Russian Funerals.

Much as | dislike funerals, have had
to see many, and of all kinds, but none,
except at times, in the form of the Epis-
copal church, are to me so beautiful or
so pleasant as these Russian funerals.
The Presbyterian form is too cold, too
black, too still. We bury our dead too
much as if we were trying to draw les
son from the dead, and as if we doubted
where the soul had gone. The Catholic
service is too grandiose. There is fine
music, but the ceremony is too long and
too entirely confined to the officiating
priest. In the Russian church every one
seems to be taking part in the service,
and the dead are treated with tender
ness and love not elsewhere found. The
bows and prostrations, the tapers in each
ones hands, the kissing the hands, the
earth thrown in the coffin with its beau
tiful symbolic meaning, are marks of af-
fectionate respect, as well as the carrying
of the coffin and the earth thrown into
the grave by the hands of the friends
and relatives. There are no black pals,
no double co6ins or burial caskets, no
horrible screwing down of the lid. "Dust
thou art, to dust must thou return" is a
truth which man here does not attempt
to evade. AS / said above, every cere-
mony and every repetition here tends to
make us realize the fact Of death, with
out destroying any of its sanotity.
My thoughts and reflections have de-
tanned me long, and the funeral pro-
cession which gave rise to them has
passed my window long since, and the
church bells are silent.-Bugese Schuyler,
in STibner.

Small Things.

In the animal kingdom are found myri-
ads Of forms 70 minute that their bulk
s reckoncd by less than the millionth
part Of cubic inch, ye, each one Is en-
d0Wed With organs Of sense or Assimila-
ton Sufficient a. serve the purpose in
their sphere of life. The vegetable king
dom. slso, offers abundant specimens of
microscopic forms, calculated 30 excite
oar admiration 10y the beauty and mi-
uuieness Of their organisms. sich Is
notably the case in several forms Of
Dia'0maosR. The stfiAtcd markings Of
PleVrosigma fasc,ols aggregate % $4,000
10 the inch. while AmpAspleurd PelIuelda
often exhibits striR exceeding 100000 to
the liBeal inch. And yet the skeleton Of
these minute organisms are composed
mainly OF silex, the slick again being
made up Of silicon and oxygen. Not
wiih,tan ling the almost iniinitesimal
magnitudes Of the organic world, human
skill Is able 10 compete in the matter OF
minuteness. Platinum wire has been
drawn so fine as to rival in minuteness
the smallest fibre of the spiders web.
Gold has been deposited upon the sur
face of other metals, and drawn to such
extreme thinness that thOusandmil-
lionth part of grain exhibited the WIS.,
ible characteristics of the metal. The
oscillations Of the horizontal pendulum
can be measured to the one eighty-mil-
ionth part Of an inch, by the aid of a
small mirror, beam of light, and a
graduated scale for reading the vibra-
tions. Nobert, with a mechanical skill
unsurpassed, has repeatedly ruled with
a diamond point upon glass the nine,
teenth band of his test-plate, consisting of
lines less than the one one-hundred and
twelve-t -thousandth of an inch apart, and
it is claimed that he has succeeded in
ruling plates covering 224,000 lines per
inch, such as would aggregate in super
fetal areas to over $4,000, ,000,000 to the

How A PEDESTRIAN LIvEs.-Miss
Won Hillern, when preparing for walk,
rises at five A. NJ, eats two raw eggs, and
walks ten miles, returning to her bath
and hearty breakfast ofrare beef, boiled
potatoes, oat meal and stale bread. After
this she rests until one o'clock, when she
takes a fifteen n.mile walk, dining on roast
beef and potatoes, following with a light
tea, and retiring at ten p. M, under all
circumstances. During her walks she
relies entirely on beef tea and the raw
yolksof eggs for nourishment, quenching
her thirst with seltzer and prune water.

MARRY THE WoMAN.-Some mer
marry dimples, some eyes, a few ears
the mouth, too, is occasionally married
the chin not so often. A young man
once fell h"ad over heels and ears in love
with braid. He was so far gone that he
became engaged to his braid, but new
mode of hairdressing having been
adopted by his fiance, the charm was dis.
solved and never renewed. What dc
young men marry Why they marry
these and many other bits and scraps Of
a wife, instead of true woman. And
then, after the wedding, sthey are sur
prised to find that although married
they have no wives. He that would have
a wife must marry woman.

Handling Hops.

Both the quality and value of hops are
impaired if leaves and stems are mingled
with them. Pick each hop singly and
separate the clusters. Set apart or re-
ject all discolored, poor and rust-smitten
hops, and wherever this is impossible,
thoroughly mix the whole pile before
baling, to secure uniform quality. Never
pack green and brown hops together, un-
less you want to injure the value of your
goods. Be very careful in drying your
hops. Those too much dried or scorched
loose their rich flavor and aroma, while
those not sufficiently dried will heat
when baled and become worthless. Bale
on rainy day, as the hops are then most
pliable and pack better. Let each bale
be neat and trim; for in hops, as in but
ter, bad packages lower the price Of the
best of goods. Well pressed bales sam
pie better, while in those compressed so
tightly as to exclude air the hops are
quite likely to heat, especially if slack
dried. Mark your name in full plainly
on the narrow side, near the top of each
bale, with stencil plate and turpentine
mixed with lamp-black, and be sure to
put the date of growth on every bale.
Just before shipping, especially to a great
distance, make certain that the goods are
in proper condition to bear transporta-
tion, by examining the center of each
bale with "trier." In prudence, as well
as from honesty, resist the temptation to
mix old hops with those of this years
growth buyers are neither rash nor mex
perienced, and such an attempt at decep-
tion is pretty sure to recoil on the Of
tenders. s.-RuraL Ne,o Yorker.

OF each one, in order to hold the water,
then drop them about twelve inches apart
and go along with forked stick to push
them in, and then we are done until dig
ging time. Our digging time comes off
In September, and, in fact, we can have
yams at almost any time, as we can plant
at any time. On new pine land yams
will yield from 100 to 800 bushels. They
are selling at 81 per bushel, and never
lower than IS cents, and think it will
pay well to raise them. Horses, cows
and hogs eat them as we'll as corn, and
they are an easy crop raised"
