In a rough sea one can easily: imagine the discomfort such an arrangement would impose upon indif- ferent sailors. The Captain of the Lindula explained that the B. I's heaviest stockholder had not been to India for over forty years and at that time first class passenger traffic was, extremely unimpor:ant; these accom- | modations being provided mainly for | the use of the ships' officers which of ourse was all well enough.

One of the first danger signals that an- ounce something wrong with the heart is the irregular beat or violent throb. Often there is only a fluttering sensation, or an "all gone" sinking feeling; or again, there may be a most violent beating, with flush ings of the akin and visable pulsations of the arteries. The person may experience & smothering sensation, gasp for breath and feel ga though about to die. In such cases the ation of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills in quieting the heart, restoring its normal beat and imparting tone to the nerve ogntres, is, beyond all question, mar- vellous.

TRIP AROUND THE WORLD A Racy Letter to Be Published Weekly by the Whig. > "3 SIGEL ROUSH. the is the most attractive, presenting as if | does many humane and praiseworthy | characteristics, Buddhism numbers al most one half of the entire ulation of the world among its votaries and its influence on early Christianity is con- ceded by many Biblical scholars. A few words concerning the history and origin of such a powerful religion may not prove unwarranted. - As you remember . Buddhism dates from about the year soo B. C. At that time Suddhodana ruled 'over the prov ince of India, about a hundred miles north of Benares. An only son was born to him. This son, Guatama by name, grew, into a thoughtful, silent boy. His father wished him 'to' become a great warrior king like himself, and | though Guatama was not lacking ir bravery and military skill still the life of a powerful ruler seemed distasteful to him. The sight of sin; suffering and sorrow greatly depressed him and after a drive through the squalor and poverty of the naive town he would return tc his father's palace and weep. Noi wishing, however, to thwart the old king's ambition, he took unto himseli a wife and went about preparing him- seli for assuming, when that time should arrive, the legal duties that sooner or later would devolve upor him. A son was born to Prince Gau tama and his father's loyal subjects re ceived the news with loud acclaim. Meanwhile Gautama grew more anc more imbued with the unsubstantial anc unsatisfying nature of -worldly pomg and worldly pleasure and secretly de termined to turnito the calm of a holy life. He longed to attain that peace o mind that only religion can give As the years passed the desire to re nounice the world became more am more uncontrollable and insis:ent. Nei ther by day nor by night could he fre. himself from this overwhelming con viction. At last he determined to act and, fearing the ties of the family anc friends could not be overcome shoul he openly announce his intention practice the life of an ascetic, he turn ed away from the door of his wife lamp-lit chamber at midnight, denying himself even a parting caress of mis new-born babe lest he should awaker the sleeping mother and child, and gal lopéd off into thé darkness. After a sorrowful all-night's ride he dismissed his father's 'charioteer whe iad accompanied him tq the edge of the jungle, and after exchanging his royal robes and jewels for the dress of a com | mon wayfarer entered upon a life o self-abnegation. His long, warrior hai was cut off, his head shaven and a long yellow tunic was donned. This make up has ever since served as the badge of the Buddhist priest. These priest: also subsist wholly upon the charity o the community This giving up of the princely pomp of loved wife and new born babe is the Great Renunciation which forms one of the favorite themes of the Buddhis scriptures. Assumed Title Of Buddha. Gautama now assumed the title of "Buddha," which literally translated means "the Enlightened," a term in- tended to mark the time of his emerg- ing from the darkness of the world into the light of holiness, For a-gme he studied with ~twc Brahman hermits whom he met in the forests of Patna. They taught him that peace of the soul was only attin able through bodily subjection Ac cep.ing this idea he buried himsel deeper in the jungle and, for six years, in company with five disciples who he had won to his way of thinking he wasted himself away by. several physi austerities. The temple Buddah Gaya marks the of this long pen cal of site ance But instead of obtaining the longes for peace fasting and self-inflictec torture, he sank religious despair he Buddhis® Bible affirms that at thi time Mara, the enemy of mankind as uming lily shape, daily wrestled wit! him - Torn with doubts and crazed witl conflicting emotions he finally sank one lay eless to the ground.

The man whose back is lame an sore can't afford to trifle with th hundred and one so-called cures fo lumbago. He needs a powerful, pen etrating pain destroying liniment- one that will quickly sink into all the tendons and musecles--such a linifent is "*Nerviline,"" which acts like light ning. Right to the spot it goes carrying healing, soothing properties to the nerves and muscles that cause all the pain. "When my back was so painful that I couldn't turn in bed, when rubbing hot irons over my back failed to ease, when 1 cried aloud with agonizing twinges--then it was that I used Ner- viline and got quick rolief and was ultimately cured. There is something in Nerviline that isn't to be -founc in other liniments. Its power over pain and its facility for sinking into the core of the sore parts is simply a marvel. © After. getting rid of the pain and when I started back to work of course 1 wore a Nerviline Porous Plas ter over the weak spot.

He announced to his five companions ms intention of going again into the world and spread- ing the new gospel to all mankind, and, they at once forsook him. But he was now sorely beset by de. vils that besought him to give his intended career. Not being able to bribe him they threatened him with flaming weapons and divers implements of destruction, but serenely he sat under | a fig tree secure from diabolical harm | From this "temptation in the wilder- ness" he at length came forth, his doubts forever laid at rest, his future work clear and with a fixed determin- ation never to relax his persistent pur-' suit of a life devoted to the betterment of mankind. 3 He began expounding the new gospel in the dense forest north of Benares I have previously alluded to the ruins of the great temple that marks this spot. At first the people were loth to accept the unfamiliar faith for, unlike the Brahmans, his gospel took no ac- count of caste, condition or race. Hie first converts were common people, both men and women being among them, for the new religion struck the shackles of slavery from womanhood. In thre¢ months he * had. gathered around him sixty disciples who, after being fully instructed i he tenets of the new faith were serilforth to the neighboring provinces with the injunc- tion, "Go you now and preach the most excellent law." Converts Fell In Line Rapidly. Buddha spent eight months of each year as a wandering preacher. The ré- maining four month he abode at some fixed place where he prepared new dis- ciples for the work, and preached to the thousands that now flocked to hear him. His old father, the king, received him tolerantly and with reverence. His yife became a nun and an ardent work- sr to promulgate Gautama's faith. Princes, merchants, artisans, Brahmans wd hermits, husbandmen and serfs, noble lords, and repentant ladies daily yecame converts and earnest promoters sf Buddhism. The religion grew to a great organization that no: only in- luded all India, but began to reach out o Tibet, to China, and to Burma. Several native rulers proclaimed it the rational religion, and for a thousand years it flourished in India in the very shadow of its most formidable rival, linduism. Buddha's great renunciation ook place in his thittieth 'year. After six years of preparation in the jungle ve began preaching. From this time ll ve died at the age of eighty, he was sver assiduous in spreading the new yospel. In the evening of a long life he salled his faithful disciples around him ind besough: them to "be earnest, be houghtful, be holy, and to keep stead- ast watch over your own Hearts." "He vho holds fast to the law and discip- ine and faints not, he shall cross the scean of life and make an end to sor- ow." As the end approached he ex- slaimed : "The world is fast bound in etters, 1 now give it deliverance, even \s a physician who brings heavenly nedicine. No more shall 1 speak to ow. 1 desire to depart, 1 long for Nirvana, the eternal rest" It was said he spent his last night yu earth in comforting his weeping lisciples. According to one account hiv ast words were "work out your own alvation with diligence," The secret of Buddha's success was indoubtedly the spiritual freedom em- yodied in his teachings. He preached hat salvation was equally open to hall men and that it must be earned, not by yropitiating imaginary deities, but by me's own conduct, He did away with acrifices and with the priestly claims »f the Brahmans as mediators between nan and God. Larn his life and in all future lives was th& lireet result of the sum otal of his ywn past acts, "What a man sows that je must reap." He taught the punish- nent of sin and the reward of good, hat all misery is the result of evil con- luct either in one's present or in some jast life: that when any creature dies 1 t or de tate according ta his merit nerit Life, according to Buddha, must al vays be more or less painful, and that he object of existence of every good nan is to rid himself gradually of all vil influence and finally to merge his ndividual soul into the universal spi Chis is Nirvana, literally "cessation. e It s not as some explain, like the blowing ut of a lamp, but the final peace of an ilvsorbed = His rule of conduct was, control over elf. kindness to all mankind and rev- rence for the life of all living crea- ures. 'Fhe latter part of this rule finds 1 exaggerated expression; in the Jains, 'vidently a variation of the Buddhist sect, who number nillion adherents. It hat several hospitals yeasts owe their origin. We thus note some of the origimal enets of Buddhism and though they sou Jains and the birds for to revisions of the faith that yeen made in the centuries that fol- owed its introduction, still the faith emains substantially the same to-day is it was expounded by Gautama. ous In The Buddhist Temples. The Buddhists, with the exception of he.priests which they cremate, with nich pomp and ceremony, bury their lead. Their temples.are filled with the mages of Buddha, who has become heir one god. These are usually in a iitting or reclining position, and com- nonly made of alabaster or white narble. In size they vary from sta- uettes to great images, sometimes orty feet high, or rather in length, for nost of the heroic Buddhas are carved from granite and represent the patron saint in a recumbent position The great Shive Dagon Pagoda at Rangoon is perhaps the largest and most ornate Buddhist temple in the world. It is approached by a long thé entrgneq py two great dragons. The sther- end qf this ascending corridor pens into the temple area in the centre f which arises the great gilded tope or receptacle of the sacred relics. These relics may consist of a bone, tooth, hair, yr nail of the Buddha. In shape these topes resemble an irregular flattened cone with the central part gsing in the form of a gilded shaft of varying di- ameter to a great height, terminating in an obling globe-like ornament Around this tope which is sealed with solid masonry are innumerable shrines, each containing an image of Buddha. It took me an hour to make a leisurely circuit of these hundreds of shrines at the Shive Dagon Pagoda.

Flowers were scattered on the altars and Buddhist) worshippers 'sat before the images counting their beads and repeat- mg prayers. 4 .: The rémarkable freedom of the witdle temple area was most noticeable. The Christian could wander in and about the shrines and he would not be noticed. A simple sign at the entrance', reads "Please he as respectful in the temple as you would be in your own church." That was all--no silly rules about removing one's shoes or avoiding certain holy or forbidden precincts or touching any of the sacred objects. When 1 saw the freedom and natural hases of the Buddhist 1 did not won- er that the faith was so popular and enduring. No beggars pestered the visitor, and even when I asked a local priest for permission to use my camera he imposed not the slightest objection The people themselves reflect in their faces and manner the praiseworthy traits of the faith. They scem humant and approachable. The Hindu always appeared as foreign to me, as if he be longed to another world. I could never imagine ever having a point of common Ynterest with him, but the 'Buddhist-- the Burmese Buddhists at least--are an entirely different people, botly in appear- ance and character. : There are several other pagodas in Rangoon that will prove worth a visit, but of course the Shive Dagon is the one lion of the place. Elephants At Work. This morning we visited the teak lumber yards and saw the elephants at work. These powerful animals shifi the logs and place them in position with almost human intelligence. The huge sticks of teak are fleated down the Ir- rawaddy river from the forests in up per Burma and sawed into lumber a Rangoon, from where it is shipped te all parts of the world. Teak is an ad- mirable timber. It is easily worked and possesses an essential oil that not' only preserves i, but renders jt fred from the attacks of all destructive in- sects, ' American missionary work in Ran goon is extensive and effective. Be- sides the Catholic work the American Baptist Society maintains a large mod- ern college here that numbers in its matriculants about 1,200 native students At present this society is completing a new college building that compares favorably with similar institutions of any country. The Methodists also have large schools in Rangoon. The Bur- mese are bright, and take to European' education very readily. President Hicks, of. the Baptist College, told me the college work was most satisfactory. [he visitor to Rangoon is struck by the modern progressive phases of the city in every respect. It is comparatively, free from the native filth of other, Oriental cities, regularly laid out and characterized by many modern build- ings. The streets are wide and the parks and artificial lakes most attrac- tive, ' In Victoria Park we made the ac- quaintance of the Burmese sacred white elephant. This elephant was found in the jungle when only a few days old Its color made it at once an object of reverence. It was brought to the pal! ace of the king and reared on human' milk furnished by native women who vied with each other for the privilege of nursing this sacred babe. When the English took oyer the Burmese govern- ment they found this elephant in the royal stables. They placed him in a comfortable pagoda, built in the park for his lord- ship, 'where he is annually viewed by thousands of both natives and foreign- ers. He isnot bigoted, however, and took bananas from my occidental and unbelieving hands with evident relish and trumpeted for more.
