It is no uncommon thing for a son to turn his father, when too old for work, out of doors and to leave him to perish in the cold. The superstition that the souls of the dead can, if they will, haunt the living drives their hardened natures to gain by the exercise of cruelty the promise of the dying that they will not return to earth. As death approaches the dying per son is asked, "Will you come back or will you not?" If he replies that he will, they pull a leather bag over his bead and smother him; if he says he Will not, he is allowed to die In peace. Edinburgh Review. A Very Aaelent Snake.

' In 81am the catting of the topknot It so Important a ceremony for the future spiritual welfare of the child that it la most scrupulously carried out, with all the pomp and ceremony that the means of the parents will allow. That the poor people may not be deprived of the benefit of the ceremony the government provides all that is necessary for It at one of the temples at Bangkok. The center of the ceremony is the cutting off of the topknot, which is all the hair children are permitted to wear np to that time. But associated with It are a number of purifications and other reli gious forms which have to be scrupu lously carried out The topknot which la ordinarily adorned with a chaplet of flowers or beads, often held in place with a jeweled pin of considerable val ue, is now much more resplendently adorned, while the child Is further load ed with the richest Jewels the family can provide. After the ceremony the hair Is allowed to grow all over the head and Is usually worn about an inch long, standing up like a brush. The child is now reckoned to have reached man's estate, although, to their credit be It said, the Siamese are in no hurry to marry their children. In fact undue haste to make a match for a daughter is opt to raise a question as to whether things are so flourishing with the fam ily as they might be. When marriage is thought of, It Is of ten the result of mutual affection and takes the form of an elopement, with subsequent forgiveness by the old folk. The more formal way calls for a lot of negotiation and the payment to the parents of "ka noin," which is often, however, returned to the daughter on the birth of her first child. The monks, who are the astrologers of the country among other accomplishments, are called upon to fix the lucky day, on the arrival of which the bridegroom and his friends go to the pride's house, car rying presents of cakes and betel. All Siamese chew betel, and not to offer it to a guest Is a serious breach of hospi tality. The quids when ready for chew ing consist of leaves of the betel pep per, chips of areca nut there is no such thing' as betel nut that careless travelers write about a little slaked lime and sometimes tobacco also. Tho Siamese word for this mixture Is ap propriately "muk." This will always be in evidence at weddings, and the preparation and presentation of the be tel tray to the bridegroom constitute one of the forms of acceptance by the bride of his authority over her. The monks will be already In attendance, feasted with the best that can be pro vided, and the ceremony of marriage Is performed by them with the sprinkling of consecrated water over the couple. But the greatest ceremony of all takes place after death. If the person be of high rank, the body Is placed In a sitting posture in a large metal urn or among the commoners in an ordinary coffin. After being kept a period that lengthens with the exaltation of rank a day is fixed for the cremation. All the friends of the family are invited, and enormous sums are spent on enter taining them and providing free shows for the general public. The guests will enter the lnclosure, while Chinese thea ters, Siamese marionettes and plays will be provided for all who care' to witness them. On entering one would be met by some member of the de fnsed's family bearing a black bag, Into which all are Invited In turn to dip a hand. It Is found to contain a num ber of tiny balls, each of which Is hol low and contains a screw of paper. A Siamese figure on it refers to a similar figure on some article In one of the booths In the lnclosure, and the guests are expected to present the number to the attendants and receive as a present whatever it represents. There may be a dinner, but anyway refreshments will be provided in abun dance. Just at sunset the pyre will be lighted. A stick of scented wood or a wreath of flowers made of the per fumed sandalwood, as well as a candle of unbleached wax, is banded to each guest and lamps are lighted at the foot of the steps of the pyre. Just as with us those at the graveside perform the last office for the dead in dropping a little earth into the grave, so in Slam each one lights his candle at a lamp and places it under the urn or coffin, to gether with the scented stick or wreath. Buddhist monks away in one of the booths will be reciting sacred texts meanwhile, but nothing in the way of prayer, whether for the dead or the living, enters into the ceremony. Fireworks will be let off, including a very mournful one known to the na tives as the "roaring of elephants." It la made by shaving a thick bamboo very thin at one point and then making a silt The inside is filled with compo sition and sealed, and this, when fired, exerts great pressure on the slit mak ing the edges vibrate continuously, so producing a series of loud groans of a most doleful character. When the de ceased is of high rank, the king sends an ald-de-camp with a lamp lighted from one that is kept continually burn ing in the royal temple and whose light was originally obtained from a tree fired by lightning. After the cremation the ashes are collected and most of them thrown into the river, though of ten a few are placed In the temple in a wooden urn. Mission Field. Oreatlr Reduced. "Well, well, old man!

CAUFIELD, Manager. INTENTIONS THAT COUNT. OnlrTnoee Pat Into Pmotioe Anoint to Anything. The paving of the road to a very un comfortable place is said to be com posed of good intentions. Nowhere else has this material been tried for paving, though It is plentiful enough for almost any purpose. We all know people whose houses burn when they are "just going to" Insure, who lose a cow or a horse when they are "Just going to" mend the fence or close the gate. who are "Just going to" buy stock when it goes up like a rocket who are "just going to" pay a note when it goes to protest, who are "Just going to" help a neighbor when he dies, who are "just going to" send some flowers to a sick friend when it proves too late. In fact they are "just going to" do things all their lives, but never get them started. 'To be always intending to live a new life, but never to find time to set about it," says Tillotson, "Is as if a man should put off eating and drinking until he is starved to death." . Under every clock in a factory at Cleveland, O., is the motto, "Do It now I" Such a motto, lived up to by every 0ji would spare the world much trouble. It would add thousands of good deeds to dally happenings, save many firms from bankruptcy through bad debts, paint hundreds ot pictures only dreamed of, write books without number and straighten out half the tangles of our complicated social life. The habit of putting off disagreeable duties Is responsible for much needless unhapplness, for these bugbears weigh on the mind and prevent the satisfied content that comes from duty well per formed. Most tasks promptly under taken prove loss difficult than we antic ipated, and the joy of accomplishment often compensates for any hardship ex perienced. ,. Don't get to be known for unfulfilled good intentions.' Good Intentions car ried out become the good deeds that make men . useful, loved and famous. Doing things rather than just planning them makes all the difference between success and failure. Success. The Root of Trees. The roots of a tree do not cover the same area beneath the earth as they do above. A gardener of many years' ex perience, having had a vast deal to do in digging and transplanting trees, says he has found that the roots of trees cover on an average about two thirds of the area of Its branches. The tree which has the largest area under ground Is the weeping willow. This tree's roots spread to such an extent that should there be any trees or shrubs planted within thirty feet of them in a few years the roots of the willow will be found Intermingled with them. Fruit trees, such as apples, pears and plums, have very small roots in comparison with their size. The roots of currant bushes do not occupy more than a quur ter the space their branches cover. Crltlclam That Hnrta and Fret. To bring about sane friendship be tween people who love each other, re spect for each other's individuality is of course necessary. We can vow that unless duty seriously and lovingly de mands It there should be no unasked criticism between people who love each other. Think how it would make for peace if domestic criticism were for bidden at every breakfast tablet Think of our own happiness if our brothers and sisters will stop telling us unpleas ant truths! Think of their happiness if we could refrain from enlightening them as to their dress or manners or beliefs! Margaret Deland in Harper's Bazar. An Appropriate Qnotatlon. Dr. Temple's hatred of verbosity was intense. On one occasion his chaplain was surprised to receive a telegram from the archbishop consisting of only the words, "Third John, 13 and 14." Mystified, the chaplain turned, up his Bible and read: "I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee. But I trust I shall shortly see thee and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet thy friends by name." Generous. . "If I could only get a bite to eat" he whined. "Why don't you work?" she asked. "Nothln doln' in my line," be an swered. "I'm a dime museum glass eater, au' they're gettln' too common." "Poor man!" she said sympathetical ly.
