weather prevails. Otherwise they get wet too easily. For deer hunting in November they are very poor article. They are not waterproof, and if they get good and wet they will stretch all out of shape. They are also apt to make hunters feet sore, for in walk ing through the forest he can feel the sticks and stumps he steps on through their soles.
 DO not wear corduroy clothes. A good many men make the great mistake of wearing them, This material is not very good, 1t is all right so long as it doesn't rain, but there is nothing in the world quite so disagreeable as wet cor duroy. It works up into sort of pulp, and after one has been in a rain for ten or fifteen minutes the sportsman be- gins to wonder why he bought such a garment, One objection to canvas coats Is that brush makes lot of noise striking against them.

and then sewn up in a blanket, was placed on top of the pyre and wood piled on it until the pyre was about six feet in height with the body in the center oft. a.1
 A small fire was first built at one side and six two-pound squares of but ter were melted over it in metal busket. Then the fire was kindled un- der the pyre, and, as pitchwood was used as kindling, it was soon al lablaze. As soon as the fire was well started, one of the Hindoos took a dipperful of the melted butter and poured it over the corpse, chanting in his native tongue at the time.
 This was the only semblance of a re- ligious ceremony, and the explanation was made afterwards that the use of the butter was for sanitary purposes. While the cremation was commenced shortly after eight o'clock in the morn ing, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon before the entire body was consumed. Owing to the inaccessibili- ty of the place and the fact that no in- tirnation was given out as to the time and place the cremation was to be held, only few people witnessed it start. but later in the day the spot was visi- ted by a number of curious persons. The Hindoos were however, not inter- ferred with, and they paid but little at- tention to the pectators.-Astoria, Ore gon, Special to the Portland Oregonian.

 This house, the exact age of which is not known, has been repaired and part ly rebuilt The total cost of the lot, building and repairs has been about eight thousand dollars, secured as fol- lows From a legacy, $500; from sub- scrlptions, almost entirely within the parish, s2,761.S6; from special offerings at Easter, $415.94; from funds in sav- ings bank, begun in very small way about thirty years ago, $4 4,99362.
 With this purchase there is now am- pie room for any development the fu- ture may require, whether the house be used some day as rectory, or whether a rectory be built on another spot and thls house continued in its present uses.
 For this important achievement spec ial acknowledgment should be'made of the seal of the woman's guild, the good judgment of the wardsns and vestry and the liberality of many, expressed in gifts beyond their means according to common standards, and prompted ill two instances by pious reverence to the memory of beloved parents.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN PLOT.

Strange Story, of Attempted Robbery
 and Murder From India.
 A story of treachery followed by poetic retrlbution is told in a depatch dated October IS from Lucknow to a London newspaper. The scene of the occurrence is a little village with po- lice post a few miles from the Indian city.
 Late In the evening a traveller, the story goes, realizing that he could not reach Lucknow before dark and fear ing the dangers of the road, stopped at the house of the police inspector, 8 native official, and applied for shell ter for the night.
 q am carrying considerable sum of money" said he" and in view of the dangers of the country l desire to have your protection until I can re- sume my joureny by daylight
 The inspectator made him welcome, gave him water and food, finally taking him to a sleeping room, where he left him alone.
 AS the nlRnt wore on the traveller was stricken with sleeplessness. Pres ently he heard voices near his win dow and strange sounds of labor. He got up and looked out. His eyes, used to the greater darkness of the room, discerned two men digging in a field at the back of the house. He strained his ears to catch what they were say ling, and realized in a few moments that they were digging a grave for for him. They were in a plot with the inspector of police to murder him for his money and hide his body away be- fore daylight.
 In panic he stole through the house and crept out by a back door, He dashed through the village as noise lessly as he could, and a mile or so down the road climbed a tree where he sat in safety in the shadow of the

ATTIRE FOR HUNTERS.
Iunnberiack's Clothes Best for Shoot

Lunrberiack's Clothes Best for Shoot
 ing in the Northern Woods,
 Now that the big game hunting sea son will soon be here, many of the hunters who have arranged to go out into the wilds of northern Minnesota in search of the monarch of the forest are undecided on the question of how and what to wear"
 The covering for the feet is perhaps the most important. The writer finds that rubbers such as are worn by the lumberjacks in winter are about as good as anything that can be secured to go hunting in. cone can buy them as plain rubbers, coming ohN to the ankles, or with varying lengths of leather attached to the tops, which will reach from a little above the ankles all the way to the knees, according to the kind purchased. Those with about eight inch tops reaching to little above the ankles, seem to be the most fla vored.
 With them one is not supposed to wear any shoes. Over his ordinary hose he puts a pair of those heavy woodsman socks, which keep his feet as warm as toast on a cold fall or win ter day. The rubbers with the leather tops offer waterproof covering for the feet and the eight inch tops are high enough to keep all water one is apt to get into from coming over the tops. The best feature about them is that they are very light. Leather boots are altogether too heavy for the woods. Some they tire in one or two or many times the distance by wearing rubbers. Another very good feature is that they are about as noiseless as anything a person could get

THE FOREIGN DEVILS.
China Eager to Snap Her Fingers at
 Them

China Eager to Snap Her Fingers at
 Them.
 The Chinese Court is one of the proudest in the world, honestly believ- ing itself to be without rival in dig nifty or in resources or in a kind of divine right to primacy among the nations. It is as impatient of threats from merchants as we once were of threats from French colonels; and though, owing tot @ long tradition of military weakness, it finds evasion and trickery easier than defiance, it would, if 1t dared, prefer to wrap it. self up in a kind of deaf pride, and leave the barbarians to complain as long as they pleased without result.
 It has always hitherto considered any appeal to force as vulgar and violent; but the success of the Jap anese, both in importing Western civilization and winning battles, has acted in Pekin as the solvent of those old prejudices. The statesmen who govern, forced by the wounded pride of their subjects, who rage at their submi9siyeness, are willing to accept reforms" but intend by re- forms something very different from the meaning usually assigned to the word in Europe.
 They are seeking for more indepen- dence; that is, for better means of defying or punishing pressure from the barbarian world. If they could but secure an army and a fleet like those of Japan they would be content to leave all other reforms unsought.
 The Boxer movement, which was a spontaneous as well as a fierce one was not movement for more liberty, or more justice, or even lighter taxa tion, but was an effort to compel the Court to. rid itself of the foreigner and his influence. It is an army, not a constitution, which the governor general of Peehill is striving to found, and it is by no means clear that he will not succeed in founding it. Some European observers say his new forces 120,000 strong, are extremely well drilled, fairly oflicered, and provided

A HINDoo FUNERAL.
It Was a Novel Sight for the Few
 Americans Present.

It Was Novel Sight for the Few
 Americans Present.
 What is believed to be the first Hin- doc funeral and cremation ever solem- nized in this country took place Friday morning at a secluded spot in the woods about three miles southeast of this city. It was the cremation of the remains of Rauma Singh, the Hindoo who died in this city a couple of days ago of consumption, and whose body was, in accordance with an order is- sued by Circuit Judge Mcbride, turned over to the deceaseds countrymen yes- terday, to be disposed of according to the rites of their country and religion.
 The ceremony was quiet, was not as spectacular as was expected, and was not attended with the grewsomeness that was anticipated. In fact, the four Hindoos present went about the matter in a purely business-like manner and with little ceremony. It was evident that they were merely carrying out A duty that their religion made obligato- ry upon them.
 The body was taken to the scene by the deputy coroner and city physician. and there turned over to the Hindoos, who were to conduct the cremation, A pyre had beer. constructed of eordwood about seven feet. long, three feet wide and three feet high.

with all necessary munitions.
 China has large undeveloped re- sources, and mobile army, even though small, is a most efficient jn- strument for raising taxes The court too, has had two experiences which have dissipated many of It's lurking fears It used to dread Russia exceed ingly; and it has seen the Russian ar mics driven back by Mongols like its own subjects, men, indeed, whom it has been taught by tradition to re- gard as the interiors of Chinese, At the same time, 1t has found that its own ability to fly is a formidable in- strument of defense. It saw quite as clearly as the European statesmen that a march on singan from the cost was a more dangerous enterprise than Europe would consent to under take.
 Within a few years, therefore, the army of China may be increased ro 100000 men, and an invasion of the country will be as nearly impossible as ever since the retreat of 1872, the invasion of Russia has been held to be by all serious soldiers. With that force the Court will feel safe, and every grandee of foreign ambassa dor will be reduced to kind of glorified disputant on international law.-London Spectator.

foliage until daybreak came. Then as a patrol came along, he slipped down to the ground and told his story to the commanding officer.
 All hands returned to the village, and there the first news that greeted them was the mysterious disappear ance of the police inspector. The pa trol took up the search on new lines, The traveller located for them the grave that had been intended to re- ceive him. The recent disturbance of the ground was evident. The soldiers opened the trench, and there was found the body of the police inspector, horribly hacked.
 The arrest of the two men who had been seen with him late the previous evening followed, and then the whole case became simple. After arranging with his accomphces the plot to rob and murder the traveller, the police Inspector started to get drunk while they were busy digging the grave. In this condition the idea struck him that he would go in and do the kill ing himelf and so skim the cream off the booty instead of dividing evenly Stopping over the bed to grip his vic tim by the throat, he must have fallen forward and passed quickly into drunken slumber.
 When the two accomplices got the grave finished they began to wonder at the inspector's failure to turn up. They suspected that he vas off drink ing and they determined to do the job by themselves. Entering the house they armed themselves with the in- spectators sabre, and creeping into the room attacked the man in the bed literally hacking him to death.
 Then they struck a light to look for the plunder and, discovering their mistake, had nothing left to do but bury the murdered man in the grave they had dug.
