THE INTERNAL REGIONS.
How They Are Depicted In Buddhism
and Isln mtsm

The Internal regions of Buddhism
are horrible. They comprise a great
hell and 1856 lesser bells. In these
bells. according TO the sculptures OF
the Buddhist temples, men are ground
to powder and their dust turned into
ants and fieas and spiders. They are
pestled in IA mortar. The hungry eat
redhot iron balls. The thirsty drink
molten iron.
Islamism says OF the Internal re-
gions: They who believe not shall
have garments Of fire fitted for them.
Boiling water shall he poured on their
heads and on their skins, and they
shall be beaten with maces OF iron"
In the Scandinavian mythology. the
mythology OF Odin and Thor, we are
told that ''in Nastrond there is vast
and direful structure, with doors that
face the north. Ii is formed entirely
OF the backs OF serpents. waited to-
gether like wickerwork. But the ser
penis heads are turned toward the In
side of the hall. and they continually
send forth floods OF venom, In which
wade all those who commit murder or
forswear themselves"
In the past Christian clergymen
loved 10 describe hell. The present
tendency, however, is TO avoid discus

It's origin, According To the Los

q sailor in the New York Times. Mrs.
Noah went down one morning TO the
potato bin In the lower hold for the
vegetables required for the MONDAY
meal. Her favorite collie dog, Nip, fol
lowed her, as was his daily custom.
While Mrs. Noah was sorting out the
tubers the ark collided with small
snag, which punctured small hole In
her side close TO where the lady stood.
Seeing that immediate action was nee
essary. she took OF her wooden petit
coat and apron and stuffed them into
the hole, but the pressure OF the water
forced the things out, and so she put
them back again and sat on them, call
ing loudly for assistance. But no one
seemed TO hear her. as the animals
were making such a noise. In her po-
sition she leaned back SO that the
backs OF her arms were pressed up
against the cold sides of the vessel ;
hence the backs OF womens arms are
always cold. The water was coming
in fast. and she began TO fear for the
safety of the ark, so she jumped up
and, grabbing Nip, put his nose into
the hole and babe him stay there until
she went 10 the fore hatch and shout.
ed for help. a carpenters mate heard
her and came down into the hold with
soft pine plug, released poor Nip and
stopped the leak. The water outside
was very cold, and Nip got cold nose
and hence all healthy dogs have a cold
nose"

COMPANY FIGHTS TAXES
Koochiching Case Chief in Interest at
Grand Rapids.

GRAND RAPIDS, M1NN.-Court has convened
here in adjourned term, and the case OF the
state against the Koochiching company for nom
payment Of taxes as assessed Is OF much IN
terest to the public. The state law provides
for the assessment Of real estate property but
once In two years, the valuation, as far as
the taxation is concerned, remaining the same
the year succeeding the assessment.
The Koochichng company's property at what
is now International Falls assessed in 1902
at a valuation Of $4,000. In the next year,
however, the company replatted some Of its
property, and 1t was placed upon the tax list
as new property and valuation placed upon
it Of So 600. Now the company refuses to pay
the taxes on the $1,000, contending that the
assessment Of 1902 holds instead of the more
recent assessment. County Attorney George H:
Spear represents the state, and G. J. lockwood
of Minneapolis the company.
John Jones, who was up on a charge of as:
sault in the second degree at the last term OF
court, and who created much notoriety fol-
himself by bribing the complaining witness and
then being fined for contempt Of court was
allowed to plead guilty to charge Of assault
in the third degree, owing to the fact that the the
state could not procure all its witnesses. He
was fined s1O0 and costs. He is saloonmar
in Deer River and assaulted a man named
Blanchett.
