A GRAVE MATrER.-A writer in the
Indianapolis Sentinel has ''cast gloom
over the entire community" by comput-
ing the cost of dying. He reckons that
terrestrial ball, of whom 43,445, 900 die
every year. 1t costs about el00 prop
erly to put away Christian; so II all
the world demanded Christian burial
the funerals would cost every year
about twice as much as our national
debt. And the worst of 1t is that all
this falls upon those that we leave be-
hind us; we never pay for our own
funerals. Something must be done.
We must either go in for cremation OF
give up first class funerals. To be sure
it will be hard on undertakers, and the
hackmen will mourn, but must we con-
tinue TO die that they must live? The
reform must be started, but where and

Dentistry i'm the United States,

That people are becoming aroused
upon the subject of teeth can be seen
from the employment of from IL 900 to
$4,000 dentists in our country alone,
who, according to the best authority, are
annually packing into cavities in teeth
no less than half ton of pure gold,
costing, owing to the great amount of
labor required to furnish it, about half
a million dollars, or one three-hundreth
part of all the gold in the United States.
Besides this, there. probably is in
weight four times as much cheaper ma
terial used for filling cavities in teeth,
costing about S150,000. In this country
there are annually made about three n1l-
lions of artificial teeth, mounted upon
plates of gold, vulcanite and platipa,
which contribute to keep the fingers of
this busy profession at work. What is
more wonderful is that not half of the
people avail themselves of theif valuable
services who need them, not only for
their health and happiness, but to main
tain beauty of form and complexion OF
the face. From statistics taken in
America, it has been ascertained that
out of an average of about eighty people
of all classes, as we find them, only one
can be found with perfect dental organs.
All the rest are troubled more or less
with decayed teeth.-Fdrrar'S Dental
Pdrlor Talks.

IS All Busted to Death, :"

About nine o'clock yesterday morning
boy ran up to policeman standing on
Monroe avenue, and called out in an ex-
cited voice:
"Come on-come down here-hurry
up
"What's the row, boy !" calmly in
quired the officer.
"Man busted all to death down here %
"Shoo !"
Yes'r! He drank two glasses of
soda water, and busted up like a biler
L stood right there and saw the whole
'splosion."
"Now, boy, you go back and see if
you were not mistaken" said the officer.
"If there's dead man there I'll go
down. See if the coroner is there, and
if any officers are around.
The boy ran back, and after being alb
sent about fifteen minutes he returned
at slouchy gait and explained:
81 got the facts a little mixed. The
fellow called for two glasses of soda, put
'em away as fast as he could, and then
didn't have any money to pay. 1 thought
the soda busted him up, but twas the
soda man who did it. He hauled off,
and he drew back, and he shut his jaws,
and he busted that stranger in memory
of rs. He just came to his senses as
got there,and he's rolling his eyes around
and sticking out his tongue and purtend
ing that he's made at least nine cents ou
O. the performance. You'd better gc
down and draw him in for forgery. -

Turkish Love of Water.

A Turk, writes q correspondent from
Constantiuople. thinks he can do nothing
so grateful to God and man as the set
ting up of fountain by the roadside or
in the streets Of the city, where the way
farer and his animals may appease their
thirst aud bless the name of bim who
provided for their wants. Often in my
travels in the interior of Turkey L have
halted beneath the shade Of wide
spreading plane tree to slake my thirst
at the limped waters of q marble fouu-
tain, and to repose from tue noon-day
heat.
There is always some edifyip9 distich
from the Koran, that "Wateris the gift
of God, blessed is he who distributes
tx" or That "Water is the source of life
and health" etc. Tue Turks are great
consumers of water, and they are good
Judges of it's quality aud nice in whit
they use. The favorite water that is
sold at para glass in the streets is
rom Asia; either from TchamEdja, on
tbe mountain above Scutari, or from
Karakoulak, some ten miles up the
Bosphorus. several miles inward from
Beicos.
This is brought to the landing in bar
rels. on horses backs, put in barges, and
ia this way carried to Coustantinople be-
lore daylight. Notwithstanding the
length of the journey, it is as pure as
crystal. The venders cry it as Bow7
guibi y "As good as ice" A pasha
will drain two large goblets at swallow.
As water is said to have fattening
properties, the large draughts they. take
of it may be the cause, in part, OF the
obesity to which both sexes OF the Turks
are subject.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

If you take temptations into ac-
count, who is to say he is better than his
neighbor?
Not great historical events, but Incl
dents that call up single, sharp pictures
of some human being, in its pang or
struggle, reach us most nearly.
Money buys air and sunshine, in
which children grow up more kindly, of
course, than in close, back streets; it
buys country places to give them good
nursing, and happy, healthful summers.
Friendship is of large signifca-
ton. BY friendship we mean the great
est love and the greatest stusefulness; and
the most open communication and the
noblest sufferings; and the most ex-
emplary faithfulness and the severest
truth.
With clear sky, bright sun and a
gentle breeze, you can have friends in
plenty; but let fortune frown and the
armament be overcast, and then your
friends will prove like the strings of a
lutte, of which you will tighten all before
you will find one that will bear the
stretch and keep the pitch.
Few people have reason to regret that
they have talked too little. Forbear to
sport an opinion ON subject of which
you are ignorant, especially in the pres
ence of those to whom It is familiar. If
it be not always in your power to speak
to the purpose, it certainly is to be silent;
and, though thousands have remembered
with pain their garruhty, few have rea-
son to repent their silence.

Sounding Truths.

Says the Reno (Nev.) Gazette Now,
we don't expect to check stock gambling
in the least, nor have we any desire to
interfere with any mans right to bet
his money, but there are, it seems to us,
few points upon which we may all
agree:
The man of family has no right to put
the comfort and support of his little
ones on q margin in the stock market.
Stocks that are half bought belong to
capitalists.
A dollar in the store is worth two in
the stock market.
Every man may own the controlling
interest in home (; very few can contro
mines.
Shares in homestead always pay divi
dends.
No man can win unless another lose
When one covetous man gets rich, on,
hundred get poor. 1t is always best t.
be slow and sure, and let well enougl
alone.

About Diamonds.

Diamonds are found as little round
pebbles, covered with thin, brownish
crust, and semi transparent. When this
brown coating is taken off they are color
less, but some are found tinged with red,
orange, yellow, brown or black. Those
without any color are the most valuable,
and called "diamonds of the first water,
Diamonds were first found in India and
the Island of Borneo. The most cele-
brated mines in India are those of Col
conda and Roalcondal. But most of
these stones imported into Europe and
America now come from Brazil, where
they were first discovered in 1928. The
art of cutting diamonds was discovered
by Louis Won Berquen, of Bruges, in
1456. 1t is now principally carried on
by Hebrews at Amsterdam. Perhaps
the most precious diamond in the world
is the "Pitt diamond" which was
bought in 1743 by the regent Duke of
Orleans, who paid $675, 900 for it. The
stone is now valued at $1,000.000. The
cutting occupied two years, and reduced
the weight from 41O to 1856 carats. The
Empress Catherine paid $3.50, 900 and a
large annuity for diamond weighing
l94 carats, and about as large as a
pigeons egg.

Struggle With q Bear.

The Sonora (Cal.) Democrat relates
the following: Last Saturday sheep
be.der named Asa Simmons went INTO a
corral near Leavitt's, on the other side
of the summit, and there met very
large cinnamon bear, which Immediately
attacked him. Simmons drew his revol-

A PrinceIy Filtration.


Olive Logan writes in the San Fran
cisco Call: At last the Princess of
Wales has returned to England from
her long visit to her brother the king of
Greece. IT is rumored, however, that
she will not be here long, that she con-
templates protracted stay at her
fathers court in Denmark. Time will
show whether that is the true report or
not, though whether time will also re-
veal the truth of another report is-as
princes and princesses do not take the
general public into their confidence
far more doubtful. 1t is said that the
prince and princess have had row ;
that he lately hirted overmuch with the
Countess of Qet us call herr Blank, and
that Alexandra roundly declared that
she would not stand it any longer. SO,
ere she quilted England, she had Gas l
think I told you before) a convenient
cold, which kept her at home from sun
dry of the family royal entertainments,
and before the useful indisposition had
had time to get thoroughly cured she
turned her back upon her spouse and
went off to Athens just as fast as she
could get there. Most likely it is all a
got-up story, as were those thrilling
histories which, soon after our Princess
Royals marriage, were SO frequently
manufactured of how the crown prince
used to beat his wife and how Prince
Albert had to be sent over to Berlin to
the rescue. Married people, royal ones
inclusive, will have tiffs sometimes-and
oh, how dull conjugal existence would be
if it were not varied now and then with q
o,.fo I
the,Prince of Wales resemblance in face,
figure and, it is said, morals, to his
royal predecessor and far distant rela-
tive, the eighth Henry, grows more
striking. The royal Tudor of six wives
memory was, as all readers of English his
tory know, terribly given to the tender
passion, but in these correcter days not
even king or prince can send better half af-
ter better half to the scaffold or divorce
court, and therefore Albert Edward is
able to indulge in nothing more hurtful,
however aggravating, than firtations.
Possession is nine points OF the law,
and thus Alexandra has clearly the ad-
vantage over every countess or other
female rival, be she ever so fascinating.
There is also report that the Duchess
of Edinburgh has been too much inter.
fered with (by a certain distinguished
personage) in her household concerns
in her private expenditures, etc., and
has taken rlmbrage thereat, all of which
demonstrates clearly the fact that roya
mothers-in-law strongly resemble Other
mothers-in-law. Any way it is grea'
comfort to us commoners to think tha
royal people have their trials as well q:
other folks, which truism reminds one o
what Thackeray once said-namely
that it is always easy for us to bear the
misfortunes of others.

Waking I'D Grizzlies.

Texas Jack writes from the wilds of
Wyoming Territory: 81 came near
getting INTO scrape with two grizzly
bears the day before yesterday. One of
the Englishmen and myself saw them at
a distance and headed them off with .our
ponies. When we came up they were
both lying asleep under the shade of a
scrubby pine. The ponies were SO
frightened that I had to hold to them
while he shot, One fell dead, but the
other made for us. My horse wheeled.
I fired and struck him just as he was
coming up to my friend. The shot stop
ped him, but he recovered soon, and we
had a lively time rushing around
through the brush for a little while
He eventually hid and we lost him !;
but the other ones skin is lying in
camp, and don't think the Englishr dan
will want to see any more bear very

Queer Friendship of a Cat and Horse.

When Mr.. Huntington removed from
East Bloomfield to this city, says the
Rochester On. W Express Of recent
date, a white cat was left upon his
premises there. This cat had been q
great pet with two little boys of the
family, and cried so much about the old
place, missing the boys, that Mr.. Fl.
broug ght her up to the city. During
the spring he also brought the stallion
Narragansett here, whom the cat at once
recognized as an old acquaintance, hav-
ing been accustomed to daily visit his
box stall when in the country, TO watch
for mice about his feed box, or for q
quiet nap, and in due time the two be-
came warm friends. Upon the arrival
of Narragansett at Mr.. II. s stable here
the cat at once renewed her daily visits
to his box, at which the horse seemed
pleased.
Last Monday evening the cat troubled
the family by continual crying, refusing
food, until at last Mr.. II. said she
wanted to get into the barn, which was
proved the moment Mr.. 81. started for
it. Immediately in the barn the cat
went to where Narragansett stood, max
ing for herself q nest in front of his fore
feet, under his head, and expressed her
comfort bN her quiet. AS Mr.. H. re-
turned to the house the barn was left
open in case the cat wished to come again
to the house. In the morning as Mr.. H.
went to his horse, there was still puss,
as comfortable as could be, close to the
feet of Narragansett, together with q
little family of five, and the horse evi.
IDENTIFY aware there was something by
his foot he would hurt should he steI
about much. The cat seems to have nc
fear, but gees and comes as she likes,
while Narragansett, by way of amuse.
ment, will often put his head down tc
the little family as if to inquire how they
are all getting along. Should the old
cat happen to be there during these fire.
quent Inspections she manifests no un-
easiness, while should any children ol
strangers disturb by look even Kittie
would soon hide her little family, as she
frequently has, in some new place.

A White Army.

An English correspondent with the
Russian army invading Bulgaria says
"The white caps showed in dense
mass among the willow trees of the
Argis it was as if mighty host was
pouring through the little plain SO far,
stretched the concourse of stalwart
soldiers. This army is a white army
now, white to the last shred, save facings
and boots. Officers and men wear a
loose white canvas blouse which is the
I,erfection of campaigning garment for
warm weather. The white of it is not
SO pronounced as to dazzle in the sun
shine, nor do the dust OF the roads and
the stains of the bivouac foul it into
absolute dinginess. 1t can be washed
and dried in an hour"

Appetite is necessity. Without it, sufficient
food is not received into the stomach, either to
noursh the system or to give the stimulus to
organs and the liver become torpid in con-

therefore, and avoid such results. This is
most effectually done with Hostetter'

Frederick Douglass Consented.

Frederick Douglass consented to the ar
rangement that he should mot oficiate at
the White House, on public occasions, as
other marshals had, before President
Hayes appointed him: so we are told 10
defence of Mr.. Hayes, for putting such
an ignOminy on the whole colored race
We do not think this defence avails Mr..
Hayes in the least. Douglass was born a
slave and brought up a slave, and often
through all his early life he was subjected
to still greater indignities; but his submis
sion constituted no justification whatever
of his former owners and masters. Even
if Douglass was the first to propose his own
abasement, and that Of his race, it does
not tighten the responsibility of the presi-
dent de fdcto in becoming party to an
act which sent the whole colored race reel
ing back in the direction of slaverJ-the
severest blow dealt them since the war
The course now to be pursued by the
colored people in reference to Mr., Hayes
