A RRAWNY EVANGELIST.
He First Whipped IA Bully and Then
BFoaEht Him to Church.

A methodist minister tells the fol-
lowing story about the late sam Rozel.
the great Virginia evangelist. who in
his day WAS one OF the best known
pulpit orators in the south:
sam IOZcl was very big man and
had wide reputation for physical
strength In his college days he came
Off the field OF combat. usually cir
cumscribcd and secluded area OF the
campus. wearing the laurel of victory
on many occasions, and after he be
came Il preacher stories Of his phys
ica prowcss were spread far and near.
"One day he went to a village to
hold prOtracted meeting. The village
blacksmith, who was u very big man,
and who was recognized, especially
among the tavern habtueS, as pugil-
istic wonder. heard about the coming
of Rozel and the villagers did not fail
to tell him all they had heard about
the size of the parsons arm and the
length of his legs, and of the con
vincng way he had of closing an ar
gumcnt with his fists.
"All this nettled the smith consid-
erably, 50 when Rozel reached the
town he sought him out and asked
him to fight.
"Rozel, of course, said he did not
want to fight. but the smith kept on
insisting, and finally Ioze became
angry and agreed to crafty the fell
low.
''They fought. Rozel literally wiped
up the ground with the big man. When
he had pounded him until the poor,
vanquished bully was gasping hard,
Rozel picked him up and threw him
over fence.
''rhe blacksmith had not said word
sine, the ARRAY began up to this point.
AS he rolled over on the other side Of
the fence, however, he called out:
Say, parson, kindly throw my
horse over too. I'm going away
But Rozel followed the man to his
home, and had him sitting on n front
bench ut the meeting that same night
singing louder than any one else

ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS.
Some Strange Observnnces Among
Australian Tribes

There are some queer customs OBJ
served by the native Australians. their
modes Of disposing of the dead being
noticeable and varied. when mother
loses q favoritc child she carries the
dead body about with her in box or
casing of bark until decomposition
forces her to dispose of it either by
burial or fire.
In the case of some prominent person
OF the tribe dying his nearest relatives
cut off his hands and keep them as
sacred remembrances, only parting with
them after the odor from the dead
members has become uncomfortable.
Then they are thrown into stream.
hidden in hollow tree or burned
Women are held In such contempt
among the Australian tribes that often
they receive no burial ut all, and it Is
a rare thing to see one mourned for by
family and friends. But at the funeral
of man or boy the lamentations are
loud and long, the female mourners be-
ing the most demonStrative
With some of the tribes the practice
of throwing the bodies of the dead over
the branches of trees and leaving them
for nature to dispose of is observed.

Loud Voiced Africans.

The timbre of the voices among cen
trail Africans is usually good-dcep and
strong in the men. very melodious and
sweet in the women. One notable Pc
culiarity about the people is the forced
key in which they always carry on con
versation. The ordinary quiet tones of
civilized speech are scarcely ever heard
among them. They literally shout. and,
such being their habit. it is Il matter OF
Indifference TO them whether the per-
son to whom they are speaking is
close by or twenty yards away. They
are most tirelcss chatterers," says a
traveller. II doubt whether any other
people in the world talk SO much or
laugh so much. Their laughter is par
icularly healthy, natural and unre-
strained, most celebrating sound"

SLUGGISH RIVERS.
The VoIEa Falls Only About Three
Inches Per Mile.


Considering its length the Volga is
the most sluggish river. In 2,325 miles
1t falls only GGJ feet. or slightly over
three inches per mile, while at one
point about the middle of its course
the bed is fully fifty feet below sea
level. Thus all the water to that height
above the bottom must be still, save
when stirred by floods.
The Volga also is singular among
great rivers in having no mountainous
course. 1t rises among marshes and
lakes, and is so sluggish even then
that a dam has been erected, which
makes It navigable from its siXty-fifth
mile onward Almost within the his
toric period it must have been an OIL
shoot from the Caspian. which then
stretched far into the interior of Rus
STA, drying up into II series of river
connected lakes. The Volga has taken
the place of these, along with many of
their characteristics, including a gen
eral sluggishness.
The Schedt is proverbially slow
river and is practically lost in maze
of canals, but its fall from source TO
sea is about fourteen inches in its total
length of 240 miles.

JAPANESE FAMILY AT A MEAL

persons at most sit down 10 one table.
No, not sit down but squat down.
The Jap does everything almost with
his feet curled up out of the way under
him on ne mat on the floor
When one sits down to dinner in
Japan it is not to well-arranged and
deliberately set table. There is moth
ing in sight but the bare floor and the
waiting servant. AS soon as you be-
come seated upon the floor, however,
your table makes its appearance, upon
which the servant has placed a small
bowl of soup, one of fish and one of
some kind of beans or vegetables;
also an empty bowl, with a cover, and
a tiny fiat saucer containing a few
small cubes of 'Daikon," Ca kind of
turnip which is served raw and it
eaten at the close of the meal much
as cheese is served at the close of the
meal in America). And besides the
eatables there are the chop-sticks,
without which the meal could not be
partaken of.
While you are wondering what the
empty bowl can be for the 'nesan"
(servant) brings in tub of rice, and
sits down before you. You take off
the cover from the empty bowl and
with a bow hand it over to her. She
receives it on a tray, digs out some
rice with a wooden spatula, shaped
very much like a battledore, and fills
the bowl, replacing it on the tray and
handing it back to you with another
bow You put the bowl Of rice upon
your table, and first drink your soup.
Then with the rice bowl in the left
hand and the chop sticks in the right,
you take a mouthful of fish, then of
rice, and so on of whatever viands
may bet set before you. So goes the
meal, and you may pass your rice
bowl UP to the waiting servant as
often as you please to have it replen-
ished, but vt is seldom that the other
articles of diet are replenished.
Rice is the staff of life of the Japan.
csc, and it is a chief part Of the menu
supper. In an ordinary household
rice is boiled early in the morning
for the breakfast and midday meal,
and a fresh quantity cooked for the
evening repast. 1t has been said that
in Japan is the only place where they
know how to cook rice. 1t is eXquis
itely prepared there, and spoiled most
everywhere else in the world. The
Japanese cook knows exactly how
much water to put in so that by the
time the rice is done enough water
has boiled away to make it ready to
serve And -yhen you have finished
your meal you pour some tea into your
rice bowl and drink it. You may leave
as much as is necessary in the other
bowls or dishes, but it is considered
very bad manners to leave any rice.

WHAT The JAP EATS
THE STAPLE ARTICLES OF DIET
ARE RICE AND FISH.
How Food Is Served and Eaten by
People of Flowery Kingdom
A Glimpse Into Kitchen
of a japanese Zone.

Some sage has declared that "tell
me what you eat, and | will tell you
what you are" and doubtless to a very
great extent it is true that what goes
into the stomach later comes out in
the physical, mental and moral man.
But however that may be, when we
propose to have little chat about the
food question Of Japan, it is not with
the purpose or desire to discuss the
character of the people of the little
island kingdom. Anywhere one may
go in Japan he will find the rice bowl
and the cooked or raw fish in evidence
on the little lacquered table with
raised edge which serves as individual
dining table, for in Japan the family
table is unknown, and generally two
