Funeral Customs.

Custom is quite as powerful among the
humble as among the high indeed, the edu-
Gated classes are, as rule, the first to init
ate the new order of things. Thus, for sew
eral years there has been in this country a
steadily growing dis,aste among the higher
classes for funeral pomp and display, but
among those who can least afford it most
preposterous expenditure continues to be
made in the interest of the undertakers and
hack-owners. This is especially the case
among Irish Catholics, although to do their
clergy justice, they have again and again
demonstrated with their fiocks against such
foolish prodigality, but blow has now been
struck at this folly by Father Hennessey. of
Jersey City, for which he deserves the high
est credit A few days since an old lady
named O'Rourke died, and Father Hennessey
gave notice that he should strictly enforce
his diocesan order that not more than twelve
coaches should accompany the .hearse. He
should accompany the hearse. He was as
good as good as his word, and several coaches
were reluctantly discharged. Referring to
the subject on Sunday evening, he said that
in nine cases out of ten this absurdity left
families without enough to eat. and be pro-
posed to put stop to it. In England, Car
dinal Manning has taken vigorous action in
the matter, and does not permit funerals in
his diocese to take place on Sunday. If other
prelates and priests will follow the New
Jersey lead there will be speedy termina-
ton to this funeral folly.

Ireland.

Here are some figures about Ireland. In
1916 there were 8.250,0O0 people on the
island. In AZ, the year of the famine, the
population was 8,025, ,274; in 1875 it was
1903, ,494, and in II it was 5,3S8, ,906. Since
1851 there has been decrease in farms un-
der 10 acres and an increase of holdings over
Is acres. In rs there were 81, 149 patches
of acre, 69,098 of from to acres, 166,-
959 from to Is acres. and 137, $3.50 farms of
from Is to 80 acres. In Al there were 401,-
278 mud huts of but single room each; in
II they had decreased two-thirds. There
are fewer paupers in Ireland than in England,
Scotland or Wales. In England every 33 of
the population contain 1 pauper; in Wales
the same proportion holds good in Scotland
there is one in every So, while in Ireland
there is but one in every 68 of the population
There is also much less crime in Ireland than
in England in proportion to the population.
In 76 four persons were sentenced to death
in the former country, while thirty-two were
sentenced in the latter country; for crimes
for which the penalty was imprisonment for
life the numbers were so and 280 respective
ly. The proportion of minor offenses is
much larger in England than in Ireland.

A lady who has seen seventeen years of
service in the United States Treasury denies
the statement made in various quarters that
employment was first given to women on the
impulses of the rebellion, when the widows,
sisters and daughters of the deceased officers
were pressed into the public service as mat
ter of need and gratitude. She says: "The
truth is that the women had to be employed
to count, sign and arrange the greenbacks
which were issued to meet the emergencies
of the war. After the first war loan was eff
fected the ladies were kept at work till after
midnight signing the crisp new notes, which
did more than the sword in putting down the
rebellion. Then the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau was organized, and it was matter of
economy to employ hundreds of women at
$50 month and leave the large salaries for
men. 1t is no child's work to perform the
duties in the departments. 1t is to get to the
Office every day, in all kinds of weather and
at all seasons, and to be closely confined from
8 to o'clock. $500 is the salary, with one
here and there who is fortunate enough by
long years of responsibility and hard labor
to be promoted to 81, 900 or 1890.

How Children Learn.

An excellent instance of the way in hich
the children in the average public school learn
without learning is related by Barnes Edu.
cational Monthly. A teacher in one of our
public schools has been accustomed to require
her pupils to say: ''The equator is an i'm
agipary line passing around the earth" etc.
1t never occurred to her that the boys and
girls in her school had no idea what an i'm
aginary line meant, until one day visitor
asked them how wide they thought the equa-
tor is. Some thoug bit it was 5000 miles wide,
others 1000. and others said they could jump
over it. The visitor then asked how they
thought ships got over it, One pupil said he
thought they got out and drew them over, and
another said he had read that canal had
been dug through it. ''What is the name of
this canal? ?" was asked. 1.-THE Suez Canal" }"

Marbled Beef,
lSt, Louis POst-Dispatch. |

(St. Louis Dispatch
Americans have succeeded in producing
beef sufficiently fat to meet the demands of
any market Unfortunately, however for
the quality of the beef, the fat and lean are
not well distributed. The fat is in huge
masses and is useless as human food Speci-
mems of finely marbled beef are rarely found
in this country. Undoubtedly our method of
feeding beef cattle causes the absence of ''the
streak of fat and streak of lean" that are so
desirable. Our animals are for the most part
fattened on corn, which produces a large
amount of hard tallow, that is deposited in
masses outside the flesh. The best marble
beef is produced by cattle being fed on rich,
tender grasses. The best beef known in the
London market comes from the mountain
regions of Scotland and Ireland, where the
cattle have little or no grain. It was at one
time thought that the breed Of the cattle
raised in these regions. was the cause of the
marbled appearance and of the prime flavor
Of the meat. II now seems to be settled that
the superiority of this beef is due to the Pc
culiar feed of the animals. Corn produces
an abundance of fat, but it is not fat of the
right kind and is not deposited in the right
places. 1t Is likely that we have made too
much use of corn in production not only of
beef, but of pork and mutton.

What 10 Drink In Summer.
New York Times.l

A great deal of harm to health and many
deaths result, as everybody knows, from in.
judicious use of cold liquids to quench thirs,
during our blazing summers. Persons ex-
posed to the heat, especially those hard at
work, can not or will not refrain from drink
ing, for they feel the need Of supplying the
waste from copious perspiration. What, then,
shall they drink? Water seems, under the
circumstances, to be inadequate to the wants
OF the system. 1t passes through the circula-
ton to the skin as through sieve, and flows
over the surface in streams. A big drink of
cold, or even of cool water on an empty
stomach is very dangerous; it is liable to
produce sudden death. The danger may be
avoided, it is said, by putting farinaceous
substances, particularly oat meal, with the
water to be drank by laborers, the proper
proportion being three or four ounces of
meal to gallon of water. Why oatmeal
should be better than rye, millet, buckwheat
or corn-meal, can not easily be determined
but those who have used oatmeal, especially
hremen, coal beavers, and the like, say that
it gives them greater endurance and increases
their strength. This may be mere notion,
but the peculiar aroma of the oats may be so
associated with an agreeable stimulation of
the allmentary mucous surface as to promote
complete digestion. The meal appears to
tll the blood vessels without increasing the
cutaneous eXhalations. Workmen who have
tried acid, saccharine or alcoholic drinks
have invariably expressed unsatisfactory re-
suits. Water with oatmeal seems to be by
all odds the most wholesome and desirable
summer drink for manual laborers.

AGE OF THE HUMAN RACE
Professor Paige Predicts a Free ze of Six.
teen Thousand Years

In lecture recently at Lake View. ILL.,
Professor Paige developed, among man,
other strong theories, the rapidly growing
belief that the great ice period that grounC
the rocks into soil had been attributed to 6
time too remote in the earths history. He
said it had been the quite universally accept.
ed opinion that the great ice crops were
formed by climate rendered cold by reason
of charged cosmic relations. 1t was known
that the eccentricity of the earth's path
around the sun was subject, at long periods,
to considerable change, resulting in carrying
the earth from the sun some fifteen millions
OF miles further at times than now. The
earth's great aphelion, together with changed
conditions attributed to the procession of the
equinox, was believed to have produced the
great periods of ice in the past
From this standard of reckoning. Clifford
claims man to have been on earth 2. 900, 900
years. The Professor said he believed the
modern tendency of thought was in favor of
different view. During the winter in our
northern hemisphere, we are $4,000, 900 miles
nearer to the sun than in summer. This helps
to equalize our climate. rendering the winters
much more mild and the summers heat far
less than it would be if the conditions were
reversed. In the southern hemisphere the
exact reverse state of conditions exists. They
are nearer the sun in summer and further off
in winter
They have cold winters and hot summers
AT the south pole there is vast excess of ice
over that of the north pole. The vast accum-
ulation of ice at the south pole attracts the
waters of the ocean, changing the equilib-
rum of the earth's center, moving the equa-
tor to the south, drawing off the waters of
the north pole toward the south pole. This
accounts for the clearly noticeable subsidence
of waters in the north, and for the fact that
there is but little dry land in the southern
hemisphere.
If the ages of ice can be charged up to
these causes. a glacial period is approaching
in the southern hemisphere, and will be at its
greatest height in about $500 years. The
last period of ice in the northern hemisphere
is also of equally recent date, occurring prob
ably about 5000 years ago. The lecturer was
of opinion that, if these recent views proved
there would be recurrence of the
ice period in about 16, 900 years in the north
ern hemisphere. This view wouldalso shorten
The time of mans existence on the globe. 1t |
was prot ably safe to say that man had not |
existed more than $4,000 or 100000 years.

How to Succeed In Life.

Culture, practice, habit, voluntary energy,
and determined effort, long persisted in,
end in becoming spontaneous, involuntary,
almost unconscious achievement. Not with
out labor, but through labor, must we attain
the best results. The tree that rises to the
greatest height, and spreads its protecting
boughs over the largest surface, strikes its
roots the deepest and frmest into the solid
earth; and the most exalted intuitions, the
purest spontaniety of feeling, and the most
instructive excellence of action, will always
be found to have sprung from the deepest
roots of persistent effort, answering energy
and wise culture.

MILITARY SIGNALLING.
An Invention Which Supercedes the Eel.

mot be MOIested by the
Enemy.

The London Daily Neacs states that the
nave to thank the heliograph again for 81
important message received from Genera
stewart, and announcing the result of an at
tack on the British troops, in which the en-
emy seems to have suffered severely. Th,
message is dated Camp Ghuzni, April 90, an(
was received at the India Office on the fol
lowing day. 1t is very probable that tht
news could not have been brought so speedily
by electric telegraph. The heliograph does
not require the route to be kept open. The
line OF communication cannot be cut. for the
simple reason that the signalling takes place
over the heads of the enemy, and the sta.
tons required are but few and far between.
ten-inch mirror-and this is the diameter
of the ordinary field heliograph-is capable
OF rejecting the suns rays, in the form of a
bright spot or flare, to a distance of fifty
miles, the signal at this interval being recog-
nizable without the aid of glass. This is to
say, two trained sappers, each provided with
mirror, can speak to one another, supposing
the sun is shining, with an interval of fifty
miles between them, provided their stations
are sufficiently high and no rising ground in
tervenes to stop the rays. The adjustment of
the military heliograph is very simple mat
ter An army leaves its base, where hello
graph station is located, and after travelling
some miles desires to communicate with the
stay -at-homes A hill in the locality is chosen,
and a sapper ascends with his heliograph,
which is simply stand bearing a mirror
swung like the ordinary toilet looking glass,
except that besides swinging horizontally it is
also pivoted so as to move vertically as we'll.
behind the mirror, in the very center, little
of the quicksilver has been removed, so that
the sapper can go behind his instrument and
look through tiny hole in it towards the sta
ton he desires to signal. Having sighted the
station by adjusting the mirror, be next pro-
ceeds to set up in front of the heliograph a
rod, and upon this rod is q movable stud.
This stud is manipulated like the foresight of
a rifle, and the sapper again, standing behind
his instrument, directs the adjustment of this
stud until the hole in the mirror, the stud and
the distant station are in line. The hello
graph is then ready to work, and in order to
flash signals so that they may be seen at dis
tance, the sapper has only to take care that
his mirror reflects the sunshine on the stud
Just in front of him.
The first use of this instrument was in the
Zulu war, when rudely constructed instru-
nent, improvised by Lieutenant Of Engi-
1eers, enabled Lord Chelmsford 10 keep up
