tion was unique But there are many able
men who would be an honor to the state in

living ex governors than any other state in

candidate So is Gov. Smith of st. AL

for calling it., the chief of which is the

The Fijian Way.

The Fiiians spend no inconsiderable part
of their lives making mats in which to be
buried, and every house has a greater or
smaller pile of them rolled up among the
rafters, with which their owners will not
part for love or money Whenever graves
are made they are bottomed with clean dry
sand brought from the seashore, and some
times sarcophagi are made of slabs of soft
sandstone, over which, when the bodies are
placed within, a slab of the same material
is lowered and the grave filed with earth.
Formerly cave sepulchres were formed by
digging straight down for 10 or 20 feet and
then running shaft horizontally for an
equal distance. In hollowed-out chamber
at the end of the shaft the body was laid,
generally in reclining position. In the
case of very old persons, to whom it seemed
desirable to hint that as they had outlived
their usefulness, it would be decent for
them to accelerate the shuffling off of this
mortal coil, it was common not to wait for
their decease, but to put them in the hole
while still alive, leaving the aperture open
and dropping food down the perpendicular
shaft at stated intervals When the food
was observed to be no longer utilized, the
natural conclusion was that the inmate had
said farewell to mundane affairs, and the
hole was stopped by rolling a stone over it
and covering it with earth. By this con
siderate action the veteran who Jagged su-
perfiuous on the stage was generally assisted
to that better land for which the sagacity
of his relations perceived that he was so
well fitted
