Chinese Art.

The applicability of Chinese art for
interior decoration of any period is

idea that anything Chinese is gaudy
is being gradually displaced. In the

BURIED WITH THEIR HUSBAND
Wives of Members Of the Barau Tribe
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 a man dies
large grave is dug. Thescorpse and
his wiyes-thess 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 then 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
err stop until the grave is full and the
corpse and the living wives buried far
under the earth. The bowls 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.

FARMER OWES MUCRTo MULE
Animal is Hard and Rugged Worker
and Almost Indispensable in
Many Localities.

The mule, like everybody else, has
| his place. He is considered a bad
actor. Fathers caution their sons
about going near any animal With long
ears and ropy tail. The sons know
what the animal will do because they
have been looking over the funny
paper" each Sunday and were de-
lighted in seeing the mule fold up and
let loose with kick that sent man
through the side Of a barn or over
the fence. But in spite of this I'M
desirable advertising the mule is with
US today on more farms than ever
before. He is hard and rugged
worker and is especially adapted to
the more billy farms of our agricul-
tural sections. Even through the
Middle West there are some counties
that have more mules than horses. In
1867, the mules of the United States
numbered $4,000, with an average
value of S66.94. In 1890 the number
was 2,321,000, valued at S7S.25. BY
1914 the number had increased 10
4123,000, with a value of $119.S4 per
head. on January l, 1920, the num-
Der was 4,995.O0O and the value per
head was STAT.
The mule has gained rapidly In
popularity, in manly localities taking
the place of the horse, and has also
prevented the introduction of the trac-
tor in many places. There are not a
few mule ranches over the United
States, the owners finding it a pay

CONDEMN TERM "FAIR SEX"
English Women Go on Record as OPP
posed to Phrase Belonging to
a Bygone Age"

1t has been officially declared in Eng
land that women, en- bloc, are neither
week" nor fair" At least the WOm-
ems Freedom league, under the lead
ership of Councillor Margaret Hodge,
has put ban on the terms "fair SEX
and weaker SEX" "Spinster" and
"mother-in-law" have also been put
on the feminine index. Further, it is
averred, once and for all time that:
Woman's judgment is as good as
mans.
Women talk less than men.
Women can keep a secret.
Zone irritating CUSTOM" said Miss
Hodge, comes from an age when to be
fair was woman's first and foremost
duty. The only women who counted
were for ornament rather than for use.
Women may be the weaker sex physi-
cally, but certainly not morally. The
name mother-in-law is still the stand
by of farces and comic literature. 1t
is an idea from some bygone age."-

Weather's Effect on Birds.

Cold and hunger in England has
driven armies of birds, even the Wild
est, into streets and gardens and I'M
wonted places. Great flOcks of green
plover, which are singularly shy as a.
rule, appeared in the stackyards and
paddocks of Hertfordshire villages. In
Buckinghamshire several thousand
rocks in flock was no rarity; and
old scouts came right up to the back
doors and competed for their food
with the poultry and the pigs. In Lon
don itrwas curious to see the pigeons
feeding busily on the ice, to the Obvi-
Gus irritation of the gulls, whose bills
are useless for securing fragments
from a hard surface. 1t was hard to
be defeated by a land bird in their
own element. Starlings showed even
greater ability in picking Up morsels
from the foes and even the water of
the river, a feat very foreign to their
nature. .,.. v....t '34,fs. IN, f7rtt7

CAT SCORED USUAL VICTORY
Japanese Legend Merely Another

There is an enchanting story told by

Japan of nine centuries past, of the
emperor's favorite cat herself q
spoiled beauty. She had received a
cap of honor and had been raised to
the third rank of nobility, with the

| cat of many graces. Unfortunately,
on day of diSobedience, her lady-in-
waiting summoned the emperor's dog,
Okinamaru, to startle her into good be-
,'havior. He barked obediently, and
the cat dashed madly behind the
screen, where his majesty sat at break.

The emperor. much shocked sent for

IN THE NAME OF RELIGION!
Weird and Savage Rites INDUCED In
by the khiysts, Sect of
Russian Fanatics.

One of the queer religious sects or
the world is the Christs or Khlysts of
Russia. 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 a 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 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 comingw They begin to go
about on all tours, riding on one an
others backs, rolling about on the
floor, 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.

CHOSE POOR PLACE TO REST
Traveller in Spain Not Fully Aware as

An American tells of visit he once

northwestern corner of Spain. He

circumstances, after ride on mule
back over miles of dusty road. While
the hostess of the inn vas preparing
his dinner he proposed to himself to
rest upon the bed in the public room.
Nothing could, he says, have been
more tempting than that cool white
bed, after his laborious trip, and with
out saying a word to the Sonora Pa
reno, he threw himself at full length
upon it.
Scarcely had he done so when a
shrek arose, and the little woman
flew at him like a wild creature. She
seized him and dragged him off the
bed with the strength of two men.
He was too much dazed to resist, but
retreated before her.

 Annlston, September 17.--tSp ecial.) Mrs. Nathan E.

 It is most fitting that Mrs. Ory should foster this cause in Annston, Rs she was one of the citys most valuableI aids in assisting with the entertainment of the soldiers of Camp Mcclellan and planning for their welfare and the betterment of conditions surrounding the camp during the World war. Tn fact, Mrs. Ory was the first Anniston hostess to keep open house for the soldiers on their holidays in the city, and so great was her hospitality and her kindness to the men, she quickly became the best-known and the most popular matron in the city, being af- fectionately called the little mother of Camp Mcclellan" Thousands of men were entertained at her home, and remember her most pleasantly. Many of them have renewed heir HcqudlHtdHce Witn ner SlnCe Fnelr return from Europe, and have writ ten of their gratitude for kindness shown them while in the Anniston camp.
