After the body of Brahman has
been anointed with sesamum oil the
two toes are bound together and the
two thumbs. 1t is then dashed to a
litter made of two long parallel poles,
to which are fastened seven transverse
pieces of wood. The shroud is very
simple, large piece of cloth wrapped
round the body and bound with ropes
of straw. If the dead Brahman leaves
q will his face is not covered; other
wise the shroud is brought up over the
head The burning ground, or CHAT, is
usually near a river, that those who
have taken part In the ceremonies may
purify themselves as quickly and as
easily as possible. Before erecting the
funeral pyre shallow pit is dug and
partially filled with dry wood, the body
is covered with splinters of dry wood
and sprinkled with panchagaria, an
infammable liquid, and placed on the
pyre and covered with branches and
roots, like hut The nearest relative
or heir then takes lighted taper and
sets fire to the four corners of the pile
and leaves at once to perform the cere-
mony of publication. The carriers, be-
| ing of the lowest caste, remain until
the body is entirely consumed.

A Ruse of War.

This happened in 1907, when Colonel
Tate, with the Legion Noire, landed
near Fishguard, intending to march on
and burn Bristol. When the expedition
appeared off the coast there was only
handful of volunteers available to OPP
pose them, and Lord Cawdor, who was
in command, mustered all the Welsh
women he could gather together.
Each of these wore long red cloak
descending, petticoat fashion, almost to
her heels, and thus attired they were
made to march and countermarch
among the hills, presenting themselves
at different points to the view Of the
enemy in such way as to give the i'm
preston of red uniformed troops taking
up position. The French were so puz-
zled by their appearance that, although
they landed, they could not make UP
their minds to advance until sufficient
time had elapsed to raise the country
and bring forward real force strong
enough to beat them back.-Pcarson
