Queer Funeral Customs.

1t would be difficult to find stranger
funeral customs than those practiced
by the Andaman islanders. The ma
tives actually drop the bodies of their
parents into the sea at the end of
ropes and leave them there until moth.
ing remains but the bones, which they
gather and hang from the roofs of
their huts.
1t is common custom for a man to
sit by the house and watch the bones
Of some relative. This is the way they
have of showing their love and re-
spect.
The bodies are treated in this fash
ion so that the evil spirits cannot
tease and pinch them. All that is
left are the dried bones, and these
are placed high so that if the evil
spirits wander into the huts they will
have hard time to find them. If a
bone is carried away it means some
bad spirit has seized it, and this indi.
Gates that some terrible calamity will
befall the family.

Keeping Him Waiting.

She is a most irritating specimen
Of humanity. Even the best of men
lose their temper when, time after
time, they are kept waiting by their
sWeethearts. Twenty minutes, half
an hour, and even more, have they to
wait patiently till her ladyship ap-
pears with just a slight apology for
having been so long getting ready.
But, really, the time flew SOL She
had no idea it was SO late, and it took
her so long getting on her new hat.
Somehow she couldn't arrange her
8curls to suit it!
The patience of man in this respect
is most marvellous, and he does not
get a quarter of the praise he de-
serves. And what girl would wait pa
tiently for her lover, even five min
utes, without preparing a good scold
ing for him for daring to keep her
waiting? And should he, as the rea-
son for his hardness, blame business,
why, should exclaim as if he had ac-
knowledged to a most dreadful faut!

Cost of Typhoid,

1t is hard to state human lives in
terms of dollars and cents, but prob.
ably Dr. Mclaughlin did not exagger.
ate in telling the Association of Life
Insurance presidents in New York that
typhoid is costing the United States
S100000,000 year. Incidentally il
kills $4,000 people, or as many as a
considerable war, and to life insurance
men that is not a merely sentimental
argument. That the greater part of
tbs loss is avoidable appears from
file fact that in so of our largest cities
tie death rate per 100000 from ty-
mold is %, while in 33. of the principal
Giles of northern Europe it is but 61h.
Tat means that some $4,000 of the
$4,000 who die every year from ty-
Mold fever in the United States might
Dr,bably be saved by better sanitation.
Tlis is a reform upon which effort
should be strongly concentrated.

SAYS NEY WAS A GERMAN
English Writer Makes interesting As
sertion About Most Prominent
French Marshal.

A recent English book about Mar
shall Ney, Napoleon's herioc lieuten-
ant, "the bravest of the brave" brings
out some interesting facts.
This Frenchman was really a Ger.
man. He was born at Saariouis. now
in Prussia, and then and always Ger
man. He spoke only German as a
child. He was red-haired, with a
wide face, and round blue eyes. Five
feet eight inches in height, he had
a short body and long legs. His com.
rades called him 'le rougeot," which
was equivalent to carrots or "brick
top" He was forty-six years old at
Waterloo. So was Napoleon. So was
Wellington.
Michel Ney was a man who was
trained up to the hardships of a work
mans life. His father was a cooper,
and in his boyhood work in his ia.
theirs business he was accustomed to
toll and exposure. This enabled him
to sleep placidly in the snow on the
return from Moscow, wrapped in his
cloak, with the starved, ragged sol.
diers of the grand army keeping
guard, and the Cossacks proving
around in the darkness"
