CREMATION IN SIAM

The Pricess Suntariat, one of the favor
ties of the King of Siam, and her infant
daughter were drowned last year about
forty miles from Bankok by the upsetting
of barge. The remains were embalmed
and kept about nine months, when they
were cremated with imposing ceremonies
at an expense of $500, 900 in decorations
and in the presentation of gifts, A cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier Jour
nal says that the rite took place in a cross
shaped building two-hundred feet in length
covered within and without with gilded
cloth. All the principal people and the
foreign representatives were present, and
fine quarter and free restaurant were pro-
vided. The fire was lighted by the first
King, the second King also being present
After funeral pyre had been consumed
there We're fireworks and athletic sports for
ten successive nights. Among other re-
prese- atoms was the lotus dance, partici-
pated in by fifty men swinging colored
lanterns.
During the entertainment each day
lines, a species of the lemon, containing
small silver coins and also tickets 80 a lot
terry, were scattered freely among the spec
tators. Many beautiful prizes were drawn
by both natives and foreigners. The
Buddhist priesthood were the principal
signers by this cremation. One hundred
thousand dollars were distributed in gifts
to these gentlemen of the yellow cloth.
This was done to make merit" with the
hope that some might reach the spirit of
the dead Princess Sun an ta-rhat, as the
wanders through the long travi of births
and deaths that awaits her before she can
find rest When the crematory services
were over, the ashes and few charred
bones were tenderly gathered and placed
in golden urn prepared to receive them
This urn was made almost entirely of the
jewels of the dead Princess, and small
one received the remains of the royal babe.

phoid fever, rheumatism or other com
plants, when in reality it is from trichina,
and the result of poorly cooked and dis
eased pork. A vast majority of all diseas-
es arise from imperfect kidneys or liver.
The liver becomes clogged, and it's work is
thrown upon the kidneys; they become
overworked and break down, and so the
poison gets into the blood instead of being
thrown from the system. No one with
perfect kidneys or liver is ever troubled
with ma1aria; and it is the poisonous par
ticles which these diseased organs allow to
get into the blood that clog the capillaries
of the lungs and tubeacles and consump-
ton. Thousands of children are dying
every year from dropsy as the sequel to
scarlatina; when in reality it is diseased
kidneys which have become weakened by
the fever they have just had Here is
another strange thing: not one in ten peo-
pie who have disease kidneys notice any
pain in the vicinity of the kidneys, for
these organs lose their nervous sensibilities
when they become diseased, and the symp-
toms are shown in hundreds of other
ways"
well, doctor, you have got SOME new
truths here, certainly, but they sound very
reasonable to me-
"Well, whether they are reasonable or
not have demonstrated to my own salts
faction that they are true, and propose to
stand by them, no matter how much oppo
sition I may raise by doing so. Any man,
be he politician, preacher or physician,
who is so considerate of his pocket book or
of his own personal ends as to stuitify
himself by suppressing the manifest truth,
is unworthy the name of man, and I'M
worthy the confidence of the public whom
he serves"

MR.. SUFFERS CAPTIVITY.

Mr.. Suter has given to a correspondent
of the London Standard at Salonica an ac-
count of the experiences he had while q
captive of the brigands:
''On the ght of the capture, Immediate
" after separating from his wife, he was
hurried off to a distance of twelve miles
from Isvor, where he was hidden all the
following day. His arms were kept bound
and two men were always standing over
him with loaded rifles for two days after
he was taken. The brigands were com
posed of two bands, one of thirteen, under
Captain Aristidi and Ghiorghi KatzarO;
the other of twelve, under Captain Nicola.
Some of the brigands were Ottoman
Greeks, some Hellenes, other Christian
Albanians and desertery from the Greek
army. There was always great dicord be-
tween the two hands, and in their quarrels
the captive life was often in great danger,
Mr. Suter and his captors slept on leaves
upon the ground. The days were
mostly spent in dancing, drinking and
singing when the brigands were not absent
on foraging expeditions, and part of their
time was passed in playing cards and in
telling stories of murders and exploits.
The brigands used most profane and bias
phemous language; but they were super
stitious, and were strict in their religious
observances. They tasted the whole of
Lent, and celebrated Easter Day with great
solemnity."
Then follows an account Of the negotia
lions for and payment of the ransom lead
ING to the release of Mr.. Suter. The cor
adds:
During Mr. Suffers captivity sentries
were always posted at advantageous posi-
lions. They wore capes to cover their
arms. The brigands were all capital shots,
and well armed. Some of their rifles We're
