that Aguinaldo had camped there for

Major Murchs men entered Lagat on

town, on the mountain side, the figures
of 25 Filipinos dressed in white with
their leader on gray horse were
silhouetted against the sunset. The

The officer shot was either Aguinaldo

Weird Ceremonial Custom Prescrih-h
for Royal Obsequies.
Strange and almost weird is the cere-
monial which accompanies the burial
OF Spanish kings. The pantheon, or
royal tomb, is at the palace OF EscuriaI,
situated 5000 feet above the level Of
the sea aud some distance from the
capital. Only kings, queens and moth
ers of kings are buried there, the cctiins
Of the kings lying on one side, and those
OF the queens on the other. After lying
in state for several days in the throne
room in Madrid, says the San Francisco.
Argonaut, an enormous procession is
formed accompanying the body to the
Escurial. 4 halt is made ON the way
and the corpse rests there for one night.
In the morning the lord high chamber
lain stands at the side of the coffin and
says in loud tones: ''Is your majesty
pleased to proceed On your journey
After a short silence the procession
moves on and winds up to the grant
portal of the palace. These doors are
never opened except to admit a royal
parsonage, dead or alive. When the
casket containing the remains is at last
placed in the vault the chamberlain
unlocks it and, kneeling down, calls
with loud voice: "Senor! Senort
Senor" After a solemn pause he cries
again: "His majesty does not reply.

That people can imagine themselves
into sick beds has long been an ac-
cepted fact by men who practice medi-
cine, and the belief that the bread pill
is one OF the most potent remedies IN
the physicians case was never more
general than 1t is to-day. Since the be-
ginning Of the appendicitis fad the
spread of imaginary ills has been much
worse than ever before. Pains in their
sides now are sure to throw about
three out OF every five people into ii
terrible state Of alarm. They used to
disregard these things. hut appendicitis
has wrought a change. and 1t seems
that everybody or nearly everybody
now arises in the morning fully ex-
pecting to be- spread upon the dissect-
ing table before night. A New Or
leans physician, in a recent interview
on this subject. related an experience
that Is worth repeating:
A nervous man recently called on me

what part of the abdomen are the pre-
monitory pains Of appendicitis felt!" "On
the left side. exactly here" replied, in.

ternoon l was summoned In hot haste to

same evening. On. yes; he was no doubt
in real pain when I called. but you can

ments.
At first this medical gentleman would
seem to have rendered service to h,,.
mainly in showing the absurtlity Of the
habit Of jumping ut the conclusion that
every pain In the side Is a sure sign OF
the presence of appendicitis, but when
we stop to consider the matter we fiud
that he has perhaps done more harm
than good. lie has so definitely located
the spot at which the appendicitis pnng
may be expected to make itself felt
that the encouraging doubts which r,eo.
pie with pains In their sides have chung
to in the past must hereafter vanish
from the minds Of many Of those who
happen to feel twinges at the fatal
point. After people generally have
found out just how and where the
trouble with the vermiform appendix
usually begins 1t Is to be feared that
we may expect a new outbreak Of mp
pendicitis which will be worse than any
OF the previous epidemics Of this perni.
cious malady that have swept over our
glorious and enlightened country.
