Ella Wheeler Wilcox Tells of
Life on an Isle Where
Buddah Reigns
Bf ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
"Th Island of Monastery of European
Bhlllnes, December li. ml. 1 am a mem
ber of a Buddhlstto monastery. This mon
astery la located on an Island In the
center of a lake, well away from all
noise and confu
sion. Wa are all
Europeans. Each
member - has his'
own small vlharo
toJ live la. Our
teacher la the well
known Oerman au
thor and professor
of the Pall lan
. goes. 'Bhlkkna '
Maynatlloka.' The
object of this mon
astry Is to learn to
lira the teaching
as t a a g h t , by
Buddha, and to as
sist others In doing
so at they so de-
aide. And so It
'ji..
moral and very beautiful: In fact. It dif
fered only In very slight decree from the
rellfton of Christ, who cam Mt rears
later.
There have been many chances made In
th teachings of both masters by their
followers: priests, translators and Inter
preters. Buddhism, as It Is found In the
Orient today. Is, rarely the same thing
which Buddha taught; and It la almost
Invariably depressing, Just as the ortho
dox Christianity of the Puritan fathers
was depressing.
Old-fashioned Christianity ' and Budd
hism both dwell too much upon the un
happy phraiea of this earth ,tfe: upon
the abam and si sLownea . of all earth y
hopes and pleasures, and upon the purely
awital plane . In which wa live while
tw-re.
The religion the world needs today Is
the religion of hope, courage and aspira
tion a rtllgton which rouses us to de
velop the Godlike 'end God-Inherited)
pwtrs within ourselves, and which
Sialyl us realise that earth is one room
t heaven, and that we art Just as mack
"dlvit . . n. en ei I . . cing now aa
we will ever be snywher.
Instead of thinking earth la a miser.
with thi thought )n mind that I writs
you this letter. . - ,
"Now, dear friend. If you know of any
gentlemen who would Ilka to come here,

"All expenses ot living, clothing, books
and' lessons are furnished free by the
monastery.
"And now. kind friend, knowing- you as
I do. through your writings. I feel you
are ln a position to assist us In giving
soma deserving on a chance to liver a

"If you- wish to publish this call you
art? at liberty to do so.
'We win be pleased to furnish you with
any Information regarding the workings
and object ot this monastery, ' '
"One thing only, brothers, do I make
known:
"Buffering" and deliverance from suffer
ing. O. FRANKLIN." "
Having visited the lovely Island men
tioned. It is not difficult to understand
haw ana who baa become weary of the
Strife sad turmoil of modern life in the
centers of -civilisation could be perfectly
hsppy la a negative and dreamy exist
ence on that charming beauty spot ot
earth. ' '
On has small need of fuel there. The
simplest and lightest materials serve as
clothing: native fruits and vegetables
grow In abundance for food and conse
quently the expense ot existence is re
duced to a comparative trifle.
Especially is this true of the monks and
priests; for their garments consist of on
saffron colored cotton robe, resembling
the. Komxn toga: and their feet and
beada are bare; aad their diet strictly
vegetarian, while fasts are frequent.
The religion of Buddha was highly
heavenly ap. ates; a glorious piece for
happiness. If we seek It In th right way.
taitat way lies through activity of all
our threefold powers tbe physical, th
mental, the splrttusl.
To be well In th midst of sickness; ti
be active 'among th Idle; to be mora;
among the Immoral; to be honest In the
midst of dishonesty, and to keep alive
Ideals of love end friendship and citt
senshlp, n matter how many others de
stroy such Ideals this la a greater and
nobler wiy of serving Qod then dwelling
In a monastery and meditating upon the
beauty of heaven and the bliss of Nlr-
At the same time, when a man feels
that bis happiness snd his splrltuil
growth II In tne life of a. monk, it Is
unquestionably his right to take that
path. And If he Is to take It, I can
Imagine no more Ideal spot to choose
than th Island mentioned In th letter.
It would doubtless surprise many a
Christian scholar to find bow muoh of
the philosophy of Buddha was afterward
taught by our gentle and great Master,
Christ.
One thing which Is notable in the
Orient, among the Buddhists snd the
Brahmins, and, indeed, all sects. Is the
earnest manner In which they make their
religion a part ot their dally lives.
Speak ot prayers to almost any Ameri
can or English business man or society
man and he will always answer with a
Jest Not one In one hundred will say
that he believes In prayer or thai he fol
lows any frm of devotion dally.
In the Orient It would be difficult
to find some one who did not speak of his
devotions reverently as a part ot life's
most important obligations.
Indeed, it la a common sight to se
men leaving their offices and sitting by
the roadside to breathe, meditate and
pray.
And no en! save Christian etranvere
looks curiously upon them. Copyright,

The Right R6ad to HealtH "A Sure Cure for "The Blue
By ANNETTE KELLERMAXX. '
Having tbs "blues" aerer did anybody
any good, but they are a roost popular
complaint When you get th "blues" It's
Just Ilk starting on a mental tobog
gan slid.
Down. down, down, you go until there
seems to be no bottom to th depttt of
depression you can reach.
Th lower you get th wore Impetus
you gain to speed Into the blackest pit
of melancholy and distress.
Almost everybody gets th blue now
snd then, except people who clrculatioa
Is perfect
Pome people make a habit of the blues,
and eventually - become unbearable to
themselves snd to their neighbors.
Woman are especially subject to mental
despondency, and many times I have seen
young girls who thought It waa rather
smart and "different" to affect a melan
choly disposition and a languid air.
If you pretend to be a thing you can
generally succeed m being it really, and a
state of mind like the "blues ' la not to
be played -with. These girls develop into
thoie dreadful whiny women who- go
ground complaining of. everything and
sre forever low In their minds end blue'
Then they wonder why they hsve no
friends. V.
When you feel yourself starting a day
badly, when 'you wake up teetlng blue,
stop with a Jerk.
Start Out the Diy
Witi Deep Brttthiig".
Bay to yourself: "I won't let myself
slid down Into the siough of despond. I'm
going to climb right out" . . ... .
Jump up and go to the open window.
Throw up your head, raise your ansa
and lift the body utUH you are standing
en tiptoe, inhaling as deeply ss possible.
Then exhale as you lower your arms and
bring the feet back to rest on the ground.
Do this twenty or thirty times. Inhaling
through the nostrils, and keep your mind
on th fresh air that you are breathing
and on the process ot clearing out the
nostrils and lungs which Is going on, net
on the low and depressing thoughts that
ar giving you th blues.
I believe you can control your thoughts
Just sa you can control your muscles,
and that you should do this. You cannot
get any real benefit from physical exer
cise anless you keep your mind centered
on what you want the special exercise
to do for you.
Now you want these exercises to coun
teract the "blues." and I can assure you
It will do so If yoa will b persistent and
remember to drin your mind as well as
your body. .
If yoa work si a dek or behind a
counter, or It yoa ar a butterfly who
should be hsppy, though I notice they
are no more contented than girls lea
fortunate la worldly goods, don't get th
habit of being blue. ,
For It's a habit that can b acquired
and It Is ruinous to success la any
career.
There never waa a brilliant social light
who allowed herself to be victimised fay
morbid thoughts r th blues. Th
women In society who wield th area teat
Influence all have personal magnetism.
Magnetism Is health and vitality, and
anything that Is physically - depleting
deprives one of this atagnetio quality
which Is the thing that attracts people
to us and make us suoceesfuL
If you are a business girl watch your
self carefully. You will sjotic that on

UK rid or them.
Uet out In tbs sir snd learn to breath
rhythmically If you suffer from melsn
rholla or th "blues." When you start
out for s walk train yourself to Inhals
for a certain number of steps snd then to
exhale for the same number.
for Instance: To begin with, take In
the breath for six steps snd let It out
for six steps. The larger number ot step
you ran take during Inhalation the better
It will be. For. of course, th mora you
breathe In the nior th lungs ar ex
panded snd the mors oxygen enters the
blood. '
It Is oxygen which must euro you of
the "bluee" fresh, pure air being forced
through the system snd cresting physical
energy to throw off the laxy, laty feeling
of mental depression.
This method of rhythmic breathing
should become a fixed habit so that on
lS3y-th supreme court of th United
States rendered Its decision In the famous
Dred Bcott case, and It Is fairly within
the bounds of truth to say that the opin
ion that day deliv
ered by th honor
abl tribunal mad
the war between the
states a foregone
conclusion.
Dred Scott was a
lavs belonging to a
surgeon In the
United 6lstes army.
He was taken by
Ma master to Fort
Sneling. In the atste
of Illinois, territory,
from which, by th
ordinance of I7s7.
slavery had been forever excluded. After
ward he waa ea tried Into Missouri, where
he was hired aa a slave. Claiming f feo
dum on the ground that his residence In
Illinois hsd wiped out hit status as a
slave, his esse was taken befor th su
preme court for settlement
After) a three years' consideration of
th case th decision of th court was
pronounced In aa exhaustive opinion de
livered by Chief Justlc Taney, sevtn of
the nine Judges concurring.
. la. substance, th decision was as fol
lows: '(I) That persons of ths African
race wer not,, and could not be, acknowl
edged aa "part of th people." or cui.
tens, under th constitution of th United
Wales; (I) that congress had ho right to
exclude cttttens of th south from taking
their negro servsnts, aaany other prop
erty, Into sny part of th common terri
tory, snd that they wer entitled to claim
Ita protection therein; (I) that the Mia.
designated line, waa unconstitutional and '
void. ' .-,
Th court, la Justifying Its ruling, used
these words: "In that portion of th
United States where the labor ot th '
negro raoe waa found to b unsulted to .
th climate and unprofitable to th mas
ter but few slave war held at th tlm
of th Declaration of Independence; aad
when th constitution was adopted It
had entirely worn out In one of them.
and measures had been taken for Its
gradual abolition In aevaral ethers. But
thm Chang had not been produced by
any change of opinion In relation to the
race, but becauat It had been dlscovsred
from experience that slave labor waa ane
suited to ths ellmat and prod uet Ions of
those ttatea; for some ot toot states,
when It had ceased, or nearly eeased to
txlst war actively engaged In th Slav 1
trade; procuring oar roes on th coast ot ,
Africa and transporting them for sal to '
those parts of th union where then- labor '
waa found to bo profitable aad suited to
th climate and production. Aad this
traffic waa openly carried on, aad for- '
tunes accumulated by It, without re- ,
proach from th people of th ttate
where they resided."
The decision raised a tempest tram a
end ot th country to the other. Feelrog t
ran high. Many northern democrats
broke away from th party. Douglas,,,
who, but for th decision, might havt '
averted the sectional division, waa shorn "
ot half of hla strength. Ths democracy.,
split up, lost control; Mr. Lincoln waa
elected on an avowedly anti-slavery '
ticket; th south seotded, and ths delug
was upon us!
Never was aa "opinion" of a court fol-'
lowsd by results so stupendous and tar-
reaching.

In fart th atmosphere Is fsr more
t reshero u In Its moods and far less
stable In Ita conditions than the stormiest
ocean, and It possesses certain strange
secrets which may never be fully divined.
More terrible to th aeronsut snd th
aviator, and more Inexplicable than the
whelming surges which sometimes sweep
a ship from end to end In said ocean, ar
those egregious phenomena known as
"boles In tbe air."
"As aeroplane entering one of these
low densUy regions from the air of higher
density around It" tays C. O. Loaning,
"will suddenly fall without sny warn
ing, merely because the pressure has
enormously decreased snd ths areoplane
hat not had tlm to attain th requisite
velocity of support in this lighter
medium. "
The fact la perfectly familiar to all
aviators; but what la the explanation and
how shall th danger be guarded against?
How can ther be in the midst of th
air a place wher the density suddenly
become so amall, relatively, that th
affect upon an aaroplan I almost ss M
It bad plunged into a vacuumt Thee
places cannot b seer as a coming bil
low on the sea can be observed afar
off. Th aviator Is aware of their ei
Irlenoe only when he suddenly finds Ms
machine plunging and dropping.
A scientific Journal, criticising ' Mr.
Loenlng't statement speaks as If ths
only conceivable cause of a "hole in
th sir" must b a violent whirl. Ilk
th center of a cyclone. But nothing
of th kind Is ever observed. Th sir
Is not disturbed, everything goes smooth
ly, and. without warning, lit machine
runs Into a "hole."
The probability Is that ths change lit
density la far less than it soema to be.
Th disastrous effect Is due to th deli
cate balance, of th aerial conditions on
which ths aeroplane depends for Its sta
bility. A drop In atmosphere density '
which might not be very noticeable with
the barometer would suffice to upssf
that shadowy equilibrium, and tbs slight
ehsngs In th supporting fores would
cause th machlat to swerv. plunge
snd become Instantaneously uamanag-
able. Recent Investigations of th up-
per air hav shown that sxtraordlnary
differences of density exist In adjacent -atmosphere
layers a snd It must be as
turned that similar differences sre cap
able of manifesting themselves In parti
of th air nearer th earth's surface.
Their precis' cause remains to be dis
covered, but their existence is as
menacing to a swiftly moving aeroplane ,
as would be a Beat ot quicksand to a
galloping bora.
