tomb in the Matoppo hills. The coffin
was shrouded in a union jack and the
wreath sent by Queen Alexandra was
laid upon it as it was lowered into the
grave.
The funeral party started from Full
lers hotel early in the morning The
procession was five miles long as It
wound through the hills and gorges.
Every sort of conveyance was made use
of. Some were on foot. others were on
horseback or on bicycles, while still 9TH
ers were in wagons and carriages
When the procession was mile from
the grave every. person dismounted and
concluded the journey on foot. Twelve
oxen hauled the coffin to the almost in
accessible summit Of the koDje, where
the chiefs Shembli Faku and Umugula
and 1000 natives had assembled to wit

they afterWard supplemented in their
own fashion by the sacrifice of Is oxen

most extraordinary. The whole popu-

closed down the camp fires sparkled
in all directions. The people in every
sort of vehicle and on foot arrived at
the camp throughout the entire night.
Some natives tramped 100 miles in order
to be present at the service. The men
wore big SLOUGH hats and shirts with

Arfstscracy OF the Sun.

There Is an aristocracy Of the sun.
NJ. Lugeon, a professor in the Univer
sity Of Lausanne, has been making an
investigation IN the great valleys Of
Switzerland and finds that the edge Of
the daylong shadow that winds amid
the high mountains Is a most remarka-
BILE boundary. 1t Is not only bounda-
~ between sunlit slopes and hills in
the shadow. but It Is a line that divides
aristocrats in intelligence and prosper
ity from plebeians of ignorance and
proverty.
Professor Lagoon has made a special
study Of the great valleys Of the can
ton between Martgny and the Rhone
glacier and finds that where both sides
are equally steep preference is given to
the sunny side as place of residence,
there being three persons there to one
on the side in the shadow. This is not
remarkable, but It is remarkable that
the dwellers IN the sunlight are far go
perior to those who live in the shadow
In intelligence, education and general
prosperity.
Sunlight has developed ambition and
energy, and its effect Is seen in the
homes, fields, dress and conversation OF
these people Of the sun, who look with
contempt on the people Of the shada
across the valley.

Executed by Proxy,

In China 1t Is nothing out Of the way
for n criminal under sentence OF death

The particulars TO hand show that
when n certain childless criminal there
was adjudged to death his family met
to see what should be done. The super
stition of tlf land ran counter TO a
man dying without leaving a son at
least to worship him after death. The
criminal had a brother who had SO
many sons that he had no fear OF be-
Ing left without worshipers The fam
lily decided TO put him In as substitute
for the childless one. so that the latter
could live on to get a son. The military
mandarin concerned was bought over.
the criminal was set free and his
guiltless brothers head was cut of.
The family. the mandarin and the pub
lie we're satisfied. Bot the mandarin
superiors did not see Il In that light
and informed the project at the city,
He ordered the mandarin to be
scourged IKE a common cody.
