HINDU FUNERAL FIRES.
Burning the Dead at Benares a Care

Burning the Dead at Benares a Care
 less and callous Rite.
 Describing the burning of their dead by the Hindus of India at Bennres, Price Collier In scubners Magazine says:
 have been present at these burn ings. The bodies are brought in ou a frau litter A pile of logs is built up. held iu place by four iron stonrhious The body, with Che bcad uncovered. is placed on the logs, more logs arc piled on top. the litter is broken up and added Co the small fagu,s under meath and the fire lighted Th"re arc various ceremonies connected w.ta lAe rite. The body is carried several times around the pile before being placed up- on it. The nearest relative w1'Ss around the pile with a jar of water. letting it drip down as he goes till oi a sudden be dashes the jar Co tho ground, breaking it to pieces-a sym bol of life. everywherc. At a certain moment, too. the skull is fractured by the nearest relative Co allow Che 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 liEe, and the ceremonies are more elaborate and more prolonged. No doubt t is thc ideal way to dispose of a dead body. but when l have seen it done here it seemed to me a callous and careless rite.
 I have noticed all over India the 0b- soIutc indifference of the natives them selves to the pain and dcformitles and maladics that arc displayed as an excuse for aims. lt Is not the stoicism of our western Indians, who thought it dishonorable to show fear or to shrink from pain, but an imbedded ndilcr- ence. a numhness to this particular Influence.

aA Riuh. and lanfuI Rood. 2

An example of the old rough and ready methods of arriving at a meas urement Is the Elizabethan way of getting the fleet" Falentn Leigh, who wrote on surveying, records that after service on Sunday sixteen men were stopped at the church door just as they happened to come out, and drawn up in line, left foot to left foot. The length thus obtained was taken as "a right and lawful rood to meas ure and survey the land with, and a sixteenth part Of it as "a right and lawful foot" Although big and little men were thus roughly averaged against each other, the results nat urally varied to some extent Hence it is, as Shaw Sparrow notes in treat ing of this "rood" as the architectural bay" which gives us the 'bay win dow" that a bay is sometimes found to be rather less than sixteen feet of twelve inches.-LOndon Chronicle.
