Perjury a Common Crime.

. Even cusual observer cannot have
failed to notice that there is much
false evidence given in our courts.
The fact is thrust upon ones atten-
tion. Not only in sensational mur-
der trials, but in almost every civil
proceedings or quasi-judicial investiga-
tion which is of sufficient general in
terest, to gain publicity, the reported
testimony is always contradictory,
and nearly always to such degree as
to be utterly irrecon cllable. There
seems to be little or no regard for the
sanctity of an oath, and yet with this
multiplicity of instances Of reckless or
wicked swearing one rarely hears a
word of reproof from the bench, and,
to Judge from the number of prosecu-
tions, perjury would seem to be the
rarest of crimes.-Buffalo Express.

tary martyrdom Is that the Lama be-
lieves after death he will be reborn
into very happy existence He has
no communication whatever with the
outside world, and the other priests
of the temple send In his food by
means OF a long pole, to which are
attached bowls. These are withdrawn
after an interval, and the only means
OF asoetaining the death of the in
mate Of the grotto is by the food and
drink not being touched. These grot-
toes are found in many places in Tibet
on the banks Of the Upper Brahmapu-
ira, and in the interior OF the coun-
try.
The Tibetans have some strange
tests for ascertaining the character
OF man. One Is by means of hole
in q block Of granite, through which
the individual has to crawl. If he is
an honest man he will, according to
the theory of the Tibetans, creep
through, but If a scoundrel he will
stop In the middle I'VE had very
funny experience with one of these
blocks of granite said DR.. Hedin. "A
fellow could not continue and could
not come back, and 50 all our men
had to tie ropes to his feet and drag
him out in that way
