CUSTOMS OF BURMA 1
lturrneae Idea ef the Seel After Deets
Is Otranto
Burma Ie the one pIace on mirth
where the death of a man owing large
sums of money 1s no cause for worry
to fats creditors. In fact. the Bur -
111650 think that a creditor has • better
chance of recovering • debt from the
dead than from the living, provided
the deceased has relations who are
at all concerned ter his welfare in
the life beyond the slave. If the debt
Is not paid they believe that the dead
man will come Into the creditor's
power as his servant. ox or dog.
The Burmese appear to have no
Ideas regarding the direction of the
land of the dead. or of the country
from which the race came. The
curious custom prevails of holding a
complete funeral and burial ceremony
in the hope of deceiving the Destroy-
er, and inducing him to leave a sick
person alone.
The Burman regards it as • matter
of course that the soul rhould co•tlnue
to exist after death, and he believes
that It remains in the house, and is
cognisant of all that etas on there.
for seven days. The bed of the de-
ceased person is laid. and a fresh
supply of food and water is placed by
It every morning and evening. During
the same period hospitality 1. offered
to all who come, and monks are in-
vited to preach as well as to eat.
At the end of the seven days, the
spirit departs. According to the Bur-
mese. he is ejected by the house -god,
Min Magayi, the mighty blacksmith
who was burned alive by • king of
Tagaung, and whose spirit watches
over every Burman household. But
during the seven days lie 1s not ab-
solutely confined to the house. He
may wander about visiting the places
he wag wont to visit In life.

BOY'S HEART MASSAGED
Action Restored 4tfter Thirteen Min-
utes' S spenelon
The story of how Albert Davies,
aged 6, had his heart's action restored
by massage atter thirteen minutes' ces-
sation is related in the privately cir-
culated "Gazette” issued to the staff
of Guy's Hospital, London, Eng. After
the boy's tonsils had been removed be
stopped breathing. Other means tall -
ins to restore respiration, which had
ceased for twelve minutes' an incision
was made to enable the surgeon to
massage the heart. Atter about twenty
squeezes the heart was suddenly felt
to be beating and respiration was re-
establiehed, though at first the pulse
was not perceptible, and the boy's con-
dition remained extremely feeble. He
was unconscious for two days. Only
by unremitting care was he brought
round gradually to perfect health.
The medical statement on the ease
concludes: "There have been several
•urceesful cases recorded of heart

unique, in that recovery took pisoe.
after so long a time of eessation of

that it is extremely difficult to estimate

that the heart had stopped at least
