The Buddhists believe that happi-
ness, NirYana, consists in self efface-
ment. oblivion. The young Buddhas
began life by sitting unsupported in
the air just after birth. Their mothers
attained Nirvana Immediately. and
they, the Buddhas, reached Nlrvana In
various queer ways.
One earnest Buddha, one Of the earli-
est of the long line, earned the -NIbbu-
ia" as follows:
A hawk was about to devOur a small
bird. Said the Buddha to the bird Of
prey:
al beseech thee, leave this little crea-
ture in peace. will give thee its
weight from my own flesh"
Down from heaven came a pair Of
scales, and the transaction was accom-
plished. The small bird sat on one side
of the scales, and the Buddha began
putting slices Of his body into the other
side, while the bird Of prey looked on
with an evil eye. AS the Buddha carv-
ed himself up the little bird seemed to
get heavier and heavier. The beam Of
the scales did not move until the last
particle Of the saints body was put in
the scales.
The Buddhists' legends do not tell
how the saint managed to carve up his
last few fragments. but that is not I'm

"THE ROYAL Box TONIGHT.
Our theatres oers are to be fovored
with one Of the biggest attractions that

son. Those who saw 1.-THE Royal Box"
in New York three years ago. and those
who have followed its career since that
time will be pleased to know that it is %
be seen at the Grand tonight
The play has been rated by the critics
of the principal newspapers Of America
as one of the greatest Of its kind ever
seen on this continent. It is a play
dealing with stage life, and dramas Of
this character and of any note are com.
parat vely few in number. David

lawney of the Wells is one Of the most
recent successes of this character.
Plays within plays have been fairly
numerous since Shakespeare wrote
Hamlet" and therein introduced the
idea. Both Of these devices were made
use of by Alexander Dumas in 1.-The
Royal Box and were forciblv brought
out by Mr.. Coghlan with daring origin
atty. The real audience will impersOE- :
ate the supposed audience Of the play
within the play. The Prince Of Wales
and his friends occupy enc of the real
boxes, which decorated with the Royal
Coat of Arms, is supposed to be the
Royal Box at Drury Lane Theatre, Lon
don, 1910. The Drury Lane manager
comes before the real curtain, and an
nounces that although the leading char
acter is indisposed he will, nevertheless,
endeavor to please his audience. The
curtain rises on the balcony scene in
Romeo and Juliet " The Romeo adj
dresses Juliet but thinks Of the occn-
pants of the Royal Box-the countess
whom he loves, and the Pr Ice of whom
he is Jealous. Ultimately he casts aside
the role of Romeo, and in his own per-
son denounces the royal profigate to the
public, bringing the curtain down IN
confusion. Mr.. Andrew Robson who
plays the part of the actor, although
young man, has already appeared in two
hundred different roles. He was with
Mr.. COghlan and succeeded that famous
actor in the great part. A company Of
allround excellence has been chosen to
support him and the piece will be given
all the careful attention to detail which
has characterized it from the time Mr..
CoghIan first presented it.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison, one
of the ablest nen who have figured in
our public life, has always been handi-
capped by his unresponsive, cold manner.
When he was in the Senate, at Wash

ways brought his luncheon to Che COM
mittee room. He carried it in his coat
pocket, and would eat it while he went
ON with his work. One day when he
got it out as usual from his pocket, he
looked it all over ruefully, for it did
look rather fat and dubious. He finally
remarked to those near by that he CUES
sed he must have sat on it accidental

recently been ignored by Harrison
spoke up impulsivey: "Well, by Jove,
Harrison, if you've sat on it, I'll bet a
eixpence it is frozen solid;" and of
course a shout went up from the whole
committee. Harrison took the joke
kindly, and joined in the laugh.
