The religion inculcated by Buddha
had certain cardinal points-the en-
couragement Of the ascetic life, the
maintenance of virtue. the exhOrtation
to persons of all castles and both sexes
to aim at deliverance from the evils of
existence and, lastly, the attainment of
Nirvana.
But In Tibet Buddhism has been
grated on to the earlier devil worship
Of the people. and a religion has been
evolved better expressed as Lamaism,
or modified devil worship. so that In
addition to the Buddhas and Bodisats
there have also come to be tutelary
and guardian deities Of terrifying
and malignant aspect. whose duty it Is
to defend the faith and the faithful
people from external attack. These
deities are depicted in grotesque and
terrible forms I'm all the mOnasteries,

Paste This on the Family Tool Chest.
The idea of this cabinet is to furnish
amusement to the family when they
have scratched up all the furniture and
done all the damage elsewhere they
can think of: therefore
Do not replace or put back anything
that you take out Of these drawers.
Try, If possible, to select and remove
from this cabinet some article or tool
that is absolutely indispensable, leav-
ing it preferably out In the back yard.
II you have anything hanging about
your room that is Of no earthly use
you might store it In one Of these
drawers.
Remember that the main idea Of hav-
ing this cabinet on the premises Is
gradually to fill it with utterly useless
things.
And remove from it at the same time
all the useful things.
Patience! Keep at 1t and you are

Naming a Famous Dish.

II you sre a gourmet you like lob
ster. The man who made lobster a la
Newburg famous refused to have his
name go with It. He gave Delmonico
the recipe. and Del gave the delicacy
the name 1t bears today. while that of
the benefactor is never heard outside
Of the little circle In which he lived.
Well, the creator Of the dish was
Benjamin Wenburg. a New York bro
ker. He used to take his luncheons at
Delmonico's downtown place, not many
blocks from the Battery. When he told
Del how to make lobster la Newburg
1t had no name then-Del put 1t on
his bill and called it lobster la Wen
burg.
Wenburg got angry about 1t and told
Delmonico If he didn't remove his
name he would feed elsewhere. The
big caterer reversed the first syllable,
and the title has been what you have
been accustomed to see ever since

African Grosbeoks.

The social grosbecks Of South Africa
live In large societies. They select q
tree Of considerable size and literally
cover It with a grass roof, under which
their common dwelling is constructed.
The roof serves the double purpose of

this aerial dwelling are built In regu-
lar streets and closely resemble rows
