A Big Question.

Why do not the Cinnamon who 90 to
Mexico stay in Mexico, and why do moi
the Cinnamon who go to Canada stay in
Canada, and why do not the Cinnamon
Of Cuba and other West Indian islands
stay theres Why do they want to get
into the United States, though they can
aot get here without heavy cost and much
trouble to themselves, and though they
are liable 10 arrest when they get here, as
violators of our anti Chinese laws? Is it
because the Mexicans, Cubans, ahd Can
adams have fewer shirts to wash, or ara
lass particular about the washing of those
they have, than the Americans, or is il
because the fan-tan, pipehitting, theatre
cal and Sunday school attractions of the
United States are superior to those of
Canada, Cuba, and Mexico, or is it merely
because they like to come to country
which they are prohibited from coming
TO? 1t is rather hard to tell; but GER
tain it is that more Of them manags
ka get here in these times from Mexico
and Canada than ever got here at any
,ther time since the passage of the ex.

ANCIENT SACRIFICE IN INDIA.
A Custom Not So Prevalent as Has Been
Supposed.

A Custom Not So Prevalent as Has Been
Supposed.
The following letter was written to ths
leicester Journal, and is dated at Burd-
wan, January 81, 1920. 1t has been re-
vived as showing the horrors of the now
abandoned East Indian custom of the
suttee.
II was present, said the correspond
ent, "at the awful ceremony of woman
burning herself with the corpse of her
husband. I was conducted to the house
Of deceased, who was of the husbandman
caste. found the body laid on mat,
the widow heated by it getting her hair
combed. When she saw me she crept
on her knees toward me, begging per-
mission to burn herself with the body
of her husband. As soon as the magis
traces seave arrived for the awful cere
mony, the relatives placed the corpse on
d bier which they carried, and on which
the widow was seated. She was car.
ried to the place of funeral, amidst
large crowd, on whom she scattered
parched grain. The funeral pile was
made in a hollow cone dug in the earth
about four feet deep and five diameter at
the month"; 1t was lined with dry wood
and partly filled with combustibles. AT
ter the widow-had bathed in an adjacent
tank, the corpse was placed in the cone.
At this time she was SO exhausted that
relation was obliged to bear her up in his
arms. When again on her feet, she tore
off part Of her robe, wrapped it around
her eldest son, child about years old.
After this, many men and women fell al
ner feet and kissed them.
The victim exhorted the women to fol.
low her example should they ever be in
similar state. The boy now threw
lighted torch in the cone, when it blazed
with great fury. The widow walked
Ghree times round the cone, throwing in
resin to enliven the blaze from a pot
which she had under her arm, then
jumped with alacrity into the flames and
seated herself near the corpse. She was
in moment enveloped in flames, which
the crowd increased by throwing in tow
and other combustibles, and she kept
clapping her hands, after the epidernlis
was nearly burned off her body. Her
hands then rell; she was soon dead. but
still the body kept its erect seated post
ure. and appeared like statue of ebony
amidst raging flames. The crowd shouted
loudly and necessarily, and said that such
= resolute suttee was never seen. The
police officer who attended, and who had
seen many suttees, told me he never saw
one where the victim was SO calm and
Intrepid. was within three yards Of
the cone; the poor creature had her face
toward me; shall never forget tho
dreadful sight, it was awful and horrible.
Thanks to the exertions of the English
government, those hideous Indian Gus.
toms are to great extent abolished. Tho
thugs, or phansegars, sacrificing to Boh-
wanie, their Moloch, are wiped out and
their nightmare removed from the breast
Of the DOOR Indian ryot."

CHAPTER TX.
LOVES YOUNG DREAMS.


But things frightened.
Time worked wonders even at dull
Havana.
Work = that splendid tonic for un-
strung nerves-braced our heroine up to
a cheerful endurance of her surround
ings.
Then her children had begun to love
her and their parents to appreciate her;
and, best of all, Alphonse had ceased to
persecute her, though she learned that
he had managed to pick up an acquain-
tance with her friends at Glastonbury.
Then she was eheered by the most
delightful news OF Harry Evesham, who
had won the esteem of Mr.. Hardcastle,
a railroad magnate living in Brooklyn,
who had appointed him his private sec
retary with a salary beyond his widest
expectations.
''What charming man the old gen.
tleman must be- Wanda mused, as she
read Hamy's description of him-''rich,
in the beginning of hale old age, a
bachelor without relations or intimate
friends, he treats me like son and his
magnificent mansion is home to me, :"
Wanda smiled. What a lucky old man
she thought Mr., Hardcastle must think
himself to enjoy the constant compan-
ionship of SO gifted person as Harry
Evesham.
But the climax of her satisfaction was
reached when one winters day the old
veteran with a wooden leg who in a de-
sultory manner presided at the telegraph
Office brought her dispatch from Mrs.
Evesham that Harry was coming home
on visit
Harry coming hemei
I ana afraid TO confess that she took
tAe precious paper and kissed ii.
An! she was glad now that she had
shown no malice toward Damiens-
even little glad that she had con-
- allow him to drive George
Arundel out to Havana to spend the
evening-a suggestion that had been
heartily indorsed by Kate-for, who
l,,gaWsS rerhaps Harry might come
liith them-but no; he would probably
not leave New York until after the tels
egram was sent.
Anyhow, she watched the slow, NOV
ing l1ngers Of the clock in school on that
eventful afternoon.
