WIDOW TAKES own LIFE

Custom of Suicide After Husband
Death Has Not Entirely Disappeared
in India.
Calcutta, Feb. 23.--The case OF Sat
ii, reported from a village in Etawah
district indicates that the ancient Hin
du custom of widow suicide has not
yet entirely disappeared.
SAITH is the name given to Hindu
widow who, to avoid the social stigma
of widowhood, throws herself upon
the funeral pile of her husband and
died by the fire which consumed his
remains. A British law making the
abettor of SAITH liable to conviction
for allotment OF suicide or murder
has tended to cause the rite to die
out. but it is still practiced occasion
ally in some parts of India.
