of them women wrapped in red garments
and man wrapped in white. Our boat
fastened, we waited and watched. High
piles of wood were on the bank, and this
wood is carefully weighed on large scales,
according as the friends of the deceased
can afford to pay for 1t. In many cases
only few sticks can be afforded, and the
dead body is burned only little and then
thrown into the Ganges. But where the
relatives Of the deceased are well to do an
abundance of wood in pieces or feet
long is purchased. Two or three layers OF
sticks are then put on the ground to re-
ceive the dead form. Small pieces of san
dalwood are inserted to produce fragrance.
The deceased is lifted from the resting
place and put upon this wood. Thon the
cover is removed from the face of the corpse,
and 1t is bathed with the water of the
Ganges. Then several more layers of wood
are put upon the body, and other sticks
are placed on both sides of it, but the head
and feet are left exposed. Then a quantity
of grease sufficient to make everything
inflammable is put on the wood and into
the mouth of the dead. Then one of the

rionest men IN Benares, his fortune made
in this way, furnishes the fire, and after
the priest has mumbled few words the
eldest son walks three times around the
sacred pile and then applies the torch, and
the fire blazes up, and in short time the
body has become the ashes which the rela-
tives throw into the Ganges."
But the temptation to further expatiate
upon the varied delights afforded the reader
of this wonderful and valuable book must
be foregone. Beguiled by the beauties Of
the ever lifting horizon Of this unparal
leled panorama Of the world, have ex-
tended this review far beyond my inten
tions, and still the inclination is strong
upon me to say more in praise Of it. At
any rate, there is one thing of which am
assured-whoever reads a part of it will
read it all and will then see how very few
of its many virtues have been able to set
forth. WALTER J. DAVIS.

An "Adam Tree" In the Sky.

In parts of Germany, when the evening
clouds mount high and become narrow and
many branched, SO as to bear some resem-
blance to a gigantic tree, the peasants
speak of the phenomenon as being al
"Adam tree" or an abraham tree. :"
How or where the curious superstitions
about these aeccy aerial trees originated
no one knows, but the stories which are
told regarding them are many and varied
in character. The "bloody Adam tree"
is supposed to appear before any great ma
tional disaster, just as the "white lady"
makes her appearance prior to death in
the royal family Before the great famine
of 1173 the "Adam tree" appeared sin ali.

THE EARTH GIRDLED.
REV. DR.. TALMAoE's LATEST BOOK
OF TRAVEL.

His Vivid Record of Unique Journey.
How an Eminent Word Painter Has De-
picted Some of the Earth's Rarest Mar
vels-An Interesting Work.
Rev. DR.. Talmage would have made
sapital newspaper correspondent. Nobody
has keener perceptions as to what interests
tho public, and his ability to depict 1t in
picturesque English cannot bo surpassed.
The advance sheets of his latest and
greatest literary production havo been,
through the courtesy Of Mr.. II. S. Smith,
president of the Historical Publishing
company of Philadelphia, furnished TO the
writer. The book bears a title that is in
itself characteristic of DR.. Talmage, so
great Is 1t, SO comprehensive and yet so
simple-"The Earth Girdled." AS is sug-
gested by the name, 1t is a record of trip
around the world-a wonderful journey
filled with all sorts of scenes and incidents,
bizarre, beautiful, pathetic and instruc-
tive, as we'll as intensely interesting, and
sketched by the master hand of word
artist so deft and exact that the readers
seEscs are all kept alert-and the perusal Is
more IN experience than mere mental
act.
After thoroughly digesting the 504pages
of magnificent material ono cannot avoid
the conclusion that it is one of the most
interesting and valuable books of travel
that ever came from tho press.
The volume is richly garnished with H.
Illustrations, of which there are more than
400. Among them are number of photo
graphs in colors, produced by new proc
ess. These are highly artistic and beauti-
full and form special feature Of this ut
tractive volume. Tho letterpress is ex-
tremely handsome and clear, and the bind
ing will be of sorts to suit purchasers;
benco, you see, 1t is not hard to sum up
and say that the book Is in all respects
charming
Anything like detailed comment upon
the various subdivisions Of the work is, of
course beyond the purpose and the scope
of this notice. To summarize, it may be
said that DR.. Talmage's travels embraced,
first, large portion of our own country,
traversed in his passage from Brooklyn
through the southern states and territories
to San Francisco. From the Golden Gate
he sailed for Hawaii, Samoa and the Sand
witch Islands generally, after which he Wis
tied in turn New Zealand, Australia, Cey-
Ion, India, Egypt, portions of Ethiopia,
Syria, Palestine, Greece Italy, Europe,
Russia the British isles, etc., constituting
the most wonderful and stupendous jour-
ney ever undertaken and accomplished in
any age Of the world.
The object of the famous preacher in
making this remarkable circuit of the
earth was to study the various religions
and superstitlons of the different nations
and races of mankind, compare their re
suits with Christianity and leave perma-
nen: record for the enlightenment of fu"
tpre generations. This was his aim. He
has accomplished it and much more be-

SAMOAN GIRLS MAKING KAVA.
Stepping into the building where the high
priest was instructing the class, we took
on an apologetic air and told him we were
Americans and would like to see his mode
of teaching If he had no objections. Where
upon he began, doubled up as he was on
a lounge, with his right hand playing
with his toes In his left hand he held a
package of bamboo leaves on which were
written the words Of the lesson, each stu
dent holding similar package Of bamboo
leaves. The high priest first read, and
then one of his students read. A group of
as finely formed young men as ever saw
surrounded the venerable instructor. The
last word of each sentence was intoned.
Not able TO understand what was said,
there Is a look of language and intonation
that Is the same among all races. That
the Buddhists have full faith In their re-
ligion no one can doubt-that Is, in their
opinion, the way to heaven. What Mo-
BANNED Is TO the Mokammedan and what
Christ is to the Christian, Buddha Is to
the Buddhist"
cannot pass from this portion Of the
work without quoting a characteristic,
ejaoulatory outburst concerning the beau
tiful trees that embower this locality SO
densely:
"Oh, the trees Of Ceylonl May you live
to behold the morning climbing down
through their branches, or the evening
tipping their leaves with amber and gold!
forgive the Buddhists for the worship of
trees until they know Of the God who
made the trees"
In India the author found rich material
The horrors and grim grandeur of pagan
superstition struck him moro forcibly than
anything else. The ghastly burial rites of
this peculiar people riveted his attention
in most unpleasant way, held him by a
spell of horror. His account of a Hindoo
funeral, oouohed In crisp, Photographic
English, is very gem of simplicity and
strength. Here Is a mart Of it,:
