THIBETAN RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES.
After long account of the preIiminaries, Mr.
knight proceeds:

abbots and acolytes of the Church of Rome.

him with intoning and pleasing chanting. He
was followed by six other masks, who were
treated with similar respect These seven del

received the alteration of several professions OF

Throughout the day, even during the above
solemn act of worship, certain laInas masked
as comic devils performed all manner of buff

laughter each time that one played some
monkey trick another

them with their outstretched hands like blind

wildly whistling shapes occurred at frequent in

one phase of this curious mummery to another
was always startlingy abrupt. One never knew
when some peaceful anthem and stately dance

by the cashing discord of cymbals and trumpets
and the whrling torrent of shrieking fiends.

This idea OF the general look of the country

OBITUARY.

ODl AKY.
On Saturday, March "a. at 2:4c p. m.
the sweet spirit of little Florence Nc
Pherson severed the bonds Which held
it within it's earthly habitation, and
winged it's way to the bright and beauti.
full home beyond the pale river of death.
She was taken i'll the Monday before
with measles, followed by pneumonia,
and tho the battle for her life was waged
most sternly, the forces of grim death
were m%arshalled too strongly to be mas.
tered by human skill, and the frail
human shell gently yielded to the Mas
ter's will.
Florence was born at Devils Lake, N.
D. on Sept. 10th, 1894, and was the
eldest child of Mr.. and Mrs. s. McPher-
son. Her parents shortly after removed
to Hope where the greater part of her
little life was spent. She was an unus.
ually sweet and winsome child, and her
gentle life filled with sunshine the hearts
of those who knew her but to love her.
She will be sadly missed among her
playmates, more sadly still by her grief
stricken parents, whose pride and joy
she was. To them the sympathy of the
entire community is extended during
this great affection, and tender hands
and loving hearts have done all that
could be done to Tighten the burden
which rests so heavily upon their souls.
But time alone will serve to efface the
bitterness of grief. and reconcile them
to the fact that little Florence merely
has begun earlier a journey that all
must take eventually. r
1t is hard indeed to take to heart the
lesson that such deaths will teach, but
let none reject it, for it is one that all
must learn. and is a mighty, universal
truth. When death strikes down the
innocent and young, for every fragile
form from which he sets the parting
spirit free, a hundred virtues rise in
shapes of Mercy, Charity and Love, to
walk the world and to bless it. OF every
tear that Borrowing mortals shed onsuch
fresh graves, some good is born, some
gentle nature comes. In the Destroyer's
steps there spring up bright creations
that defy his power. and his dark path
becomes a way of light to Heaven. r.
The funeral was held Monday at 8 p.
NJ. from the house. Reverend Killen

A Quaint London Custom.

1t is curious how few persons have
noticed the ancient and quaint custom
which is observed every evening dur
ing term in the walks of the Middle
Temple of sounding the call that warns
members of the inn that it is time TO
dress for dinner in the hall at SIX. The
custom is as old as the Middle Temple
itself, where it alone exists.
At about five-thirty p. IN. the warder
on duty energies from a side door of
the hall with an old-fashloned COW
horn, richly ornamented with silver.
and, commencing In Fountain court,
blows a sustained blast on it, which he
repeats In New court, Essex court,
Brick court, Pump court, Elm court
and at the entrance to Crown Office
row. The whole operation lasts about
ten minutes, and when it is over the
warder, who is kind of bendle in
plain livery, returns the horn to the
buffers pantry.
Nobody seems to take any notice of
the horn blowing except small bows
and ticket porters, who occasionally
chaff the warder while he is enga ced

pounds, the amount Of poultry used dur

in its amount is the item of fish. A fish
weighing $50 pounds would be almost as
large as the fish that always gets away.
The meat total would supply a small
sized butcher shop for considerable
length of time, and the $40 quarts OF
milk would require a jar several times
larger than the ordinary sized milk man.

now giving public exhibitions Of his
vast strength. The climax of his "act"
is to carry three cannon-one on the
back of his neck and one from each of
his shoulders-the combined weight
being 800 pounds. Ability to carry such
a tremendous burden puts the Greek in
the front rank of muscular wonders,
but he goes even further by having
charge of powder exploded in each Of
the guns while they rest and hang In
the positions indicated.
The charges Of powder used are not
heavy-being, in fact, only one pound
apiece. The effect of the discharge Is
merely spectacular, as the explosion OF
a single pound of powder transmits no
particular shock, being taken up by the
weight of the gun itself, ON the prin-
ciple familiar to schoolboys that if
man can carry an anvil on his chest it
adds nothing to the pressure to have
some person strike the anvil, no matter
how hard, with sledge hammer.
