A Well Built Instrument,”
When the congert was over and
the pianlst was driving &long the
snowy rchd to the Burdham inn,
where he was to spend the might, he
véntured' to' ask 'his host of the
evening if he had'enjoyed the play
ing. “You did first rate,” Mr. Burn
ham told jm. “That’s my opinion.
“Yes,” he went on alter a:minute,
“you certainly did first rate You
showed power and strzn’th ‘beyond
anything I ever expected tr listen
to, and you was lightnir g quick into
the bargain. Anybody that heard
you tould tell youw'd worked hard
and long and steady to get your
trade. But I tell ye who else had
ought:to have some credit—that’s
the man that made the piano you
played on. *Tain’t every instrument
that would stand the strain you put
on it, not by a good deal. T should
call it the praise ought to be di
vided pretty cven betwixt ye.” e

~or Tobacco.
Lord Deas, a Scotch judge, was
once hearing a case when the smell
of tobacco permeated the room, and,
being in .opposition to the rules,
search was made to trace the of
fender, without avail. Finally the
ushers said it must come {rom the
refiring room of the lawyers. This
his lordship scouted, saying:
“No such thing. Dae ye mean to
tell me the gentlemen of the bar
smoke. common Limerick twist?”
‘Strange to say, shortly after an
Irishman in court discovered the
pipe he had placed alight in his
pocket had set fire to the lining, and
it was loaded with Limerick twist.
The judge had a good nose and knew:
what he was talking abcut.” o

INVOKING THE SPIRITS.
Queer Superstitions ~f the Veddas of
‘ . " Ceylon, Y
Dr. C. (3 Seligmar, writirg in
Travel and Exploration, throws
some interésting light on the beliefs
and superstitions of the Veddas, the
strange hill tribes and cave dwellers
of Ceylon: “Although there is no
clearly formulated idea of a death
contagion, the rapidity with whieh
all Veddas leave the place where @
‘death has occurred and avoid it for
years shows that some evil quality
1s associated with dissolwtion. Ac
cording to most Veddas, the spirit
of every dead man, woman or child
becomes a ‘yaka’ (plural ‘yaku’)
within a few days after death.
Some Veddas, however, say that
when ordinary folk die they cease
utterly amd that a surviving part,
which becomes a yaka, exists only
in the case of especially strong, en
ergetic or skilled men, who have
shown their- strength of character
in this wowrld or who have had the
power of ealling the yaku during
their lifetime. '
“Since each Wedda community
consists of a small number of fami
lies, usually" related by blood and
marriage, the yaku of the recent
dead—called collectively the ne ya
ku-—are supposed to stand toward
the survivilg members of the group
in the light’of friends and relatives,
who, if welll treated, will continue
their loving kindness to their sur
vivors, and only if neglected will
show their disgust and anger by
withdrawing ‘their ascistance or
even becoming actively hostile;
hence it is generally considered
necessary to present an offering to
the newly dead, msually within a
week or two of death. This offering
must consist of copked rice and co
coanut milk, the food that every
Vedda esteems above all other, but
betel leaves and areca nuts are often
added. e
¥ln each commimity there is one
rian, called ‘kapurals,’ or ‘duggana
ws,” who has the pover and knowl
edge requisite to call the yaku, and
SI.OO Per Yeats
this man calls upon the yaka of the
recently dend man to come and Lk
the offéring. The vaka comes,
the kapurale hécomes ocseued?
the yalka of thie dea(lp man, who
speaks through his mouth in hoarse,
guttural accents, stat:“ns that he ap
grovcs the offering and will assisf
is kinfolk in hunting and often
definitely indieating ltio directio
in which the ‘next hunting party
should go. One or more of the ne
relatives may also become possessad.
Soon after the epirit leaves the
kapurale the rice is caten by the as
sembled folk.” -
" Who Owned the Fish. - i}
!flere ie in Wales a creck five
long, connecting two small
lakes. About fifty persons own
preperty along this creek, and for
years and years the people have &is
puted as to who ownet{)_ the fish in
it. Not long ago two beys got into
a fight over the fish they werej
catching, and the dispube was o
last carried into the courts. (Fhe
decision of the judge was odd
enough. He decreed that any one
claiming to own any of the fisl¥
should attach a brags {ag to the tails
of the fish with the owner’s name io
‘plain letters, and that in the future
he must catch his own fish or none
at all. This unigque decision put an
end to the dispute—Chicago Licc
