SOME ODD CUSTOMS.
Similarity ~ Hawaiian Usaaas to Those

Similarity ~ Hawaiian Usazas to Those
of the Hebrews
The manner of disposing of the dead
in the Hawaiian islands is also in ac-
cord with the Hebrew custom, says
writer in Lippincott's. The body was
embalmed and covered with glutin-
Gus substance or wash, to seal effect
uaIly the pores of the skin and exclude
all air. The body was then deposited
in the side of prectpfce. The prac-
tee of immolating one or more wives
of chief was carried on to consider
able extent in the Hawaiian group in
earlier days. AS manifestation of
love and attachment, the wives of o
chief would voluntarily die, which act
was called moespu, companionship in
sleep. This practice can be traced to
the Vedic Hindoos. the only difference
being that the wife was inundated on
the funeral pyre. Some stress has
been laid on the peculiar institutions
called cities of refuge, or Pun-honua,
which were found to have obtained
prominence among the Hawaiians, and
which have been quoted as another in
stance Of Hebrew il luence upon the
customs and cultgi, Of the islanders.
The cities of refuge however, were
not peculiar to the Hebrews. They
existed in the time of ancient Greece.
We read OF the temple of Ceres at
Hemione, in Argolis, which was sim
liar Institution and tAere were numer-
Gus others, both there and elsewhere,
where the Cnshite influence had mod
fled the customs and nodded the cats
OF the people ON It's own pattern.
Besides the traditions Of the Ha-
waiians, their practice of incarnation
and divination, and many peculiar
tiles of their language, show relation
not only with the Hebrews, but also
with the fire-worshipers of Persia, the
Brahnins and Bnddhists of India and
other branches of the Aryan race.

a most convenient little affair, and no
housewife who has owned one will

great help in keeping in mind the nee

A Boston cooking school originated
the idea of the card. 1t consists of a
light wood frame provided with slips
of wood, upon which are marked the
names of different housekeeping stores,
such as tea, coffee, sugar, soap, starch.
bluing. spices, etc.
Slots are arranged into which the
wooden slips can be moved, showing
up plainly against the light rack

in maintaining well-flled lartler, for
when a particular supply gives out the
