People Live on Putr.d Fish.

The people who live in the Barotse
country develop the muscles of their
arms, chests and backs to M abnormal
degree, but they seem to he able to use
their strength for nothing but canoeing.
The Barotse are great fishermen, using
all manner of nets. traps and assegais
for catching their fish. They. however.
seem to prefer fish other than fresh.
Sometimes they kipper their catch, and
occasionally they IRE fit for food aud
untainteh, but more often remind III
of Cape snoek." But their great de-
light seems to be fish they find floating
in the water, caught, killed and half
eaten by n fish cnglc. The fish have
been killed probably three or four days,
and are usually putrid when found. In
this condition the Barotse eat them
with evident satisfaction. Tho great
number Of lepers found on the river c,ln
probably be traced to this filthy prac.
tice.

logs were laid on the body, and all was
ready for the widow.

slowly down the bank to play her tragic
part in the ceremony, covered with n
flowing robe of white. A Brahmin
priest stood ut the head of the body
the scene is before me now as If 1t were
but yesterday-and lie directed the pro-
ceedings in the coolest name possible.
Taking the rod presented her by the
Bralmin in her right hand Rance
walked three times round the bier and
waved it over her head. The Brahmin
next handed her n torch, which, though
to all appearance not lighted, contained
n spark of fire within. Very soon the
waving of the torch caught a current
and ignited. l could not see the girls
face all this time, but l could see that
her form shook like an aspen leaf.
1.-The Brahmin now, amid profound
silence. having ordered her to apply the
torch, Rance advanced toward the pile
with tottering steps, and in a moment
the pile was ablaze. Now came
ltamee's time to sacrifice herself, to
perish in the fierce flames that were al
ready stretching out their tongues to-
ward her fiimsy robe.
"SLe hesitated, she trembled. and by
command of the priest two men were
about to throw her on the blazing pyrc,
when the officer commanding the de-
tachment, q young man with a soft
heart, ordered his men to charge. They
obeyed the order with alacrity, and not
81 moment too soon, dispensing the suit

In taking this step the officer really dis.

what we had come for. We saw the
rebels were f%ortifying Benares. AS for
Rance, the colonel's wife took her ur.
der her protection, and after the mutiny
was suppressed she became my wife,"

Mrs. Ramie Lalros, a woman between

I.alros' husband is a Eurasian from la

from her native Benares a copper stat

each other and live happily together
with their three beautiful daughters,
two of whom are of their fathers

a devout worshiper of SILVA and

Mrs. Lalros has a history that Is most
interesting, for she was about to be-
come a victim to the terrible suffice of
her caste when rescued by the man
who afterward became her husband.
AS is the custom in India, Rance
Khud, while still a toddling child. was
ufiianced to the son Of a friend and
neighbor. At the age of II, just on the
eve of the childrcn's marriage, the
youth of IL who was to be the BRIDE
groom died, and, according to the ir-
revocable laws of her caste, she was
doomed to lie burned OH his funeral

Jumna, over from the city Of Bcnares.
AS Lalros had much to do with what
followed, 1t is just as we'll he should tell
the story:
ut a n little before the Sepoy
mutiny of 1861, and 1, the son of Il Eu-
ropean father, was guiding n detach-
ment of the First Bengal cavalry
through the jungles to Benares. While
concealed in the bush waiting for sun
rise we saw the dead youth carried
down to the waters edge OH n bamboo
stretcher. and, judging from the sort
of crowd that had assembled, VIC were
about to witness a suffice. The body
was covered v with a green silk
robe-for he was n high-class Brallmin
and placed on II pile of resinous san
dal-wood logs. Then the cloth was re-
moved, the bier placed on the pyre.

Scotch Simplicity.

The Scotch are fond of telling stories
which Illustrate the peculiar simplicity
of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One of these stories relates that M
honest mason once had Il contract to
build a small house of stone. He came
early, and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast. AT noon
his young o brought him his dinner,
peeping over the wall as lie handed the
basket to his father. With honest pride
in his eye, the mason looked over to the
boy.
"Weel, Jock, hoo dye think I'm get
ting on?' he asked.
We're getting on famous. feytler,"
Answered Jock. looking at the solid
wall. in which there was no break, but
hoo dye get oot:"
The mason looked around. 1t was
true: lie had provided the house with
no door ut all. and he was OH the in.
side. He locked kindly aud very admir-
ingly mt the hoy.
