BUDDHIST SHREWDNESS.

PROBABLE Reason for the Visit to
Japan of the Lama of Thibet.
From the Boston Transcript
Buddhism in Japan may be losing It's
grip upon the people who formerly held it
as religious faith, and the lower clergy
may be dissolute and venal, but among the
higher clergy and the nobility who are still
loyal there Is still left much of that astute-
ness of the ecclesiastical sort which knows
how to utilize to the full any chance to
make capital for the religion which is re-
vered. The protest sent to this country
some months ago by the Buddhist priests
arraigning the missionaries of christenGom
for the uprising in China was very cleveriy
drafted and difficult to answer.
More recently advantage has been taken
of the visit to Japan of the Lama of the
Buddhists Of Thibet to make him the
mouthpiece of similar implications, and to
let him voice the hope that everything that
has been done by Christians from the occi-
dent in China during the past year points
to the wisdom of an alliance betwa cen Ja-
pan, China and Corea for the preservation
not only of the oriental ideals of ciyiliZa-
tion, but Of Buddhist which is the chief
thing in common between the three pso-
pies. The lama and Viscount Miura, ad-
dressing $50 Buddhist priests recently,
contended that the inferiority of Chris
tianity to Buddhism had been demonstrat-
ed by the mercy integrity and justice of
the Japanese troops during the recent war
and by the contrary qualities displayed by
the Christian powers.
That this plea will have some weight with
the masses Of the far east may be imag-
ined: and, unfortunately, the conduct OF
the armies Of several of the so-called Chris
tian powers behaved in such a way as to
make it impossible to make any deferse
of their conduct. The only hope on the
political side which can be cherished is
~
officials will have discernment to disti1-
guish between those occidental powers
whose troops were humane and those
whose troops were not, and will select
typical of the occident and the occidental
religion the better type.
Reports from China indicate that such
discrimination is being made and that the
United States stands to gain great adj
vantages, political and commercial because
of the policy outlined by Secretary Of State
Hay and carried out by Messrs. Conger and
Rockhill. The arrival of many young Chi
nese scholars recently and their assign
institutions is sign Of confidence on the
part of China, and of a return by her to
policy which, had she never departed from,
it. would have made her history during the
past generation quite different in all prob
ability If China had never withdrawn her
youth from American and European insti-
tutions of learning, If they had been re-
turning to their home land with occidental
learning and ideals as the young japanese
have been returning during the past TWEEN
ty years, Chinese relations with the outer
and the Chinese national outlook far

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Thomas Nelson Page In the Atlantic.
. Possibly the most general conception of
the old life at the south held by the rest Of
the country is that drawn from "Uncle
Toms Cabin" work which, whatever its
truth in detail-and there was doubtless
much truth--yet, by reason of it's omissions
and its grouping, contained even more un-
truth as correct picture of civilization.
AS an argument against the evils inherent
in slavery it was unanswerable; as a pres
entation of the life it undertook to mirror
it was rather piece of emotional fiction
infused with the spirit of an able and sim
cere but only partially informed partisan
than correct reflection. It served a pur-
pose far beyond the dream, and, possibly,
even the intention of it's author; it did
much to- hasten the overthrow of slavery;
1t did no less to stain the reputation of the
south and obscure what was worthy and
fine in it's life. From that time the people
Of the south were regarded, outside its own
borders, much-as shall We say, China is
regarded today ?-as one of the effete peo-
ples-as an obstacle In the path of advance
and possibly among many as an object of
righteous spoil. Is it too much to say that
the idea of the people of the south by the
people Of the north was that they were
lazy. self-indulgent and frequently cruel?
That they passed their time in the indul-
gence of their appetites, supported by the
painful labors of slaves to whose woes they
were worse than Indifferent?

O'COnuell and Massey.

Laughter has been fatal to at least
one bill in the house of commons. In
the days of O'Connell Thomas Massey,
who was a sworn foe to everything
that suggested popery, introduced a
bill to abolish the suffix "mas" from all
words in our language and to substi-
tute tide" thus converting "Christ-
mas" into "Christtide," and SO on.
When he had ended his Introductory
speech, O'Connell got up and said:
"Since the honorable member has such
an insuperable objection to the word
mas why does he not set good ex-
ample by anglicizing his own name
In that case we should be quite willing
to speak Of him as Thotlde Tidey."
The house rolled with appreciative
laughter, and Mr.. Massey never rccov-
cred sufficient courage to speak of the
bill again.

Wanted to Warn Him.

Sir Algernon West tells this story in
his "Recollections:" One day the late
Sir George Campbell, who had very
strident. loud. rasping voice, called on
Sir Algernon. who was then secretary
to Mr.. Gladstone, to talk over the land
question.
After he had been in conversation
about three minutes the Office keeper
appeared, bearing the card of an NJ. p.
who, he said, was very anxious to see
Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of we'll
known peer who was most DESTROYS to
have word with him. Again the lat
ter said he was too busy to see him
just then. In another minute the man
again came In with huge card saying
the lord mayor and sheriffs of London
wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West
very urgently in the next room.
Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George
and went out to such great dignitaries.
When he got out of the room, the office
keeper startled him by saying, 'There
amt nobody here, sir, but was afraid
q mailman had been shown in to you
by mistake, and wanted to warn you,
SIR"

the rudiments Of their business in the

There are many of these in Wisconsin

In the "sawdust towns" the small
