Es-Dr. Voolfolk, of Lexington, KY, says that
the present mild winter weather is owing to the
bombardment of Plevna. His theory is that heavy
canOnading draws the Arctic currents to the place
of firing, taking with them cold weather and great
snOwfalls and giving to the other part of the world
pleasant weather and no snow. Perhaps.

re- The exhavagance and folly of costly fu-
nerals for poor people have been rebuked by one
of the "Pauist Fathers in New York The
preacher contrasts the pomp observed in the last
rites in honor of an obscure person with The sim
pie burial of Christ HIMSELF and denounces the
practice of arraying corpse Gin garments which
vie in extravaganza and fashion with those of the
theatre and the ballroom" And he Justly says
that ''to make dead body an object about which
to display earthly vanity and pride is to defie
that which is decent" The Paulst's idea is that
money expended in this way would far better be
laid out in the purchase of "masses for the repose
of the soul of the deceased. How would it do, the
Golden Rule asks, to expend it in bread or COM
forts for the living family?
