I suppose it is quite safe to conclude that that fire-bug is in holy orders.
Close to the cremation-ground stand a few time-worn stones which are remembrances of the suttee.

Each has a rough carving upon it, representing a man and a woman standing or walking hand in hand, and marks the spot where a widow went to her death by fire in the days when the suttee flourished.

Mr.Parker said that widows would burn themselves now if the government would allow it.

The family that can point to one of these little memorials and say: "She who burned herself there was an ancestress of ours," is envied.
It is a curious people.

With them, all life seems to be sacred except human life.
