messages To- the Dead.

A beautiful custom Of the people OF
Siam is one by which they do honor
TO their dead. At full moon in Octo-
ber, and again In November, three
evenings are devoted to setting
lighted candles atioat on the border
OF the sea, in the belief that they will
be borne away TO those who have
passed out Of this life.
The humblest style, says the Satur-
day Review, in which the ceremony
can be performed is yet pretty enough.
The broad, strong leaf OF a plantain
is bent or folded into the shape OF a
boat or raft In the middle Of this
simple structure tiny taper Is fixed
upright The "katong," or raft, OF
which this is the simplest form, Is
then kept ready In the house until
the auspicious moment-predicted by
the family priest-has arrived.
Then at this moment when the
water is silvered over by the beams
OF the broad, rising moon, the taper
is lighted and the tiny raft is launched
upon the waves.
Very slowly at first it makes its way
along the edge of the ebbing tide;
then, waited gently by the still eve

drifts further and further away, un'

bearing silent messages To departed
friends who have already gone TO the

see him stop short in front OF the po-
lice station, fourth OF mile up
the road, paw the ground until great
clouds OF dust arose and neigh loudly.
Two or three bluecoats lounged
around in front, but paid no atten-
tion TO his horseship. But he kept
up his noise until one OF the coppers
took it into his head 10 see what was
up. His surprise can well be imag-
ined when he saw the dirty, snoring
occupant OF the wagon.

The moment he was out Of the wagon

head started for home.

With a great deal ofiear she raised

The instant the whip struck him he

A Clever Pagan Trick.

The Matching Of Ash by hens Is one
OF the industries OF China, (says the
Scientific American). The spawn
of the fish is placed inside OF an egg
shell from which the contents have
been blown. After the spawn has
been forced into the empty shell-a
most delicate operation-the eggs are
placed under the hen, At the proper
time the shells are broken in warmed
water, in which the fish hatch M
once; they are kept in water perfectly
pure until large enough TO put in the
ponds with larger fish, The selling
OF the spawn is one OF the CONNER
cial enterprises of the Chinese.

Many in One.

A comical story is told Of young
man who was shown photograph
OF a young lady which seemed TO inn
press him very much. The impress
sion of the countenance in the por-
trait denoted a strong will, yet a
gentle disposition. 1t was the face
of young lady whom one would like
TO know
"Who is the original OF this por-
trait?" the young man inquired.
THE graduating class Of Smith
College, Northampton" was the re-
ply.
1t was composite photograph,
and the admiring young man awoke
regretfully to the fact that there
was in reality no such lady as
the one whose face had so strongly
impressed him--or, rather, that there
were forty-nine OF her.
A young lady who, on seeing a COM
posite photograph OF small circle OF
friends OF which she was member,
exclaimed: 1T is so charming TO en-
JOY the portrait OF somebody whosi is
