During the hot weather the travel to this
city by boat was extraordinarily large. But
since the cool days have come it has fallen
otftremendously and the Brandywine which
was the objective point for the picnic par
ties, now bears deserted appearance. But
the travel to Philadelphia is on the increase
and the boats in this way make up for a
great deal that is missed on the down
trip.

How Heads First Came to be
Cropped.

Previous to the time of Francis l.,
the French mobiles had worn their hair
long; the cause of this change Of fash
ion forms a curious chapter in the his
tory Of modes. On Twelfth Day, or
tejotr des rois, the court being then at
Romorantin, the King was informed
that the Comte de st. Paul, following
an ancient custom, had made in his
house king of the bean. Upon which
Francis gathered about him all his cour-
tiers and informed them that he should
place himself at their head and lay
slege to the counts house to dethrone
this king. st. Paul, made aware of his
coming, prepared for his defense, and
caused his people to bring within doors
a large number Of snowballs, and
gather all the apples, eggs, and other
tnings that would serve as proiectiles
they could find. The assault com
menced, but very soon the besieged had
exhausted their ammunition; in the ex-
citement OF the moment some one took
up burning log from the hearth and
cast 1t through the window. 1t fell up
on the kings head, inAicting a severe
wound. The physician found it neces-
sary TO cut his hair closes to his head.
From that time he allowed his beard to
grow. A few weeks afterwarh every
Pretender TO fashion, whether Of court
OF Town, appeared with beard and crop
ped hair.

A Royal Funeral In Egypt.

The Khedive of Egypt recently bur
led his favorite daughter, Princess
Hanem Zeinub, who was but Is years
old, and the wife of Ibrahim Pasha.
She died of typhus fever-a likely
cause considering the character of the
Nile regions in the warmer seasons of
the year. The ceremonies attending the
funeral were certainly imposing, if
large concourse of Moslem priests and
people, the scattering of money from
treasury which few months since was
declared bankrupt and deeply in debt,
and the butchery of oxen, followed by
big exhibition of gormandizing, suffice
for the creation of an impression. The
Cologne Gazette thus describes the de-
monstration:
''The Khedive and his family, as we'll
as his guest, the Sultan of Zanzibar,
and the whole city Of Alexandria, were
much disturbed by the sad event, and
the theater was closed for three days.
The body was taken to Cairo the same
day, and placed in the Kasrel-Nile pal
ace. An immense concourse followed
the body to the depot in Alexandria,
and hundreds of thousands of lire we're
distributed among the poor people.
The interment took place in the Rilah
mosque on the following morning.
Twenty-four bullocks, 80 camels, and
20 wagons were in the funeral process
sion. These animals were laden with
bread, dates, cooked meats and vegeta-
bles; the wagons carried casks of water
and syrup, and all along the route dis
tribution of the provisions was made to
the poor. Eunuchs, meantime, threw
450, 900 pieces of silver coin to the peo-
pie who thronged the street. Three
thousand priests, some clad in rich
vestments of gold and silk, others half
naked. followed the wagons repeating
prayers as they marched, and clapping
their hands. After them came the fam
lily of the poor young Princess, and the
high officials of State, aud then the cof-
fin, borne by officers of rank. Behind
this walked three eunuchs, bearing on
golden shovels copies of the Koran, to
be buried with the deceased. The cof-
fin was of simple rough hewn wood,
and the corpse wBs sewn up in linen
cloth. Upon the coffin were placed the
jewels of the Princess, worth 81 ,500,-
900. After the burial the priests
slaughtered the "a bullocks before the
mosque, roasted them, and ate them up.
The priests remained in the neighbor-
hood of the grave to pray for the soul
of the departed. The Khedive was so
overcome with grief that he could not
receive any visits of coincidence.
Contrast this with funeral OF Chris
tian civilization, and even the expen-
siveness of its furnishing by the fash
ionable undertaken seems chaste and far
more appropriate.
