journey to Handy even from Lapland
and all come to worship an enshrined
tooth.
Although even the most intelligent
priests of Buddhism assert solemnly
that the tooth they guard was once n
part of the body of the founder of
their religion, in their heart they must
know that If Buddha ever carried this
tooth in his head and the rest of his
teeth were of proportionate size his
mouth must have been as large and
ferocious as that of gorilla. On the
other hand. if this tooth was an eXcep-
tion to the rest it mnst have protrud-
ed from his lips like the tusk OF wild
boar. According to the priests the sa-
cred relic is an eye tooth from the left
side of Buddha's mouth. The eye
teeth of an admit man are about three
quarters of an inch long. The "holy
tooth" is more than two inches long.
The early records of Buddhism tell
of a tooth of a great teacher which
figured in the state ceremonies of
many Eastern potentates. For time
1t remained in india the native country
of the prophet, and Travelled in state
from one court to another. 1t was
the marriage dover of many prlncesses
of the royal blood, and its possession
was believed TO insure happiness both
In this and after existences. AS
matter of fact it was the cause of end
less dissenslons and not few muir
ders. With the wane of Buddhism in
India-for India turned away from
its greatest native teacher, even as
Palestine did from Christ-the "holy
tooth" was removed to the adjoining
island Of Ceylon, that there it might
abide in secure shrine. But 1t found
no rest. 1t was captured by one CON
queror, to be wrested away from him
by another. AT one time the Malabars
had 1t, at another the Portuguese, and
in the sixteenth century. according to
the most authentic records, II was pub
licly destroyed. In the presence of the
Viceroy of India and his suite 1t was
burned in 1860 by the Catholic Arch
bishop of Goa, who thus hoped to end
forever "a most abominable ldolatryy
as he called 1t.
Although the holy. tooth" was thus
reduced to ashes and thrown to the
winds, 1t did not cease to exist in the
minds of the faithful. Six years later
the tooth was wanted to conclude an in
ternational marriage, and In order that
the ceremony should be conducted with
all due solemnlty the tooth was pro-
duced In some way. A short time af-
terward this piece Of bone WAS taken
to Handy. town In the centre Of
Ceylon, situated on the top of hill,
and magnificent temple, called the
Dalada Malagawa, was built over 1t.

caslons, when few high personages
are permitted in secret TO see It. When

Tho Art of Conversntion.

To one woman who is thoroughly
satisfied with her ability to maintain
a reasonable share of interesting CON
versaton there are scores who dis
trust their own powers TO the point of
awkwardness. One has to note the be-
havlor Of guests at a reception given
in honor Of some more or less famous
parsonage 10 realize that. The few
accept the presentation easily and
gracefully. make little speeches that
exactly fit and go away leaving an
agreeable impression. The many look
uncomfortable, appear awkward and
say the wrong things If they find
speech at all.
There is no short cut to grace of any
description. Familiarity with an art
brings ease, of course. and nothing
broadens one like travel and much
rubbing of elbows with humanity.
A womans opportunities have never
equaled those of the other sex. because
she has always spent so much time
within the four walls OF home. Con
ditions are improving all the time,
however. and with newspapers, maya
zines and clubs there is less excuse
for feminine awkwardness in the art
of conversing. Serious discourse has
but little part In our hurried life and
that helps to ease the burdens.

the TOOTH OF BupDHA.
A Relic Sacred to All who Follow
the Religion He Founded.

<AsON CERTAIN tooth is TO the
n b Buddhists what the Holy
8 N q Sepulchre at Jerusalem Is
n IA to the Christians, and what
5GoR the birthplace at Mecca of
the greatest of Arabian
prophets is to the Mahometans. This
tooth is believed by the pilgrims to
its shrine to have come from the sacred
mouth of Gautama Buddha, the found
er of their faith. The shaven, bare
footed priests who watch over the relic,
say that it was taken from the ashes
of his funeral pyre five centuries before
Christ was born. AS matter of fact,
this profoundly venerated object looks
suspiciously like the tooth of wild
boar or a monkey.
The "holy tooth" Is enshrlned in
Handy. a mountain town on the isl
and of Ceylon, and thlther it draws
pilgrims from about one-third the en-
tire population of the world. Wher-
ever Buddhism has spread, the fame
of this bit of bone has gone, so that 1t
is regarded as sacred by more than
four hundred and fifty million human
beings. In the streets of Handy one
may meet votaries from hundred diff
ferent countries and provinces, from
nearby Siam and faraway Siberia,
from Nepal, Tibet, China, Korea and
Japan. Indeed, many an aged native
