PITH AND POINT.

In order to be popular forget to say
a good deal.
Wisdom is always conceded to rich
man until he loses his riches.
Do not emphasize your own virtues
by charging on the failings of others.
A safe way to judge man is to as
certain just what friends he doesn't
make.
A genius is man who refuses to be-
Iieve in the impossibilities of other
people.
The claims to wisdom of owls and a
multitude of men rest upon their looks
and nothing more.
To get rid of a bore ask him to re-
peat his longest and fayorite story
twice. Even he cannot stand that.
Only smart man can conceal from
woman the fact that he isn't as
smart as he would wish her to think
he is.
One of the curious things about a
man who wants to borrow money from
you today is his eager determination
to repay it tomorrow.
There are three stages in the exist
ence of the average man when he is Of
particular interest to his community
viz, at his birth, marriage and funeral

BURNING A WIDOW.

The Story of Witness of This Cruel
Indian Custom.
/ had the opportunity of seeing a
young widow burn herself by the side
of her deceased husband. The funeral
pile was about ten feet high. In the
middle Of the pile lay her deceased hus-
band, an old and miserable looking
man. The devoted victim was a young
creature about seventeen, dressed in
white, with all her jewels on. There
was a confused noise of singing and
shouting, intermiXed with the sound of
tomtoms and at intervals the hollow
and sonorous sound of gongs and trum-
pets The priests and her friends crowd
ed round her, all speaking to her at
once, apparently to distract her atten-
ton and to prevent her shrinking at the
last moment from sacrificing herself.
There was a small tank of water
close to the funeral pile. They led her
to this. l was very near her when
saw her quietly take the jewels from
her ears, her nose unclasp her gold
bracelets as well as the bangles from
her ankles and every ornament she had
on which were received by her rela
tons.
She then stepped into the water, di-
vested herself of her clothes Of pure
white and replaced them with clothes
of a yellow color. She then performed
her additions, came out of the water
and, unassisted, walked three times
round the pile, followed by the priests
and her friends, who at this period ap-
peared to be more urgent and loud in
their discourse to her to distract her
attention She then, unassisted, mounted
the pile, laid herself down by the side
of her husband and put his head under
her arm, turning herself toward him.
Then they sprinkled large quantities
of oil and straw on the pile. The ia
tai fire was then applied, and amid
loud shouts and while the fire reached
her l distinctly heard her utter the
words "Nirva! Nirvaw
| was very near her during the diff
ferent parts Of the ceremony and could
have saved her life by merely touching
her, as she would then have been de-
filed and would not have been permit
ted to have the honor of sacrificing her
self
But in saving her life I stood the
chance of being torn to pieces, and
certainly should have been brought to
a court martial for disobedience of or
ders, for the English in those days
were strictly forbidden to NEEDLE with
the customs and prejudices Of the ma
tives.-Georg Ebers' Memoirs"

Often you will hear a person say
they have trouble in securing a

handle only Landreths in dated

get old seed, and then we make a

for this climate.
