Ice TombS That Open.

The body of guide, perfectly pre-
served, has been yielded up by one Of the
Swiss glaciers after period OF twenty

creyasSe. His body was lately recovered.
its appearance unchanged by the longlm
priSonment in the ice. There have been
other cases Of the bringing back OF a long
lost body held for years in the close en-
brace OF the ice One OF the first in
stances on record relates to the Hamel ac-
cident which occurred IN 1920. Several
guides were swept down by an ava
lanche and hurled into crevasse. Ham
el propheSied the glacer would yield
them up in the course OF a thousand
years, but Forbes believed that the end
OF the glacier would be reached by the
bodies in forty years. This statement
was considered bold. but its accuracy was
borne out by the event. In forty years
the flow OF ice brought the bodies TO
li!ht. In 1866 Henry Arkwright was lost
in glacier In just thity-one years his
brother received a telegram from the
Mayor of Chamouni. stating that the body
had been found. Every article OF cloth
ing was intact. His name and regiment
could be read clearly on his handkerchief,
and his gold pencil-case opened and shut
as easily as when he had last used it three
decades before.

He Convinced Himself.

The way 10 win any cause is to state
your ideas, and keep on stating them till
every one else accepts them. One must.
however, be certain that the ideas are
true, for person can tell falSehood
"tilI he gets to believing it himself" and
then none is so grossly deceived as he.
That was the case Of boy on a boat ex-
curSion mentioned by the Cincinnati
Times Star.
He was late getting TO the boat. BY
the time he reached it every chair on the
desirable side OF the deck was filled. He
thought Of scheme.
"Have you seen the whale2" he asked
those near him. "They've got him tied to
the dock, and he's thrashing round with
his tail like anything"
Those he spoke to paid no attention.
So he went on, and told the story to 9TH
erS. BY and by few arose and went 10
see the whale. He kept on telling the
story. More went round to see the
whale. The boy was left alone on the
deck.
He selected the best chair, and placed
it in the most desirable posltio" by the
rail. The crowd did not come back. He
wriggled about uneasily, and finally he
jumped up and ran to the other side OF
the boat.

The Reason She Stopped Her Paper.

at a time and sailed into The newspaper

no ceremony, but wildly asked:

All right. madam
"Stop it right away, too"
"It's stopped" we replied, making a
blue line through her husbands name on
the subscription list.

The Rabbit and Her Many Friends.

II happened that rabbit with winning
ways had many friends, and once when
the fierce hounds were chasing her she
gladly went to them for help. Running
to the horse, she asked him to carry her
to safety on his back, but he told her
that he had very important engagement
with his master and was sure her friend
the OK would help her. When she asked
the OK TO repel the hounds with his horns
he told her he was very SorY, but he
had planned TO spend the day with friends
in the pasture. "Surely you have many
friends who will be glad TO help you;
there is your friend the goat; he has long
sharp horns" To the goat she went,
and he was pleased to see her. When
she told him her troubles he said he
would be glad TO let her on his back and
save her, but his horns might hurt her,
too. Go to the ram; he has just the
kind of horns TO help you" The ram,
however, was afraid 10 help her, "be-
cause" said he, "hounds sometimes kill
sheep" He was extremely sorry, but
sent her to the calf. Her friend the calf
was delighted to help her, but, as so
many older ones could not defend her,
he thought he better not try il either.
BY this time the hounds were nearly
upon her, ahd, taking to her heels, she
luckily escaped.
Those who have many friends have
no friends.

Burning of Widows.

The abolition OF the horrid rite OF wild
ow burning in India was decreed by the
British authorities in 1929.
The dreadful practice was found there
by the Macedonians under Alexander the
Great 300 years before Christ, and for
more than twenty one long, weary GEN.
turieS did II repeat its almost inconceiv-
able torture and agony upon the women
Of India. The sacrifice, while not actu-
ally forced on the wife, was so strongly
insisted on by public opinion that it
amounted TO law, and its victims were
legion. Scores of widows were often
burned upon the funeral pile OF Single
raiah. In Bengal, the head center of the
monstroSity, thousands were sacrificed
annually, and the figure for all India was.
appalling.
The millions of widowed women were
completely at the mercy of the remorSe-
less superstition OF the times. The min
listers of Br hmaniSm told the widow that
her sacrifice was necessary as a means Of
her own happiness and that of her hus-
band in the future state, and oftener than
otherwise she finally consented TO be
burned along with the dead body of her
husband. Unless she did this she was
covered with the maledictionS and curses
of the people, was virtually outawed and
was unceremo7iouSIy cast outside the
pale of human sympathy and considera-
ton and had to spend the rest of her days
in degradation and wretchedneSs. ltwaS
