GO TO The LIMIT IN MOURNING
Death Of Prominent Parsonage In KAT
frland lie a Serious Matter for
Those Left Alive.

The body Of a Kaffr child is
washed before being buried, but 9TH
erwise the ceremony is Of the SIM
pleSt character, the father himself
digging the grave, while the mother,
and perhaps another relative or two,
looks on.
The burial of a chief, or of his
near relative is celebrated with
great pomp and is accompanied by
the slaughter of oxen and even Of
men. Very often a number of the
OeSt-looking young girls in the tribe
are buried alive in the grave with
the deceased magnate.
In the case Of Mnande, the
mother Of the despot King Tchake,
a guard of twelve thousand men
were stationed over the grave for a
whole year, and we're maintained by
the goodwill of the tribesmen. The
orgies on this occasion were hor-
rible; and so wild did the people
become that it was proposed thai
all who had been present at her flu.
neral should be slaughtered, ant
that the earth should be compelled
to join in the general mourning BY
being allowed to lie waste for {
whole year. All the children borr
within one year after her decease
and their parents as well, were exc
cuted.

WHERE IT WASN'T DUE

Ny most embarrassing moment
happened to me on the day l was
celebrating my twenty-ffth we'd
ding anniversary. My family and
friends had all been most kind in
remembering me.
As | returned from an errand my
neighbOr came out and handed me
a beautiful plant, making some re-
mark appropriate to the day. l
thanked her enthusiastically for the
gift.
She interrupted me as soon as she
could, politely saying: ooh, the
plant isn't from me. A florist de-
livered it to your house, but as he
could not get in l offered to take it
until you returned. -

THROWN UP BY VOLCANOES
Aiseilen lslands in the 5erin9 Sea
"Eofns as Result Of Great Con-
vulsions Of Nature.

The first Of the Bogoslof group of
the Aleutian islands was "born" 1875
years ago. There wal a great con-
galsion in the Boring sea, about
iwenty-fye miles north Of Unalaska.
and an island appeared above the
surface Of the stormy waters. This
islet, which rose to a height of
nearly three thousand feet above
sea level, was christened Bogoslof
BY the Russians, who then owned
Alaska. 1t remained solitary and
alone until 1882, when another vol
canic eruption in the sea was fol-
lowed BY the birth Of another island
near the first.
For two years the new island was
die scene Of an active eruption.
Then II cooled gradually, and, like
the first islet, became the home Of
seals and sea lions and the breeding
grounds for sea birds. The third of
the Bogoslof group was born sixteen
years ago. The "baby" was smaller
than its elder sisters, being about a
third Of a mile in diameter and with
an altitude Of some 600 feet, but the
following year another eonvulsion
Of nature resulted in nearly doubling
it's area. Since then several other
islands have been born in various
parts Of the Aleutian chain.-Chi-

NEW Works TELEPHONES

The number Of telephones in New
York city has passed the million
mark. There may still be some
question as to whether New York
or London is the largest city in the
world in point Of population, but
there can be no argument so far as
telephones are concerned, for New
York has nearly three times as
many as London.
