Saving the Droge of Water That Washed
The latest event in the religions world
is the death, funeral and cremation of
the chiefest priest of the largest snd
most powerful Buddhist sect in. Japan.
' The funeral was attended by many tens |
of thousands of p ple from all over
Japan. The person of this priest is so
very sacred, and anything that has come’
| iu contact with it so very precious in its
| merit and powerful in itsefficacy tosave, |
that every drop of the water that was
used in washing the body after death
was eagerly sought for and gratefully re-
ceived by the priests and laymen alike,
Little bamboo joints were nsed as
vials in which to receive and carry sway
the precious fluid. This water will be
used as drops of saving elixir when the
body of some believer ia washed for its
. burial—as 8 few drops of the attar of
‘roses might be used in a bath—and the
one receiving this washing will be insur-
ed a safe and happy entrance into the
. Buddhist paradise.

~The typical Americans have all been
. western men, with the exception, let us
‘say, of Washington. Washington bad
pot had much of European culture. The
~ qoalities that made him a great com-
mander and a great t were
~ qualities which would ‘have made him
‘an equally great froutiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton or Madison
or Livingston or John Adams or the
Pinckneys living tolezably on the fron-
tier. They are pot Americans in the
sense in which Clay snd Jackson and
"Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
" that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge, a more culti-
vated appreciation of the value of what
was old and established, a juster view
of foreign nations and foreign politics;
that they had been more like Webster
and lees like Jackson, and we may hope
that the typical American of the future
will be wiser and better poised. But in
the meantime the past is to be under-
stood and estimated as the facts stand,
aud only a thoroughly sympathetic com-
prehension of these men, who have actu-
ally been the typical Americans, will
enchle us to effect that purpose. The
fact that Clay rather than Webster,
Jackson and not John Quincy Adains, |

ful assets. The marquie has been gal-
lautly endeavoring to prevent this con-
summation since 1800, when bankruptcy
proceedings were first commenced
against him, and the delay secured is a.
rare tribute to his cunning or that of his
lawyers. His lordship’s chief lament in
that he is married, and therefore unable
to wed an heiress. He has no doubt of '
. his personal attractions or of the com-
mercial value of his title. Yet these
assets are unrealizable because,

The sum of $1,370 is rather a high price
‘to pay for a turkey dish, yet this is the
figure at which one was knocked down
to a purchaser in Penn township at the
sale of personal property of Levi Geiss.
' The dish is a rare old piece of chinaware,
' beautifully ornamented, and was pur-
| chased 20 years ago at a sale hy Mr.
Geiss for $2.50. Each of his children ex-
pressed a desire to have it, and as they
could reach no agreement as to who
should be the owner they decided to put
it up at the sale of the other housebold
effects. It was started at $10 and run
, up rapidly at $20 a jump until it was
awarded to the youngest son—Peter—at

It is seldom there is a tinge of romance

one. Miss Sinclair, whose home was at

tions bad been gained by a worthy young |
man whose home is not far from the

poor. She determined to do ber part in

A gentleman just returned to London
from the racing and other festivities at
Cannes calls my attention to a social
feature of the royal gayeties in the past
fortnight which will be of special inter-
. est to Americans. Ome of the first acts
of the Prince of Wales on his arrival at
the Riviera was to make a personal call 4
upori a private citizen of the United
States. Two days later the prince invit-
ed him to lunch, an invitation which the
- American was unable to accept, because
he himsel! was that day entertaining ex-
Empress Eugenie, Grand Duke Michel
‘and other royal gnests. It is a fact well
known in all courts and salons on the
‘continent that no untitled individual in
all Enrope is so cordially welcomed in
the most exclusive circles of royalty and
aristocracy as this man. His name is
‘James Gordon Benpett.—New York
Son's London Latter,
Rather Awkward,
The readiness with which French ju-
ries acquit husbands who take the lives
of their wives’ lovers leads sometimes to
awkward mistakes by too hasty spouses.
An unlucky glazier was repairing the
window of the boudoir of a iady whom
her husband suspected. The master of
the house entered and canght sight of
the man behind a curtain. He pulled a
revolver without a word and fired at the
glazier, who is now in the hospital bad-
ly wounded. The husband feels very
foolish, but is willing to pay a big bill of
damages. — Paris Letter.
An Important Railay.
The important strategic railway con-
necting Tien-tsin with Shan-hai-Kwan,
the town at the eastern foot of the great
wall, where it runs down to the gulf of
Lintong, is now completed, and the new
Chinese minister to Londou travelad by
it last week. He was thereby enabled
to reach the sea and get a steamer for
Shanghai instead of having to remain
the winter in Tien-tsin or be carried
down by chair nearly a thoussnd miles
overland, Tien-tsin being frozen up from
December until March.—London Times.
A Philadelphia Inquiry.
The Philadelphia Inquirer quotes sta-

cially ahead of Philadelphia, and it wants |
