game was devoid of sensational

caused them . to lose. The pitching

Filial piety finds no place in Tibet
an character. 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.

' 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.

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."
