FEAR RETURN OF THE DEAD
Significance of Str nge Funeral Rites
That Prevail Among IN
civilized Peoples.

Nearly all savage people (and not a
few civilized ones). dread lest the
dead should return to trouble them.
For this reason an Australian tribe
"lll always desert a camp in which a
MAJ has died, and erect new mlamias
at some distant spot. Among many
african tribes a hole is knocked in the
wall OF a hut in which a man dies, and
the corpse Is carried through that In
stead OF through the doorway, so that
the spirit of the dead man may not
be able to find its way back. Some
bornean tribes have a similar dread.
and elaborate precautions are taken
10 prevent the dead from returning to
the living. AT the graveyard a stick.
ctett in the shape of a V, is placed
IN the ground. and through this the
funeral procession passes In single
lille. AS soon as the coffin has been
placed on the stage erected for the
purpose, the people commence their re-
turn. following one another's heels as
quickly as possible, saying as they re-
pass through the V-shaped stick:
Keep back, close out all things evil
and sickness When the whole par
~ has passed through, the cleft ends
Of the stick are tied together, and this
is then regarded as "a wall that sep
afates the living from the dead. By
so doing they believe that they shut
out the spirit of the deceased. They
believe that the spirit Of the dead Is
not aware that life has left the body
until a short time after the coffin has
been taken to the graveyard, and then
not until the spirit has had leisure to
notice the clothes, weapons, and 9TH
er articles belonging to its earthly es-
tate, which are placed with the coffin.

The righteousness in placing the
date of the Gibraltar skull at 600, 900
years ago lies in the fact that the
basis of argument thus laid deies lrea,
sonable dispute. Working from so
long ago it is manifestly difficult, If
not utterly hopeless, to come to more
reasonable things. If the life-date OF
an unearthed skull Is placed, say, at
10000 years ago, some one may rise
and remark that it would be more con,
seryative to date the Sad at, say, 1900
years ago. But what would be thought
of an ~archaeOlogist or any other sort
OF 'gist' who methaphorically stared
Prof. Keith in the face and asserted
that instead of GOO. 900 years ago, the
Gibraltar woman whose skull is under
observation lived perhaps only 597, 500
years ago? The excellence of the
Keith hypothesis (f n may call it
that), is apparent.

The Power Of P.derewskI.

A hard headed business man went to
hear Paderewskl play, says A. Z.
Thomas In Success Magazine. The
man is not musician. He spends his
days trying to buy cotton when 1t Is
low and sell it when 1t is high. This
is how he described his experience at
the piano recital.
"You know, I'm not easily stirred up,
and don't know anything about mu-
sic. / wouldn't know whether man
was playing the piano extremely well
or just fairly well. But | do know
that Paderewski played one thing that
afternoon that stirred me up as new

told whether he was playing an hour

IT was principally through the effec-
tive pitching of big Eddie Zmich that
Marion won.
Bill Ludwig was trotted out by
Pete Childs for powerhouse duty and
Bill was in good shape but the call
ers developed a distressing habit of
hitting at the right times. 1t started
in the first inning when Ayette made
the circuit and kept up until the end.
Marion scored one in the fifth and
the third one arrived in the ninth.
Portsmouth was able to tie up in
the first round but after that zmich
had the locals feeding from his
paws. Diggers felded well behind
him, particularly Hummel, Ayette
and Thomas.
On the other hand Ludwig called
upon his fellows for more valiant
service and one-handed catches by
Hornung and O'Day were particular
features, both cutting off runs for
the Diggers.
