Advice About Funerals.

In the preparation and arrangements for the
burial, let as little tine and money as possible
be expended for snowy surroundings. The less
OF these things the better. Have only enough
show for proper respect, for public decorum an l
social respect. We are getting to mingle adyer-
slty and prosperity together, and are getting to
be unable TO distinguish the moral difference
We are now hardly able to distinguish between
a funeral and wedding. AT funerals the
tendency Is toward extravaganza and pride,
AID. as consequence, toward vice and the
meanest folly. Funerals are degenerating
into the most selfish, expensive, meaningless
services. AS the vulgar expression Is, they are
simply ceremonies TO give the dead "a good
send off," The coffin Is covered with tfnsel

Saving Sweet Potatoes.

The farmers OF this state, and especially in
this section, find great difficulty In saving the
few sweet potatoes they raise for their own
consumption, as when also they wish to put up
enough for winter of other peoples raising.
We have seen number OF methods recon-
mended, and have some experience ourselves.
The following looks as though 1t might answer
very well, and is adopted by an experienced
jersey grower: The potatoes are dug after the
first sharp FROST and left to lay as dug until
near evening, when they are covered with the
vines. In the morning the vines are removed
and the sun goes on with the drying process
This is pursued for four or i've days, when they
become thoroughly dry. They are then care
fully carried into the cellar, where they are put
On shelves In single layers, standing on u,sir'
seen and removed, and the air has free circu-
lation. Warmth has great deal to do with
preserving the sweet potato hence, II the Gel
lar is not naturally warm, they should be put
into a cellar In which there is heater. They
bear considerable heat without sprOutIng, but
degrees.
We have also known them to be packed In
boxes, each potato being wrapped-up in paper,
and the boxes placed In cellars where there is
no danger OF freezing aS this potato is very
susceptible of being nipped, and when once
touched, they decay Immediately. Yet the
temperature should not be too warm to cause
them TO sprout We have ourselves tried them
packed In paper aud put IN barrels, also. with
Dne shayipgS. and placed ill cellar Well-yen-
tilated, but they would not keep. We have
fouDd-residing we may say at the headquar-
tiers OF the sweet potato region-that the sureSt
way to obtain good, sound potatoes, was to
just as we needed them-say peck or half.
bushel at time. But this system can be
adopted only where the cOnvenienceS are at

Women and Ladies'.

In the days of our fathers there was such
things to be met with as men and women; but
now they are all gone, and In their place q race
OF gentlemen and ladies. or. to be still more re-
lined, race OF ''ladieS and gentlemen" has
sprung up. Women and girls are among the
things that were. But "ladies" are found every
where Miss Martipeau wished to see the Wo-
men wards In a prison In Tennessee aud was
answered by the warden, 1--WE have no ladies'
here at present, madam" Now so far as the
ladies were concerned it was very well that
none of them were In prison; but then it sounds
a lttle odd-lad1eS in prison! 1t would seem
bad enough for women TO go to such place.
A lecturer, discoursing upon the Characters
ties OF women. illustrated thus: ''Who were the
last at the cross? Ladies. Who were the first
at the sepulchre?" Ladies'. On this modern i'm
provement we have heard OF but one thing that
beats the above. 1t was the finishing touch to
marriage ceremony, performed by an exqui-
site divine up to all modern refinements. When
he had thrown the chain Of Hymen round the
happy couple he concluded by saying 81 now
pronounce you husband and lady" The audi
ence stuffed their handkerchiefS into their
mouths, and got out Of the room as quickly as
possible, to take breath.-Albdny Express.
