Buddhists Put Up Problem
, \in Government.
Tjr inodt (*>Opl<? It WOtlld appear, tt<'
cording il? a Bombay pai'<T? vary natural
tluit\thn famous temple of Budh
(Sayn, the"iltast Kaered spot In all the
world to il'?' Buddbl*L should bo under
tlialr control.
But It is not, an<! In recent years
tha Buddhist coiiiiuunliy lias he<m curI
rylng oil an agitation wlijali has for
Its object tin- persuading of the goyI
eminent to give tliOlo ilia right to manage
the temple In the Interests of their
faltlh.
1st hare, In India, any temple which
has associations with so many fait s
as this beautiful structure In Ouyo?
The original building, "??t 'he present
one. for this Is of a comparatively
modern period, was built over the
place made sacred by the great teacher
Buddha, who here received that enlightenment
which was the basis of
his future teaching, and today Buddhists
come from ull purls of the world
to pay their homage at this shrine.
There Is something very impressive in
the sight of some pious Buddhist who
has made a Journey of thousuhds of
miles, along difficult roods, to rest
his eyes on this sacred spot, every
Inch of which has been honored by the
presence of the Buddha.
But what Is found when, one passes
Inside the temple of Buddha? Here It
an Image, hut strange to say, It hears
the "trident" mark, the emblem of
Vishnu, and even more strange, the
rites are performed by a Brahmin.
Could anything be more Incongruous?
The pious Buddhist pilgrim places reverently
his pieces of gold leaf on the
aaered Image of Ids Lord, hut he must
pay In his gift to the Brahmin priest
who officiates. Nor. Is this nil, for It
Is found that the Mahant or gdardlnn
of the Buddhist "lloly of Holies" is a
Mohammedan, and he can easily
how his right to the post.
How? By reference to a sanad
grunted to him by a "Christian" government.
Thus, these four faiths are
associated In this central shrine of
Buddhism, unci It Is not surprising that
Buddhists resent the ownership being
In the hands of others. The British
government will doubtless give due consideration
to the petitions which have
been sent by representative Buddhist
bodies.?Montreal Family Herald.
The War Debts
The late Col. Frank 11. Bay, organizer
of the American Tobacco company,
often used to laugh over the
things Mil rope said and did about her
war debts.
"F.urope," he once observed to a
New York correspondent, "Reminds trie
irresistibly of the young man tit the
seaside.
"Lolling on the sand under a parasol
with n pretty girl, this young jiiuu
murmured softly:
"'(lee, hut I wisli I had enough
money to marry!'"
"The girl blushed. Then with lowered
lids she said:
" 'What would you do If you had?'
" 'Travel.' "
Ships on Scrap Heap
Ships emne and ships go. hut on the
whole we hear very little about them.
Here are some remarkable figures
about the world's fleet:
Last year there were lost through
one cause or another 31(1 merchant
ships, totaling nearly two million tons,
and nearly three-quarters of them
were steamers or motor ships.
This does not mean that there were |
more wrecks, for there were actually
fewer; but the huge total of more
than 1.1100.000 tons of shipping was
scrapped, t lie. biggest figure ever recorded.
Britain alone scrapped i!GO,000
tons.
Taxing Bachelors
The tax on bachelors recently Imposed
by the Irish Free State, recalls
the fa.ct that William 1IIS to raise
money Tor the war with France, Imposed
a tax. which remained operative
in this country from ltMKi till 170G,
making every unmarried man pay for
his freedom In accordance with bis
social status. The impost graded
down from ?12 lis. per annum
in the case of dukes and archbishops
ho lis. for gentlemen, esquires, and
doctors, and 1s. for "other persons."
Jail Turned Into Hotel
At Throckmorton, Texas, there has
been so little demand for space in
the jail that the county commissioners
have arranged to convert it into
a hotel. The cells have been fitted

been hidden by draperies. The interior
has been made fairly cheerful and

Peruvians Kept Count
by Knots Q Spring
Among the ancient Peruvian* there
whh a system of expressing
within pi'oiKMibotatf tlieiu or writing
tliehi in luiiguuge. This consisted In
> u method of Intertwining strings anil
tying vurloUH knots, It ">t? culled u

head or top at ring. 10 which, at certain
distances, thinner one a were fitsp
II- 'I. 'i be I "P ft]I lUg w ah iiiurh thick'
r than the pen(ieilt strings. which
were fast.oiied to it hy a single loop;
the kinds wore iniulo In the pendent
strings i:nl were single or manlfohl.
Till; length of the strings varied The
transverse or top siring often measured
several yards, and sometimes
only a foot. The branches of pendent
strings were seldom more than two
foot long, and In general they were
much shorter.
. The strings were often of different
colors, each having Its own particular j
signification. The color for soldiers
was red; for gold, yellow; for silver,
white; for corn, green.
The (pilpu was especially employed
for numerical 'and statistical tables,
each single Uhot representing ten;
each double knot stood for 100; each
triple knot for 1,000, etc.; two single
knots standing together made 20; and
two double knots, 200.
In this manner the ancient Peruvians
kept the accounts of their army.
On one string Were numbered the soldiers
armed with slings; on another
the spearmen; on a third, those who
carried clubs.
This method of calculation Is still
practiced hy the shepherds of Puna.
Asserts That Poverty
Is Punished as Crime
It Is a common cant'phrase among
the comfortable classes thut poverty is
rot a crime. , Like most cant phrases,
it Is a lie. Poverty Is a crime, or the
world would not punish it bo severely.
Any man who has been poor?I do not
mean "i.ard up" or short of money,
hut actually poor, and horn among the
poor, as 1 was?has something of the
resentment felt hy a man who lias
been iu prison.- he bus suffered
us talicb as any man, who commits a
serious crime against society. Put
with the - difference that he does not
know what offense he has committed.
I received the llrst punishment early
lu life, rt.d lt? was some time before
\ could, discover that my offense was
poverty and bumble birth. There Is
no relief for that suffering. So long
as boyo born among the poor dare to
have brains and line footings and a
d,osir<? to escape from moan streets, so
long they shall he made to pay the
price of their daring.?Thomas -Burke,

The climbers of Kverest saw a herd
of wild slice p sitting on a glacier

animal existence far above
the Himalayan snow-Une and 4,000
feet above the last vegetable growth.
These were small spiders.
They live In Islands of broken rock

they ate one another.
Wingless grasshoppers were found
