WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH ’ Mrs. John Colosky, 70, residing one-h alf mile -west of Bashor Chapel near Dunlaps, was burned to death about 8 o’clock on Tuesday morning. Her oody was found in the smouldering ruins of the two-story frame house. The fire broke out about 7:30 w<hen Mr. an d Mrs. Colosky and their daughter were eating breakfest. Eager to save as much furniture and personal belongings as possible, Mrs. Colosky hurried upstairs. Flames were then creeping through the flour. She grabbed bedding from the beds and threw rt down the stairway for others to get. In the ex ci tern ent of sending an alarm and endeavoring to save their belonging s, her absence was not noticed by the others until a few minutes later. Then rescuers tried to go up the stairs, but found that the bedding had effectually blocked the passage'way. Mrs. Col osky’s daughter, Anna, made numerous attempts te ascend the stairway to rescue her mother but those present held her and prevented the orobable Joss of two lives. After the fire in the smouldering ruins were extinguished the body, nearly cremated, was discovered shortly before noon The remains were unrecognizable. x NOTICE TO HEIRS, CREDITORS, ETC.

The seventh annual session of he Grand Assembly of the Hinlus, recently held in Benares vith 6,000 delegates from all iarts of the country, unaninnouSf adopted a resolution removing he ban against the "untouchibles’’with regard to schools, jublic wells, meeting places and temples. There are about 7,000,000 of ’his caste of Hindus who have •acrificed every opportunity of eading a healthy* decent, civilzed life through loyalty to their orefathers’ faith. To this fate >ther Hindus considered themselves polluted if they even •hanced to cross the shadow of me of these “depressed” caste. A curious feature, however, was the fact that as soon as one of hem accepted some other faith he was received as an equal by the most orthodox B rah a man. rhe action of the Grand Assembly is the first step toward breaking down the curse of caste that has held India down for more than a thousand years.

Relatively to its size, however, the kiwi, a strange wingless New Zealand species, is the champion, with an egg not less than five inches long, although the extreme length of the bird itself is only 27 inches. The smallest Birds’ eggs are those of the minuter species of humming birds. Nevertheless, the cuckoo lays the relatively smallest egg. ■ Though the jackdaw and the cuckoo are of the same size, the former’s egg is five to six times larger than the latter’s. Theefact that the cuckoo is accustomed to deposit its eggs in the nests of other birds, usually much smaller than itself, doubtless accounts for this phenomenon.
