Suttoe, or the practice of immolating widows on their husband's funeral t pyres In India, was llrst attacked by tlio British government in 1S29. It was on Dec. 4 of that year that Lord William Bentick carried a resolution in council by which all who abetted suttee were declared guilty of "culpable homicide." In the year 1817 700 widows were burned alive in Bengal alone, but since the passing of the act the practice has entirely died out. Suttee was really a primitive rite, a survival from barbarous times, and not sanctioned by Hlndooism, the passage In the Vedas supporting it being a willful mistranslation. But 110 previous governor had the courage to violate the British tradition of religious toleration. Lord William Bentlnck also suppressed thuggism, which made strangling a religious rite to the goddess Kali. St. Faarnn'a Castle. St. Fagan's castle in sojth Wales is named, like the parish In which it is situated, after one of the earliest missionaries to this island. According to the Venerable Bede, St. Fagan was sent to Britain by Pope Eleuthcrius in the second century.

The castle is a picturesque mansion, with high gables, built within tlie walls of a castle erected in the twelfth century by Sir Peter de Vele. The parish is noted as being the scene of a fierce battle in 1G48 between the parliamentary forces under Horton and the Welsh royalists, the latter being defeated, leaving 2,500 killed on the field and 3,000 prisoners in the hands of the enemy.

It is put up in bright red packages made out of the feet of waterfowl. The women cut off the red feet of this bird, which is called the dovckie, draw out the bones and blow up the skiu so as to make pouches, which they fill with the reindeer tnllow for their little folk. None of the food that the Eskimos eat seems very inviting to us. but thev are extremely fond of it and are very apt to overeat.

When traveling on long journeys the dromedaries are In many eases required to travel night and day without rest, and the beasts are kept up to their tasks by smoking cigars. The driver carries a triangular piece of wood, which is pierced at one point like a cigar holder. This is inserted in the mouth of the benst, the cigar being J lit and pressed into the bole in the same < fashion followed by man. "The dromedary Immediately closes!

Voltaire upon receipt of his first letter in French from Frederick the Great told Frederick that he was a better French scholar than Louis XIV., who committed many mistakes. Frederick replied that Louis was a great monarch in many respects, and a mistake in spelling could not tarnish the brilliancy of his reputation. A Turkliili I.ove Story, Do the Turks love their women? Yes, both in life and in death. In life, read the love songs and in death the epitaphs to the beloved ones passed to the silent realm. It is true the Turk goes to the Arabic, the Greek, the Italian, for love songs, but he sings these to his lady's eyebrows, and the story he tells of the quality of his love ri3es to the purity at times of prayer: One knocked at the beloved's door, and a voice answered from within, "Who is there?" Then he answered, "It is I." Then the voice said, "This house will not hold thee and me." And the door was not opened. Then went the lover into the desert, where there is nothing .but Allah, and fasted and prayed in solitude. And after a year he returned and knocked again at the door. And again the voice asked, "Who is there?" And he said, "It is thyself." And the door was opened to him. Match that in your Yedantas if you cr. n.?I'lliludolphia lhvss. Wukiiifc the Sleepers.

This ener getic individual was likewise armed with "a sharpe thorne" for the benefit of those who "be most sounde." There Is a i*oeord of the use of this implement upon Mr. Tom kins, who was sleeping comfortably in the corner of his pew when Allen "thrust his staff behind Dame Hallard to give 1dm a grievous prick upon the band, whereupon Mr. Tomkins did spring much above the floor and with terrible force did strike his head against tlie wall and also to the great wonder of all 'prophanelle' exclaim in a loud voice, 'Iluss the woodchuck!' he dreaming, as it*seemed, that a wood chuck had seized him and bit his hand." y Connections II one Until You! eiving a large stool lave employed an ea er foot for having con > will be gone, when We are in the busin< all work. ar and Manul SkiL fcl Office Bank Building: Union, 8. .0 Fa da.
