IN THE NAME OF RELIGloNl
Weird and Savage Rites Induloed In
BY the khlysta Sect Of
Russian Fsnstlcs

One OF the queer. religious sects Of
the world is the Christs or Khlysts OF
Hussin, They hold their meetings in
their churches with hundreds OF men.
women and children attending. After
prayers and hymns that last until
midnight they begin a wild dance amid
sobs and groans. After this con-
tinues for while they abandon their
garments and put on white robes and
white stockings. Candles are lighted,
and new dance begins that consists
OF rapidly revolving, the men to the
right, the women to the left.
In short time a sort Of madness
falls upon them. They leap, scream,
beat themselves and each other, in
dulge In wild laughter and cries, and
then begin to tear Off the garments
with shouts of at is coming, the Holy
Spirit is comingp They begin to 20
about on all fours, riding on one an
others backs, rolling about on the
hoor, biting and scratching one an
other, and at last go entirely insane
and dash about until they fall ex-
hausted. By dawn the church floor
Is covered with naked men, women
and children. unconscious and blood
stained.

BURIED WITH THEIR HUSBAND
Wives Of Members Of the Barau Trib,
Of the Congo Are Inferred With
the Corpse.

The Barua tribe In the Congo dis
trict OF Africa have a number Of
strange and horrible customs, but Of
them all their burial customs are the
most terrible. When man dies a
large grave is dug. The corpse and
his wives-these may be anywhere
from two to twenty-are escorted to
the hole with wild music and the in
terested attendance of the entire tribe.
The chief wife is thrust into the hole,
and the corpse is tken lowered. The
second wife follows. The dead mans
relatives then proceed to break the
arms and legs of the two wives so
they cannot get out of the hole. The
head Of the corpse is placed in the lap
OF the head wife, and the feet in the
lap Of the second wife.
The rest of the wives are then thrust
into the hole, their limbs broken, and
they are forced to sit in circle about
the corpse and its human supporters
The priest chants a few words, and
everyone falls to with rude shovels,
dishing earth into the hole. They new
CT stop until the grave is full and the
corpse and the living wives buried far
under the earth. The howls of the
wives with their broken limbs and fear
OF the terrible death are drowned by
the banging Of drums and the yells of
the delighted tribe.
