A TERRIBLE PENANCE.
Tfbetan Monks Who Suffer Life I'm
prisOnment In Dark Cells.


Perhaps the most terrible penance
suffered for religious reasons anywhere
I'm the world is that of the monks OF
Nyen-de-kyi-buk. as described by Per-
cival Landon in "The Opening OF
Tibet" These monks live in the ordi-
nary manner during the novitiate; then
they go into cells for a period Of six
months; then, after an interval, for
three years and ninety three days; Ia
ter for life.
And such cell! almost on level
with the ground" says Mr.. Landon,
"there was an opening closed with a
fiat stone from behind. In front Of this
window was ledge eighteen inches in
width, with two basins beside it, one
at each end. The abbot was attended
by an acolyte who, by his masters or
ders, tapped three times sharply on
the stone slab. We stood in the little
courtyard in the sun and watched thar
wicket with cold apprehension.
think, on the whole, ii was the most
uncanny thing saw in all Tibet. Aft
er half minutes pause the stone NOV
ed or tried to move, but 1t came to rest
again. Then very slowly and uncer-
tainly it was pushed back, and a black
chasm was revealed. There was again
a pause Of thirty seconds, during which
imagination ran riot but do not think
that any other thing could have been
as intensely pathetic as that we actu-
ally saw.
"a hand, muffied In tightly wound
piece of dirty cloth, for all the world
like stump Of an arm, was painfully
thrust up, and very weakly 1t felt
along the slab. After fruitless FUN
bling the hand slowly quivered back
again into the darkness. A few mo-
ments later there was again an inef-
fectual effort, and then the stone slab
moved noiselessly across the opening
"Once a day water and an unleav-
ened cake of -four is placed for the
prisoner upon that slab. the signal is
given, and he may take it in. His
diversion is over for the day, and in
the darkness Of his cell. where night
and day, moon, sunset and the dawn
are all alike, he-poor soul!-had
thought that another day Of his long
penanee was over"

him into the stable when the horse
stepped on a plank, one end Of which
penetrated his abdomen, inAicting a
wound that caused death in q very

1t was decided by the congregation
of st. James Lutheran church to be-

A SWIMMING HORSE.

The Proper Way to Ride the Animal
In the Water.
A military journal Of Paris gives this
account of the way q horse should not
be ridden and of the way he should be
ridden In swimming stream:
To begin with, 1t must not be sup
posed that horse always swims nat
urally and with ease the moment he Ia
Of his feet In the water, The animal
under such circumstances has but one
notion-to keep his head out Of the wa
ter and to lift his shoulders as high as
possible.
In doing this his hind quarters sink.
and he finds himself almost standing
upon his tail or ut least In a position
ee-Quarters erect.
In such a position. II the rider draws
upon the reins or throws his body back
In the least, the animals hind quarters
take a vertical position. and. beatlr :
the water uselessly with his forefeet,
he will finally sink.
AS soon as the horse gets Off his feet
In the water let the rider grasp hand
full of the animals name. leaning at
the same time well forward upon his
! shoulders. but without touching the
horses head. The riders knees should
be pressed tightly to the horses sides;
otherwise he Is likely to be swept of
by the water.
This Is the only position which will
enable man to remain In the saddle
! and the horse to swim at the same
; time,
Tie reins must be held loosely AID
each well to one side. II the horse Is to
be guided In the water give the loose
rein a little jerk in the direction de-
sired. But It IA In the highest degree
impQrtapt never to pull on the reins-

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
Discovered by Accident and Bought
For a Mere Song.

Discovered by Accident ana bought
For n Mere Song.
The strange vicissitudes through
which some of the most highly priced
and valuable pictures now preserved
In public and private galleries have
passed provides romantic reading.
Take, for instance, the case Of sea-
scape by Turner.
A Captain Treharne was spending II
holiday in yarmouth. CHANGING one
day to be turning over the thousand
and one articles in an old curiosity
shop, he came across a dirty, ragged
painting depicting sea scene. 1t was
painted on an oak panel, was not
framed and was In terribly disrepu-
table condition. Prompted to buy the
derelict, the captain secured posses
sion of it for So. The purchaser took 1t
home with him, the painting was clean
ed and the varnlsh removed. Scrutiny
then revealed the famous Initials of
Turner-"J. NJ. w. T."-and its author
ity was substantiated when submitted
to an expert, who estimated its value
at $500.
MUTE ISlllul Gum was thS haS
tory surrounding Raphael's Three
Graces." While rummaging among a
collection Of old furniture in Italy a
French art lover named Henri Raboul
happened upon 1t. He acquired the
painting for a few francs. On his re-
turn to France NJ. Raboul offered 1t to
the Louvre for modest 5000, but the
great Partisan art gallery refused to
buy it. The owner finally disposed Of
it to an Englishman for $3.50. In few
years the painting passed through a
number of hands. Finally it was pur-
chased by the Due dAumale for $685.
600.
More remarkable was the purchase
of the second example Of RaphaePs art.
A gentleman of Pinner while walking
along the Harrow road one day had his
attention arrested by painted panel
in the window and bought 1t for IL
cents. The gentleman took 1t home and
cleaned it. At the same time he was
mystified by the initial "R." on the
back of the panel. IT was a genuine

DIacOntent with Work.

That there is much discomfort with
work among the so called middle
classes in America is due in large part
to the pampering Of children, to the
supplying of their natural and artificial
wants and to the sentimental idea that
"their day of toll will come soon
enough" In general, work is not a
curse, but blessing--a positive means
of grace. One can hardly begin too
early to impress upon children lessons
of self help by tasks appropriate to
their age and forces and to beget in
them scorn of idleness and Of depend,
ence on others. To do this is to make
them happy through the self respect
that comes with the realization Of pow,
er and thus to approximate Tennyson's
goal of man. "Self reverence. sell
knowledge, self control.

the boss of the kennels; therefore
can't understand why 1t Is that people
who describe a certain style Of locomo-
tIon always call it dog trot. Judging
by the universally of that expression.
a body would think that dog never
moves any other way than on a trot
But he does. All the galts belonging to

PAGES. SO when person in hurry

there would be just as much sense In
speaking of his gait as dog run or
dog gallop once in awhile as always
to call it dog trot."-New York Press.

that the slightest tendency toward
