There are many regions where good

a fertile acre for their own uses-this
the whirling mill now makes possible.
There are almost as many different

homemade, though manufacturers de-

scholars, who recognized prominently
among the figures of the embroidery
the five-toed dragon and the seal Of
Emperor Kwang Su. AS no one but
persons of royalty are permitted to
adore their garments with such figures

can decorate his clothing with his
seal, there is little doubt as to whom
the garment belonged before the Box

Where Applause. ia Regulated.

The audiences in Russian theatres
are strictly forbidden to applaud. The
audiences in the theatres OF Japan are
not permitted to applaud until they
receive the cue from the stage, on
the prompting of the manager.
The first-nighters in the theatres OF
ancient Rome were much more pune
tilious in the matter of applause than
modern audiences are. When the Ro-
man theatre goers were fairly well
satisfied with a play they applauded
by swapping with the thumb and mid
die finger If they wanted the actors
to understand that they were really
satisfied with the performance they
clapped loudly by beating the left fin
gers on the right hand A more hearty
token of approval was given by strik-
ing the fiat palms of the hands against
each other.
At the two imperial theatres in
Vienna, tde Opera and the Burg, ap-
plause is not allowed until the con-
clusion of an act, and encores are
strictly prohibited.

A bill is now pending in the Illinois
legislature appropriating $4,000 for the
erection OF a monument to the victims
of the battle of Stillman's Run,
against the Black Hawk Indians, in
1892. The place is situated in Ogle
county. The fight, if gagged by num-
bers killed, or even engaged, was in
significant, but If measured by the eff
iect 1t had far-reaching influence upon
the then future of Illinois.
The battle of Stillman's Run was the
opening event in the Black Hawk war
and was sealed with the lives of IL
white men. The whole State of Illi-
nois was ablaze within few days, and
thousands volunteered for active SER
vice in crushing the Indians, whose
presence continually terrorized the
white settlers. 1t was here Abraham

But the commOnest types are those

they are inseparable features of every
landscape out West. In any town
thirty or forty may be counted; in the
country twenty or thirty mills are Of
ten in view at one time.
And still the development of the
windmill goes on. In some places the
energy generated is transmitted long
distances, from field to field and over
hills.
During the windy hours of the day
the surplus energy Of the wind is bot
tled-that is to say, the windmill COM
presses the air into stout iron cylin-
ders, from which it may be drawn off
when desired.
The windmill enthusiasts of the
West are pointing to the fact that in
many countries old and advanced iD
the arts the use Of the windmill is un~
known, water is raised by hand, grain
is ground by horse power, water power
or hand, machinery is driven in much
the same way, while the wind. with
all its potential energy, is neglected.
In this matter of windmills the pro-
cressive Western States lead the world.

The belief current in some parts Of
Christendom that Buddhism is ALREADY
far advanced in a state of decadence
is not borne out by the facts. Accord
ing to the most reliable authority the
followers of Buddha still number no
less than $4,000, and while Christian
missionaries have undoubtedly made
very notable conversions among them,
the number thus actually withdrawn
from the more ancient faith has been
SO small as to hardly affect the total.
In Japan and other parts of the far
east a concerted effort has been made
during the past year to revive and
strengthen Buddhism by adopting
some OF the methods OF propagandism
followed by the Christian sects. These
include the organization of Sunday
schools and Sunday lecture courses,
the free distribution of religious tracts
and the sending out of corps of mis-
sionary teachers and preachers. In ia
pan an enormous fund is being raised
by a Buddhist temple to establish
orphanages and other benevolent insti-
tutions after the manner of those cors

dom's royal house, who has abdicated
in favor of his younger brother, in
order that he may the more complete
ly give himself up to scientific pur-
suits. By rigid devotion to the study
of medicine, and, in particular, the
science of ophthalmology, he has at
tanned such rank in his profession that
his clinics are known to scientific
men all over the world. These elm
les are conducted irrespective of finan-
cial considerations, and any worthy
man can have the benefit Of the ducal
doctors skill and knowledge without
cost.
1t was the Franco-Prussian war that
first turned the dukes mind to the
profession of a physician. He took
an active part in many of the battles,
and became particularly interested in
the hospital service and at the close
of the war he announced his inten-
tion of studying medicine. Naturally
this resolve aroused much opposition
IN his family. The strongest pressure
was brought to bear upon him, but he
was steadfast. Willingly foregoing his
political rights. he entered the clinic
Of distinguished Russian professor
at Mentone, whittier he had gone for
his health. Thereafter he assisted at
various clinics in Vienna, in all OF
which he was noted for his indefatig-
able industry and patience, and whole
souled devotion to his work. Eventu-
ally he became an Independent opera
tor in eye surgery, in which branch
he soon gained high reputation.
Having given his time, the duke
now set about giving his money to
his profession. On Lake Tegernsee
at the foot of the Bavarian Alps, he
built and endowed a large hospital. In
this building is maintained one Of the
dukes famous ophthalmic clinics, to
which the afflicted gather from far
and near. At Munich, Merane, in Aus
tria, and near Mentone, he established
other clinics, spending part of the year
at each. But it is the hospital on the
Bavarian lake that he loves the best,
and there most of his time is spent.
