BURIALS IN CUBA
Customs That Ilcmiml One of the
Iiirsee of Bombay
Burial customs in Cuba are almost
as strange as the Parsee customs and
their towers of silence in Bombay It
seems that the reopening of graves in
Cuba is the result of a long established
custom of burying as many bodies as
possible in a single grave The ceme
tery routine is like this
First some one usually the head of
a family buys a plot lie at once sets
to work digging his own grave and
graves for all the members of his fam
ily lie digs several graves six feet
long for adults and one grave four feet
long to provide for the possible death
of a child When the entire area of the
plot is thus in open graves the digger
turns mason and plasterer lie ce
ments each grave bottom and sides
Then he fills in the cemented graves
with soil and goes home with the satis
factory thought that he may look upon
his owu grave during his lifetime and
that it is ready for him at any time he
is ready for it
But the weirdest part of this custom
is yet to be told In the middle of the
plot a square grave is dug a hole
about six feet each way This square
hole is cemented like the graves and
filled in with soil It should be explan
ed here that the bodies in the graves
are covered with quicklime When the
flesh has disappeared and only the
bones are left the bones are taken out
of the grave and thrown into tho
square hole in tha center of the plot
Thus t graves are used over and
over agalL until the square hole in the
axjacaij i jjiiijiiui jvimiiwzagT
centerIs filled with fiie bones of the
members of this or that family Then
the hole is sealed over and that par
ticular family plot Is abandoned and a
new one purchased London Tit Bits
BE A BUSINESS MAN
Bo Xot Ignore tlie Money Side of
Your Vocation
Io matter what your vocation may
be you must be a business man first
or you will always be placed at a great
disadvantage in the practical affairs of
life We cannot entirely ignore the
money hide of existence any more than
we can the food side and the very
foundation of a practical successful
life is the ability to know how to man
age the money side effectively
It is infinitely harder to save money
and to invest it wisely than to make
it and if even the most practical men
men who have had a long training in
scientific business methods find it a
difficult thing to hold on to money aft
er they make it what is likely to hap
pen to people who have had practically
no training in business methods
If every child in America had a
thorough business training tens of thou
sands of promoters long headed cun
ning schemers who have thrived on
the peoples ignorance would be out of
an occupation
I believe that the business colleges
are among the greatest blessings in
American civilisation today because
they have saved thousands of homes
from being wrecked and have made
happy and comfortable tens of thou
sands of people who might otherwise
be living in poverty and wretchedness

Why Eyes Get Red
The eyeball contains a high percent
age of blood and why therefore is it
white V The answer is that the blood
vessels which supply its surface are
so exceedingly minute that usually
they do not admit the little red corpus
cles to which the ordinary red appear
ance of the blood is due Blood wl hout
these corpuscles is colorless or at
most of the faintest yellow tint Uvt
occasionally when the eye is irritated
or when there is any slight or consid
erable derangement of the system cer
tain of the little vessels enlarge suffi
ciently to allow the corpuscles to en
ter thereby producing the well known
red streaks or inflamed appearance of
the eyeball

A pretty table observance in Danish
families is for children even little ones
who can scarcely toddle to go gravely

the same formality In German fami

Extravagant Shoes
During the reigns of William Rufus
Henry I and Stephen all sorts of ex
travagant shoes were worn The toes
were sometimes long and pointed and
sometimes made to curl like a rams
horn Occasionally they were twisted
In different directions as though the
feet were deformed The clergy pro
tested and threatened but the fashion
continued in spite of the maledictions
Several persons were excommunicated
for wearing pointed shoes but they
took the risk
FISHING FOR BIRDS
Catching GuIIh uiul AlhntroxM With
Itoil and Line
Curious though it may seem it is a
fact that birds are caught with rod and
line in many parts of the world The
pastime is declared to be almost as fas
cinating as fishing Gulls in Newfound
land are caught in this way in large
quantities In New England fishing for
gulls and petrels is an important in
dustry
The method of bird fishing is practi
cally the same as that of ordinary
fishing Two men go out in a dory and
throw pieces of cod liver on the water
When large quantities of birds have
been attracted to the spot more cod
liver is thrown out on a hook This the
birds greedily swallow and thus fall
easy victims
Albatross are fished for in the sanfe
way off the Cape of Good Hope A
piece of pork is attached to a long line
and thrown overboard The bird will
eye it for a long time gradually and
cautiously making toward it Suddenly
he will seize it and hold it in his beak
When he discovers that he is caught he
will sit on the water and vigorously
flap his wings However he will be
drawn into rho boat and made a cap
tive
Albatross fishing is good sport since
the bird requires careful handling So
long as he pulls against the line it is
easy enough The moment however
he swims forward the hook will drop
from his beak unless it is skillfully ma
nipulated and the bird will find him
self free
A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS
The Famous Chained Library of
Wimlioarne Ireland
Wimbourne Ireland is noted for
many things but its famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable of
its curiosities The library possesses
unique interest as being one of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knowl
edge among the people The collection
was made accessible to the people in
1GSJ and numbers some 200 volumes
The scarcity of books and the value or
the collection are both indicated in tho
care taken for their preservation and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft By means of chains
and rods the books were securely fas
tened to the shelves and these chains
it is rather surprising to learn were
not removed until 1S57 when the li
brary fittings were repaired Among
the interesting works of the collection
is a copy of the first edition of Sir
Walter Raleighs History of the
World 1C14 It has suffered from fire
and tradition says that Matthew Trior
was responsible for its condition the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon a time and the
pages were burned by his candle It
has been neatly repaired and its mis
hap now adds to its interest The old
est volume in the library is a fine old
copy in vellum of Regiuum Auinna
rum It is in manuscript and bears
the date ij43

THE SAVAGE MORO
nln Terrible Religious Frenzy Whleh
HiotN In Murder
The Moro is a savage a primal man
a Miiuy which is a branch of one of
the oldiat stocks which we know
He is subject when iml under the In
fluence of a self contained ruler to
strange murderous fits of insanity
When a Moro without effort on his
part becomes seized with a desire to
murder he Is said to have run amuck
and at such times he will rush wildly
slashing and killing every one he
chances to meet even his own people
When however he purposely works
himself Into a religious frenzy it Is
with the desire to kill Christians and
by the faith of the prophet ascend
forthwith into paradise The Moro in
this state of passion is said to be ju
ramentado He has then taken a re
ligious oath perhaps administered by
some sacred hadji who had duly
made his pilgrimage to Mecca He has
bound himself up so that he suffers
excruciating agonies and through phys
ical suffering is reduced to a nervous
frenzy Having once taken the oath
the Moro juramentado is downed to
slay until at last he himself is slain
The Moro is a Mohammedan but be
has perverted the Mohammedan belief
until at times it is a weird grotesque
and terrible religion In the heart of
the Moro there is no fear of death It
is to him but an incident of life and
his belief as he has fashioned it is
that he who dies in battle is cleansed
from sin and goes straight to the bos
oms of the houris in paradise The
Moros idea of government is force
He has never known anything else If
you are kind to him lie thinks you fear
him His world is ruled by fear uot

A traveler who recently visited the
coast of Labrador says that nowhere
on earth are life and property held so
sacred as in that little known and bar
ren land A thousand miles of lonely
seaboard along which is scattered a
population of some 10000 people about
one third of whom are white would
seem to give every opportunity for
crime jet there Is no police officer of
any kind no court and no jail Nor
are they needed The only criminal
charge within fifty years was one
against an Eskimo who shot a rival in
love
In addition to the resident popula
tion the coast is visited every summer
by about 10000 Newfoundland fisher
men and while Newfoundland itself is
not by any means free from criminals
none appear to come among the fishers
or else the example of the natives of
Labrador causes them to refrain from
any wrongdoing while there Years
ago a circuit court visited the coast
every summer but as it found nothing
to do it was abolished Now should
any serious charge be made against a
man a magistrate would be sent from
Newfoundland to investigate it Har
