A MOhAMMEOAN FUNERAL.
the Ceremonies With Which . Body Il
Consigned to the Grave.

When the life of Mohammedan Is ebb-
Ing away, distinguished reader Of the
Koran is summoned to recite aloud its
chapter on the resurrection, 80 that the
spirit of the person. on hearing 1t, may
have an easy death. The Mohammedan
believes that the vital principles Of the
whole system are concentrated In the head,
when death Is the result. The watchers at
the bedside also read some passages, and
then drink of sherbet Is given to the pa
tient to lessen the pangs of death. AS soon
as tho spark of life has fled the two great
toes are tied together with q thin strip Of
cloth, the mouth is closed, and incense Is
burned near the body.
The interment follows q fcw hours after
death. The washers are men and women
who wash and shroud the body and dig
hole in the earth to hold the water, SO that
1t cannot spread very much, as 1t is con.
sidered unlucky to tread on this water.
The washing Is great ceremony, and
when finished the body is shrouded with
even more ceremony. If there is widow
of the deceased. she returns the dowry
her husband had given her. II the deceas-
eds mother is present. she says, 1.-THE milk
with which suckled thee freely bestow
the deceased to her. When flowers have
been placed on the body, IL is carried to
the grave on bier or, If the relatives can
afford II, in q coffin. At the grave four
creeds are recited, and the body, with the
head 30 the north and the face looking to.
ward Mecca, Is laid on Its back In its tomb.
The gravo Is about feet long for both
sexes, but the depth, for q man, Is measur
ed By the distance between his feet and
chest; for woman, between her feet and
waist. II the body is too long for the
grave, IL is believed that the deceased must
have been q great sinner.
Before the body u covered the Moham.
medsn takes little earth, and, throwing
10 into the grave, says, "Wo created you Of
earth, and we return you to tho earth, and
we shall raise you out Of the earth on the
day of resurrection" Then . mound Is
built 10 keep the earth In tho grave from
crushing the body, and water is sprinklcd
on IL In three lines. Special prayers for
the safe voyage of the deceased are offered
after the burial. As In tho case Of Hin
doc funeral, the poor are not forgotten,
both remembering the needy by distribut
Ing money, salt, rice and wheat among
them after the funeral. New York Times

Salem, Or, April 26.--E, 7. johnson,
who is hunting laborers for contractors
on the Astoria railroad, has submitted
to Superintendent Gilbert, of the peni-
tentiary, a proposition to hire the idle
convicts. There is some question as to
whether or not the authorities have
the right to hire out convicts. The
matter is being investigated. The
working of convicts, Mr.. johnson says,
would in no way interfere with free
labor. He gives positive assurance
that all who will work can get employ
ment, and says that the only reason for
wanting eonvicts is his inability to get
sufficient free labor.

Havana, April 6.-Colonel Lacoste has
defeated party of insurgents at San
tiago de Vegas, this province, killing
seventeen of the enemy and later capt
uring the camp of Juan Delgado at
Santa Barbara. 1t is reported that the

up and the cattle in that province have
fled to the hills in search of grass and
water,
