BuRlALs IN CUBA.

Customs That ncmind One of the
Pnrsees of bombay.
Burial customs i'll Cuba are almost
rs strange rs the Parsee customs and
their towers of silence in Bombay. 1t
seems that the reopening Of graves in
Cuba is the result of long established
custom of burying as many bodies as
possible in Il single grave. The Gene
terry routine is like this:
First some one, usually the head Of
n family, buys plot. He ut once sets
to work digging his own grave and
graves for I'LL the members of his fam
lily. He digs several graves six feet
long for adults and one grave four feet
long to provide for the possible death
of child. When the entire area of the
plot is thus in open graves the digger
turns mason and plasterer. He ce-
ments each grave, bottom and sides.
Then he fills IN the ccmented graves
With soil and goes home with the salts
factory thought that he may look upon
his own grave during his lifetime and
that it is ready for him at any time he
is ready for it,
But the wcirdcst part Of this custom
is yet to be told. In the MIDDLE of the
plot square grave is dug, n hole
about six feet each way. This square
hole is cemented like the graves and
filled in with soil. 1t should be explain.
ed here that the bodies in the graves
are covered with Quicklime. When the
flesh has disappeared and only the
bones are left the bones are taken out
of the grave and thrown into the
square hole in the center Of the plot
Thus the graves are used over and
over again until the square hole III the
center is filled with the bones of the
members of this or that family. Then
the hole is sealed over, and that par
ticular family plot is abandoned and Q
new one purchased Tit-Bits

noon to his mother instead of playing
poodle for Enid"
"How dare you call Jack poodleY"
was the indignant exclamation.
"Allow me-" drawled Pyne. 'I'm
very glad your sister classified him"
Constance suddenly felt her face and
neck afiame. Pyne was standing on
her left, Enid on her right. The quiet
mistakable that Enid for one instant
withdrew her eyes from the distant
ship. A retort was quick on her lips,
until she bethought her that the Amer
leans statement might have two mean

Being tactful withal, she chose her
words while she dubbed forth:

requires all the dots I'm sure Jack is
monopolizing the dashes. He must be

dropped her glasses.

AT NEXT COURT TERN.
Aliens Must Take Out Papers I'm
der New Law.

1t is the opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral Coleman that aliens who took
out their first naturalization papers
declaring their intention to become
citizens Of the United States, more
than seven years ago must complete
their naturalization by taking out
their second papers before September
81, or lose their right to citizenship.
This opinion was handed down in
answer to letter Of inquiry written
by A. G. Sewers, clerk Of the district
court Of Stafford county, asking the
effect Of the new. naturalization law
enacted at the last session OF Congress
According to the Kansas law an
alien becomes voter as soon as he
takes out his first naturalization
papers and under the old federal law
an alien might take out his first nat
uralization papers OF any time after
two years from the date on which the
first papers were taken out. But the
Kansas law has befuddled q great
many aliens. As soon as they take
out their first papers they are permit
ted to vote and great many take 1t
for granted that their naturalization
is complete. 1t has been shown in
Kansas that many aliens who took out
their first papers twenty-five years
ago have never taken out their second
papers and consequently are not
citizens Of this country. All Of these
must take out their second papers be-
fore September 81 or loose their rights
to citizenship according to Attorney
General Coleman's reading Of the new
law,

BIG BARN BURNED.
Clarence Taylor of Pearl Suffers
Severely.

0NNSASAys
About II o'clock last Thursday the
big horse barn Of Clarence Taylor
near Pearl was destroyed by fire, the
cause Of which is unknown. All the
horses were rescued but the contents
which included 100 tons Of alfalfa,
400 bushels chop, harness, saddles,
some machinery were total loss.
The rain which came helped subdue
the flames and prevent their spread
to other buildings. Mr.. Taylor esti-
mates his loss at $1,000, with about
$4,000 insurance. The burning Of the
alfalfa is the most serious loss as it
constituted his main hay supply for
the winter.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.

MIR. Forbes Used Hyomei With
Perfect Success.

Perfect success. a.
Before the discovery Of Hyomei the
only advice a physician could give tc
hay fever patients was to 60 away
from home; but now If Hyomei is
used any one who is subject to this
disease can stay at home without fear
of the annual attack Of sneezing, the
watery eyes and other discomforts.
Mr.. J. F. Forbes, a well-known
ives ern railroad man Of McCook, Neb.,
writes: II never had any relief from
any hay fever remedy even temper
arily until l discovered the merits Of
Hyomei. l always recommend it
when occasion presents"
There is no offensive or dangerous
stomach dosing when Hyomei is used.
This reliable remedy for the cure Of
all diseases of the respiratory organs
is breathed through neat pocket in
haler that comes IN every outfit, SO
that the air breathed into the throat
and lungs is like that of the White
Mountains and other health resor S
where hay fever is unknown.
The fact that J. M. Gleissner agrees
to refund the money to his hay fever
customers if it fails to relieve, should
inspire confidence in every sufferer.
