ton. To many pilgrims this occasion
is one of the greatest life can bring
namely, to be permitted not only to
visit the Jordan. but actually to bathe
in its sacred waters. Suddenly chant
ing is heard. and the crowd quickly
opens to let a procession of purple
clad ecclesiastics pass to the water
then the pilgrims close in again, and
station themselves along the banks
eager and watchful. And now, quite
reverently, a jeweled cross is laid by
the patriarch on the surface of tue
stream to bless it, and no sooner does
the sacred symbol touch the water
than a dive is made into it by the
enthusiastic crowd. which splashes and
prays and wallows and dips-alto-
gether a strange scene.
Such is the baptism, and the longer
it lasts the greater the merit the pill
grim will enjoy. All dripping with
water each shroud is now wrung out
and slowed away to serve as the cere-
cloth when the pilgrimage of life is
over, and the body is ready for the
grave. AS the traveller rides away the
next day to Jerusalem, he will see
these childlike peasants, bedraggled
with mud, and fatigued by constant
sleeplessness, plodding along toward
the Holy City, chanting and singing as
they go, and leaning on their sticks
of reed. But there is now a smile
on their faces, and joy in their hearts

The following account of the killing
of the last big buffalo bun appears in
the Macleod Gazette in the form of
letter signed Wyoming Bill':
Early in November, 1887, John Nolan
an1 other half-breeds were near the
forks of the Red Deer and South
Saskatchewan when they came across
a bunch of eleven buffalo, one of the
bunch being a very large bull.
They killed the big bull, two COWS
and a calf and brought them into
Swift Current. j. Grant got the head
Of the bull and Curry Bros, got the
two cows heads and hide and the calf.
No doubt atterward the half-breeds
cleaned out the rest of the bunch, for
they were never heard of again.

A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul, writing of
Hindu family life, remarks that 1t is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
vantageous matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindus therefore find a
means of Kidding themselves of too
many daughters by numbering them.
1t is a well known fact that Hindus, OF
high birth, those who are called
Rajputs, caused their daughters to be
nut to death after their birth by men
specially engaged to do so. This Grim
inal custom had become so universal
that in 1910 in the seventy-three vii
lages of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under IL years
of age, and three years later in the
town of Agra there was not one to be
found under that age. All had been
put to death, says the London Pail
Mall Gazette.
The English government has very
naturally passed very severe laws
against this abcminable crime but to
evade them the Findus allow their
girls to live until the age of II, after
which they do away with them by ad-
ministering poison in small doses.
