"WAKE" IS OLD INSTITUTION
Custom Most Prevalent T6d*y In lr»
lend Well Known to the Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans.
"The custom of >waklng* the dead,
with the drinking, smoking and con
versation "Of the large company cl
neighbors who assemble in the house
of mourning, appears incongruous and
repulsive to those who are nnacquaint
ed with Its remote origin or the kiudly
and humane motives which underlie
It," says Michael Macdonagh, in the
English Review. "The wake Is a very
old Institution. It existed among the
Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans
Shakespeare and Scott give instance!
of medieval revels In honor of the
dead. The custom survives In a dif
ferent form, but with somewhat Identi
cal motives, among the Irish, almost
alone of the ancient peoples.
" 'Waking' means, for one thing,
•watching.' The English way of leav
ing the body shut up In a room, all
alone, would be most repellant to the
Irish nature. It would be regarded as
desertion. The Irish keep close com
pany with their dead until the very
last moment of the burial.
"The body Is clothed la a shroud
made la Imitation of the habits worn
by certain orders of friars and In
the hands, crossed reverently on the
breast. Is placed a crucifix. The walls
near the bed are hung with clean
white sheets on which are pinned
bunches of flowers, laurel leaves and
holy pictures. Lighted candles, seven
in number, are on the table. They are
symbolical of hopes and aspirations
relating to the dead. That he or she
hifs been cleansed of the seven deadly
sins, possessed the seven gifts of wis
dom, understanding, counsel, fortitude,
knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord,
and the seven principal virtues.
"First entering the room where the
body lies the visitors kneel and say a
prayer for the eternal salvation of the
departed soul. Afterward In the kitch
en, snuff, pipes and tobacco, whisky
and stout are served to the company.
The dead person Is In his house for the
last time, and, as host for the last
time, dispenses hospitality.
"Memories of bis kindliness and
ftfod nature are revived by the neigh
bors. "Tls he that had th* bright
smile and cheery word whenever you
met him, and no matter what you
might want of him, sure yju had only
to say the word to get It with a heart
and a half.*"
H« Got a Seat
Speaking of street cars reminds one
of the latest—the very latest—thing In
wording heard on a local traction line.
This was sprung on an unsuspecting
world the other night—morning, rather
—about three o'clock.
The springer told about It to his ofl
flee mates the next morning as fol
lows :
"I'm so used to standing up In the
■treet car that I don't know how to sit
down any more, actually," he said. "I
feel more rested standing up than sit
ting down. We always like what we
grow accustomed to, of course—sort of
force of habit; strong thing, you know,
as all our well-known psychologists
agree.
"The other afternoon I stood up for
two miles, and finally a lady got out,
and a motherly looking woman said
to me, 'Here's a seat,' and I snld, 'It's
a pretty seat, all right'
"But that night I started to tell yon
about—belleTe me, boys, If you want
to get a seat on a Washington street
car go home at three o'clock In the
morning. It Is pretty late. I'll adailt,
but the lateness of the hour has Its
compensation.
"I got on, and there wasn't anybody
else on the car, but I got a seat, boys;
I got a seat I"—Washington Star.
Meat I* Scarce.
Patrick J. Kennedy and Thomas
Carr, farmers of Templeton, Ind., came
to Indianapolis with three carloads of
hogs and cattle, and after waiting all
day at the stock yards were told that
there was no demand for them, says
the Indianapolis News. The price on
hogs fell off from 517.69 to $17.10 while
they were at the yards and finally they
had to sell 12 of the choicest hogs from
one car at $17. They were told that
these hogs were too fat The razor
backs, comparatively speaking, brought
$17.10. The cattle could not be sold.
After this experience the two went
to a stock yards restaurant nearby and
ordered steak. It was Tuesday and,
therefore, a meatless day.
"We can't buy beef or pork," said the
waitress. 'All we have for you Is flsh
and oysters. Meat Is very scarce, you
know."
"Yes, we know," said Kenredy, as he
gave in and bought a substitute.
P>f*lnee»llke and Efficient
It Is considered worthy of notice in
the papers that a woman has "held
down" a Job as agent at a railroad sta
tion somewhere in the West and that a
woman was agent at a Maine station
for a few weeks. People must have
Bhort memories not to recall that the
agent of the Important Grand Trunk
station at Lewlston a dozen years ago
was a woman, who held the Job for
some time. And the writer can testify
that she was businesslike and efficient,
for she once kept him waiting at the
ticket window for ten minutes by the
clock while she finished the Job she
was doing on the books.—Oxford (Me.)

CULTURE HERE BEFORE 1492
Did America's Pre-Columbian Civiliza
tion Come From Egypt? Is
Now Question.
Prof. Elliot Smith developed In an
extraordinarily interesting manner the
thesis that the pre-Columbian civiliza
tions of America—or at least many im
portant features In those civilizations
—were not truly aboriginal, but came
in a cultural wave from Asia across
the Pacific ocean, the original starting
point of the most remarkable charac
teristic being Egypt.
Professor Smith believes, says Sci
ence Progress, that the extremely pe
culiar culture of Egypt was spread
eastward by mariners, mainly Phoeni
cians, for several centuries after B. O.
800. To quote the author's own words,
he thinks that "the essential elements
of the ancient civilizations of India
(the pre-Aryan civilizations), further
India, the Malay archipelago, Oceania
and America were brought In succes
sion to each of these places by mari
ners, whose oriental migrations began
as trading Intercourse between the
eastern Mediterranean and India some
time after 800 B. C., and that the
highly complex and artificial culture1
which they spread abroad was derived
largely from Egypt (not earlier than
the twenty-first dynasty), but also In
cluded many Important accretions
from other sources, and that after tra
versing Asia and Oceania and becom
ing modified on the way, the stream
finally "continued for many centuries
to play upon the Pacific littoral of
America, where it was responsible for
planting the germs of the remarkable
pre-Columbian civilization."
