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 that thenceforward cof-
fins 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 rrsorting 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 upon 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, 1t was de.
cided that the coffin should be closed
and the custom abolished.

On June % the Austro-Hungarian
Empire received another of those
profound shocks which have been
part of it's fate for some scores of
years, and it's aged ruler was, once
more, called upon to display that
fortitude which, shown throughout
an almost unexampled series of cal
antilles, has won for him the admira-
ton of all Europe. But personal
grief is probably superseded by anx-
ious concern for the great public in
terests so seriously affected.
Perhaps one of the most dismay-
ing features of the calamity lies in
the thought that so many years of
training for the most difficult ruler
ship in Europe would seem to have
been wasted, and that there must
succeed to 1t, within short time, as
yet inexperienced youth. The per-
sonal power of the emperor is g
prominent point in the government
of the empire, and his personal po-
sitior may truly be said to be one
consolidating force.
What the Hungarian Em-
pire Is.
In order to realize this it is nee
essary to reflect for an instant on
what the Austro-Hungarian Empire
is. It's population may be divided
under five generic heads: German,
Magyar (Hurgarian). Slav, Rnmar-
ian and Italian-tne last being the
least numerous.
Ali these five nationalities are at
variance amongst themselves; at
least there is no bond of union. no
community of desire and purpose be-
tween any two of them, while some
are in state of bitter war with 9th
ers of them. Again, some of them
are subdividcd into different branch
es of the same family, that is, into
races coming originally from the
same stock but separate for many
centuries. A glance at the census of
1900 shows the total population to
be divided according to language. as
follows. The countries under the
Imperial Austrian Government and
those under the Royal Hungarian
Government are calculated separate
