THE NUNS OF TIBET.

"SHE WHO HEARS THE CRIES

OF ALL THE WORLD.”

Miles beyond the great ramparts of anowy peaks separating the twe Buddhist States of Sikkim and Tibet, far from the leares and worries of this world, among the rising craigs of a prominent range of insun. tains that rise out of the 'ærit plains to the north of Gynnste, little white`specks, tiny be syn mestling on the bighest rocky liff These white specks, as the Eng fishmm, are the abode of the Xams of Tibet in the monastery deligated to this Goddess Dolma-" She who hears the cries of all the world.”

Those bravis women, forsaking the world with all its alluring pleasures, its cares and Its joys, have given up their lives to a call- ing which is as pure and wholehearted as those of the Sisters of Mercy, Birth and deaths appeal to them, for they mean pain, and to beat and alleviate suffering ura the heters that have made them take the vow renunciation from all things worldly.

Dressed in their red buke (lamnistic rohe) barefooted and with shaved heads, covered with a long haired sheepskin cap dyed a bright red, they go about their duties in the monastery and where suffer and

pain calls then aning and sucowring the sick and lying,

lives are devot el to the services of the Coddess Dolma, sho who, like the Virgin Mary of the Christians, commands the sport and loves of the Tibetans,

They live their quiet seined lives the quiet monastery, enrrying out similar

monastic duties as those allated to the monks of the larger monasteries of Tushi!. umpe, Shigatzoland Sora

DETY AND LOVE:

Their fare is frugal as their lives are bure and, as they enjois duty and love to the children. they praesies what they preach towards their goen! Abbess, an old woman of many sunniers with a kindly fness and soul, whose days are not long by fore she too, like her predecessores, will lie on the lap of Dolma is the loys and pens which passeth all understanding, and for which she has striven all the days of ber life.

Another point of importance for the party was the maintenance "of the right of property. The moral argument in favour of properly was that it was wrong to take away property, unless there was a reason to justify it. Human beinga had the instinet, of aequisition and pos session, and these constituted the moral: right and basis of property. There were people who said they could effect some sort of social reform by making the well. to-do poor. But whether that be ex pedient or not, he would say that such a policy was immoral. There used to be Land Song," one line of which went. a popular song in polities known as "The

Have you ever slept in a haunted house?

Have you ever felt the goose flesh creep over you at some weird, mysterious sound?

Have you ever felt that someone was watching you--or have you ever seen a abadow move-when you know perfectly well thut no one was in the riom except yourself?

One does not have to be a coward to feel this fear-it is the fear of the unnatural, but a brave man is going to try to find the cause.

Here is a mno-forced to spend a year in a house of mystery. There is a hidden treasure-a charming spirit of a girl-and crooks who are after the treasure, all woven into a tale of hidden purposes.
