This takes days or weeks. the time de- pending largely upon the pay the doctor . receives. If the pay in large, he takes a _ longer time because there will be plenty of rum for him. and this is about all he ? cares for. If the relatives are poor, tho doctor soon finds the witch. and thou ‘ the body of the dead man is placed in u 1 grave on the edge of the forest. This grave is deeper than the first, 1 and after it is filled sticks are fastened across it. and if stones are available : these are used to secure the grave. It is , necessary to do thia, or the hyenna would soon find the body. Rich persons have a monument over their graves, but common folk cannot afford this. They place some of the dead person’s ?_ property upon the grave instead. A . plate, a pitcher and a spoon usually are , the articles one finds. Those things are : sacred. No one will steal them or even , exchange them for broken ones. Kings and rich persons are not buried I cocoon. It often taken weeks, months‘ , and even years before they rest in’thcir graves. Their bodies are preserved in a kind of way, and. since the natives seem able to stand any amount of all kinds of oil‘euliveuous, it does not mat- ter to them at all how much time oinpscs before the burial takes place. Many yards of cloth are wound around the body, sometimes as much as 00 yards or more, and alter this the body is placed in a box as large as possible. One that We furnished for Mongovy Gernnndo measured 7 foot long by 2.55 feet wide and ii feet deep. This box is put into II new but and left there until the witch is found and killed and until the rela- tives bring enough presents to fill the coffin. After all thiais uncouiplishod the late lamented is allowed to rest in peace. ‘ There is still another way of dispos- ing of the dead. Tho body Is cut into pieces and tied in \vrnppinga made of palm leaves, and then hung up inside a but and smoked, the smudge being kept going day and night. King Jim N'Go- mob of Konngo, who died in the spring of 1887, was not buried when we left in 1896. The roiutiyee had not enough val- uable presents toput into the audio, no they delayed the funeral. This old king's son and daughter both died and worn buried while his body was being smoked. Perhaps it is not buriod yet. It is a strange fact that the natives never put rum into a coffin, even if they. have a great deal of it in their posses- sion. Funerals are very noisy affairs. Dancing. drinking and shooting arc the order of tho day. The shooting is done at sunrise and sunset to keep the spirit of the dead from returning. Tho natives believe in a spirit world. The dead lInventown just like the living and live in the some manner, marry and are given in marriage, buy and soil, make war with one another—in fact. curry on all the vocations of life in their world. which is invisible. Tho cloth and other things are placed in the coffin to give the rich a start In the spirit world. The natives any that there are ghosts, and for this reason they are great cowards after dark. has often lIupponod that the natives huvo robbed the graves of white people to carry nwny ports of tho body—in most ' «use» the bond—because they believe there is grout morit in this, nudtbnt . any chief who iIInI a white man‘s head in his possession can withstand nil foes.

Town Lots at no Cents Apieoo. The decrease in values in the far west is almost inconceivable to one who has not been through the changyrom influ— tion to depression. Hundreds of prairie cities are finding their real estate al- most unsnlnblo. They were once so sure of being the centers of the business life for a large surrounding country tbut the fail is beyond their comprehension. A sale of the assets of a central Kansas bank that failed in 1889 was hold the other day, and many lots in western town additions that had been a part of the bank’ a assets were sold to the high- est bidder for 30 cents apiece. They had been appraised at .70 ouch when the bunk failed, but as they were on the outskirts of a place that lost its grip on prosperity they had nothing to keep them above the level of farm land. Farms in the wcsto II part of Nebraska and Kansas are in be same condition. They are not sulnblo except where they can be combined into large ranches nud whero the owners are possessed of clear titles. Thousands of those are owned III the east under the deed of n sheriff, through the process of foreclosure. The loans that were made on them in the halcyon days are past due, and tho mortgagece have taken their own. This has all resulted, not from the lack of effort, but from the fact that not enough water has fnlien in the western third of Kansas and Nebraska to Innko the crops grow. That in the whole mot- tur. It is not bad judgment or politics that has driven those thousands out of the Eden that they had sought, but the failure of crops. Kansas has lost 250.- 000 in population in this way, and the fact has exerted a depressing influence on those who remain. It is the differ- ence between tho rising and tho fnlling tide. The loss has occurred entirely in the western counties, for the eastern part of tho state has in the past your gIIined 18,000 in population, while the , state, as a whole, has gained only 1,900, although the births outnumbered tho dentin; by sovv ral thousands. —-C.

There is nothing more wonderful in the chronological and time keeping lino than the "Theosophical (lulondur, Ac- cording Io the Secret Doctrine."
