CHASTITY Custom.

The medical profession has succeed
ed in doing away with a revolving
custom that has prevailed in Constan-
tinople for almost a century. In 1927
the authorities discovered that the
Greeks were in the habit of smuggling
in large quantities of arms ard am
munition in closed collins. They there
fore ordered hat thenceforward cot
fms containing the corpses of Greeks
should be borne lidless through the
streets and only sealed after entering
the cemetery. Since that time the
Greeks have attempted by painting
the faces of the dead and resorting to
other crude devices, to render the
procedure less CHASTITY. They have
also agitated, from time to time, for
the abolition of the custom, but made
no impression rpon the Ottoman gov
eminent until the local doctors came
to their aid. The recent funeral of
Constantin v, patriarch OF the Greek
church, furnished a test case. After
an acrimonious debate, it was de.
cided that the coffin should be closed
and the custom abolished.

What are they made of" asked
the young bear.
THE bow is made of wood" the
old bear said, land the string is made
from the skin Of some animal"
So. they all started out to make
some bows and arrows. One bear got
a stout piece of locust wood and bent
it in the shape of a bow. Another
bear let his friends cut a hole in his
side and take out a piece of his inner
skin to make the string. And when
the bow was all ready some arrows
were cut and trimmed and pointed and
hardened.
Now let me try the first shot" said
the young bear, for he had never seen
a bow and he was very curious about
it. So, one of the bears set up a mark
against a tree and the young bear put
an arrow against the string and drew
back. But when he tried to let go, his
long claws caught and held to the
string and spoiled the shot
THAT will never dot" said the old
bear.
Cut Oh Tue young DEAR . CidNs, duu
then he will be able to hit the mark
said mamma bear, who had left her
cooking fire to watch the trial. They
all thought that was a good idea. and
after the young bear had his claws
clipped, sure enough he hit the mark.
They were about the clip of the
claws of another one Of the bears
when the Oldest and wisest bear said:
I'VE must not clip OF our claws!
If we do. how shall we ever climb trees
i for the nuts and the blackhaw berries
we eat? We shall starve. and that
would be worse than it is now. AL
ready one of us has died to give up
his skin for a bow string. and that is
enough"
So the bears had to give up the
bow and arrow; and because they once
planned to make war on man. the
bear hunter does not have to beg the
bear to forgive him when he kills one
of them.

High kicking is good exercise be-

much or little you need exercise for
the thighs, try the dip movement.
