TWO TRANSCONTINENTAL Buddhistic countries for more than a thousand years. One story told to ac count for their origin is to the effect that they were originally cattle of the ordinary height and bulk; that a Bud dhistic priest was once imprisoned in a stone building, one-half of which was used for a cattle stable. During the night he managed to dislodge one of the stones in his prison wall. The stone in question was exactly feet square. It was almost daylight when this apostle of Buddha felt the air rush through the opening he bad made and realized that he was al) but free. He knew that he would be unable to get out of the enemy’s country on foot, so he prayed that he might be provided with a beast of burden that would safely carry him to the homes of the followers of Buddha. No sooner bad he done this than one of the large oxen which had been quietly feeding in a stall at his side walked leisurely to the 30 inch square opening and miraculously passed through it. The priest followed and mounted the now sacredly dwarfed beast and was soon safe iu his own country. Since that time, so the story goes, there has been a breed of "sacred running oxen” in Ceylon, which never grow too tall to pass through an opening the size of that made in tho prison wall by Bud dha’s representative on the night when he miraculously escaped on the back of the first of the famous dwarfed oxen.— St. Louis Republic. as well as in England, but it is only in England that heavier damages are awarded for a broken heart than for a broken leg. The offense is all but un known in the French law courts, whether it is that Frenchmen are less inclined to it or that the French girl dislikes bringing her sentimental trou bles into court. To show English read ers how incredibly prejudiced French persons of both sexes are upon this sub ject it is enough to say that a young lady who attempted to turn her wound ed feelings into cash would be regarded as only a degree less mean thau the faithless man. The very small number of suits for breach of promise have always been supported by a plea that the lady was put to expense, and there must be be sides evidence of an intent to deceive. Damages in any case are very small be side the royal amounts awarded by Eng lish juries. Recently an action for breach of promise a l’Anglaise was brought into the Third Paris police court. The lady and her father, as near est friend, produced a bill showing that they were £50 out of pocket for the broken engagement. They might have had this; but, badly advised, they put on another item of £350 for the moral prejudice. The French judge did not understand this, and he dismissed the case.—London News. Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of roses which had been bound into a garland and buried with the dead thousands of years ago. M. Crepin, the botanist and microscopist, made a careful examina tion of this queer find and prepared a paper on it, which he read before the Royal society of Belgium. From this I>aper it appears that in places where the flowers were matted together they still retained their color as well as a very faint odor. The species to which they belong is now extinct, but a rose resembling them in several particulars is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia. —St. Louis Republic.

What Victoria Could Do. As a matter of fact, our sovereigns have rarely taken any active part in politics since George Ill’s time, but they could still do some very astonish ing things if they chose. Tbe queen could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in our army, from the commander in chief to the youngest drummer boy. She oould disband the navy in the same way, and sell all our ships, stores and arse nals to the first customer that came along. Acting entirely on her own re sponsibility, she could declare war against any foreign country, or make a present to any foreign power of any part of the empire. She could make ev ery man, woman and child in the coun try a peer of the realm, with the right, in the case of males who are of age, to a seat in the house of lords. With a single word she could dismiss any government that happened to be in power, and could, it is believed, pardou and liberate all the criminals in our jails. These are a few of the things the queen could do if she liked, but it is not necessary to say that her majesty never acts in matters of state except on the advice of the government for the time being.-^London Tit-Bits.
