THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The chief market for Philadelphia made gods is
India where the demand is for Buddhas and Cane
sas The most expensive ones are marble Buddhas
two feet high. which cost $50 The models must be
accurate for the devotee of India must have all
details additionally exact. every band. every
color. every little decoration has some symbolic
meaning. The Buddhas made after an exact
copy of a Siamese Buddha reputed to be the best
image of the god extant The god Ganesa. with
his four and elephants head, is TO less costly
Plain and undecorated Ganesas can be had for $50
If the divine dignity be heightened by ornament
the god may fetch as much SO. \ bit of color
slightly Inaccurate in shade or an ornament i'm
properly placed may render the most pcturesquely
hideous Ganesa Buddha absolutely worthless to
a Hindoo.

saving some spots of interest to EngIishmen, and
one, at least, of than insular interest. Dan
ger threatened the Hill Tara the most interest

from the third century OF our era; it was at once
the palace and the tomb OF the Irish kings; there
on the Kings Rath they were crowned. the Liza
Fail. Stone of Destiny. On Easter eve 433 St.
Patrick there effected the conversion Of the King
of Ireland to Christianity Unscentifc and rather
foolish persons have done much injury the hill
by digging after the Ark of the Covenant which
they have naturally failed to find This process at
least has been arrested. and the National Trust
will have general sympathy In its endeavor to make
the hill-at present under divided ownership-a ma
tional possession.
