Reincarnated in Lizard.

An old Cingalese woman, who lived
in an ordinary native hut by herself,
died and was buried. On the follow
day a large iguana "a species Of
lizard which attains great size) en-
tered the compound of a gentleman
living close by and attacked his poul-
try. Hearing the noise and commo-
ton, he came out and, on ascertain
ing the cause, got his gun and shot
the iguana. No sooner had he done
this than there arose a great uproar
from the relatives of the old woman,
who declared that he had killed her,
because her spirit had passed into the
lizard, in proof of which they pointed
triumphantly to the fact that it had
never before been seen in the vicinity
and only appeared after her death.
Rupees finally appeased the outraged
feelings of the old woman's de-
Bcendants.-Java Times.
