It is the sevenfold circuit of tree or

with the end of his coat tied to the
end of the cloth which his girl wife
wears on her head, symbolical of
their union. All the time they do this
they must not look at each other, but
upward. The Hindoo is bound to in.

A Human Brick.

When Herman Unger, commercial
traveller down Boston way, concluded
10 depart this life he desired some
disposition of his body which would
preclude resurrection. Accordingly he
aecreed that his corpse be cremated
and that the ashes be mixed with suf-
hcient cement to form solid rock.
Upon his demise recently his rela.
lives carried out his wishes. Mixing
i've parts cement with one part ashes,
they did the good Herman into a
brick. Pressed into the face thereof
are these words: Herman Unger.
Leave me in peace" But we believe
that such brick as Herman cannot,
and should not, be left in peace to es.
cape resurrection, says the st. Louis
Republic. Herman should fit nicely
into the golden and jasper streets OF
the happy future. If the road to hell
Is paved with good intentions, why
not pave the road to heaven with
cynical purpose? Why not prove that
no poor mortal, however he seeks to
escape happiness, can fail to come
Into 1t at last-be he no more than
beatified brick in the pavement of the
