BUDDHISM IN EUROPE.
Buddhiews has made great strides in Europe during the post year. The membership of the Buddhist Society of Great Britain and Ireland is now counted by hundreds, and branches have been established in Liverpool and Edinburgh. Prof. Rhys Davids, the writer on Pali and Buddhlet literature, is its president. A Scottish convert to Buddhism, who is now a monk in Burmah, is shortly coming to England. sa first resident missionary, Great pregress has also been made by the German Buddhist Society, which has two important Press organs in Leip zig and Breslau. Propagandists have been especially active in Hungary, where five editions of Subhadra Bhikka's Buddhistle Catechism have been exhausted. For the first time in Europe an attempt has been mads there to get Buddhism officially reengnised by the State, No that it could be taught in the schools. The plan was not atrocessful owing to the opposition of the Roman Catholics.

QUEEN AMELIA'S FUTURE HONE.
The Pope has anthorized the sale of the Palace of San Telmo in Seville to the Countess of Paris, as a residence for her daughter, Queen Amelia of Portugal, The Palace was for many years the residence of the Infanta Maria Teresa sister of Isabella 11. and wife of the Duke of - Monpensier; but the Duchess, then a widow. signed a dood on her deathbed bequeathing the property to the Archbishop of the diocese for the establishment of a seminary for priests This unlooked for disposition caused great ill. feeling among the people of Seville, who had al- ways considered the Palace as the property of the nation, and deeply grieved the Countess of Paris. The Duke of Orleans sontested his grandmother's will in a lawsuit which lasted. for some years, but eventually the seminary was founded, and the Countess established herself with her family at Villamanrique, some 15 miles. from Seville. The Countess and her children bave always been extremely popular there, for their charity and benevolence are household words among the peor, and the prospect of Queen Amelia's return to deville in her widowhood is hailed with delight by every bedy. The Palace stands on the left bank of the Guadalquivir, with an imposing Baroque frontage, extending for a considerable distance The grounds, which were beautifully kept up in the time of the Infanta, contain some inter- esting Roman sepulchres and many fine trees. The Palace was built in the 18th century for the purposes of a naval college, hence its dedica- tion to the saint who watches over mariners..
