BURIAL FOR TEN MONTHS.

turn from the court of RunleStlng, IN India
We mus, also add, that General Ventura, who
was one of the witnesses IN this extraordinary
transaction, testified to the correctness of the
statement when he subsequently visited Paris
Mr.. Osborne, SAYS:
Son the 9th June, 1885, the monotony of
our life in camp was agreeably interrupted by
the arrival of an individual who had acquired
great celebrity i'll the Pendjah The natives
regarded him with great veneration, on account
Of the facility he possessed in remaining under
ground as long as he pleased, and then reviving
again. Such extraordinary facts were related
in the country concerning this man, aud so many
respectable persons testified to their authenticity,
that we were extremely DESTROYS of seeing him
for Instance; Captain Wade, of Lodhana, in
formed me that he had himself been present at
the resurrection of this Fakir in the presence OF
General Ventura, the Raiah, and several men
of distinction among the natives, and that after
his interment had lasted several months.
.Ihe following are the details which were
given him of the interment, and those that he
added on his own authority of the examination:
al the end OF some preparations which had
lasted several days, aud which would be too te-
dious to enumerate, the Fakir declared himself
| ready for the experiment; the witnesses met
around tomb Of mason work, constructed ex-
preasly to receive him. Before their eyes the
| fakir closed with wax with the exception OF
his mouth) the apertures of his body through
which the air might be admitted; then he strip
| ped off all his clothing. He was then enclosed
in a linen bag, and by his direction, his tongue
was turned back, so as to enclose the entrance
Of his throat. Immediately after this operation
| the Falir fell into lethargic state. The bag
which contained him was then closed and sealed

wooden box, which was locked with paddock
and sealed The box was lowered into the
tomb, over which was thrown great quantity
of earth, which was trampled down and then
! sown with barley; finally, sentinels were set to
watch it day and night. Notwithstanding these
| precautions, the Rajah still was suspicious; he
came twice during ten months to see that the
Fakir remained buried, and caused the tomb to
be examined; he found the Fakir precisely as he
had left him, and perfectly cold and inanimate.
"Fhe ten months having expired, they pro-
ceeded to the final examination. General " EN-
tura and Captain Wade saw the paddock opened,
the seals broken, and the chest raised from the
! tomb. The Fakir was removed; there was no
| indications OF the heart or pulse. In the top
Of his head there remained some slight sensa-
tion of heat. After first placing the tongue in
| a natural position, and then pouring warm
| water over his body, he began to evince some
! signs of life. After two hours he was quite re-
stored and walked about. His figure is I'M
pleasant and his countenance has a cunning
expression, MI. 4tfsft
HE SAYS that he had delicious dreams dur
ing his interment, and that restoration was
very painful to him."

There is a good deal of science in making
up shocks properly; especially if rot fully ripe,
they must not be too large, nor too close at the
bottom, nor yet 80 loose as to allow them to
lop in and disturb the uprightness Of the shock.
In commencing, set up good sized bundle and

| stands firm and upright, then build around on
| all sides equally, bind in the tassels and an
other good and secure band two-thirdS Of the
distance from the bottom, and they viii not
blow over or lop down.
The best bands, when to be had are hop
vines, or rye or oat straw---as stalks when very
green, are tender and not to be depended upon
Many farmers bind them into bundles as they
arc cut up and then shock Them which is a
very good and secure process, convenient for
loading If taken under cover to husk which
may be done without unbinding, though gen
