WeU.Muscled Boy. .

A few weeks ago in a village q Few
miles from Mexico City a citizen went
tn the alcalde and complained that a
bow ten years old had stolen and car
ried away his donkey. He insisted
that the boy had carried the animal
on his shoulder. The police laughed
at the idea, but when the lad was ar
rested it was shown that the state
ment was true. The boy had carried
a gooi-sized donkey a quarter OF q
mile ON his shoulder without a stop.
He did the trick again for the benefit
of the police.
Various tests were made OF his
strength, and it was found that he had
the muscle of two ordinary men. He
is in jail now, but when he comes out
the people will have to look out that
he doesn't carry off their houses some
night.

Canaanite BuriaA

Some important discoveries n6ve
lately been made with regard to the
burial customs of the Canaanites. n
bodies were usually deposited In
caves. as Abraham deposited the body
of Sarah. The v were either
natural hcllows in the rock. such az
abound in Palestine, or arttacially
formed excavations. usually roughly,
circular. On the floor of th1oe caves
the body was laid, in a contracted po-
sition. Stones were placed round 1t
and earth strewn over it. ~ the use

it and a saucer inverted over II to
keep it warm, that was found IN one
tomb in Gezer. Spears, swords, orns-

were also deposited. These oajects
are valuable testimonies to the bellef
of the Canaanites in the continuance
after death Of a life similar - the
earthly existence.
