English Funerals.

ANY one walking through the streets OF Lon

have adopted the military style OF mourning
anG wear band OF black cloth around the arm

heavy sWatn1ngs OF. Grape for women. Proba.
bly, no country IN the world is more welded to
0ld-fashione0 ObSeryanceS than this, and have
neen surprised, therefore, TO see how rapidly
the new fashion has found favor, which Is UNI
douDtedly largely owing to the efforts of the
Church OF England Funeral and Mourning
Association to restrain the extravaganza so
frequently displayed by poor people In their
methods OF burying and mourning for their de-
ceased friends. 1t Is singular fact that the
lower classes in this country consider it q far
greater disgrace to be buried by the parish after
they are dead than to be supported by it While
they are living; and the way In which poor
people VIII strip themselves of everything, and
