Canaanita BurIaIs,

Some important discoveries have
lately been made with regard to the
burial customs of the Canaanites. The
bodies were usually deposited in
caves. as Abraham deposited the body
Of Sarah. The caves were either
natural hollows in the rock, such as
abound In Palestine, or artificially
formed excavations, usually roughly
circular. On the floor of these caves
the body was laid, in contracted Pc.
sition. Stones were placed round It
and earth strewn over 1t. For the use
of the spirit Of the deceased vessels
Of food and drink were placed near.

earthly existence.

AS all the world knows, queer things
happen in the land Of the car. There
are grand duke and a grand duchess
In st. Petersburg who do not refer in
private conversation to an incident in
which theV both figured. A theatrical
company arrived In the Russian cap
ital from Berlin. The leading lady
was pretty and the tenor was an
Adonis. The grand duke and the
grand DUCHESS enjoyed the first per
Torrance very much indeed. The next
afternoon the grand duke had an en-
gagement and went alone to a first
class cafe in the city, where he was
Joined by the leading lady he had
seen the night before. The cafe is so

small rooms facing central hall, at
the top Of which a band discourses

wit. He was having a stupid time and

To the horror Of the grand duke,
there was the grand duchess; sitting at
table with the tenor of the company
to which the actress belonged. The
tenor looked at the actress with az
much amazement as the grand duke
and grand duchess did at each other.
Shouting at the grand duke that he had
lnsulted his wife (for this was the re.
lation he had with the woman) he
rushed at him, and for few minutes
there was a great mixup in the little
room. The attendants hurried to the
scene and separated the combatants.

and the grand duke took the grand
duchess to their palace -. ..

tenor and his wife had been given
passports early In the morning and
