Orel Ting; IIo-S)ihij I>li»<l Bitting; l'|) nnil V> a i Tut Into HU Collin unil Hurled Tlit.t May — I’lllow* Under Each Elbe W It is an exceedingly rare thing for a foreigner to be permitted to witness the death of a Buddhist priest, and it was only after a residence of nearly twelve years in China that the oppor tunity came to me, says a writer in Leslie’s Weekly. Old Ting Ho-Sheng. head priest of the “Temple of the Spirit of Light,’’ I had known by sight fjr several years, and had a more intimate acquaintance with him the summer he died, but I did not expect to be a wit ness of his death nor to see him die sitting up. Not only did “Old Ting" die sitting up, but he was put into his coffin and buried that way. Disease and native treatment had already placed the seal of death upon the old man, so that at my second visit I could only tell the attendants that his horns were few. Returning to the old priest’s rooms a little later, 1 found him sitting on a broad stool facing the outer door, clad in his fine priestly robes of yellow silk. Being long past consciousness, he was supported by his attendants in this position, with his l(gs crossed, each foot resting upon the opposite thigh, sole directed upward—an ex ceedingly difficult, and, in fact, almost impossible position to assume In life. The hands were placed, palms together, up before his face, the whole attitude being that which represents Buddha in the state of Nirvana—and the old man was very near that state. Thi great anxiety of those in attendance was that he should not be placed In his coffin until ho was real.y dead. A1 though I could not bring him back to life, they were willing that I should Judge when he was dead. Holding a small mirror in front of his face, I waited until there was no more mois ture deposited upon it. In the mean time preparations were continually going on around mo for further c re monies. A large pile of paper “cash" had been placed outside the door, on top of which was a document I was not allowed to see, but, from what I could learn, was his history as related to his accession to the priesthood and life in it. Upon being pronounced dea 1 a flaming torch was applied to the “cash” by a young priest, former disci pie and now successor to the lands and buildings of the old man sitting before him. No sooner was the pap r well ablaze than the young man pros trated himself before it, bumping hi head on the ground the requisite num ber of times, for every movement in every ceremony of the Chinese is reg ulated by rites as inflexible as law. The next step in this strange death scene was the placing of the body in its up right coflin. The front and top were removed and yellow silk cusions pi t in the bottom, on which the old man wa placed as gently as possible consistent with the awkwardness of his position. Numerous small cushions and wads of thin paper were put in around him, a pillow under each elbow to sustain the arms in their upright position, and then the front was slid into place. More packing was done from the top until his body was immovable and the coflin filled, the yellow silk knot of his hat being the last I ever saw cf old Ting Ho-Sheng, who will sit and wait until time and decay do their work in alter ing his position. A Treacher's Predicament, A few weeks ago a noted minister went to one of the local railroad sta tions to meet a friend, says a Cleve land paper. I'pon entering the station and looking around he saw an elegant ly dressed woman, who apparently was about to hoard a train. She was carrying a number of par cels in her arms, and besides had with her three of four children that with great difficulty she was trying to help along. The clergyman approached the lady and offered his assistance, which she accepted, afterward thanking him very graciously for the kindness. The train moved out of sight, and he went on his way thinking of the endless op portunities one has for doing good, when all at once he discovered that he was carrying a beautiful silk umbrel la with pearl and gold trimmings. The reverend gentleman "is now enduring distress of mind, fearful that the vic tim of his absent-mindedness may some day discover him in the pulpit. Bobby Burn*' Cottage Considerable alterations are in course of being carried out at the birthplace of Robert Burns, known as “Burns' Cottage," at Alloway, Scotland. It is intended to remove a hall attached to the back of the cottage, used as a mu seum and temperance refreshment room, and to transfer the Burns relics from this to a new and larger hall in a range of cottage buildings which have just been completed within the grounds attached to the cottage. The caretaker and his family, who inhabit part of the cottage, have also been pro vided with accommodations in the new buildings. The cottage will thus be restored as far as possible to Its orig inal condition. Cruelty In electrocutions. Electrocution has been violently at tacked by the Electrical Review on the ground of cruelty. The Review holds that shooting, garroting, hanging, the guillotine, harikarl and beheading by the sword, aie all humane compared with the mutilations and sickening preparations for an electrical execu tion. , - - - . IOWA GOVERNORS, Compelled to I'rtTldt Tlielr Own IIouf-K XV tills nt the Ciipltul. Iowa governors have followed va rious plans in providing themselves with homes in lies Moines during their official terms. Gov. Larrabee occu pied a frame house near the state house, says the Sioux City Journal. It was not very large and rented for about $50 a month, the sum which the state allows to the governor for house rent. Gov. Boies lived at the Savory house, occupying a small room when he was in town, and when ho went out of town over night he gave up the room the same as any other transient. He never entertained. Gov. Jackson, tvho lives in a comfortable but modest home in this city, met the demands of his position socially in a very pleas ing manner, having the assistance of a wife who was very capable and suc cessful in discharging the duties of the governor’s wife. Gov. Drake lived at the Savory House, where he occupied a parlor and entertained to some ex tent. Gov. Shaw has filled the posi tion socially, as well as in other re spects, to the complete satisfaction of all demands. He succeeded when he came here in renting a good furnished house from a family that was going to spend a year in Europe. During the last legislative session Governor and Mrs. Shaw occupied the Pratt hon e on Grand avenue. Since then they have lived in the Victoria, the new Hubbell apartment house. Governor and Mrs. Shaw have entertained lib erally and have taken more part in the society of Des Moines than any pre vious governor except Gov. Jackson. All these experiences prove conclu sively that no man can afford to be governor of Iowa unless he is wealthy and has an Independent income. Gov. Shaw would probably not like to tel! how much it cost him to maintain the governor’s office. He urged that the salary be Increased for the sake of his successors, because it is wholly Inade quate to meet the most unavoidable demands upon the man who would maintain the dignity of the position. Gov. Jackson declined a second term because he found that he positively could not afford to retain the office any longer. diet for health. Eating Such Food us the Family Doctor l'rescribc*. Most people who are not in good health know in n genera] way what ails them; some of them know' what kind of food they ought to eat in ordTi to overcome their bodily infirmities and prevent a recurrence of than. Bit people who have good health u-inlly consider only their taste or their pock etbook when they order a meal. Ar. experiment whten one of the Boston hotels is making shows that o he s be :,ide invalids are beginning to under stand that it is important to have the right sort of food as well as to have it propelly cooked. The cafe of this hotel provides not only a bill of fare but a diet list mado out by a physician and intended as a guide to the patrons of the house. It presi rib s the food best suited to various physical condi tions. To the fat man it ofTers a va riety of dishes that tickle his palate, and at the same time check his ten dency to grow fatter. The thin and anaemic can procure the things which make blood arid tissue and build up an enfeebled system. The new way oi looking at tire food question puts health first and preference afterward. It considers the needs of the individ ual, and makes practical application of the old saying that "one man’s meat is another man's poison.” It tries to make tiie <iIt t like a well-s‘o.ke 1 ward robe, offering plenty of variety, ye. designed for and fitted to the parson for whom it is intended. Lilac is a charming color, but the red-haired girl doe3 not need it to enhance her pecul iar charms. Sirloin steak is a tooth some and desirable thing, but melons and coarse bread may be better for the full-blooded man who has a tendency to rheumatism. How one can fit his diet to his own needs is a matter which the physician can best decide. It is certainly easier to preserve health tiy the use of proper foed than to regain it by taking medicine: and the pre scription filled in a restaurant is pleas anter to take than one compounded by the druggist.—Youth's Companion. A Tlnshop on a Bicycle* A tlnshop in a wagon has been a common sight on country roads for years. It seemed as if there was no limit to the amount of tinware the ped dler could store into the many open ings and “cupboards” in the great boatlike vehicle. But the bicycle may take the place of the old tinshop wag on. By means of it, thanks to modern invention, the peddler can now travel much more quickly and at the same time have his wares on exhibition. The new vehicle, however, in point of steadiness, is perhaps better adapted to city use than to the country. Extend ing beyond the handlebars of the bi cycle in front and behind the saddle, in the back, is a rod to each end of which is fastened a skeleton cone of wires. Ail up and down the wires are numerous hooks, to which the various cooking utensils are hung. The whole thing is but another contrivance to gain trade, for, of course, many per sons will buy that which is brought to them, who hesitate to seek it for them selves. Minnesota's Tall Man. Minnesota claims to have the tallest man in Louis Wilkins, born on a farm near St.-Paul, who is now twenty-six years old, weighs 364 pounds and lacks less than one inch of being nin§ feet high. - --—J Like a terrible cyclone grip bacillus has passed over our coun try, from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, leaving behind It a dark cloud of anguish and despair. Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims will spring up in the trail of the awful epi demic of grip that has Just pas. ed over our fair country. The hope to these people Is Peruna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fail to tako a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the disease and leaves the system iu a normal condition. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congress man from Illinois, writes from the Na tional Hotel, Washington, D. C., as follows: “After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with coughs, colds, la grippe and all catarrhal com plaints."—J. B. Crowley. Hon. George H. White, Congressman from North Carolina, writes: "I am more than satisfied with Pe runa, and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and catarrh. I have used it in my family, and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent remedy.” George H. White. Hon. J. P. Mfgrew, Superintendent U. S. Capital Police Force, of Wash ington, D. C., says: "Having suffered from the grip, I was advised by a friend to use your Peruna. I also used it for my catarrh, and I can now cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone who is suffer ing from the grip and catarrh.”—J. P. Megrew, Miss Anna Russell, "Past Worthy Counselor, I^oyal Mystic Legion, 293 Endicott Bldg., St. Paul, Minn., writes: “For years I have unfortunately found my system in a peculiarly recep tive condition for catarrh when 1 was exposed in any way to inclement weather. • At those times I would he severely afflicted with la grippe und Its unpleasant consequences. "Now for the past year and a half I have used Peruna in such cases and hate found that it not only cures me quickly, but it ulso cleanses my blood and renders mo less liable to catrh cold. It is the finest preventative of colds that 1 know of and a very su perior tonic.”—Anna Russell. 1 Miss Alice Dressier, 1313 North Brjr. ant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes: “Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured, but the bad after-effects remained through tho summer, and somehow I did not get strong as I was before. In the fall 1 caught a cold after getting my feet wet ami attending a lecture in a cold hall, and I suffered a relapse. An un pleasant catarrh of the head and throat followed, and as I was In » weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break m« down completely. “Ono of my college friends who wae visiting me, asked me to try Peruna, and i did so and found it all and more than l had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restor. d me to perfect health, built up the entire sys tem, and brought a happy feeling of buoyancy which I had not known for years.” Miss Alice Drossier.
