Burial Customs.

The Turks, perhaps, were the first peopl
to use ornamental burial grounds such d
we call cemeteries, but as to when this cu|
tom was first adopted in the land of III
crescent no one seems to know. The earle
Jews buried their dead in the earth, tha
method beina without doubt the most ad
Gent burial mode known to man. The yer
earliest Egyptians seem to have understoo
the art of embalming and to have practice
it from time ,ut of memory. The ancicl
Greeks and Romans cremated the body, I'll
ashes only receiving sepulcher, except
case of illustrious warriors, statesmen, eu
these latter being buried unburncd as
special mark of favor.
Some ancient tribes preserved only part
of the body and burned or buried the n
mainder. The parts retained and preserve
dried or in liquid, varied according to trib
notions. With some it was the heart til;
was thought to be too sacred for crematic
or burial, with others the liver, ears, nos
tongue or fingers. The Tartars OF 90
years ago preserved only the thumb al
toe nails of their dead.-St. Louis Rcpublj

The beautifully wonderful changeable-

was again fully evidenced, Wednesday. The
day opened warm, a little cloudy, with a
sort of chinook blowing and the snow
melting rapidly under lit influence.
A aI,g in the afternoon the wind became
colder, snow began to fall, and at night a
blizzard OF no small degree of cold was
blowing. North Dakota weather Is GER
talnly subject to startling and sudden
change.
The Northwestern Farmer, in discuss
ing the sheep raising industry in North
Dakota says: sample experience with
cattle. sheep and horses, has proven that
climate and natural pasturage combine in
North Dakota to give the best results in
SUNK raising. Inc success OF the Older
wheat farms has given to North Dakota
its reputation as such. In recent years,
however, stock raising has become an i'm.
portant and constantly growing industry
At the rate at which the sheep industry Is
now extending in the state 1t is apparen,
that in a few years North Dakota will
take rank among the great wOol-growinl

RARE FUN ON A CAMEl'S BACK
The Cairo Street Comedian Furnishes

The Strange Sensations Experienced

Did you ever ride a camele

Did you ever ride a camel?
His getting up il like nothing else under
the sun, says the Chicago Record When
he lies down the man on his padded back
feels as though he were on the roof of a
collapsing house. as though the structure
was totterfng and going to pieces. 1t is the
wonder OF a day how a camel, after folding
himself together and dropping on q mat
can unite his lank and timber parts and get
to his feet once more.
The camel is the comedian OF Cairo street
In Midway Plaisance. He keeps the sunny
street In bubble OF excitement and laugh
ter. The best part OF it is that, like the
true comedian, he never enters into the
fun. He seldom opens his eyes. and he
never ceases that long. awkward swing of
his lever jaw. While he is tipping people
into all sorts OF frantic attitudes. causing
women to shrek. and sending an idle crowd
into roars of laughter. he always maintains
that slow and homeiy dignity which is nat
ural and not acquired.

but the highest-priced camel is moth-eaten,
