FAITH CURE IN JAPAN.
A Buddhist Sect That Believes Not in
 Medicine, But in Prayer.

A Buddhist Sect That Believes Not in
 Medicine, But in Prayer.
 Faith cure as a remedy for the ills of the flesh is by no means confined to Christendom. In Japan one of the nu- merous sects of the Buddhists has as it's distinguishing article of faith that all human ills may be cured by prayer.
 This sect and it's belief were the topic of discussion before a meeting of the Asiatic Society of Japan at Tokio in the latter part of March, and what was said on that occasion is printed in the last Transactions of the society.
 The gist of the addresses was to the effect that the believers are firmly con- vinced that they know by experience of many marvels wrought by the exercise of their faith. They say, therefore, not only that their faith is true, but also that they have thousands of indubita- ble proofs of it's truth.
 In their form of Buddhism much less stress is laid upon future life than upon the necessity of faith in order to secure ease, health and happiness in the present world.
 The sect was founded by a man named Yanagita, born in 179S, whose character was simple and studious, who spent most of his long life in the service of religion. He died in 1877. Early in his religious work he claimed to have attained to the certain knowl- edge that all good things were the re- ward of faith.
 One day he met a woman named Shi- mamura Mitsu who suffered from a malady apparently incurable, but was restored to health by his prayers. She became his disciple and together they carried on a regular propaganda of their religion.
 A great temple was built at Kokura as the abiding center for the faith; and after Yanagita's death the woman went | to .Tokio to spread her doctrines; and | in the later years of her life she wrong l ly pretended to be. the founder of the l faith.
 1 The followers of this faith call them- | selves by name, meaning Lotus Gate 1 teaching. They adopted this name, as l they say, because just as the lotus rooted in mud, attains to spotless puri- | ty, so those who follow the faith of the Lotus Gate attain to purity in the midst of an evil world.
 Charges of immortality and other evi deeds have been brought against this sect and some of them appear to pe true. The teachers of the faith from this woman, Shimamura Mitsu, down ward have been ignorant persons whose ignorance is not counterbalancet
 by superior sanctity.
 The sale of charms is great source of profit to the sect. Prayer should al
 ways be made through priest, ant

A ROYAL BTJRYING-PLAcE

The place of sepulture at the Church of Notre Dame de Lacken dates from the reign of Leopold l., who, though he wished himself to be buried at Windsor beside his first wife, intended it to be the St. Denis of the Leopoldine dynas- ty. I never saw more forbidding place than the crypt where he and his wife, their eldest son and grandson, and a baby aphine-lie. The damp speedily rots everything, and fungi spring out of the soft stone of the
 walls. A purple velvet state robe, with a gilt crown and sceptre (both in wood) !, are placed on the tomb of Leopold
 Anything more hideous than this royal
 garment when, by an almost unhtard-
 of favor, I visited the crypt, cannot imagine. Rats had gnawed the .ermine
 border, and moths somehow. were able to lay eggs in the fur which had nearly
 disappeared. What was floral in the wreaths-mostly artifcial-had routed
 away, and the wire forms made a huge,
 ugly pile at the foot of the tomb. A veil of crape, as sordid-looking as the
 other properties, shrouded the crown and sceptre. Ends of broad ribbons that had tied the wreaths fell untidily from the wire forms. They bore such inscriptions as. "To Leopold l., Father of our Country; "The Belgians resid- ing abroad in grateful remembrance of King Leopold"; "in memory of our ,, wise King; Testimonial of eternal l gratitude" Eternal is a big word. A very small period of time sufficed to
 snuff out the remembrance of poor old Leopold and his brown wig. Queen Victoria, in one of her halts at Lacken,
 descended to her uncle's mausoleum and ', felt shocked at the oblivion into which
 he had fallen.-Paris Correspondence of I the London Truth.

 taken examinations, while the average for men is 40 pei cent. Nearly all pro-

 great sons. Women at the universities, at least, have vast influence in civili- zing the men there, and for this poor 1 reason, if not for others, they should be
 kept there. The old savagery of male
 pride is evident in the matter. and all

there are fixed charges for priestly in- tercession.
 The special assertion made by the priests is that diseases, whatever their nature, are healed summarily in re- sponse to prayer. On the ethical side the teaching of the sect is essentially the popularized Confucianism
 The priests have at their tongues end many hundreds of stories of alleged miracles wrought as result of the prayers of the faithful. They tell, for example, of the case of poor lunatic in Osaka who was instantly cured af- ter many years of torment to herself and wretchedness to her family.
 The sect is large, but, in the opinion of the gentlemen who described it. there are unmistakable signs of decay One gentleman expressed the view that such superstition as this sect involves cannot much longer withstand the com- | mon school and the public press.

Joe Beardslee, ST., who has been a
citizen Of this city for number of
years. He came to this city about
four years ago from Moss Point, where
he had resided for several years and
was identified with the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad Before that he
was with the East Tennessee, Nir-
ginia and Georgia road, with head
quarters at Demopolis, where he re-
sided with his family for number Of
years Then he moevd to Moss Point,
from which place he moved to this
city.
Yesterday while sitting in the hall
Of the Elks' lodge he tottered, fell
over and in a few minutes was dead.
1t was one Of the saddest deaths that
has occurred in this city for a number
of years because it was so sudden and
owing to the prominence Of the gen

Up to yesterday Mr.. Beardslee ap- /

man in the city In fact it was said
by his friends thar he was not only
in good health, but was more cheerful

Children at Angola.

Monday morning large number of chill
dren, ready for two weeks outing, gath
cred at the Union Station. II was one of
the many crowds which have been sent out
during the past three summers by the
Children's Outing Organization, conducted
by the young peoples societies of the city
churches. Mr.. Hoff. who superintends this
work, had chartered a car to take the chill
dren TO Angola, the beautiful county seat of
Steuben county.
1t was a long journey, but what a great
event for some of the little ones, The An
COLA Band, which was awaiting the arrival
of the train, began to play as the train
slowed up and then it seemed that the en-
tire place had turned out to welcome the
children. Headed by the band the children
formed in procession and marched to the
NJ. r. Church. where the pastor, the Rev.
A G.. Neal assisted Mr. Hoff i'm assigning
the little ones to different homes.
Those who were in charge of the ex-
cursion will not soon forget the hospitality
and kindness of the people of Angola A
great many more children would have been
gladly accommodated. After the children
were all provided for the adult members
of the party were entertained by the Rev
Neal and by Mrs. s. +. Arnold. A more de-
lightful place for the children has never
been opened to the organization.

Hints for summer visits.

Never exceed, on any pretense. the origi-
nal length of your visit-it is never sue
cess.
Always leave by a train soon after
breakfast. unless specially pressed by your
host and hostess to go at some other time
for their convenience.
Never express a wish of your own about
any arrangements. Always fall in de-
lightedly with any plans that are made for
your enjoyment.
Never wear an old black satin skirt on
Sunday evening. or, indeed, a black dress
at ALL if you can possibly help it-you will
find all the other visitors do and you will
regret 1t.
Never alter the original date of your
visit 1t will put the whole party out, and
is sure greatly to inconvenience your
hostess and her arrangements.
Never arrive for a visit an bicycle. You
will either arrive before your luggage,
drenched to the skin, or, very hot and
dusty, plunge into the middle of a smart
house party and be miserable.
If you have any fads at home about
baked chips of bread" for breakfast, spe-
cial aerated waters, milk foods at night
sandwiches with your tea, etc, never ask
d etOnner Festomac quelquefois, and to
change your home ways for a while is one
of the special benefits of a visit.
Always insist on paying for your own
cab from the station, and do not let 1t be
put down in your hosts bill: he never likes
il, though he may pretend that he does.
If on a drive do not keep asking TO get
out or have the carriage stopped TO take
snapshot photos. This irritates some peo-
pie very much, indeed-and is never worth
