pie to Ilse ornamental burial grounds
such as we call cemeteries, but as to
when this custom was first adopted in
the land of the crescent no one seems
to know. The earlier Jews buried their
dead in the earth, that method being
without doubt the most ancient burial
mode known TO man. The very earliest
Egyptians seem to have understood the
art of embalminS and TO have practiced
1t from time out OF memory. The an
cient Greeks and Romans crrmated the
body, the ashes only receiving sepul-
ture, except in case of illuStrious war;
riors, statesmen. etc, these latter being
buried unburncd as Il special mark OF
favor
Some ancient tribes preserved only
parts of the body and burned or buried
the remainder. The parts retained and
preserved, dried or in liquid. varied ac-
cording to tribal notions. With some
it was the heart that was thought to
be too sacred for cremation or burial,
with others the liver. ears, nose. tongue
or fingers. The Tartars of 1000 years
ago preserved only the thumb and toe
nails of their dead.

Thorough Inquiry Needed.

From the New York Tribune.
Dobin, the miserable worker at small
jobs in the local political field, has made
two statements under oath before the naval
committee of the House of Representa-
tives which in the main fatty contradict
one another. According to the first OF
these statements Mr.. Quigg attempted
through him to bride Congressman Lessler
to support an appropriation for Holland
submarine boats. According to the second
statement MT. Quigg made no such attempt
1t is therefore of vital interest to Mr.. Quige
that the second statement, or that part OF II
relating to himself, should be accepted as
the truth. But according also to the Sec
ond statement Congressman Lessler was
guilty of subornation of perjury in that he
induced Doblin to make the first. 1t Is
therefore of vital interest to Congressman
LESSER that the second statement, or that
part of it relating to himself, which he ex-
plicitly repudiated yesterday, should not BIZ
accepted as the truth. These are some OF
the complications already developed IN this
extraordinary case, and in view Of them
there are, as We must assume, sufficient
private motives for demanding that II
should be explored through and through.
