Cuba in the same relati IN as Canada occupies

Training for u Corpse.

A carpenter in this city, newly raised
to the dignity of ''prophet" in the I'm.
proved Order of Red Men, came near
burning up his shop night or two since.
A friend and brother in the order was
lying very ill-at the point of death, as
was thought. In case of his death there
was certain ceremonies to be performed
over the body while lying in the wig.
wam' by the prophet. Now our prophet
had never undertaken the performance of
these ceremonies, and he was not sure
that he would be abe to acquit himself
creditably when he came to undertake
them with tho whole lodge standing about
looking solcmnly on. He thoug ght he
should like little previous practice.
With this in his mind he persuaded bis
partner, also Red Man, to Join him in q
rehearsal and take the part Of the corpse.
The partner saw no harm in having such
a rehearsal, and thought it would really
be a good thing for his friend,
the prophet. Accordingly broad board
was placed on two trestles, and the part
ner who was to be the corpse stretched
upon it at full length, closed his eyes, aud
told the prophet to proceed with the
funeral ceremony. The prophet. in full
war.paint, and with a cows tail stuck
behind his ear, then began prancing
about tho remains. With some prompt
ing from the corpse, he got through with
his mummeries in very fair shape. He
then caught up a torch made of fat
splinters, and began = solemn dance
around the decorous and appreciative
corpse. While in the midst of the dance
and a dolorous chant, he suddenly dis.
covered that in waving his torch he had
left trail of fire behind him in the
shavings covering the floor, which com
pletely encircled the sedate remains. The
corpse took in the situation 1T the same
moment rs did the prophet, and the two
wound up the rehearsal in : very lively
little fight to save their premises. Both
had their hands and clothes badly
scorched, and the partner swears that It
is the '*last time he will ever train for 4
corpse.'
