QUEER pEATHBRp REQUEST.
A Prominent Japanese of No hc-
ligious belief Leaves Direc-
tions for burial.

Lieut.. Yoshibumi Funigawa, of the l.
j. N, left behind a curious request to
his family a few days prior to his death,
which occurred the other day in his ma
tive district of Hizen. He observed TO
his family that as be had never had time
to investigate religious questions deep
ly enough to enable him to determine
which faith he should embrace he was
neither prejudiced against nor partial
toward any form Of religion. However,
he himself was Of opinion that his soul
would perish with the cessation of life,
while his remains would crumble to
dust. Therefore he did not wish to
have any religious services performed
on his behalf, says the Japan Times.
The funeral also should be as simple
as could be and flowers and similar
offerings be strictly declined. No an
nouncement should be made of his
death to friends of his until four or five
days after the funeral. Two or three
weeks after his death his relatives and
friends should be invited to a banquet,
and they should be asked to enjoy the
occasion as heartily ms possible. A
priest might be invited, if the presence
of such q parsonage were deemed de-
sirable. At the funeral also nobody
should accompany the bier, except, il
considered necessary, one or two repre-
sentatiyes on behalf Of the family and
relatives might follow the remains tc
the grave. The tomb was to be Of The
simplest description, only his name tC
be inscribed upon it. A memorial tab
let was entirely tabooed.

FRESHMEN IN TINE UNIVERSITIES

The new scholars were called in
scholastic Latin "'neovisti" (novices),
"vulpeculae." Cfoxes), "vituli" (calves),
"blind," innocent and incomplete. -

who were the absolute (absolute)

''dominastri' (bosses), or i'm German
''Rappschnabel' (gay birds), and
bacchantes. These elder students
watched solicitously over the initiation
OF the freshmen into academic life. The
latter were forced to submit to the
tricks and abuse OF their seniors. OF
ten they were subjected to the grayest
indignity and to the most menial ser
vices. Soon after entering the univer-
sity the freshmen underwent the cere-
mony OF deposition or unbocbyizing
CEnttolpung) This was probably de-
rived from some judicial proceeding
by which a person before the court was
released from certain legal obligations
The ceremony was called the laying on
OF the horns ("cornua deponere'); the
novice was called the horned ("cornu.
tus''). Similar ceremonies attended thS
initiation Of tradesmen into guilds
In Holland the freshman was called Z
''greeney" and the ceremony the "un
greening." 1t was designed to repre-
sent divesting the freshman of hi
rudeness and dehlement, and dedicatinl
him to an intelligent life. He wa
dressed in an ox-hide, with the horn
grayely surmounting his head. He wa
sprinlzled with earth to indicate hi
primal rudeness. In this condition h
passed a mock examination, and wa
finally relieved OF his hide and horns

on the lower Ohio, reports the Louis

Of birds attacking and killing an animal
that one would imagine could whip
three or four fierce ours. While hunt

Green river several years ago saw a
large and fierce skunk beat an ignomin-
ious retreat after trying in vain to bess
several English sparrows, and later.
when the skunk had screwed his cour-
age up to the sticking point again, |
saw these same insignifcant-looking
little birds tear the animal to shreds.
When my attention was first attracted
the sparrows were flying from one side
OF the thichet to the other, twitterlng
like mad. When went to learn the
cause. tho skunk. badly frightened, was
lodging from one side TO the other Of
a log. trying to escape the savage at
taciSs of the feathered tribe. The birds
didn't mind me, but kept dashing their
little bills into the skunk's well-pune-
tured hide. When the skunk started
across an open space to the cover Of
nearby driftwood his tormentors
pounced upon him and riddled the poor
