A Nose For Tobacco.

Lord Deas, Scotch judge, was
once hearing a case when the smell
of tobacco permeated the room, and,
being in opposition to the rules,
search was made to trace the Of
fender, without avail. Finally the
ushers said it must come from the
retiring room of the lawyers. This
his lordship secuted, saying:
,"No such thing. Dae ye mean to
tSA me the gentlemen Of the bar
sml6ke common Limerick twist?"
Strange to say. shortly after an
Irishman in court discovered the
pipe he hid placed aight in his
pocket had set fire to the lining, and
1t was loaded with Limerick twist.
The judge had a good nose and knew
what he was talking about.

IMyoXIMo THE SPIRITS.
Queer superstitiens Of the Veddss Of
ceylon.

DR.. c. G. seligman, writing in
Travel and Exploration, throws
some interesting light on the beliefs
and superstitions of the Veddas, the
strange hill tribes and cave dwellers
of Ceylon: "Altbough there is no
clearly formulated idea of death
contagion, the rapidity with which
all Veddas leave the place where a
death has occurred and avoid it for
years shows that some evil quality
is associated with dissolution. Ac-
cording to most Veddas, the spirit
of every dead man, woman or child
becomes 'yaka' plural 'yaku')
within few days after death.
Some Veddas, however, say that
when ordinary folk die they cease
utterly and that a surviving part,
which becomes a yaka, exists only
in the case of especially strong, en-
ergetic or skilled men, who have
shown their strength Of character
in this world or who have had the
power of calling the yaku during
their lifetime
"Since each Vedda community
consists of small number of fami-
lies, usually related by blood and
marriage, the yaku of the recent
dead-called collectively the ne va
ku--are supposed to stand toward
the surviving members of the group
in the light Of friends and relatives,
who, if well treated, will continue
their loving kindness to their sur
vivors, and only if neglected will
show their disgust and anger by
withdrawing their assistance or
even becoming actively hostile;
hence it is generally considered
necessary to present an Offering to
the newly dead, usually within a
week or two of death. This offering
must consist of cooked rice and CO.
coanut milk, the food that every
Vedda esteems above all other, but
betel leaves and areca nuts are often
added.
"In each community there is one
man, called 'kapurale,' or 'duggana-
wa who has the power and knowl-
edge requisite to call the yaku, and
this man calls upon the yaka of the
recently dead man to come and take
the offering. The yaka comes, and
the kapurale becomes possessed by
the yaka of the dead man, who
speaks through his mouth in hoarse,
cultural accents, stating that he ap-
proves the offering and will assist
his kinfolk in hunting and often
definitely indicating the direction
in which the next hunting party
should go. One or more of the near
relatives may also become possessed.
Soon after the spirit leaves the
kapurale the rice is eaten by the as
sembled folk"
