ADAMS PEAK.

A Shrine Sacred to Three Conflicting
Religious Sects.
Throughout Asia holy places" are
almost as numerous as leaves on a
tree. but in Ceylon Is n mountain which
enjoys the unique distinction Of being
. very holy place to the devotees of
three absolutely distinct and conflict
ing religious sects. This is Adams
Peak, or Samantha.
According to the Mohammedan be-
lief, Adam. after the fall, was taken
by an angel to the top of Samantha,
and a panorama OF all the Ills that
through sin should aAlict mankind was
spread out before him. His foot left
an impression on the solid rock. and
his tears formed the lake from which
pilgrims still drink. The BuddhistS
contend that it was not Adam, but
Buddha himself that made the foot
print in the rock, that being the last
spot where he touched the earth be-
fore ascending to heaven, while the
Brahmins have still another legend.
All, however, Brahmins, Mohamme-
dams and Chinese, agree that Samantha
is very holy place, and to perform q
pilgrimage to the spot is to the Budd-
hist what a visit to Mecca is to a Mo-
hammedan. In mixed crowds the wor-
shippers come, each plying the igno-
rance Of the other, who is so far from

Technically Gentlemen.

There is only one strictly technical
definition of gentleman-a man entitled
to bear coat armor. In the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries it was
used with this significance, and the
secondhand bookstall hunter will oc-
casionally find "So-and-so, gentle
man." written on dusty and stained fly
leaves But this definition has dropped
out, for now any one may use arms
who chooses to pay for an arms Ii
cense. The inland revenue takes your
guinea or two guineas without inquir-
ing as to your right to bear arms. And,
though the heraldS' college has the
right to grant arms to those who can
afford to pay the necessary fees, it
cannot prevent people from using
arms to which they have no right
