HINDU FUNERAL PYRES. i
Burning the Dead at Benares q Care
less and Callous Rite.

less and Callous Kite.
Describing the burning of their dead
by the Hindus of India at Benares,
Price Collier In Scribner's Magazine
says:
/ have been present at these burn
ings The bodies are brought in on
frail litter. A pile Of logs is built up,
held in place by four iron stanchions.
The body, with the head uncovered,
is placed on the logs, more logs are
piled on top, the litter is broken up
and added TO the small fagots under
meath and the fire lighted. There are
various ceremonies connected with the
rite. The body is carried several times
around the pile before being placed up
on II. The nearest relative walks
around the pile with jar of water,
letting 1t drip down as he goes till Of
a sudden he dashes the jar to the
ground, breaking 1t to pieces-a sym
Dol of life. everywhere. At a certain
moment. too, the skull is fractured by
the nearest relative to allow the easy
escape of the spirit TO another world.
Where the deceased Is rich the fire Is
made of costly and sweet smelling
wood, sandalwood and the like, and
the ceremonies are more elaborate and
more prolonged. No doubt It is the
ideal way to dispose Of a dead body,
but when j have seen It done here 1t
seemed to me n callous and careless
rite.
1 have noticed all over India the abb
solute indifference of the natives them
selves to the pain and deformities
and maladies that are displayed as an
excuse for aims. 1t is not the stoicism
of our western Indians, who thought IL
dlshonorable to show fear or to shrink
from pain, but an imbedded indiffer-
ence, a numbness to this particular
influence.

FEATHERED TYRANTS.
All the Fowls of the Air Dread the
Muscicapa Birds.

All the Fowls OF the Air Dread the
Musoioapa Birds.
Police work is the strangest of the
work done In the world of birds. In
France and central Europe the musci-
capa birds police the air. posted on
telegraph wires. Black, with heads
decorated with orange fillets. these
notable fycatchers are dreaded by
the brigands of the air, Eagles, fal
cons and all the feathered strong men
of the ether shrink from an encounter
with this tyrant. When the tyrant
cannot find wires TO perch on he
perches on a pole. When stationed in
prairie or pasture he perches upon
the back of an OK. He lives by hunt
ing insects and attacks all birds, even
the strongest. using beak and claws
in the unequal struggle. All the fowls
of the air fear the police bird. and
even the most active pillagers of the
nests feign honesty when under the
sharp eye Of the Muscicapa tyrannus.
In winter the tyrant takes posses
sion of the warm sheltsrs priced 10y
birds. In spring. when the young are
twittering in the nests. the tyrant
turns "tbief" and sows terror among
friends and enemies alike. Even the
sparrows banded to fall upon a field
fly away when they see the black coat
and orange flllet of the policeman"
The tyrant holds his power by his
audacity. All animals yield TO the
influence Of courage. a quality special
ly tenacious in birds. The tyrant bird
Is small, but his attitude commands
