Crulse," 1.-THE Bandit King" etc.
And while storing his mind with such
information, his wife and children go
to the neighbOrs to read the local pa.
per. and when they return hubby is
red hot to learn the news. But let
him get into trouble and be rushes to
the local newspaper to get him out.
II his wife or baby dies he wants a
column obituary, and II his son or
daughter gets married he wants a
lengthy write-up Of the affair with

Yet he is taking SO many papers"
that lie cannot afford to become reg

"Faint heart never won fair lady,"
and the man who has braved such suf-
fering, as is rec0unted below by the
New Orleans States, to win the heart
and hand OF the young lady he adores
is certainly deserving OF his reward
"A bow-legged young man OF Indian.
arolis, handsome, wealthy and twen-
ty-ave years OF age, was ia love with a
young lady who objected to his legs.
He went to the St. JOseph's hospital,
at Logansport, and asked the physi-
clans to break his legs and straighten
them. A surgeon consented. The
skin and flesh were cut at the points
where the breaks we're desired and the
bones notched around with chisel,
after which they were easily snapped
in two and the limbs placed in plaster
