What the World Demands.

The world does not demand that you become great lawyer. a great Physi- clan or great merchant; but it does require that you shall so carry your- self. through life. as to uplift and not blight your fellow men, so as to help and not hinder. so as to elevate and not degrade them. It does ask that you shall not gain riches by impov- erishing those who help you to obecome wealthy. that your dollars shall be clean and not smirched with the guilt of tgying to get ahead of your com petitor by sharp practice; it d.mands that your wealth shall not be stained with the blood of widows and orphans, that you shall not lift yourself up by tearing others down.-Success.

BUDDHIST BURIALS.
Ancient Graves Recently Uncovered sn Germany Raise Question
 Among Scientists

A number of prehistoric graves il Germany were recently opened ir the presence of Prof. Virchow anC other distinguished archaeologists These gra"eS are believed to date from 1000 B. C.
 The bodies found in them, instead of being "decently laid out" were ir sitting or crouching position. A similar method of burial prevails among the Japanese Buddhists tc this day, and various conjectures have been made as to the reason for this practice, says the New York World.
 It is certainly convenient from some points of view. The hips and knees are bent sharply and the head bowed so that the chin rests on the knees. The coffin is therefore almost cublcal and can be carried conven. 1ently and without attracting atten. tiOn.
 Probably, however, the practice like most funeral customs, has a re. H2lous rather than a practical cause By some 1t is explained as symbol. ical of the contemplative attitude ot Buddha himself. who is always rep. resented in d sitting posture. Bud dhist devotees assume the same atti. tude ill meditation and prayer.
 According to another theory the bent position of the corpse is in i'm. 1tatlon of the usual position of in fants at birth. Here, too religious ideas come in, for the Buddhists re- gard death as a birth into a new in. carnation.
 This raises the question whether the ancient Germans were Buddhists 1t is possible the practice is of very great antiquity and was simply adopt ed and preserved by the Buddhists after it had been abandoned by oth. CTS. As for the connection between Germany and Japan it can only be said that the migrations of man on this planet are lost in cOniect1lre.
