A Vast Desert SepuIcher.

There is an extraordinary necrop-
oils at Bahrein, the famous center
of the Persian gulf pearl fisheries.
The tombs stretch for miles into
the interior of Bahrein. The or
igin of the metropolis is to a great
extent mystery, but primitive civil
lization probably first began in this
region, and possibly this desert sep
uleher is the Oldest piece Of mans
in the world. Some of
the mounds are fifty feet high; the
remainder vary from thirty to
twenty feet. There are usually two
chambers to each mound, an upper
and a lower. 1t is believed that the
mounds were originally higher, and
palms were growing on the tops of
some Of them in the time Of Alex
ander the Great, but the palms
have long since disappeared, and in
the course Of ages the SUBMITS
have been worn smooth.

Taxed the Bachelors.

A tax on bachelors was imposed
in England in 1895, and it continued
in operation till 1T06. William H.
wanted money to carry on the war
with France, and this was an easy
task of raising it. Every bachelor
of twenty-five and every childless
widower of five years standing had
to pay a minimum tax of shilling
a year for five years, rising accord
ing to the social standing of the
taxpayer. Moreover, tax was lev
led in the case of all births, mar
riages and burials, this also gradu
ated according to rank. Toward
the end Of the eighteenth century
unmarried men over twenty-one
who had servants had to pay extra
taxation and later on to contribute
a greater proportion of the income
tax.

FUNERALS IN BRAZIL.
Thsy Are Rathsr Joyous Events Witt
q Holiday Flavor.

tnSJ tNTC SDyOdS ENCHho w nv
Holiday Flavor.
Ona of the questions asked by the
Brazilian housekecpcr in engaging
a new servant is whether she be-
lorgs to funeral association.
These associations are organized
chiefly among poor people. Any
one may join; membership is Sc
cured by the payment of small an
nual fee. There are no constitu-
tionS or bylaws, and there is only
one obligation-eyery member must
attend every funeral of a fellow
member. AS the associations have
thousands of members deaths occur
often, and so Brazilian housekeep
crs arc often left without servants.
1t might seem burdensome to
have to 90 to so many funerals, but
this is not the case. 4 funeral in
Brazil is a happy occasion for near
ly all its participants. They get a
day off, and a holiday is always well
coined by the Brazilians; then they
meet their friends and can gossip
and firt, and, still better, whisky
and a free dinner are served to the
mournerS.
They constitute one of the
strange sights of Rio de Janciro,
these funeral professions. Rain or
shine, long professions of laughing
and chatting people go through the
streets. Large umbrellas shield
them from the tropical sun, and
their gay colored dresses shine out
brightly underneath.
Neither the appearance of the
mourners nor the tinny music Of
the band heading the procession
suggests a funeral. The musicians
play everything, waltzes, marches,
light opera, but never a dirge. Not
infrequently the mourners stop at
a fruit stand or a bar for refresh
ment. Only the presence of hearse
distinguishes these funeral process
sions from a joyful parade. The
stranger who sees the large process
sion is filled with surprise. His
surprise increases when he learns
that the dead man is only a poor
negro coachman.
''But surely" he says, "he must
have been a wonderful man to have
so many friends come mourn him"
"Ah, no." he is informed. "But
he spent all his money and savings
to join this, the best funeral asso-
citation. And I'm sure his soul at
this minute smiles down at seeing
so large and brilliant procession
in his New York Sun.

A QUEER COURT TRIAL.
Dealing Out Justice 70 a chimpanzee
In Wcst Africa

DG0iin3 SAI SISSiSG ~ a GniNpdbESO
In West Africa.
The following strange incident is
related by Captain Geor1o A.
Briggs and occurred during his stay
on the west coast of Africa about
ten ycarsago. A chimpanzec named
John who was owned by a high Off
cial one day broke from hi, chain
and, stroIling unconcernedIy down
the main thoroughfare, scattered
the crowds before him. A native
woman who was vending dainties
dropped her tray and, even forget
ting her small child, fled with the
crowd.
The chimpanzee soon spled the
tray of daintles and devourcd them
in most convincing manncr The
child. seeing all the sweets dlsap-
pear, attacked the chimpanzee by
the tail. but a bite from the brute
sent the child yelling at the top of
his hung power.
This 50 infuriated the natives
that they made a combined attack
on John, and his lease of life would
have been cut short had not his
owner appeared. He faced the
crowd and assured them that every
man would be rendered his due.
For a similar olfense, he inquired,
whether man would not have to
stand his trial in court.
"Gah, YAH" was the shout.
"Thcn," said Johns owner, "let
the woman appear in court tomor-
row with the child and all the wit
ncsscs, and | promise you john will
be there like a man to stand trial
and take whatever punishment may
be doled out to him."
The next morning the court was
crowded when John appeared,
chained and carried by several po-
IlcCmen. lie was placed IN the dock,
and the charge of larceny and as
sault was read to him.
His master turned to him and,
asking him if he had any defense
to offer, was answered by the usual
grunts of delight that John IN
dulged in whenever his master
greeted him.
The master then informed the
judge that John had pleaded guilty
and had no defense to offer. The
Judge, after due deliberation, sem
fenced the brute to three months,
and he was led away to prison,
where he served his sentence.-New
York Herald.

Saved by a Joke.

Students of Edinburgh university
who could not spell fell on evil days
when Professor Trail, editor of a
former edition of the Encyclopae-
dia Britannica, was an examiner.
According to Professor Knights
"Recollections," Professor Trail
one day objected to a candidate for
graduation, who was native of
Ceylon, on the ground of false
spelling.
"Why, he actually spelled exceed
with one 'el'" said he.
@Well," instantly replied Pro-
fessor Henderson, who filed the
chair of pathology in the uniyer-
sity, "you should remember that he
comes from the land OF the Singal-
ese."

A Strenuous Welcome.

The Kurds have a very curious
and somewhat dangerous marriage
custom, which most people viii
think would be more honored in the
breach than in the observance. The
husband, surrounded by a body
guard of twenty or thirty young
men, carries his wife home on his
back in a scarlet cloth and is des-
perately assaulted the whole way by
a number of girls. Sticks and
stones are hurled at the BRIDE
groom, who in the coming home
with his bride can scarcely be con-
sidcred very happy man, for the
irate amazons often inflict on him
marks which he carries to his grave.

Reuben Thomas Morton, whose death
