There is very decided difference OF

dry cigar would find no customers. Ii
used to be the habit, and perhaps is
now, of men on their way to business
to step into a cigar makers shop and

Of the suction test in the Saco river Thurs
day the Portland Express says: Everything
worked splendidly, the only difficulty being
to find sand enough for her to pump. 1t was
found that at che rate she pumped She could
fill her tanks, holding 800 tons, in about half
an hour and that she could dump them
again in four minutes. She was also filled
with water and it was found that this could
be done in four minutes. The test was con
tinned again on Friday and was to have
been continued today, but it was found to
be too rough outside and it was decided to
come back into this port and remain over
again Monday for only the day and she will
endeavor to go to some place where there
will be sand enough to fill her up at one
trial. Efforts were made on the last trip to
pump at Old Orchard Beach, but even this
proved herself to be probably the finest
suction dredge in the country, although not
so large as the majority of them.

The big government dredge Key West,
which has been doing trial stunts down
river during the past ten days, completed
its test Wednesday morning and abont 9
O'Clock steamed away to Portland, says the
Biddeford Record
The trial was in every way satisfactory,
and while the ponderous dredge was scoop
ing up sand by the ton from the bottom of
the Saco and carrying it out to the mouth
of the river to be dumped large numbers of
people at one time and another watched the
work with wOnderment depicted ON their
cOuntenances and with expressions of in
terest and delight escaping from their lips
Monday afternoon, just before quitting
work for good, the Key West scooped up 45O
tons of sand in 40 minutes and dumped the
lot inside of three minutes, which is said to
be fair sample of the work it is capable of
doing right along.
Before leaving the SacO river the dredge
got cranky and for parting memorial but
ted in against the railroad pier at Camp
Ellis and did about $25 worth of damage to
the structure. The dredge was not damag-
ed a particle. This happened Monday and
this is the way it happened.
The dredge is equipped with steam re-
verse gear which became diSengaged by the
dropping of bolt and an attempt made to
reverse the Key West proved dismal fail
ure. Instead of reversing the monster crash
river end. One of the huge piles was taken
away and havoc was raised with some of
the heavy timberS and planking.
After the butting in process had been
completed and the dredge had left its mark
it steamed out from the wreckage Snorting
and putting as if perfectly satisfied with its
accomplishment.

After the body of a Brahman has

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, a large piece of cloth wrapped
round the body and bound with ropes
of straw. If the dead Brahman leaves
will his face is not covered; other
wise the shroud is brought up over the
head. The burning ground. or CHAT, is
usually near river, that those who
have taken part On the ceremonies may
purify themselves as quickly and as
easily as possible. Before erecting the
funeral pyre a 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 a 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-
