WHEN 'SAVAGES DIE. ;Cattle, Slaves and Relatives Slain to Accompany Departed. , By many savages the dead are supposed to be only asleep; so the ‘departed spirit must be provided for any contingency. The Tongous races of the South Pacific places weapons on “the grave,” etc., to ,be ready for service the moment fthe dead man awakes from his tem- Iporary repose. “And a like course,” says Herbert Spencer, “is followed by the Kalmucks, the Esâ€" quimaux, the Iroquois, and by tribes, savage and semiâ€"civilized, too numerous to mention.” The dead man needs not only his inanimate, but also his animate possessions; so his slavesâ€"even his relativesâ€"are slaughtered. “With the Kirghiz chief,‘ says Spencer, “are deposited his favorite horses, as also with the Yakut, the Coman- che, the Patagonian; with the Bedouin, his camel; with the Toda, in former times, his entire herd.” “The custom of sacrificing wives and slaves and friends develops as society advances and the theory of another life becomes more definite. Among the Fuegans, the Andaman- ese, the Australians, with their rudimentary social organizations, wives are not killed to accompany dead husbands. But it is a prac- tice shown us by more advanced peoples.” It was in ancient America, how? ever, that immolation to the dead was carried to its greatest extent. "‘In Mexico every great man’s chap: lain was slain that he might per- form for him the religious cere- o monies in the next life as in this.’ Among the. Indians of Vera Paz, gwhen a lord was dying they immed- §iately killed as many slaves as he had, that they might precede him and prepare the house for their master.” - quick! stops can a circa colds, heal. the throat and hm n_ . -- - ~ 25 coma.

She found quick relief in the old reliable Kidney remedy, and ad- vises all'her friends to use Dodd‘s Kidney Pills. St. Benedict, Sask., March 20 (Special).â€"â€"Gladness has replaced the anxiety that reigned in the household of Mrs. Annie Vanvorst of this place. For some time past Mrs. Vanvorst had suffered from Kidney Trouble and palpitation of the heart, and fears were entertainâ€" ed of those terribly sudden fatali~ ties that so frequently accompany affections of the heart. But' relief from both ailments was quickly found in the old reliable remedy, Dodd’s Kidney Pills. In an inter- view Mrs. Vanvorst says: “‘I had palpitation of the heart and my Kidneys were out of or- der. I took one box of Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills, and found great relief. For a Kidney pill Dodd’s Kidney Pills cannot be beat. You may pubâ€" lish what I say as it may be the means of benefitting others who suf- fer with Kidncy Trouble or Heart Disease.” Pure blood is the basis of all health, and you can’t have pure blood unless your Kidneys are in good working order. Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills never fail to put the Kidâ€" neys in perfect w_orking order. __»x< WISE PEOPLE. Knickerâ€"Did they name the baby for a wealthy relative, so he would leave something?

Russian Girls’ School Built by Work in a Field of Cats. M. Maxim Kolibaba, a provin- cial commissary of the Russian pro- vince of the Tauride, had for years attempted to found a girls’ inter- mediate school at Kamrat, but the 60,000 rubles necessary for the building and foundation were not forthcoming. He complained of this to M. Tsanko, a local million- aire, who retorted that he did not believe in education, as what Rus- sia wanted was good agricultural laborers, and sneered at M. Koli- baba as a type of educated good for nothing. M. Kolibaba retorted that, de- spite his education, he could reap his own twentyâ€"three acres of cats with a hand sickle and without help, and he undertook to do this in twentyâ€"eight days. The incredu- lous millionaire declared that if this were done he would subscribe thewhole 60,000 rubles needed for the school. M. Kolibaba thereupon set to work and, despite a temperature of forty degrees Reaumur, reaped the whole twenty-three acres before the term expired. The millionaire fulfilled the terms of the bet, and paid over the 60,000 rubles for building the school. M. Kolibaba, who lost fourteen pounds during the: operation, is now being bombarded by other 10- calities which want schools and ex- pect the commissary to get money for them by further reaping ex- ploits. dhdhdgfhr culc‘if‘y Mops con In. cure: colds. heal. root and Inn at. - I c 26 cents.

Zam-Buk Will Quickly Heal. The approach» of Spring finds many people with unsightly face sores, eruptions, boils, etc. In this connection Zam-Buk is invaluable. Mr. It. H. Barker, of Glencairn, Ont., says: “I never could have believed that any remedy could cure so quickly and at the same time so effectively ‘ as Zam-Buk cured me. My face he- gan to be covered with a kind of rash, which itched and irritate-d. This rash then turned to sores, which discharged freely and began to spread. I first tried one thing and then another, but nothing seemed to do me much good, and the eruption got worse and worse until my face was just covered with running sores. “Apart from the pain (which was very had). my face was such a ter- rible sight that I was not fit to go out. This was my state when someâ€"- one advised me to try Zamâ€"Buk. I got a supply, and within a week I could see that the sores were rap- idly healing. A little longer, and Zam-Buk had healed them coinâ€" pletely, and my skin was as clear as if I had never had a sore.” Zamâ€"Buk is unequalled for Spring 1 rashes, eruptions, children’s sores, , scalp diseases. ringworm, ulcers,i abscesses, eczema, tetter, piles, l l l l cuts, burns. bruises, and skin in- juries and diseases generally.
