How a Coal Fire Protect. It.eIf.

A curious way in which fire in the
heart Of coal pile keeps itself from
being put out is noted in a mining
journal. Such fires often start in the
interior Of large piles of coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation.
which is prevented by the size of the
pile from escaping into the air. Such
fires are difficult to put out owing to
the fact that the burning mass turns
the coal around it into coke. which Is
nearly impervious to water. The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched with
out putting out the fire. which it never
really reaches. The only way to deal
with the situation is to drive into the
pile sharpened iron pipe long enough
to reach the burning coal and then to
couple hose to the upper end and
turn on the water.

: cHoPsTlcks IN JAPAN.
How They Are Used and How They
Are Served In Public Places.

Are Served In Public Places.
The use Of chopsticks is general in
Japan, except among the richer class
es, who have adopted European knives
and forks. and, to some extent, the
European cuisine. Small bowls of chi.
ma or lacquered wood are the usual
table equipment. After the various
solid portions of the food have been
lifted to the mouth with chopsticks the
liquid remaining is slipped from the
bowl.
In the case Of rice. which would be
tedious to pick up grain by grain. the
bowl is often raised to the mouth and
the rice shoveled or pushed in with the
chopsticks. 1t is also customary to
pour little ten into the rice bowl aft
er 1t has been nearly emptied. and in
this way the few remaining grains of
rice are washed down us the tea is
drunk.
At public places the chopsticks at
each meal must be new. This is indi-
Gated by the fact that the chopsticks
are made from one piece of wood and
are left Joined together, as were
matches at one time in the United
States. These new chopsticks are in
cased in a thin paper envelope, sealed
at the end, and bearing Japanese char
acters advertising either the hotel or
some firm that has furnished them free
to the proprietor for the sake Of the
publicity thus gained. Toothpicks,
which are freely used by all japanese
at meals, are also inclosed in envelopes
that frequently bear advertising mat

1t is told of one of the ancient kings
Of Egypt that his coronation process
sion occupied whole day in passing
through the city of Alexandria and
that 5000 crowns Of gold were carried
by the servants. One crown was three
feet in height and twenty-four feet I'm

OF golden armor. two boots of gold,
four and half feet in length; twelve
golden basins. ten large vases Of per-

fifty dishes and large number Of ia

$500 crowns were valued ut 1884 400.

EAST INDIAN IDOLS.
Some rhat Ars Guarded and salutsd

Some rhat Are Guarded and salutsd
BY British Troops.
In India British guard Of honor
presents arms to q stone tiger every
day. The tiger is regarded by the ma.
dyes as god who drives away all
danger and calamity. and once some
soldiers. in a spirit Of mischief. over
threw the image from its resting place
and sent 1t rolling into the valley be-
low.
So shocked and scandalized were the
natives that revolt seemed imminent,
and Lord Combermere quieted the out
ragged natives by restoring the image
to its pedestal and ordering the regi-
ment to salute it in full view of all.
Since that time a British troop has
kept watch over the tiger idol day BY
day.
Another Indian idol which is watch.
ed over by the British is the god
whose name is kiak Kiak, equivalent
to "Lord Of Lords" which is supposed
to be asleep for 5000 years and whose
awakening will be the end of all
things.
Hence the natives of the city Of
Pegu. in Burma, are terribly afraid
that some one will arouse the god, so
the British government, to avert trou-
BILE, stationed a sentry there to prevent
this catastrophe.
Once year strange custom is OBJ
served in Cairo. A piece of carpet on
which. according to tradition, Ma
homet once sat and which is the most
famous sacred relic of Islam, is car
ried through the streets, and the khe-
dive and his troops all receive it in re-
view order and salute it as they pass.
The relic Is guarded most carefully
at ordinary times, and the officer in
charge Of It each morning must sa-
lutte It with his sword raised, while

A Custom Forced by Native Fsuds In
the Melanesian islands.
In the Melanesian islands the natives
carry on feuds with a more relentless
hatred even than the vendettistes Of
Corsica. In these islands Christianity
has been made. at least in outward
aspect, the religion Of the people.
That 1t really does mean something
to the Melanesian is evidenced by the
reply received from an intelligent old
chief when l asked him why he did not
become Christian.
I'm to be-" he said. when kill the
devil who kill my boy five years ago."
So relentlessly are these feuds car
ried on that it is the custom for ma.
tive Of wealth with grievance against
another, but who finds it impossible or
tnexpedient to kill his enemy and sc.
cure his head himself, to hire q profes.
sional murderer and pay him upon the
delivery Of the head.
Often in the years that are Just gone
tndiscriminate killing went on with
such savage persistence that even dur
ing church service pot shots" were
taken at marked worshipers through
the doors and windows.
The situation became so acute In one
village that the government was petit
toned, and the response was the loan
to the missionary Of a rifle.
The missionary took the hint and
armed one Of his natives who stood
guard outside the church during serv-
ices.
And SO it became the fashion on many
Of the islands to add sentry to the
church rolls.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cemeteries Where Women co,.iD.

Friday, the Sabbath of the Moslems,
when all true believers of the mascu-
line gender make point of going to
church, their wives. sisters and daush-
ters resort to the cemeteries and wall
for the dead. But all their time is not
spent in weeping. and sorrow is not the
only emotion they display OH these &C.
casions. They take with them punches
and garlands of flowers and decorate
the graves of their relatives and pray
and weep over the dead for a time.
Then when this pious duty is perform
ed they gather in little groups and have
good time gOssiping about the living.
Thus the day Of mourning is very popu-
lar among the Moslem women. It gives
them almost the only opportunity they
have Of cultivating the acquaintance Of
their neighbors.
