TOME or CONFUCIUS.
One of the Chief Spots of Interest In
the Orient

One of the chief Spots of Interest In
the Orient.
Tie city O. Chufuhsien, the Mecca of
the Believers il COnfucianism, is in the
province of Shangtung, one of the most
p0Dulous districts Of the orient. Here
Confucius was born, and here his
sacred bones lie buried. The tomb,
which is located III one of the largest
cemeteries in the province, about three
miles out from the city above mention
cd. is one Of the most imposing in the
whole empire.
The grave itself is surmounted by an
earth mound about twelve feet in
height. the whole surrounded by a
cluster Of gnarled oaks and stately cy-
press trees. Before the mound is a
tablet about six feet broad and twenty
feet high. upon which are inscribed the
names and deeds OF the great founder
Of COnfuC;aniSm, q religion adhered to
by over 400,000.000 human beings The
burden of this inscription, according to
reliable translation, is Perfect One. :
Absolutely Pure" Perfect Sage.
First Teacher" Great Philosopher"
etc.
The avenue which leads up to the
philosophers tomb is even more inter.
esting than the actual place of buria
itself On each side of the avenue are
rows of figures of huge animals cut
in stone-lions, tigers, elephants and
horses, besides numerous mythical
creatures, such as animals. half dog
and half frog, beasts with four legs
and twice as many wings, besides q
multitude of unnamable monsters that
never lived on the earth, in the wa
ter or in the air. Taken altogether,
the burial place of Confucius is one of
the chief spots of interest in the orr

ODD MOON BELIEFS.
The Orb of Night as Food For the
Immortal Gods.

The Orb OF Night Food For the
immortal Gods.
Certain it is that belief in the moon
as the abode of the fathers was widely
spread among the people speaking the
Aryan languages. To the present day
the peasants in Swabia are heard to
say, MAY go TO the moon if | did it,
instead of May [ die if | did it." Nay,
people who work on the Sabbath day
are threatening even now that they
will go to the moon-that is, that they
will die and be punished in the moon.
A more startling idea-peculiar, it
would seem, to India--was that Of the
moon serving as the food of the gods.
And yet, though it sounds strange to
us, it was not SO very unnatural an
idea after all. The gols, though invisi-
Bile, had been located in the sky In
the same sky the golden moon, often
compared to round Of golden butter,
was seen regularly to decrease. And
if it were being consumed by anybody
by whom could it be consumed if not
by the gods? Hence the ready conclu-
sion that it was SO and that it was, in
fact this food which secured to the
gods their immortal life
If so much had once been granted,
then came the question, How was the
moon gradually increased and restored
to It's fullness? And here the old SUI
perstition came in that the souls Of the
departed entered the moon, SO that the
waxing of the moon might readily be
accounted for by this more ancient ar
ticle of faith. Hence the systematized
belief that the moon wanes while it is
being eaten by the gods and that it
wakes while it is being filled by the
departed souls entering it. A last con
clusion was that the gods when feed
ing Oh the moon were really feeding on
the souls Of the departed.

COST OF LIVING.

When our democratic and free
trade papers tell their readers that
the cost OF living has increased some
20 per cent during the past seven
years, they do not honestly state that
this refers only to certain portions
OF living expenses. The cost Of ac'
tual living has not Increased very
largely during recent years, except In
so far as the American people have
themselves demanded a higher stan
dard OF living; have demanded better
clothes, better food, better houses
and better furniture, and more and
more OF the comforts and conven-
fences and Injuries OF life. That is
why II costs considerably more TO
live today than 1t did In 1896. when
a large number OF the American peo'
pie were not able to get even the
necessaries OF life, to say nothing
OF the luxuries; and the very fact
that the American people today do
demand such increased amount OF ne
c~essarics and Injuries Is the greatest
proof that they have the %wherewlth.

Well, 1t must be admitted that II Is
a pretty substantial bogy, not only to
brighten children but to brighten the
whole civilized world outside our own
boundaries.
This "bogy' amounts to over
twenty-five billions Of dollars In value
annually. This Is in excess OF all
the markets of the world combined
for the importation of foreign goods.
II Is just the kind OF a "bogy'' that
the American people not only take
great pride in, but that Is the envy
OF every producing country on the
face Of the earth. II Ia SO much OF
"bogy' that II IL giving US annually
