HOW THE oRIENTALs CREMATE.
Open Fires in Which the Body Rises to
a Sitting Posture.
From the Boston Transcript.

FROM the Boston transcript.
In travelling through India large bonfires
are frequently to be seen in secluded spots
on the outskirts of cities, surrounded by
apparently merry making circles of ma
tives. One afternoon, while wandering
through the suburbs of Bombay to escape
for awhile the hustle and confusion of
this magnificent city of temples and pal
aces, l discovered through the trees in the
distance the familiar bonfire. Being an
American, with the bump of curiosity
strongly developed, an irresistible desire
to approach this particular spot predomi-
mated. The scene contrasted strangely
with what was anticipated. y group of
men sat piously guarding the sacred fire,
for it proved to be that the last rites were
being enacted to a kinsman.
Among this particular caste the last
tribute to the dead is one striking in its
solemn originality When life becomes
extinct the body of the deceased, strongly
impregnated with the odor of sweet
spices, is swathed in the finest linen and
permitted to remain a few hours in the
midst of the bereaVed friends, whose la
mentations and strange Wailings, as if
from another world, are, to say the least,
appealing. In token of their intense grief
each member of the family submits i'm
mediately to the operation of having the
hair cut off the heaN Should it be
widow who is left to mourn, as her sor-
row is stu greater, her head is completely
shaver. These daughters of the east over
flow with pride for their beautiful tresses:
hence 1t is that ii is sacrificed at the altar
| of the dead.
Meanwhile the remains, with much
ceremony, are borne forth on wagon
with an arch of rush mating of cousid-
cradle hight concealing it from the vulgar
gaze. 1t is usually drawn by bullocks and
/ accompanied by immediate friends only

a MAN WITH AN IRON STOMACH.
A Diet Of Lamp Chimneys, Sawdust
Soup, Coal, Soap and Candles.

From the New York Sun
Leipzig has sensation just now in
the person OF Strazini, who has kept the
medical profession in state of excite
ment ever since he made his appearance
there. Strazini astonishes his audiences
by first eating a soup which consists of
sawdust, plentifully mixed with coal oil.
The mess is set afre, and, after the flames
have been eXtinguished Strazini eats the
peculiar mixture with a spoon, writes a
Leipzig correspondent.
He follows this up with biting piece after
piece from the lamp chimney. crushing the
glass between his teeth and swallowing it.
He washes it down with a little water.
For dessert he munChes pieces of hard
COAL peat, washing soap tallow candles,
pieces OF plaster cast and bricks, boots
clay pipes, and seems TO enjoy the con-
glomeration. All this is eaten at one meal
and in quick succession. A little water is
the only beverage in which he INDUCES
during that meal. Strazini asserts that he
does not feel the slightest discomfort from
this unusual diet, and he certainly looks
it, When he has finished his dinner of
ceramics, he pours down two cups of
coal oil, throws his head back and holds
a lighted match to his mouth There is
a deep putting sound, and a flame three
feet long leaps from his mouth.
After eating, Strazin gives an exhibition
of dancing, as wonderful as what has gone
before. He does it with bare feet in a box
filled with debris and shreds of champagne
bottles, lamp shades, wine glasses, etc
Into this he dives with his feet. jumps
about in all directions, and ends by bury
ing his head in the broken glass The
strange part of it is that he comes out
without scratch. His cuticle seems to
be as impervious 10 such an onslaught as
his stomach is to sawdust and brick and
burning coal oil. Medical men from far
and near have interviewed the curious
phenomenon, but are unable to give an ex-
PLANTATION of his wonderful performances.

CHOLERA AMONG HOGS.
Heavy Losses Sustained by Farmers
and Stockmen in Illinois.

Champaign, ILL.,. oct. 29.-During the
summer and fall large droves of hogs
were shipped into this section of Illinois
and sold to the farmers and stockraisers.
The scheme of feeding cheap grain to
hogs promised big returns until cholera
appeared, and during the last week or
two thousands of heads have died. The
disease has, however, not been confined
to the imported swine. but has been com
municated to stock hogs throughout the
country, and farmers and stoCkmen are
experiencing heavy losses. Many farmers
think the disease is not the old-fashioned
hog cholera, but some other disease, which
no one appears to know anything about.
