Strange Burial Rites OF Natives In tn,

Strange Burial Rites Of Natives In tho
Land OF tho Bread Fruit.
During wars the unburled dead caused
q great deal Of anxiety and distress to
their relatives, who imagined they
could hear the spirits of the warriors
constantly crying to them: "Cold!
Cold! Oh, am so cold" AS 1t was i'm
possible to bury the real body, they
imagined the spirits assumed material
shape, or could be obtained In some
tangible form, and funeral ceremonies
held over them. About dusk, says Out.
Ing, the friends and relatives as
scmblcd where the warrior was sup.
posed to have fallcn. Spreading u
cloth on the ground, one would pray to
some family god, asking to obtain
quickly and without trouble the spirit
Of the fallen ono. Whatever happened
to alight or crawl on the cloth wus
considered to be the spirit. If nothing
appeared some other member Of the
family would pray, giving place In
turn to some one else. This wns con.
tinued until something would alight
on tho cloth. Whatever 1t proved to
be-ant, moth or wprm-was carefully
wrapped up in the cloth, taken home,
and buried with all tho honors and
ceremony due tho real body Of tho

STRENGTH OF INSECTS.
They Are Stronger According to Their
Size Than Nan IL,

Size Than Man 1s.
Insects are, for their size, says the
New York Weekly, the strongest mem
bcrs OF the animal creation, and among
them beetles bear the palm. Many
beetles have enormous strength. The
hercules beetle can support and even
lift a weight equal to moro than five
hundred times the weight of its own
body. 1t is as If man were able to
raise from the ground on his back
weight Of more than one hundred and
twenty tons. Perhaps q better idea
would be conveyed by saying that to
equal this man would have to lift
five hundred other men. Tho flea is
also possessed Of marvellous strength
and agility. ltcan leap more thnn two
hundred times its own height, and
drag along more than eighty times its
own weight. This is as though man
could, from n standing position, leap
over the Eiffcl tower or walk along,
bearing on his shoulder, as an ordinary
burden, the carcass Of an elephant. M.
Plateau found that coclschafer can
draw fourteen times It's own weight,
and that a bee can draw twenty times
its own weight. From which he
argues that cpckchafer is, weight
for weight, twenty times stronger
than horse, and bee thirty times
stronger than one. At the same time,
insects which expend much power In
rapid flight are not capable Of bearing
much additional weight to that Of
their own bodies. Some can carry q
weight equal to their own, but, us
rule, not one can fly with anything
heavier than itself.

In DiGcrtnt Countries.
In Holland a lady Is expected to re-
tire prccipitately if she should enter u
store or restaurant where men are con-
grcgnted. She waits until they have
transacted their business and departed.
Ladies seldom rise In spain to receive
n male visitor, and they rarely accom-
pany him to the door. For Spnniard
to give lady-evcn his wifc-his arm
while out walking is looked upon as q
violation of propricty.
No Turk will ever enter u sitting
room with dirty shoes. The upper
classes wear t!ght-iitting shors with
goloshcs over them. The latter, which
receive nll the dirt and dust, are left
outside the door. The Turk never
washes In dirty water. Water is
poured over his hands, so that when
polluted it runs away.
In Syria the people never take off
their hats or turbans when entering
the house or visiting friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapcrs outside,
and the floors inside nro covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean In
Moslem houses and used to knccl upon
