Cremation i'm the East

pyre, After adding sweet grass, pre-
cious oil, and more wood, the chief
mourner bears lighted torch three OF
nine times round the body, touches the
dead lips with the holy flame, and
lights the pyre. Then it is kindled in
several other places, and in very short
time the body is consumed by the flame

woman of aesthetic tastes. Calling on a

Eight house keeping" she showed us
her kitchen with pardonable pride.
retty CHINA was displayed on shelves,
brackets, and In tiny cupboard; Japia-

the walls, and there was nothing about
the room suggestive of cooking except
an innocent looking oil stove, which
stood on a box curtained with chntz,
bearing printed figures from the opera of

are your kitchen ptensils-your kettles,
Tins and .brollers?' With a smile our
friend pulled aside the curtain which
hung below the oil stove, and there In a
box we're all the utensils necessary In
cooking. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the dressing case was only
used to hold groceries, while the wash
stand concealed the tin dish basin, soap,
etc. Market baskets, tea towels, work
aprons and the like were stored away In
the wardrobe. ''Hoy DO you dispose of
refuse scraps; fruit and vegetable parlngs

Ceylon Pearl Fishery.

The earliest fishery OF which we can
find any detailed record took place in
the year 1895; and from that date the
Ceylon Government, up to the year 1874,
derived sum of lob 13 from this
source. The pearl oyster is curiousIy
migratory in its habits; and from one
cause or another the banks are for years
together almost totally deserted by
them, and long intervals elapsed during
which the fishery has, from this peculiar
ity, been closed, rendering the return
from it quite unreliable as a source of
settled revenue. Thus from 1872 TO
1746, from 176S to 1896, and from 1888
to 1854, there were no fisheries at all,
and it was feared at the latter date that
the oysters had altogether deserted the
banks.
A few words descriptive Of the system
under which a fishery is conducted will
be OF interest. A report having been
received from the inspector that there
are sufficient oysters Of mature age on
the banks, the Government advertises q
date for its commencement. 4 large
number of boat owners, both Celonese
and from the opposite coast Of India,
apply to enrol their boats, and these
probably to the number of $50 to $50,
are divided into two fleets, sailing under
red and blue flags, which proceed to the
banks, situated some six miles from the
shore, on alternate days. Each boat
provides its own crew and divers, and
has on board guard to see that the
oysters fshed are not surreptitiously dis
posed of. Each diver stands on fiat
stone attached to the diving rope, and
after taking long inspiration, CLOSES bis
nostrils with one hand, and descends on
the stone to the bottom, where he has
tly collects as many oysters IN his bas-
ket as the time he is able to remain at
the bottom admits of. This varies very
much with the capacity of different men;
but in spite Of all assertions to the con-
trary, we believe that few divers can
stay below beyond forty-fve seconds.
At a given signal the boats all sail for
the shore, and on their arrival they are
unloaded under inspection and the oys-
tiers placed in the Government kottoos-
palisaded Enclosures with cement floor.
Here the oysters are counted, and the
proportion due to the boat owners for
their services is made over to them.
The remainder, which is the property of
the Government, is put up to auction
and sold to the highest bidder. The
purchasers remove their lots to private
kottoos, where the oysters undergo the
disagreeable process of rotting to enable
the pearls to be washed out. The stencil
resulting from this decay is fearful, and
it has often happened that the opera
tions have had to be prematurely closed
in consequence of the resulting outbreak
of cholera 1t says much for the care

Talked Too Much.

4 detective declares that men will talk
and give themselves away. II they
could only hold their tongues they
would be safe. An American vessel was
mysteriously set on fire at sea and
abandoned; but the fire was smothered,
and it was afterwards found that her
cargo, which had been insured for large
sums, was fraudulent all the way
through, the wine casks being filed
with water, etc. The sailors swore that
the matches had been closed, and there
being no other way of getting into the
hold the cause of the fire baff1ed every
body. But the captain and mate, who
were both arrested, soon began to talk.
The mate was given to understand that
the captain had made confession, so
he was in q hurry to tell all he knew to
get out of the scrape himself; and with
the mates confession to show the captain
there was no difficulty in bringing him
out. The thing was so well contrived,
if these men had not given it away it
could never have been found out. In
the cooks galley, under each of the four
feet OF the stove, they put block Of
wood. as if TO raise the stove. Under
one Of these blocks was hole opening
directly into the hold, Under the hold

cd with turpentine. One day, while the
cook was out Ct his galley, the captain
and mate raised the stove, took away the
block, dropped lighted match through

two men not only talked themselves
into prison, but put their employers
