MERIDES, Conn, August 1.-THE
funeral Of rs Of those killed by the tor
nado in Wallingford took place to-day.
Ten thousand people were present and
fully 1900 carriages. The services were
conducted by Rev. Father Leo, Of Win
stead, assisted by three other Catholic
clergymen. The jam was immense and
the scene one of great sadness. The Gem
ctery was surrounded by local com
pany, the National Guards and 120 spe-
cial officers The interments were
made in fifteen graves. All the dead,
except Frederick Littlewood, were OF
the Catholic religion, and the diocese
will take prompt measures to aid the
suff ring survivors, relatives. People
Of all denominations are contributing
generously.
Several persons badly wounded re-
main in the Town Hall, of whom Rich.

went sailing over the plain toward the
hill. crumbling into fragments as they
went.
In the path Of the gale stood the Ro-
man Catholic Church, hemmed in on
three sides by cemetery. The storm,
TO judge from the appearance Of the
ruin as II looked to-day, plowed into
the foundations, pressing them away
from the framework. Then the walls,
front and back, were crushed In, and
the roof fell 50 as to cover all complete
ly. A more complete wreck than this
church could not have been made. ex-
cept BY fire. Opposite the church were
several little tenements, all occupied by
large families. When the gale had
passed, nothing remained to indicate
that there had been houses there, ex-
cept the gaping cellars and line Of
splinters leading into other lines chat at
last met in an unbroken covering to the
ground Of broken joists, fences, kitchen
utensils, and clothing.
In this spot, an eighth of mile on
each side Of and opposite to the Catho.
lie Church,
THE GREAT LOSS or LIFE OCCURRED.
1t is remarkable fact that every per-
son killed was member Of the Catho-
lie Church. In one of the houses lived
Mrs. Downs, a middle-aged woman.
She was whirlcd away GOO feet, and
picked up dead and almost naked.
A hay-stack on John Lynch's farm
was carried an eighth Of a mile, and then
dropped upon the side of the hill.
All this destruction was done in much
less time than il takes TO write it. With
appalling violence the wind swept up
the hill towards Main Street, whirling
and eddying about, and dropping a
shower OF rubbish on the tobacco-fields
below. Where it touched the brow OF
the hill, the district school-hcuse stood
in its path. The edifice cost $4,000 in
1870, and was fine brick building OF
three stories and Mansard roof. The
wind struck upon its west front, pushed
in the walls Of the two upper stories,
wRENCHED HUGE PIECES FROM THE
WALL
and lung them into the ward and then
passed on. In an instant the building
was ruined Two stories stand, but
they are pushed out of perpendicular so
completely that they will never be
Strengthened.
Looking back from the school-house
toward the westward, about so feet be.
low, at the end Of a steep slope, is the
plain, covered with its carpeting of de-
bris. The entire work of devastation In
that direction could be seen, plain
windrow, half mile in width in its wild
est part, and in that dreadful lane there
were only two or three houses that still
chung together at all. and these SO badly
twisted, tilted, and defaced that it will
be difficult ever to rebuild them. The
loss is estimated at S250.000.
THE SCENES IN wALLINGFORD
to-day were heartrending, and amman
ned the strongest spectators. A brick
school-house was used as dead-house
and around this the thousands gather
ed, many searching for relatives ant
friends, and many curious to see Thu
dead. Not less than 10000 people flock
ed into the ruined village from all thu
surrounding country. Twenty-Five
fmibes are homeless, and relief sub
SC ,,tion fund has been started, headed
by Gov. Hubbard with 500. Ever,
thing possible is being done for the sui
ferers. Such tornado is almost un
precedented in this section.

A Natural CURIOSITY.

The agate covers large areas of the
Middle Park, Colorado, scattered over
the surface in chips and larger frag-
ments, and occurring, also, in massive
ledges. Only very small percentage
of it. however, contains the curious and
delicate capitalization of iron known
as moss. Curious notions prevail re-
latiye to this substance. Formerly it
was common opinion that the 'moss"
was fixed in the stone by Photographic
process, and L have often been shown
specimens which the finders averred
contained faithful pictures of clumps of
bushes, groves of trees or an extended
landscape visible from the point where
they were picked up. The agate is hard,
tough and susceptible of high polish.
Specimens are valued according to the
perfection and beauty of the moss
clusters contained and the clearness O
the stone apart from the moss. The
great agate field is south of the Grand
and west of Williams river, on a high
sage plain. Ii is six or eight miles In
length, and nearly as great in width,
though agates are not found all over
this area. 1t has been culled and picked
over by hundreds of people, and thou
sands of jewels worn 10 day all over the
United States bear settings from this
''agate patch" Some agates are found
north of the Grand river and directly
and the largest and finest
specimen / ever saw was picked up
there in 1868. There is an agate patch
or several of them, small in extent
on the divide between Troublesome
river and Corral creek, north of the
Grand. Two or three years ago small
deposit of them was found near Fraser
river in the eastern edge of the park,
not far from where the Berthoud pass
and Rollins wagon roads come together.
In all the localities thus far described
the "moss" is black or dark brown-the
usual color. Near Grand river, on the
north side, and about three miles west

where red moss agates are found-that
is, the "moss" is red, or reddish brown
instead of black. Nearly opposite across
the river, near Beaver creek, is another
"patch" of the same kind. Red moss
agates are very rare and curious. No
search has ever been made in any of
these loca lilies beneath the natural stlr.
face OF the ground for valuable agates.

ments of stone that showed the moss

A Mother-In-Law.

The Caffre name for etiquette is hlo-
nipa; there is an etiquette of the fam
lily, an etiquette of the tribe, and,
among the Zulus, an advanced people
an etiquette of the nation. The wo-
men must not mention the name OF
their father-in-law, and they hide or
pretend to hide when they meet their
son-in-law. 1t used to be the custom
at Eton for boys TO ''shirk" when they
met a master out of bounds. Sinking
was a mere legal fiction; a stout boy
might hide behind slim lamp-post,
and the master was bound to behave
cealed. In the same way if Zulu
lady encountered her sOn-in-law in a
place where there is no cover, she
"hlonias" or ''shirks" by tying piece
of grass around her head, as a sign that
she complies with custom and is in fact
invisible. There may be married men
i'm civilized countries who would like
to see primitive etiquette revived.
They could endure to be deprived of
the society of their mother-in-law, and
would be glad to see these ladies
''hlOnipa" behind a curtain or under a
sofa when they enter a room. One can
hardly believe, however, that the mod
ern aversion to mothers-in-law is the
cause of the primitive etiquette. A
Zulu who did not like his wife's mo-
ther would probably give her gentle
hint with assegai that her company
was not wanted.

Where the Angels fingered.

a little girl, with tangled locks peep
ing from under calico hood, clad in a
dress of chintz, loitered behind as the
great dusty crowd moved out of the
gates of Mount Adna, after they had
scattered their flower and done honor to
the dead. Dreamily she gazed after
them, her eyes filled with a far away
look of tenderness, until the last one
had disappeared and the rattle of the
drums had died away. Then she turn
ed and vaguely scanned the mounds
that rose about her, clutching still
tighter the fast fading bunch of dande-
lions and grave grass that her chubby
hand held. An old man passed by and
gently patted her curly head as he
spoke her name, but she only shrank
back still further, and when he told a
passing stranger that the little ones
father was one who died on shipboard
and was buried at sea, there was only a
tear drop in the chill's eye to tell that
she heard or knew the story. When
they were gone she moved on further
TO a neglected, empty lot, and kneeling
down she piled up mound of earth,
whispering as she patted it down and
smOothed it with her chubby hand !:
''This won't be so awfully big as the
others, | guess, but may be it'll be big
enough so that God will see it and think
that papa is buried here" Carefully
she trimmed the sides with the stray
grasses she plucked, murmuring on /:
And may be it will grow so that it
will be like the rest in two or three
years; and then may be papa will come
back and''-But she paused As it sud-
denly dawned upon her young mind
that he rested beneath the waves. and
the tear drops that sprang to her eyes
moistened the little bunch of dande-
lions that she planted among the grass
es on the mound she had reared. When
the sexton passed that way at night as
he went to close the gates, he found the
little one fast asleep, with her head
pillowed on the mound.
