Cremation in Siam.

A writer says "During a residence
of several years in Siam I neither saw
nor heard of a single burial in that
country, nor did meet with more than
three Siamese tombs. They were the
'Tombs of Three Kings said to be
centuries old, and all that I could learn
of their history was that beneath those
gorgeous monuments of black granite,
exuuisitely chiselled and adorned with
mosaics in gold, silver, copper, ebony,
and ivory, reposed the ashes of the
three famous warrior kings who had or
dered the bodies to be buried instead
of burned In order that the siugularity
of the circumstance might keep the
memory of their virtues and bravery
ever fresh in the hearts of their sub
jects. Burning is now, and has been
for centuries, the universal custom IN
Siam-preferrsd, it IS supposed, be-
cause of the facility it affords Tor re
moving the precious dust OF the loved

ceptacle massive golden urns containing
the ashes of eight, ten, or twelve gene
rstions of ancestors; and these are cher

Soon after song was called for and given,

bed back their mournful response to her

to lift her eyes, and through the shining
mist of her tears she saw Capt. l..
standing apart from those who had gather
ed around her, bis arms tightly folded over
his chest, his proud head dropped slightly
forward, his brow knitted as if IN sharp
pain, and his eyes bent upon her with
sorrow and rerroach, such regret and un-
speakable tenderness, as she never saw On
face before, something Of the agony
that must have been on Lucifer's, when,
hurled from the battlements Of Heaven, be
turned one last, despiaripg look at what had
once beer his own. 1t was as if an eternity
of love were concentrated in a moment,-a
fierce, and hungry love; as though, madden
ed by restraint, he wuold tear himself free,
gather her to his bosom, and shield her in
bis heart from q world he was ready to
defy.
At the same instant, Mrs. L, who was
attentively regarding her, followed her eyes,
saw, and rs well as she, the look on her
husbands face. One glance Of hate she
gave them, then glidcd silently as a serpent

Something about Sugar.

TO the delight, as may safely be assum-
ed, of every child to whose ears the words
shall come, and to the equal surprise,
doubtless, of many fond and cautious
parent, the eating of sugar is now consid-
cred, by high medical authority, as not only
not injurious, but positively beneficial.
One of the ablest and best known English
Psychologists, DR.. Bridges Adams, inves-
ligated this subject sometime ago in 4
manner that left him in no doubt as to the
value of sugar in its relation to food.
Knowing, by experience, the difference in
nutritious effect produced by the flesh of
tired cattle on a march, and those slain in
Il condition arising from abundant food
and healthy eXercise-that, in the former
ease, any amount might be eaten without
the satisfaction of hunger, while in the
latter a smaller amount realized that pur-
pose-his investigations led to the discov-
cry that certain other food, of 4 different
quality, such as grape sugar and fruit,
would help the tired meat to assimilate,
and thus remove hunger. He asserts,
therefore. that puddingS and fruit tarts
are not to be regarded as simply batteries
of the appetite or palate, but as really di-
gestive agents, provided that they are not
themselves made Of indigestible materials
The fondness of artisans for confectionery
and the inclination of patients just dis.

rather than for substantial food, are exam
Piles of correct instinct; and, in the case OF
children, in whom the requirements Of
growth call for a rapid and efficient trans
! formation Of food into tissue, there is nc
doubt that natures demand for sweets is
very imperious, and parents should, there
fore, understand that the jam pot increases
the amount of nutrition extracted from
| beef and mutton.
/ This view of the nature and effects o
sugar was entertained by the late Prof
Liebig, who was accustomed to say that
instead of sugar being, as thought by some
the most dangerous constituent in pastry
it is in reality the least so; that is. If no
added in too great a quantity to cakes ant
tarts, sugar is transformed into Tactic acid
and assists the stomach in digesting. Botf

creased and the digestion promoted; it als'
while being digested, enriches the gastric
Juice with substance which assists in dis
solving the aliments-for the sugar, OF
coming into contact with the saliva, ha
been partly transformed into Tactic acid
which acts upon the alimentary principle
in the same manner as does the hydroch
loric acid of the gastric juice.
In regard to the effect of sugar on tn

the story of one of the well-known veter-

the effects of this restitution, for he slept so
soundly his sleep of innocence that he was
obliged to be repeatedly called in season to
take his morning train. 1t is no wonder

A CAT WHIPPED BY ROBINS.-An eX-
citing contest was witnessed in the Court
House yard recently, between a cat and
some robins, that is worth chronicling. A
robin had a nest under the north stoop of
the Court House, and her brood of young
robins made their first attempt to fly. As
one poor, half-fiedged bird was laborious-
ly flying near the ground, a tigeri>h-look-
ing eat spied and gave it chase. The bird
flew us best it could. but the eats swift,
stealthy steps gained upon it, and the fate
of the bird seemed sealed. But its terrified
cries brought relief, and just as the cat
pounced upon and seized it in her mouth,
half dozen old robins lit on her hack
with fury that was perfectly astonishing
to her catship, and dropping her prey she
incontinently turned tail and flew across
the ward, the relentless robins pursuing
her with their vengeful cries. Not until
the cat took refuge in an adjoining build
ing did the birds give up the chase, and
return to the young bird. The latter was
unhurt. and the noise of the contest hav-
ing drawn to the spot twenty-five or thirty
other robins, it completed its days prac-
tice under ample protection, and amid :,
gathering of birds tongues seldom heard
in northern elimes.-Geneseo Republican.

A writer in John O'GrOdt'S Journal,
describing the exploits of il gigantic High
lander noted for his agility and streng h.
winds up his account with the following
adventure in which he (the writer) TOOK
part when boy.
The most astounding feat, however, re-
mains to be told; but it is no easy matter
to tell it so as to give any idea of the real
ity. At the lower end of the valley of
Braemore the river struggles for some
hundred yards through Il rocky gorge of
Alpine sublimity. Here the whole stream
is confined between two rugged rocks in
a channel some eight or nine feet wide,
Just at the point where it falls some forty
feet in one whole sheet into a deep, dark
and hideous gulf below the rugged and
awful precipice.
At this place. one cold winter evening
Neil and | found ourselves on the wrong
side of the river. 1t was deep, roaring
flood that no man or horse could swim or
wade. We had gone far. and my strength
was exhausted, so that Neil had to bundle
me on his back. How we should cross
now was the question. My Scotch giant
proposed a way. 1t makes my flesh creep
as l remember it.
III leap the gorge 0tsr the falls, if
You won't be afraid"
I'm not be afraid if you'll keep hold of
me-" l said
Neil scrambled down the rocks till he
came directly over the cascade, which
roared beneath us with the multiplying
echoes of the precipces around, like the
believing of thousand lions let loose.
Little did | know the nature of the spot,
or else l would not have been carried
there by saint or sinner.
At last Neil is standing on the very
verge of that laundering cascade, and
meditates leap to the other side. But
first he made sure of his hold of me, and
then, selecting the most likely spot to
alight on the opposite rock, which was
rather lower, he took a step or two back,
and then, with all the spring power of a
Bengal tiger, shoots across, and we both
alight on the opposite side, and begin our
scrambling exit from this never-to-be-for-
UOtten scene
