STRANGE PEOPLE.
A Tribe in India Which Has Some Pc
cuiiar Beliefs.

Scattered over the breezy downs OF
the Nilgherries, in the little villages
of wicker houses that look at a little
distance like nothing in the world SO
much as colony of beehives, lives a
community of six or seven hundred
people, who are variously believed to
be the descendants of one of the lost
tribes of Israel, the aborigines of
southern India and a community of
Manichasens.
They believe in strange trinity and
hell, dismal stream full of leeches
and this they must cross by means of a
single thread. The soul. burdened
with sin, is too heavy for this slender
support and the sinner falls into the
stream, but the thread sustains easily
the souls of the good. The funeral of
a Toda, for that is the name of the sin
gular tribe, is as odd in its way as its
religious belief. His body is wrapped
in new cloth and his toes tied to-
gether with red thread. Grain, sugar.
tobacco and money are wrapped in his
funeral toga to provide him for his
journey across the Styx and the dark
plain beyond.
Two buffaloes are slain beside the
corpse and the dead mans hands are
placed upon their horns. A piece of his
skull, his hair and his finger nails are
removed to be used later on at the |
great celebration of the death of all |
those who during the twelve months
have taken the leap over the precipicc
into the bottomless abyss" When
these tokens are removed clarified but
Ter is smeared on the fragrant wood of
'he funeral pyre and the body is burned
% ashes and the ashes scattered to the
our winds.

PrInnitiye Telecrnpby.

The first person to apply to purposes
of telegraphy the galvanic battery ins
vented by Volta, in 1900, was DR..
/ Samuel t. Won Soemmering, of Mu-
Mich. He employed the energy of a
powerful voltaic pile to decompose
water by means of thirty-five gold pins
immersed in an oblong glass trough.
Each of these pin electrodes was in
connection with thirty-fve wires
forming the telegraph line. The bub-.
bles evolved by these electrodes were
received in figured and lettered tubes
corresponding to each pin and the mes
sages were thus spelled ont. In 1910
he telegraphed over two miles of wire
by this primitive method. AS each
separate pin was immersed it decom-
posed certain portion of water and
sent bubbles through its lettered or
numbered tube.

THE BRIDAL WREATH.
Materials of Which the Emblem Is Gem.
orally Made.

Materials of Which the Emblem Is GEN
orally Made.
No wreath has been SO sung by poets
and rhymesters as that which graces
the head of the bride on her wedding
day, says the New York Advertiser,
and in most countries the myrtle is
closely associated with the bridal
wreath. The latter has become sym
Dol of true womanliness, of purity of
mind and soul, and even Schiller is
among those who have sung its praises.
In the time of the Old Testament the
Jews saw in the myrtle sign of what,
for them, was most beautiful and
precious-the promised land for which
they were always longing. Later on,
among the Greeks, the myrtle and the
rose were considered the favorite flow
ers of Venus, the goddess of love, and
gardens of myrtle were planted in her
honor, with beds of roses, the red rose
and the green myrtle representing the
union of love and virtue. Nowadays
the myrtle has, however, several rivals.
In America, in England, in Franco and
in Poland the orange blossom reigns
supreme; in Italy the white rose has
taken the place of evergreen and
fragrant myrtle wreath. In Spain the |
red rose and in Portugal the carnation |
have supplanted it. In many parts of |
Germany there are several distinct |
customs to be observed The sprirs |
from which the wreath shall be twincd |
must in some places be taken at fixed |
hour of the night between certain holy
days. In some countries or districts
the veil is used without the wreath.
In the province of Dalarne, in Sweden,
the bride wears a white cloth round
her head, and in several countries the
bridal wreath has, in the course of
time, taken the shape of a more or less
headgear orwedding crown.
This is the case in Norway and in
several places in Germany. In Alien
ourg 1T takes the shape of red velvet
zap, round which run thirteen silver
'ings, from which are suspended a
lumber of silver and gold plates and
'oins. veil and profusion of float
ng silk ribbons in gay colors complete
he bridal crown. In Denmark the
nyrtle is universally used for bridal
Vreaths, together with long white
ell Many families possess. myrtle
rees, which have for quite a genera
ion or more furnished the myrtle
vreaths for the brides of the family.

THE DE LAMAR NUGGET.
SATURDAY, DFCEM Der Is. 1898.
Wells of That City Are Among the Prin-
cipal Sources OF Cholera.

Apropos of a dispatch from Tunis
which says that out of body of nine
Thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca
pne-half died of cholera. and that of the
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead and
help the living five hundred persisted,
the New York Herald gives some ac-.
count OF the sacred city ana the
sacred professions. It is estimat-
ed that the pilgrims annually
number from fifty to seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of the
Mohammedan world, tor every Mos
lem is bound under certain conditions
to pay at least one visit to the holv
city. Mecca, as is well-lSnown, lies
in the heart of mass of rough
hills. intersected by narrow valleys.
Its regular population is supposed to
be about fifty thousand, but the city
always contains many more persons,
for before the pilgrims to one festival
have left those to another begin to ar
rive The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept There is a
good supply of pure water, brought |
by an underground conduit, but |
this is furnished freely only to |
townspeople, the pilgrims having
to pay for it. As a result the
latter spatronize the wells which
are supposed to be principal sources of
cholera. One of these is the well OF
Zemzem, which is the hottest place in
the city after the Kaaba, or temple.
According to Mohammedan tradition
this well is the source from which Ha-
ger drew water for her son Ishmael.
1t is now inclosed in massive vauItcd
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pill
grims, poured over the body to give
miraculous refreshment and carried
away in jars. AS though the water
and the city's filth were not sufficient.

slaughter of thousands of animals,
whose carcasses are left for the sun TO
