OH AHD LAMA DtKt YOU NO. Ths Mysterious Wretch Who Notniw

•My Governs Tlhst.

There Is not one person In • hue dred in this country who know, whe or what the Grand Lama la. albsough everybody has been talking In ven guarded phrases about him since all the hubbub wac t aimed a few dayt ago respecting the approarhlng Brltla. sdranee on Tibet, wfierw this person age hati bis headquarters. The Grand lAtna—or Grand Dalai Lama, to give j him his full title—Is a man. or rathci a boy. living In the sacred city ol I l.basa. who Is gvnerally regarded a* an Incarnation of Buddha; and Inas muon as the fpivernmont of Tibet Is purely religious; ffce Grand Ixuna !► (he bead of U. and nominally tne equivalent to the monan-h. Tlio latter riservatloo has (o be matle betause 'tbe real admlnlstratoi I* a person bearing the title of the Gtblpo. in wi.ose hands the Grand La :na appears to he little more than n useful tool. T.ie Grand Laron always dies young, and nobody knows exact ly how except thl* Gyalpo. who could* probably write a few very good chap ter* of Tlf'etian history concerning the coming and going of the successive Grand Lanina, who rarely have a reign ef more than 12 years. It Is the Budd hist t radii Ion that they die of a mys teiions disease, and hi due course the Gvslpo say* they have died. But (here is slways a Grand Lama and so at the same time he announces that the spirit nas descended upon a little child, who will be found In a certain family In a certain house, and whose appearance he describes. Too people hurry there, and sure enough there Is that same little child, who Is carried off to the palace aqd becomes

the new Grand Lama.

The present unfortunate youn^ crew lure who sits In Buddhist authority over the people of Miasa has never been seen by any Europeans, least Yif a'l by any Englishman, although leading articles are Ijcing written about him every day saying what be will do and what be will not. as If he were a grown-up and authoritative monarch When tbe Grand Lama was last seen by any foreigner, and that Is some years ago. he was described as a child of about eight years of age. of bright and fair complexion, rosy cneeks. and Urge and lustrous eyes But. though so very Juvenile, be was emaclat-d. and looked already to bo quite tired of life. He was sitting upon n peat altar, which was something like an Oriental throne In ap pearance, and was borne by Hons carved in wood. He was a study In yellow. A yellow cloak enveloped his body. aiM a yellow hat of mitre shape was upon his head. He sat croas legged, and when any visitors approached he put his palms together as a sign of blessing. Surely this is the strangest enemy—If enemy we must regard him—that the British nation ever had.—Men and Women.

COMMERCIAL review

^ .The Grumbling Habit. Grumbling la a common habit with some people, and the singular feature is that no one grumbles over any really serious calamity, £aly about the real or Imaginary annoyancea of every-day life, which might as well be passed over In silence. A long train of passenger care stopped at a small surburban station, and necessarily the front and rear cars were a considerable distance from the station platform. Immediately there was an outburst of grumbling. "This is an outrage." exclaimed a lady, as she got out of tbe front car. "I've got to walk about a mile back to the station. Just because the company coesn't land me there." At the same momeni a lady who was getting out of the rear car was exclaiming: "Did any one ever see the like! I paid my fare to the station, but it seems the company Is too mean to carry me there. This ought to be exposed." Then there alighted a man from the middle car. directly opposite the platform. Of couroe. you will say. he was satisfied. Not at ail. He also was a grumbler, and must have hia say. As he dtscended from the car and saw that he was in front of the station door, he remarked,— "Huh! hit It right this time. Must have been an accident, though. Company too mean to accommodate anybody on purpow-." Meanwhile the other passenger* were as happy as larks, and never thought of making themselves miserable over what could not be helped.

Norfolk's Plact at tht Table. It is usual to speak of the Duke ot Norfolk as our premier duke, though, In tact, the dukedom of Cornwall was the eaylier creation. The latter, however, la vesteo In the aldeat ton of the sovereign and was merged In the principality of Wales shortly after* It was Brat conferred upon Edward the Black Prince. For all practical purposes the Duke of Norfolk Is the Aral of the order In England by date of creation; but aa a matter of relative precedence the duke Ukes only the Wfth place after the king and queen. Not only are tbe royal dukes and the Arab bishop of Center bury entitled to go into dinner before him and his dneheaa, but n couple of common barons in the persons of Lord Halabnry and Lord Ashbourne and n crowd of leas dlatingufabed peopla are In the me proud position.—London Tatlei.
