The Farm Orchard

Speaking broadly, the average
farmer in the corn belt knows moth
ing about fruit culture. He plants
an orchard. mostly Of apple trees,
but fails to care for it after it is
planted. The apple is q good
natured tree, and, like the good
natured man. stands considerable
abuse without resenting it. The
tree grows up, bears some fruit
some years. and the farmer is salts.
fed with a little. He thinks that if
there is a full crop the country over.
or nearly so it is worth nothing. If
there is a poor crop or no crop ut all,
il is also worth nothing; and there
fore he is satisfied if in good years
there is enough fruit--generally of
poor quality-for the family. The
trees grow up without pruning,
without spraying. without any kind
of care. In short, the average
farmer regards the fruit crop as a
matter of pure luck. The result is
that the ordinary farm orchard
is simply a nursery for all
kinds of insect poets and a
menace to the real business of fruit

as having been mortal man. and they
believe that any mortal may aspire
to be what he was. He is their idea
of the perfect man. and his life is the
perfect life. Nevertheless. they pray
before his shrine and use his name
in their prayers
And this brings me to the various
methods of Buddhist praying. In most
things these people are centuries be-
hind the times. but as TO their religion
they have economical energy and
adopted many inventions. You may
remember the story of the American
who had a beautiful prayer written
out for him covering his every pos
s!ble need 1t was full of Christianity
and brotherly love. He pasted 1t on
the head of his bed and every night
before jumping in folded his hands and
reverently said: /" oh! Lord, them's my
sentiments. Amen"

that when they give the handle a

whirls around. They believe they get
merit for the prayer at every whirl,

The Buddhists have no fixed SER
vices. no regular religious meetings
and no religious forms OF marriages
or burials Until recently they have
had no regular preaching. although
they are now holding services in Japan
and elsewhere. They do not believe
that any one hut yourself can help YOU
toward salvation. and 1t is only as re-
minders of the example OF Ruddha
that their temples have been erected.

Ten Commandments of Buddhism.
The Buddhist religion mas It's Ten
commandments, which are taught to
the children. The first five are:
l. Thou shalt not take any life at
all.
q Thou shalt not steal.
g. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
4. Thou shalt not lie.
s. Thou shalt not drink intoxicating
liquors.
The second FIVE are obligatory chief
ly on the priests in the monasteries
and by all other good people on holy
days. They are:
/. Thou shalt not eat after mid
day.
2. Thou shalt not dance or play upon
| musical instruments.
| 3. Thou shalt not use cosmetics.
| A. Thou shalt not stand or sleep on
elevated places.
5. Thou shalt not touch gold nor
silver
The theory Of the religion is that
every one must work out his own sal

other except by example.

and they have now found this casket
containing his bones.
During the presentation Mr.. Mar
shall director of the archaeological de-
partment OF the government OF India,
described how the relics were found.
The first information concerning them
came from records left by Chinese
travellers who walked over India on
pilgrimages about 400 or 500 years
after Christ One OF these men was
Buddhist monk, who spent seven years
In travelling through India collecting
Buddhist writings and visiting the
shrines. He tramped across the Him
alaya Mountains, stopping in the little
province where Buddha was born. He
walked to Buddah Gaya. where the
saint received his great enlightenment
and then went to pray at the various
places where the relics OF Buddha We're
kept. In the records Of his pilgrim
ages he described great pagoda near
Peshawar. not far from where the
Emperor Knishka had his palaces.
This tower was about 1900 feet in
circumference. and was higher than the
Z
teen stories and the top was crowned
with pinnacle of gilded disks attach
ed to an iron pillar Mr. Marshall
says that this tower lasted for more
than 800 years after the Chinese Budd-
hists above spoken of had paid their
visit Their records stated that the
relies of Buddha lay under the tower
Discovered by n Frcnchman.
The origin of the discovery came
| from Il Trench scientist who came out
to India a few years ago to study
Buddhism He had the writings of thes'
pilgrims. and from them he located thu
site of the pagoda as being under one
of two mounds which lie about hall
miles east of the city of Peshawaer. "A
that time there was no tower in eX-
stence. 1t had fallen TO ruins CEN
; turtles ago. and no vestiges were ir
/ sight excepting these mounds. The
Frenchman's name was Foucher.
Mr. Foucher found himself unable to
, make the excavations required to verify
. his theory He presented his evidence,
, however, to Dr. spooner, of the
archaeological department of the Indian
. government. and the latter took up the
work. That was two years ago. Since
then the mounds have been dug over
and the remains of the great tower
found. The heavy foundation was un
lowered. and it was shown to have been
larger than any other known Buddhist

| walls of dressed stone, and. accord
ing to the records of Heuen Chwans,
the Chinese Buddhist pilgrim. it was
so lofty that four towers had to be
built at the corners to hoist the coping
stones into place The remains OF
those towers have been found.

had been outlined, and the heavy

archeologists sand shaft dowr

The Buddhist religion is on the eve of
revival The movement has already
made some Roadway in Japan, Korea
and China, and 1t is having great
impetus here and in Burma through
the discovery of the ashes OF Buddha,
which were recently found in buried
chamber near Peshawar. The prophet
was born here in India more than 24oo
wears ago, and he is said to have died
in northern India at the age OF eighty.
There is no doubt as to the authentic
ity of the relics. They were found by
the archaeological department of the
British government, and the viceroy
of India, Earl Mimic. has had them
brought here to Calcutta and has made
a. formal presentation of them to
delegation of Buddhist priests from
Burma.
The relics were discovered through
Investigations made by ancient writ
ings which described their existence.
They lay in chamber far down under
the ground below the heavy founda-
ton of a tower which had long since
been blotted from the face of the earth.
They were in a bronze casket and in
side crystal box. and they consisted
of mass of grayish white powder and
four charred human bones. The box

ably will be kept at Mandalay and a
mighty pagoda erected above it.
Earl NIinto,s Speech.
In making his speech to the priests
the viceroy said:
.,The government of India has de-
cided that the relics should remain
within the confines of the Indian en-
pire. asd that Burma, as Buddhist
province, and Mandalay. as Its capital,
should provide for their safe custody,
] am sure that the great honor done to
Burma will he thoroughly appreciated
by Its people. and that the relics will
be carefully preserved and cherished
The viceroy concluded with this
statement. which seems remarkable, as
coming from the Christian ruler OF
India. the King of England's creates

~ trust, too. that suitable shrine
NAV be erected at Mandalay over these
relics. where in future years devou'

of the great founder of their religion

Cornell and Chicago are to clash in

In 1908 neither eleven has been able

meetings the games have resulted In

to play the brand of football which
has characterized this years contests.
At present the lthacans look lot
stronger than the Maroons. and the
fasteners will have the benefit OF
playing ON their own field.
In 1908 Chicago looked lot stronger
than Cornell and last year the situa-
ton was just the opposite. On the oc-
.casion of the first meeting If Steffen
had caught forward pass the Ma
Rooms would have been the victors, and
last season II 'Cornell's quarterback

however. that Chicago put up great
exhibitions Of defense when close
pressed last year. while in 1908 Cor
nell was outplayed In "a number OF
departments.
One thing Is certain. and that is Cor

OLIVER LODGE BELIEVES
IN PRE- EXISTENCE.
Says There is Nc Beginning and No
End to Anything Real

There is no real ending to anything
In the universe, nor was there any be-
ginning" said Sir Oliver Lodge in the
course of an address on the subject of
incarnation this week III Loudon. He
added:
THE death of the body does not con-
vey any assurance Of the souls death.
Every physical analogy is against
such a superficial notion in nature.
We never see things beginning or COM
ing TO an end Change is what we see,
not origin or termination
Death is change indeed-a sort
of emigration, wrenching away OF
the old familiar scenes. a solemn. por-
tentous fact. But 1t is not annihila-
ton.
mo thoughtful person can believe
that he is destined TO drop headfore-
most into vacant nothing and cease to
be. Existence is itself great adven-
placid lives. seek TO avoid adventure.
but none can altogether escape, none
can escape the great adventure
death.
s'There are three adventures in life
birth, death and marriage-and COM
paratively few escape all three"
Sir divers message was that there
is some great truth in the Idea of pre-
existence-not an obvious truth and
one easily formulated. but a truth diff
ficult of expression and not to be iden-
tilted with reincarnation. Persons liv-
ing now might not have been individ-
uaIs before. but they were chips or
fragments of great master mind, OF

NEXT HOUSE NEARLY A TIE.
Will Be Very Close, According to Re-
cent Canvass.

In an article in Success Magazine
based on confidential information as
to political conditions in each Of the
1871 congressional districts of the Unit
ed States Edward e. Higgins says:
",rhe next house of representatives
will be almost exactly in even balance.
The probabilities are slightly In favor
of a Republican majority OF two or
three. but 1t is impossible to predict
with certainty which OF the two par
ties Will organize the house.
There will be a large increase In
the Democratic membership. but there
will be no Democratic landslide.
1.-THE explanation of this rather I'M
expected result appears to be that the
progressive wing of the Republican
party has come into power at the pri-
maries in very large proportion Of
the Republican districts. while in
many of the districts where the stand
pat element retains control of the Re-
publican machine the normal Repub-
lican pluralities are so large that the
stand pat candidates are likely to sue
coed. although by greatly reduced ma
jorities. Both wings of the party are
now diligently engaged in their historic
occupation of 'burying the Ratchet
"In other words. the heretofore gen
orally expected Democratic success in
the closer districts of the country has
been put in jeopardy by the nomina-
ton of more or less popular insurgent
Republican candidates. and informa-
ton received by us indicates that
there will be little Republican boiling
ia such districts
