* I I i 1 i Hvgflm ALBANY WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER io, UJ92. OuRtimo Mortuary Cnntuitin. The Guatuso Indians of Central America live in considerable num bers in a single hut and the village visited comprised about fifteen huts. The dead are buried in the habita tions, and the earth covering the graves settles until it is about a foot below the surface of the floor. As time goes on the graves become less distinct, and Anally they are com pletely obliterated. When a person dies the relatives wail aloud, crying, •‘I am distressed." When a warrior is buried bis body is provided with certain feathers of two currnssows, a bunch being placed in each hand, and for some 4 time after death cacao is placed upon the grave, in order that the departed warrior may be supplied with drink. —American Anthropologist. No PrIm Pride, “Ain't you ashamed to lie seen in der tabernacle in sich raggedy pants)” said Whangdoodlo Baxter to Jim Webster. “No, indeed, parson, I ain’t asham ed. Dey don’t belong ter me. What’s I got ter be ’shamed of 1 Texas Sift ings. The flarecens and the Moon. The Saracens called tho moon Cabar the Great, and the crescent still surmounts the Turkish mosques and is omblozoned on tho given standard of the prophot. Sclilogal mentions a story that Mohammed “wished to pass with his disciples as a person transfigured in a supernat ural light, and that the credulity of his followers saw the moon, or tho moon’s light, descend upon him, his garments and replenish “That veneration for the moon which still forms a national or ratfaor religious characteristic of the Mo hammedans may perhaps have its foundation in the elder superstition 'or pagan idolatry of the Arabs.”— London Standard. 1 A Royal Recall*, The most expensive royal regalias in the world are those of tho maha rajah of Baroda, India.

Mail* Too Much at Home. A nearsighted lady, who lives on Sixteenth street, across tho Platto, sent to an intelligence ofllco for a girl, and was expecting her all tho morning. It was raining a little and the woman who lived next door threw on on old lint and shawl and iconic over to borrow a teacupful of jlard. She knocked at the sido door jand was grootod with: I “Go right up the back stairway to lyour room over tho kitchon. When you are tidied up a little como down Ihere and I’ll talk to you.” The women are deadly enemies now.—Colorado Sun. Au Kt1Vnilii*t« Kneel. The insertion of the minute scarf- pins up in one corner of tho scarfing a few years ago was u prettified no tion, which was tinctured with an effeminate flavor. It was clearly in the nature of u desire to look “fetch ing"—another phrase that belongs done to the vocabulary of the fair lex.—Clothior and Furnisher. 8wee|>lii£ Out.

FOR THE CAMPAIGN! -T H E- You must have absolute confidence in the source from which your table sup plies come. There is no reason why you should not know exactly what you are buying and there is just as little reason why you should not be suired to perfection. “Charity covers a multitude of sins” and so do some grocery bills. There is such a thing as paying for the best of everything and not getting the best of anything. We believe that principle should come before profit and we carry that theory into practice. Do you happen to want anything in line of Fancy and Family Groceries. We carry a full and complete assort ment of all varieties of Canned Goods, Coffee and Teas of the best, Postelle’s Elegant Flour, Pure Spices, and Ex tracts Butter.
