WORSE THAN WAR.
Internal Regions Of tho Buddhists and
Mohammedans.

The internal regions Of Buddhism
are horrible. They comprise great
hell and 1856 lesser bells. In these
hells. according TO the sculptures of
the Buddhist temples. men are ground
to powder and their dust turned into
ants and aeas and spiders. They are
pestled in n mortar. The hungry eat
redhot iron balls. The thirsty drink
molten iron.
lslamism says Of the Internal re-
rions: They who believe not shall
have garments of fire fitted for them.
Boiling water shall be poured on their
heads and on their skins. and they
shall be beaten with maces OF iron"
In the Scandinavian mythology, the
mythology OF Odin and Thor. we are
told that ''in Nas;rond there is a vast
and dircful structure. with doors that
face the north. 1t Is formed entirely
Of the backs Of serpents, waited to-
gether like wickerwork. But tire SER
penis heads are turned toward the in
side OF the hall. and they continually
send forth floods Of venom. in which
wade all those who commit murder or
forswear themselves"

4 TARCOOLER FUNERAL.
Wood Was Scare. but They Managed
to Rio Up q Coffin.

In some OF the mining districts Of
South Australia there is Il great scar
city Of wood. Consequently. II you are
so foolish as to die there you must not
expect to have a coffin. but must be
content to be wrapped in sack before
being deposited in Mother Earth.
However. when a certain very prom
inent resident of a mining camp died
the other people Of the settlement-by
the way. 1t was called Tarcooler.
though GOODNESS was unknown and
Tarhotter would have been more
suitable name-determined that he
should be buried in style. So they set
about getting coffin They made one
Of a sort placed lid on it and laid it
tent for the night.
Next morning the lid Of the coffin
was missing. 1t was afterward found
that 1t had been stolen to make the
tailboard of butchers cart.
However. in spite OF this trifling loss
the funeral was conducted with great
solemnity. The coffin WAS much adj
mired. 1t had been made out Of the
boxes in which the dynamite was sent
to the mines. Some people might have
considered that the obseGuies were
marred by the fact that the coffin bore
in large letters on one side the legend
Keep dry" and on the other STOW

trouble the simple minds Of the Tar

There were three characters in the

buzzed on the pane; otherwise silence

This was broken by one Of the Scots
