Hence They Get Rid of Their Bodies as Quickly as Possible. ' One practice of the Navajos that pro. motes health among them, howeVer re- pugnant it may be for us, is their dis- position of the dead. In the presence of the living the Navajo is without fear, but his terror of the dead is ab- ject and unreasoning. The dead are believed to he possessed of malevolent feelings toward the survivors, with un- limited powers for working evil upon those who carelessly place thenaselves within the power of the spirits. So when any one dies the only anx- iety of the surviving relatives is to get rid of the body as quickly as possible. If there are any white men living in the neighborhood an effort Is made to induce them to perform the offices of undertaker. If not, the disposition of the body depends somewhat upon cir- cumstances. If the hogan—the mod- ern wigwam—is built of wood it is set on fire and burned with the body in it. If of stone the body is usually taken outside, the entrance to the hogan closed up with stones or sticks and a hole made in the wall opposite to per- mit the evil spirits to depart and to • warn passersby that the structure be- longs to the dead. If the death occurred in a rocky country the body will likely be taken to some crevice and thrown in it. It =ay be left uncovered to become the prey of wolves and coyotes, or sticks and stones may be cast over it. If the family lives in a sandy part of the reservation, with no convenient crev- ices or chasms near by, the body will be laid upon the sand, a little earth and some stones thrown upon it, and a pile of brush laid over all.—Christian Berahl. The Judge Who Didn't Joke. The funny sayings of a judge who never joked are found in "Arabini- ana," a selection of the dicta of Ser- geant William Arabin, who sat as 'a judge at the Old Bailey in London from 1830 to 1839. For Instance, his Iremark to counsel: "If you can show precisely at what moment the offense was committed and prove that the prisoner was not there when he did it he could not pos- sibly have done it" And be sagely kidded as an afterthought, "We cannot Invest ourselves of common sense in a '0ourt of justice." i 'Another axiom he delivered himself Of has been fathered on many other IDecnpants of the bench: . "If ever there was a case of clearer arvidence than this case, this case is 'that case."
