Chinese Tea MYTH.

An interesting myth has been woven
about the 5 O'Clock tea" According
to a Chinese legend, tea was discov.
cred by son Of an Indian king,
Darma, who In $40 A. D. paid a semi,
religious visit to, China. To prove his
religious fervor. Darma led an austere
life, ate only vegetables. and prayed
constantly. He vowed never to sleep
that he might devote all his time to
prayer, but one day, after many years.
he was overcome with drowsiness and,
against his will, slept On awakening.
he wept bitterly To show his re-
morse he cut off his eyelids. The. next
morning he found the eyelids. metasor-

this legend points out that Darma
chewed some of the shrubbery and
learned its 1arousing properties. In
1859, the Chinese presented the "chaa"
or "tea" leaves to the car. and later
they were introduced into London.

SLOW TO ACCEPT BUDDHISM
People of Japan Loath to Embrace
Faith Introduced Into the
Country by Korea.

Buddhism was introduced into Japan
by Korea in the year 552. It was first
embraced by the higher classes, partic-
ularly in scholarly circles, but the
lower classes still chung to their old
faith of Shintoism. The doctrines of
Buddhism were written in the'Chinese
language and the believers offered
their prayers in that tongue.
At one time Buddhism made such
strides as to become the state religion
in Japan, but the people still opposed
it with q determination of unfolding
their own Shintoism, until the states
men and priests invented an ingenious
way of explaining and interpreting the
religious principles of Buddhism.
They adopted the theory of monothe-
ism as well as polytheism by saying
that there is only one supreme power
which is personified in the form of
various gods and goddesses, according
to the different countries and different
institutions.
The principles of Buddhism and
Shintoism were thus reconciled and,
In order to convince the popular mind
of this theory, Emperor Shomu pa

bronze statue of Daibutsu or Buddha
at Nara, the statue being completed
in the year 752 after Ii years of cast
ing and construction.

Buck soliloquized as he walked rapid
