10 commit suit and burn herself on her
husbands funeral pyre comes from
India lately. An old Brahmin worth five
lakhs of rupees died at the age Of eighty
two years. His wife, who was seventy
eight decided 20 commit suit, as it IS
called in India, when her husbands body
was burned. She bought all the necessary
material, camphOr, sandalwoOd. and so
forth, gave away the rest Of her money
in charity. and then wearing only one
garment. ascended the funeral pyre Of
her husband, before which 1900 people
had assembled to witness her death. II
was discovered at the last moment that
she could not thus put an end 10 herself
without the governments permission, and
this she could not Obtain So the hus-
bands body was burnt alone, and the
old widow gave up food and water for
nine days and died of starvation on the
tenth day.

that We're placed before him, and also
gave abundant evidence OF his dlspleasure
at the extravaganza and unpatriotism Of
his officers in Offering him French cham
