Poor Actresses Costumes.

In Germany there is society for the
relief of needy actresses. AS ordinary
actresses have to supply their own cos

those who are poor to obtain good en-

started a society for their benefit.
The society Is now in it's second year.

for costumes has been much larger
than the supply, but this condition has

diamonds, although long practiced in

CHAPTER XXI.

Three months have come and gone.
Great changes have these three months
brought. They have unhoused Seaton
Dysart and given his Inheritance into the
hands. the most unwilling hands, of his
cousin. Hands too small to WELD so
large a scepter.
But Mr.. Pcyton has nobly come to her
rescue. 1t is to him that most of the
innovations owe their birth. The hand

story palace and never comes forth
again. A bell announces to the world
that the Grand Lama is installed in the
sacred chamber. This enthronement
Is accompanied by ceremonies so
strange and elaborate that 1t would re-
quire volumes to describe them. Each
one Of the nine stories Is the scene of
some symbolical and mysterious per-
Torrance. The Tibetans say that the
wealth Of the Grand Lama in Potala
Is ten times that of the rest of the
world put together Outside Lhasa is
the sacred grazing ground, where 300
brood mares feed, from whose milk
fermented liquor is prepared for the
Grand Lama. A great temple of Lhasa
contains the greatest image In the
world. called the Jo-No. representing
Buddha. 1t is 100 feet high, rises up
through four stories and is covered
with jewels.
About one-third of the population Of
Tibet consists of lamas. who dwell in
lamaseries, or Buddhist mOnasteries.
They possess practically all the wealth
The lamaseries are situated in the most
fantastic places. some on the tops of
mountains, others on the sides Of them,
hanging over precipices so that one
can only reach them by ropes. The no
bic philosophy of Buddhism Is almost
perstitions and mummeries of these
lamas. Many of them do not know it's
elementary principles.
The lamas of a certain superior order
have the strange custom Of manifest
ing their power to die and come back
to lie. There Is another equally inter
esting class Of lamas known as Skoo-
shoks. These are men who have at
tanned such pitch Of virtue that they
are fitted to attain Nirvana. the last
reward of the Buddhist religion. But
instead of entering Nirvana, the SkOo-
/ shoks consent to be reincarnated and
live again for the good Of their fellow
men. When an old Skooshok Is dying
in the flesh. newly born child is Sc
lected and the sacred one transfere his
spirit to this child. The new Skooshok
is then carried away to Gompa. or re-
treat, where he dreams away his life
in meditation. 1t is considered prob
able that the Mahatmas, about whom
considerable has been heard in Europe
and America. are really Skooshoks.
1t is well known that Buddhists are
in the habit Of praying with the aid Of
| a Wheel but the extent to which the
| system Is carried in Tibet is impress

series of incarnatiOns in various animal
forms until he has so purged himself
of sin that he Is fit to enter into Mir
vana. The process may be accelerated
by prayer, and for convenience the
the prayer is written and fastened on
wheel, which the devotee turns. In
Tibet devout and prosperous man has

wind and water power. In this way he
may In few years, make progress
which would otherwise occupy millions

BREAD 1900 YEARS OLD.
Loaves that We're Being Baked When
POmp.ii Was Destroyed.

Sufferers from indigestion are ad-
vised to eat stale bread; the Staler the
better, they are told. There is in the
museum at Naples some bread which
ought to be stale enough for anybody.
1t was baked one day in August, 70
a. d., in one of the curious ovens still
to be seen at Pompcii.
More than eighteen centuries, there
fore, have elapsed since it was drawn
"all hot" and indigestible from the
oven. So it may claim to be the old
est bread in the world. You may see
1t in a glass case on the upper floor OF
the museum. There are several loaves
of it, one still bearing the impress Of
the bakers name.
In shape and size they resemble the
small cottage loaves of England, but
not in appearance, for they are as
black as charcoal, which, in fact, they
closely resemble. This was not their
original color, but they have become
carbonized, and if eaten would proba-
bly, remind one of charcoal biscuits
When new they may have weighed
about couple of pounds each, and
We're most likely raised with leaven,
as Is most Of the bread in oriental
countries at the present time.
The popular idea that Pompeii was
destroyed by lava is a fallacious one.
If lava stream had descended upon
the city the bread and everything else
in the place would have been utterly
destroyed. Pompeii was really buried
under ashes and fine cinders, called by
the Italians lapilli. On that dreadful
day in August, when the great erup-
ton Of Vesuvius took place, showers
Of fine ashes fell first upon the doomed
city, then showers OF lapilli, then more
ashes and more lapilli, until POmpeii
was covered over to a depth in places
of fifteen and even twenty feet.
Other comestibles besides the bread
were preserved, and may now be seen
in the same room in the museum. There
are various kinds of grain. fruit, vege-
tables and even pieces of meat. Most
interesting is dish of walnuts, some
cracked ready for eating, others whole.
Though carbOniZed, like all the other
eatables. they have preserved their
characteristic wrinkles and lines.
There are figs. too, and pears, the
former rather shriveled, as one would
expect after all these years. the latter
certainly no longer Juicy" But per-
haps the most interesting relic in the
room is honeycomb, every cell Of
which can be distinctly made out. 1t
is SO we'll preserved that it is hard to
realize that the comb is no longer wax,
nor the honey, honey.
A piece of the comb seems to have
been cut out, and one can imagine
some young Pompeiian having helped
himself to it and sitting down to eat
it, when he had to jump up and fly for
his life One cannot help wondering
what became of the pece-whether the
young fellow took it with him and ate
it as he ran, or whether he left it on
his plate. intending to return for it
when the eruption was over.

Faith and Works.

A piece of bright classroom repartee
comes from Western college. The pro-
fessor had been annoyed by the tardy
entrance Of student into the lecture
room. and pointedly stopped talking
until the man took his seat.
After class the student went to the
desk and apolOgized.
"My watch was fifteen minutes out
OF the way, sir. It's bothered me good
deal lately. but after this shall put no
more faith in it."
ITS not faith you want in it," re-
piled the professor; its works."
