Curious Criminal Law Provision in
Burmah.

Curious Criminal Law Provision in
Burmah.
An Engiishman who has penetrated
into the almost unknown mountain re-
gion which divides Burmah from the
frontier states of the Chinese empiSe
has brought back some curious details
about the Shans, as the people who live
in hat country are called.
The Shans punish homicide with
death, but the singular feature about
the execution is that before it takes
| place the condemned is taken through
the bazaar of the town where lac is to
die, and at every liquor shop is given
n drink of what he chooses. The result
is that most murderers reach the Ike
cution Tree" i'll II state of hilarious or
maudlin i~ntoxication. When brought
to the death place the name and crime
of the criminal are read out, and the
slip of bamboo on which they are writ
ten is tossed over his head. The Grim
inal then kneels down, his arms are tied
behind his back, and his head is struck
off, Chinese fashion.
There is a curious mixture of Jewish
and Teutonic in h criminal law, how
ever; for the relatives of the muir
dered man or woman have the privilege
of taking 300 rupees indemnity and let
ting the slayer go, or they may demand
life for life.
In marriage, too, the custom is most
curious. The bridegroom's procession
advances to the brides house, its way is
blocked by ropes at various points, and
the e~Xpectant husband has to pay toll.
When he reaches the brides house the
rosr ant rtan fADafha~ on1 fhair hon6o
IRE tied together with a string.
The funeral ceremonies are also diff
ferent from those which are known to
exist. A piece of money is placed in
the dead mans mouth, and the body is
carried out in a coffin, gayly decorated
with tinsel and colored paper, accom-
panied by the chief mourners, who
dance as they go to the grave. Tho
eldest son walks ahead, carrying a
naked sword to clear the way through
the opposing spirits.
When the grave is reached the wives
and children of the dead man and his
brother walk three times around the
coffin, carrying a couple Of lighted
candles, h priests say their prayers,
and the body Is buried. Before the
party goes home an aged man ties each
persons wrist round with a piece of
string to prevent his butterfly escaping,
for the Shans believe that each mans
spirit takes the form of a butterfly,
which leaves him when he is asleep or
unconscious. The string is worn until
it falls Off of itself. In like manner
when a traveller m back from a
journey, his wrists are bound with a
string to prevent his butterfly again
wandering off on its own account.-N.

while quiet on the Sabbath as

wages while quiet on the Sabbath as
they are the Woodworking week day.
No, l say how unutterably mean it is,
when God is adding to your worldly
estate on the Sabbath as certainly us
on other days, hat any should not
be satisfied with that. but attempt
to seize additional secular advantage
from the Lords day. Have you
never noticed the curious fact hat our
worldly occupation frequently seems
to be divided into sections of six DAYS
each? Every week we have just enough
work given us to do in six days. God
makes just enough rcaks in our con-
tinuouS occupation to thrus in the
Sabbath. If you have not before no
ticed, observe hereafter hat when Sat
urday night comes there is almost al
ways a good s~tOppingplace in your
business. All things secular and spir-
itual in providence and revelation seem
to say: Remember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy"
He who breaks the Sabbath not
more certainly robs God than O b him
self. Inevitably, continuous d~esccra-
ton of the sacred day ends either in
bankruptcy or destroyed health. A
merchant said, "Nad it not been for
the Sabbath | have no doubt j should
have been a maniac long ago" This
remark vas made in a company of mer-
chants, and one of them said, THAT
corresponds with the experience of my
friend, II great importer. lie often
said, The Sabbath is the best day of
the week to plan successful voyages
He has for years been in an insane hos
pital, and will probably die there"
Those also repeat the sin of Nebu-
chadnezzar, who in any way desecrate
the Holy Scriptures. There are men
who use the word of God as an instru-
ment of angry controversy. Bigots of
heart and z~ealots, in II advocacy of
their religious ~peculiarities they meet
other sects with the fury of n highway
man, thrustlng them through and
through with what they consider the
sword of the spirit. 1t is a wonder to
me hat some men We're not made with
horns to hook with, and hoofs to kick
with, n with claws to grab with.
What Christ said to rash Peter when
he struck off the ear of Malchus, He
says to every controversialist: Put
up again thy sword into it's place; for
all they that AXE the sword shall per-
ish with the sword"
What an embarrassing thing to meet
in Heaven if we have not settled our
controversies on earth. So I give out
for all people of all religions to sing
John Fawcett's hymn, in short meter,
composed in 1872, but just as appro-
pirate in 1897:
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love.
The fellow ship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
From sorrow. toll and pain.
And sin we shall be free,
And perfect love and friend ship reign
Through all eternity.

Germany's Naval Affairs.

BERLIN, March 8.-Prince Hohen-
lobe, imperial chancellor: addressed the
budget committee of the Reichstag to-
day upon the governments demands for
an extra credit for increasing the navy.
He said: Germany certainly requir-
ed an increase of her fleet, but the time
in which such navy could be created
depended upon the financial position Of
the admiralty and the will of the Re
ischtag." The statement made by the
chancellor was received with manifes-
tation of approval and the threatened
crisis over naval credits has clearly
been avoided.
