BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Custom of Japanese Prio
to Year GAG A n

Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior
to Year GAG A. d.
Prior to the year GAG 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 a standing DO
sition around the potentate's grave and
leaving them in the earth up to their
neeks 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 (97-3O
B. C) the burial rites Of royal son.
ages were SO modified as to Partially
abolish former cruelties. Speaking Of
a young brother of Suinin, who died
and had his retinue buried 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 off their heads. The emperor's
compassion was aroused, and he de-
sired to change the manner of burial.
When the empress died, soon after, the
mikado inquired of his officers If some
thing 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 pro-
vided a penalty for further adherence
to the awful rite.-St. Louis Republic.

Eminent Doctors Praise It's Ingredisnts.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
DR.. John Fyfe one of the Editorial staff
of The ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (HelOnidS DiOicd) which
is one of the chief ingredients of the VIA
vorite Prescription
"a remedy which invariably acts as utter
inc invigorator makes for normal &C
tivity of the entire reproductive system"
He continues sin Helonias we have medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug iDtth tDhtch am
acquainted In the treatment of diseases Pc
culiar to women it is seldom that case Is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" DR.. Fyfe further
says: uThe following are among the leading
indications for Helonias Unicorn root. Pain
or aching in the back, with leucorrhoea;
atomic (weak) conditions OF the reproductive
organs of women, mental depression and ir-
ritability, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs of women. constant
sensation OF heat In the region OF the kid

ened condition of the reproductive system;
amenorrhpa Suppressed or absent monthly
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and an9mic thin bloody habit; dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part OF the
abdomen"
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, one of the leading ingredi-
ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias,
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
OF Golden Seal root. another prominent
ingredient of rFavorite Prescription, :"
Prof. Finley E,lingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
at is an important remedy in disorders of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement. it is useful"
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root:
uIn relation to its general effects on the
system there Is no medicine in use about tUhich
there is such general undnimity of opinion. 1t
Is universally regarded as the tonic useful in
all debilitated states"
Prof Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal:
cValuable in uterine hemorrhage menor-
rhagia (1ooding) and congestive dysmenor-

DIR Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith
fully represents all the above named in
gradients and cures the diseases for which
they are recommended.

CarlyIe's Bluntness.

Thomas Carlyle once took Lord
Houghton Orchard Milnes) to task In
regard to the proposed pension for
Lord Tennyson. Richard Mines"
said Carlyle, taking his pipe out of his
mouth, when are ye gaun to get that
pension for Alfred Tennyson" Mines
tried to explain that there were diff
culties in the way and that possibly
his constituents, who knew nothing
about Tennyson, would accuse him of
being concerned in job were he to
succeed in getting the desired pension
for the poet. Richard Mines" replied
the sage, ION the day Of Judgment,
when the Lord asks We why We didna
get that pension for Alfred Tennyson,
it'll no do to lay the blame on your
constituents. It's you that'll be
damned"

THE OCTOPUS.
ITS Terrible Army of Suckers and Its
Powerful Jaws.


Both the octopus and the cuttlefish
have arms that are clothed with
formidable array of suckers which ara
wonderful pieces of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object the central piston, having pre-
ly fill the cavity of the sucker, is at
once withdrawn and a peI&cct vac
uum produced explaining the great te-
nacity with which the suckers cling
They number upward of 100 pairs to
each arm of the octopus, and once they
arm is actually torn away from the
body of the octopus, it is practically
impossible for its prey to disentangle
itself.
In addition to these suckers the octo-
pus has a powerful pair Of jaws, shap-
ed like the beak of parrot, behind
which is q formidable armor plated
tongue used as rasping organ. The
octopus will attack and kill crabs and
Holsters of considerable size, ripping
open the body by means of its powerful
jaws and devouring the contents. In
spite of being a creature of such awe
inspiring looks the octopus has several
enemies in various species of whales
sharks and cOnger eels. In fact, the
latter are particularly fond of devour
ing the smaller octopuses.
Conger eels hunt for the octopus and
when found, proceed to browse on its
limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery, Shiny conger tight, but il
vain, and, finding its limbs growing
less, discharges it's ink in the face Of
the foe and under cover Of the turbid
water beats a hasty retreat. 1t is tt
escape the too pressing attention Of
its foes that the octopus possesses the
power of changing its color to CORE
| SDOnd with that of its surroundings.

Nerve of n stoMnNny.

The captain of Mediterranean liner
was talking about stowaways.
"Most of those fellows" he said
"have an excessive quantity of cheek
of brass. Once we discovered a stow
away few days out from New York
and put him to work in the galley.
A lady on tour of inspection paused
by the stowaway as he sat peeling po-
tatoes.
GLOW soon do you think We'll reach
Naples?' she said to him.
"'Well, madam he replied, I'm do
ing all 1 can to get her in by Tues
day."

An Affidavit.

The suggestion of an English barris-
ter that certain matter was a proper
subject for oral examination, not for
affidavit, agreed with the emphatic
opinion of an English justice recently
retired. He was once trying a case at
the Manchester assizes in which a man
had been cross examined upon an affi-
davit. Summing up the evidence to the
jury, the judge said, Gentlemen, Of all
the weapons in the whole armory Of in
iquity there is nothing to equal an af-
fidavit for concealing the truth"

WHEN WE STAND UPRIGHT.

A Special Complex Mechanism Ena-
bles Us to Do 1t.
We are so accustomed to standing
upright as a natural attitude that few
of US think what a special complex
mechanism is required for this pur-
pose A moments consideration will
show that the ordinary explanation Of
the erect position Ghe center of gravi-
ty to be directly above the feet is in
sufficient. When a man Is suddenly
shot, whether from the front or behind,
he drops on his face, for the truth Is
that there is much more weight in the
front Of the spinal column than be-
hind it.
The fact is that when we are stand
ing large number of powerful mus
cles (both front and back are stimuli
taneously at work, the effects of their
action being to neutralize each other.
Thus the legs would fall forward were
it not that they are kept vertical on
the feet by the strong tendon (the
"Achilles'1 at the back of the heel
At the same time the muscles of the
thigh are tightened so as to prevent us
taking sitting position, and the mus
cles of tse back are pulled tense so that
the trunk does not stoop forward The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the ligaments in the nape OF
} the neck.
That the upright is not its normal
position is easily shown by the fact
that a man mods as he is falling asleep
for as soon as the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back into position again witt
a jerk when the brain becomes sud
J denly aware of an unusual attitude.
