Nirvana of Buddhism.

The Buddhist forbears to slaugh-
ter animals, be 1t for food, sport or
scientific purposes; he discredits the
theory that they have been created
for the use of man, and that he has
any right over them. The Buddha
sat and taught that every human be
ing, high or low, animal or human,
while transmigrating in any of the ms
terial. semi-material or nonmaterial
worlds, is subject to alternate misery
and Elusive happiness, and that last
ing bliss is found only in Nirvana.
He saw that the will to live to enjoy
was the cause of transmigration with
its miseries, and that when through
enlightenment this will leases, Mir
vana is attained and transmigration
Or incarnation in earthly bodies
ceases.

Pumice stone, aside from its use as

important polishing substances. While
emery is used for polishing tools, pol

for polishing softer articles. Pumice

The Earliest EIctIon.

Folk-tales represent fiction in Its
childhood; they are the unwritten lit
erature of primeval man, the outcome
of the universal desire to tell, and
of the no less universal desire to
listen to, a story which animated the
savage to the full as much as it has
animated the European peasants of
all ages, and as it animates the Ger
mans and Roumanians, Russians and
Norwegians, Celts and Basques, who,
in long winter evenings, still gather
round a recognized adept in the art
of storytelling and take keen delight
in listening to the tales of old unhap-
by far-off days which appeared to
uncivilized man hundreds of years
ago.-The Academy.

that words cannot picture the fright

STILL WATCH FOR MohTEzuMA.
Priests Tend Sacred Fire and Await
Return of King.

Taos stands unique and distinct
from all the other pueblos, and Is
unusually interesting to the student of
e%thnology. 1t is there that the eter-
nal fire is said to be kept burning in
the estufa, or underground temple,
and there the priests climb daily to
the housetops and gaze toward the ris-
ing sun, hoping to see the returning
Montezuma sailing toward them on
his eagle. The fire, 1t is said, was
removed to this village from Pecos
in the early part of the last century,
when the latter vas abandoned. Ac-
cording to rumor 1t is kept in a sa-
cred temple built in the bowels OF
the earth and connected with the sur
face by hidden passages and laby-
rinths. The priests tend the sacred
fire carefully, and, if tradition Is to be
believed, 1t has not been e~xtinguished
since Montezuma left the earth for his
heavenly home. Taos was also the
home of Kit Carson, the famous scout
who led Gen. Fremont through the
wilds and whose name has been sung
In many tongues. He lived and died
in the little village, loved and respect
ed by all the Indians.-Southern

paper he will establish on Snake
River. He has mel with great enco-
uragement from people on the river,
and in Rawlins also, and expects to
have the first issue out in two weeks
at most.
Mr.. Boyce has been a writer for diff
ferent state papes for some time, but
believes now the conditions in that
field merit a paper devoted entirely to
the intrests of the valley. He is a
rustler in every sense and will no
doubt do himself and the community
credit by his efforts in that direction.

Possibly the civic conscience was
less sensitive in times past than it is
to-day, in spite of frenzied statements
to the contrary. At any rate, the fol-
lowing story is told of a tough old cit
izen of Lee, n. H., who was drawn on
the jury some decades ago. The case
was a capital one, and when it became
time for the jury to decide the old
man was much puzzled.

element, why, l don't know how to

windy and long drawn out. and 1t was
plainly to be e hat he was tired
ard uninterested. To one of his de-
cisions counsel for the defendant
promptly took exception and his hon
