uncanny Scenes Witnessed In Bud
dhist Temple at Lassa, In Tibet.
A recent dispatch to the London Dali
ly Mail from Lassa, in Tibet, gives a
striking description Of a visit to the
Buddhist temple there during the serv-
ice. The correspondent says:
1.-THE monks have extraordinarily
deep, devotional voices, reaching deep
er tones than any western bass. The
voices of thousand monks resembied
the drone Of subterranean monster.
unsteady plaintiye, the voice of the
earth God praying for release TO the
God of the skies.
"ln the inner temple are three enor-
nous images of the Buddhist trinity,
set with jewels from foot to crown. In
the upper story, in a place we called
hell some lamas were worshiping the
demon protectress of the grand lama.
The music here was harsh and bar
barrie. On pillars and on the walls
were displayed every freak Of diabol-
ical invention in the shape of scrolls
and devil masks. The object of this
worship was huddled in a corner, Il
dwarf hideous and malignant enough
for such rites.
"All about the lamas' feet ran little
white mice searching for grain, with
which they are fed daily. They are
scrupulously reyerenced, as in their
frail bodies the souls of previous
guardians Of the shrine are believed to
be reincarnated.
"Some Of the rites were conducted in
absolute silence. AS We watched from
a latticed window some acolytes looked
up, but the monks sat like stone fg.
ures, apparently oblivious Of our pres.
ence. The reek of candles was almost
sufrocating."

The Tea Party In Mapchuria.

When the little Jap is weary
Chasing up the flying foe.
Flooding on in sand and sunlight
Or in bitter frost and snow.
Then he halts beneath the shelter
OF spreading wayside tree,
Builds fire and boils the kettle
And prepares a pot of tea.
when the battle dawn is breaking
On the cruisers of the car,
All his big and burly sailors
Gather round the samovar.
AND, before the silver trumpets
Call to death or victory,
Fortify their gallant spirits
With draft of steaming tea
For the hand that's always sober
lis the surest In it's aim
And Will reach the highest laurels
Growing on the heights of fame.
Here's a cup of amber Hyson
