A Solemn Occasion.

When a certain well know comedian,
who prided himself on his fun making
ability, was starring" in Edinburgh
his landlord, who seldom attended any
public place save the kirk, asked him
if he would oblige him with a pass
for the playhOos." This favor was
readily granted, and the "gude man"
dOnned his best black suit and wit
messed the comedians two greatest
humorous representations. Meeting his
landlord the next morning, the comedi-
an asked how he liked the performance.

The Hawaiian natives habitually
swallow the smoke, and a few whiffs
are enough to produce intoxication.
This drawback, however, has its COM
pensating advantage, since the exhaus-

duce wholesale inebriation, as it is
passed from mouth to mouth.

BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior
to Year $40 A. d.

Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior
to Year $40 A. ID.
Prior to the year 646 A. D. the Japa-
nese had one Of the most horrible burial
customs that can be imagined-that Of
burying all the immediate friends and
retainers Of a prince or other person of
note in standing position around the
pOtentate's grave and leaving them in
the earth up to their necks to perish
Of thirst and hunger.
The custom cannot be said to have
been general as late as the date given,
for the Japanese records prove that in
the time of the Emperor Suinin (97-30
B. c. the burial rites of royal person
ages were so modified as to partially
abolish former cruelties. Speaking Of
a young brother of Suinin, who died
and had his retinue halied standing
around his grave, the Old record says:
For many days they died not, but
wept and cried aloud. At last they
died. Dogs and crows assembled and
ate of their heads The emperOrs COM
passion was aroused, and he desired to
change the manner of burial. When
the empress died, soon after, the mika-
do inquired of his officers If something
in the way of change could not be
suggested, and one proposed to make
clay figures Of men and bury them as
substitutes"
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved by
an edict issued in the year 646 A. D.,
the date given first above, which forbid
the burial of living persons and provid-
ed a penalty for further adherence to
the awful rite.-St. Louis Republic.

VAMPIRE BATS.
They Are Fond of Veal Blood and
Cause Death of Many Calves.

They Are Fond of Veal Blood and
Cause Death of Many Calves.
Vampire bats are found by thousands
in Veragas and Ciriqui. They are par
ticularly fond Of veal blood, but older
stock and horses, colts, mules and bur-
ros all suffer- did not catch a vam-
pire at his work, though 1 saw hun
dreds Of them, but the cattlemen all
tell the same story. The vampire set
ties somewhere on the back Of the
beast in the pasture at night and then,
while slowly tanning its wings to and
fro, cuts a circular piece Of skin one
quarter of an inch in diameter.
Through this hole he sucks the blood
till satisfied.
One wound would be Of little conse-
quence, nor would the loss Of blood do
much damage were that all, but half
dozen vampires may feast on one poor
calf or on the back Of saddle horse
in one night. The calf is badly weak
ened by the loss Of blood, while sad
die horse so served is worthless until
the wounds are entirely healed. But
that is not the worst result Of the bite.
The region swarms with a pestiferous
fly that soon after daylight finds the
wound and lays eggs in it. Unless the
wound is properly cleaned and dressed
with a waxy salve within forty -eight
hours after the vampires attack the
animal will be destroyed by the prog
eny Of the fly. The percentage OF
calves thus killed is large In spite OF
the watchfulness Of the cow herders.-

Modjeska's Stay Not to be Extended

Modjeska's Stay Not to be Extended.
The balloting by ticket purchasers
for the selection Of play for the
Modjeska testimonial at Keylor Grand
on December 80, has been so spirited
and close, the management endeavoreo
to have Jules hurry extend the dis.
tinguished actresses engagement so
that her many admirers, on this last
occasion, might see her in at least one
other of her famous roles besides the
one chosen. Judging from the enthu'
siasm with which the voting has bee
carried on, Modjeska would be greete
by overf1owing audiences if she re
NAMED in the city even three nighl
and presented Macbeth Much Ado
About Nothing" and Mary Stuart
But, unfortunately, Mr.. Murray tele
graphs the bookings for the farewell
Modjesks. to appear here on more than
one night. To do otherwise, other cit
the Modjeska interest is as great ir
them as it is here, and, therefore, the
local managers in those places will not
consent to cancellation. This leave
no doubt that the utmost capacity o.
performance-standin room bein;
taken with as much avidity as seat~
Whatever the result of the voting, it
is certain that Modjeskt will be seen
here under most pleasing circumstan-
ces, for she stands supreme in each
of the three plays being balloted upon
