Mongols Who Never Bury Their Dead.
Tho vast region of country lying be.
tween China and Siberia known as
Mongolia presents this striking con.
trast to the Middle Kingdom, that
while tho latter appears like boundless
cemetery, the land of the Tartars has
not grave or q memorial stone. The
Mongols are living In constant expecta-
lion OF returning to their old hcme fat
off to the southwest, and they want
nothing to keep thcm from undertaking
the great emigration. The intensity OF
desire to be led back to the land of their
fathers is most suggestive of the prayers
and wailings of the Jews because OF the
desolation OF Palestine and their agony
ofI0s giag for its res estoration. When
thoy re punished enough and reduced
to remnant, they say, then will their
Messiah return from heaven and bring
back their dispersion. What becomes
of the bodies of tho dead in this grave
less landl
You can read an exact description Of
the condition of things in Mongolia to-
day as foretold in the prophecy of Jcrc-
miah Over 1000 years ago: ''They
shall die of grievous deaths; they shall
not be lamented, neither shall they be
buried, but they shall be as dung upon
the face of the earth. Aud they
shall be consumed by the sword and by
famine, and their carcasses shall be
meat for the fowls of heaven and for
the beasts Of the earth" Although this
describes state of things begun in
Palestine, it does not end there. The
Mongol puts the corps of his friend on
cart or other conveyance to be dragged
with great speed by horses on the
plains, and whenever it is thrown there
the dogs and wolves may make re-
past.
Both Chinese and Mongols explain
the difference between their customs in
this way: EIth returns to earth, flesh
to the hesh--that is, tho Chinese, whose
bodies are fed by the grains of the
earth, return to it as natural recon-
pense, while the Mongo, who lives on
the animal kingdom, must, as atural
result, feed it in turn. Read jeremiah,
xvii. chapter, to see how the geographi-
cal position, religious condition and the
like make people like the Mongols
just suited to tho prophecies regarding
Israel. Shanghai Mercury.

Remodeling Quaker Marriage Laws.

Important changes in tho marriage
laws of the younger branch of the So
ciety of Friends are now under consid-

next quarterly meeting. The changes
recommended are "to discourage" in
stead of to sdiscountenance mixed
marriages; or strike out the prohibition
against courting or excepting company"
with or attending the weddings of peo-
pie who are not Quakers. The rule
recommending "treating with" persons
violating these regulations and "testify-

Scratchers Must Keep Quiet.

complains that we are trying to read
him out of the party. Nothing is
further from our purpose. We
heartily..detest intolerance in any
shape. We admire a man of opin-
ions and the courage to express
them. A leader in advanced
thought, pioneer in progressive
ideas, is always censured. The
world abuses him until it grows up
to him. The Post says:
The PULASKI CITIZEN lays down the
proposition which we suppose is to OBJ
tain among the advocates of Bob Tay-
lor, that he who is not for q re-nomina-
ton is not democrat. That's not it's
language, but it means only that.
We beg to be understood correct
ly. We made no such silly propo-
sition. We did lay this down as a
political principle and we dare Col.
WINS to refute it: A democrat who
cratches ticket has no right to
be heard In party councils until he
purges himself of disloyalty by vot-
ing the party ticket again. Apply
the principle to the facts, !. e.: Col
WINS scratched Gov. Taylor's name
off his ticket at the last election, and
now Col. WINS cannot be heard te
advise the party what to do unit
after he has re-established his rela-
zion TO the party. His violent crit
icism of Gov. Taylor is especial,
ill-timed and unwarranted, seeing
that his contumacy consisted in al
assault upon the party committed
upon the person of Gov. Taylor, thu
regular nominee.
