The custom Of putting on mourning for
the dead has been obsolete in England for
some years among the better classes, and is
gradually becoming so here. There is no
reason why it should not be. 1t often entails
expense upon families that can i'll afford it,
is costly, unbecoming and unhealthful. Not
one woman in thousand looks we'll in it. |
have seen beautiful woman look piquant in
widows cap, but the recollection that her
attractiveness was born of the grave, that
she was making capital from corpse around
whose neck her arms had often clung, turned
admiration into another feeling. Its advO-
Gates insist that it is mark OF respect"
But would not respect be shown quite as
well by withdrawing from public gaze, in
stead of inviting it at such time? The
fact that the most intense care is taken that
this mark of respect shall be in the style
of highest fashion somewhat staggers the
conviction that sorrow alone fills our hearts,
even in the first agony of bereavement. We
bury our dead out of sight" but not in the
abomination of Grape and bombazine. We
Law them away in white robes, and with the
soft benizon of flowers, for we would have
the last look linger with us an ever pleasant
memory. and in white robes we hope to meet
them beyond the stars. 1t is time that this
flaunted advertisement of sorrow, this COM
pulsory demand for street sympathy, this
senseless obtrusion of ghoul-like cast should
take its place with the fashion OF drowning
witches, and of the belief that Gehenna is
paved with the skulls of unbaptized infants.

Science and History.
London Times.

M. Renan has, in an interesting passage of
his own autobiography, given it as his belief
that century hence mankind will study very
little else than physical science. The time,
he thinks, will come when the historical
sciences will be thrust into the background; !;
all that they have to teach will be known,
and men will feel comparatively little inter-
est in their own past. On the other hand,
the more they know of nature the more there
will be to be known. Chemistry and physi-
ology offer inexhaustible fields for research !;
and the truths which they reveal will prove
more and more interesting to mankind 1t is
very difficult to say what men will think or
do hundred years hence; but it seems
likely enough that this will be the tendency
of study. Certainly, even now, the men of
science are becoming more and more impor-
tant factors in the life of all of us. They are
little by little winning the fight against dis
ease; they are giving us facts, and enabling
us to found our beliefs on the sure ground of
knowledge. Their influence must surely be-
come greater and greater as time goes on; ;
for humanity always reserves its highest
hcnors for those who teach it to know.

The Holy Mother Love.
[Sacrament Record-Union.l

Bear in mind the evenings text-"And
the door was shut'-and you may perhaps
realize the effect of the following, told with
a little of the Scotch burr clinging to the
preachers tongue and the plain" speech
making the pathos stronger:
One of the young girls in a little village
was led away into sin, perhaps by the eX-
ample OF some of her companions, and leaving
her home went away to London. But one
day while proceeding along the street she
came by a church and heard the congrega-
ton singing an old tune she knew well. She
paused moment and while listening sud
den vision came to her Of the home she had
left, her father and mother, the quiet village
and the simple and pure life that had once
been hers A longing swept through her
heart lust to creep over the threshold OF home
once more and sit at her mothers feet, no
matter if it were in sin and in shame, even
though she brought her disgrace home with
her-mother was there and forgiveness and
love were there. So she travelled long dis
tance to the little village, but feeling that she
must not be seen coming home by the neigh
bors, weary and tOOtsore, and longing though
she was, she hid in the fields till dark, and
then she waited and waited, fearing that she
could not make it right with 'feyther' until
"feyther' should be got to bed and she could
find mother sitting alone. And when she
came to the house her beating heart stopped
in fear, for the lights were gone and she re-
membered that the door was shut at night.
Yet at any rate she must see, and her heart
leaped again when she found that the door
was open. Light as was her footstep when
she stepped within, one ear heard it, and her
mothers voice, low and trembling with hope,
spoke from an inner room, 'Jeanie, is it you ?'
"Yes, mother, and oh, l feared to find the
door shut" Spake the mother ''Ah, Jeanie,
lass, the door has nae been shut since We left"

The Undiscovered Draft.

Not a few of those calling themselves stu
dents treat their textbooks as the Family
Bible" is usually treated. OF one OF these
loiterers about the gates acknowledge the fol-
lowing story of how he was taught lesson
is told:
An old tradesmen in a French town sent
his nephew Alfred to study law at Paris. He
gave him an old code annotated by a leading
member of the country bar, and said, )
Il will pay you visit in March, and If L
am pleased with your progress, will give
you such tip as will make glad your heart
and cause your face to shine"
In March the old gentlemen called around
to see his nephew.
'Well, Alfred, hard at work, see. Made
good progress with your code? Pretty well
through it by this time [ expect?"
"Yes, respected sir, my life has been one
continual grind Your venerable friends
marginal notes l found of great sevice while
laboring at the code"
Good boy-excellent young man You
got my draft of course. 1t is pleasure to
me to reflect that my bounty was not i'll be-
slowed"
Your draft, uncle? No; never received
it,
"SEow me thai code"
The old man opened the book and showed
his stupid nephew draft for two thousand
francs, dated five months before, which had
all the time been reposing between the first
two leaves of the CODE

Praying IN China for Snow.

1t appears that the temperature has been
so abnormally high and the weather so uni
formly mild in Northern China, as well as III
Europe, throughout the last winter season,
that not a single snowfall occurred in Decem-
Der and January in the regions usually visit
ed by frequent and heavy snow storms at
that time of the year. The inhabitants of
those districts fearing that spring and sum-
mer drought would result from the absolute
dearth of snow in its customary places OF
winter storage, petitioned the Emperor to in
tercede in person in their behalf to the super
natural authority whose special business 1t is
to regulate the annual distribution OF frozen
liquid to the inhabitants Of the tlowery land
On receipt of the application, the Brother of
the Moon straightway betook himself to the
Temple of the Snow God and fervently en-
treated that deity to favor the suffering peo-
pie with first-class snow fall at his earliest
convenience. As no immediate result Oc-
Cured from this supplication, his Imperial
Majesty repeated his visit to the temple,
evening after evening" thirty-tive times in
succession, renewing his request for snow
upon each occasion with pertinacity that
did him honor. At the expiration OF the
fifth week. however, finding the Snow God
still insensible to his prayers, the Emperor
gave up personal intercession as bad job,
and resolved, as Mr. Glasse has it, to "try an
other way" By Imperial decree, signed
with his vermilion pencil, and published in
the official Pekin Gazette, he commanded q
certain number of Princes of blood and mil
itary commanders to form deputation and
convey to the recalcitrant deity an address
setting forth the miseries entailed upon
Northern China by his unaccountable reluct-
ance to dispense the usual dose of snow.
1.-THE Emperor" so runs the decree's conclud-
ing sentence, ventures to hope that the
pleadings of so illustrious and distinguished
a deputation will have more weight than his
own with the Sublime Kwang-foO"

SOCIETY LYING.
Its Practical Application After the Par
son ExpOunded.
New York News.

New Ofk NeWSl
Last Sunday Parson Bangle became dis
gusted with the untruthfulness of mankind,
and preached vigorous sermon in denuncla-
ton of society falsehood. He declared that
lies told Just out of politeness were just as
wicked as those told with the deliberate in
tention Of deceiving as to the value OF
horse. In fact these society lies get folks
into the habit of lying, and they readily
pick up the other kind. The sermon made
great impression. Most of the congregation
resolved to reform. Coming out of church,
in front of him:
Judge, hope you didn'tmind my putting
my feet under your pew"
The Judge was about to reply, oh, GER
tainly not" but he thought of the sermon
and answered:
Il did though your old boots took up all
the room. and were fearful nuisance"
Well" said the deacon, "the hair Oil
you use smells so it nearly forced us to leave
our pew"
They glared at each other, and Just then
Mrs. Badger and Miss Jenkins came along.
Miss Jenkins said:
"How do you like my new bonnet"
ooh, thought it just lovely" replied Mrs.
B., and then she thought Of the sermon, and
continued: mo, didn't either. It's hor-
rid thing. wouldn't be seen with it." And
Miss Jenkins got mad and replied:
We'll, if l were you, I'd not wear dirty
stockings in church, and if 7 did I'd keep
'em out of sight"
While these honest conversations were go
ing Oh, Mrs. Ragbag had said to her next
door neichbOr. Mr. Gallagher:
Il hope the crying of our baby didn't dis
turb you last night" and Gallagher had re-
piled: 'No-that is-yes.' and then Mrs.
Ragbag called him wretch and wept.
And then the clergyman came and asked
young Symonds how he liked the sermon.
Symonds said
1T was grand ef-er-no, parson, it was
nonsense"
Sir" said the parson, and he drew HIM
self up Indignantly.
The parson went home and meditated in
gloomy frame of mind for three hours, and
finally concluded that society lying was
wicked, but he would not preach against it
AGAIN.

The Pope as an Eel Farmer.

How many people are there who know
that the Pope is farmer ? Such is the fact,
however, and there is reason to believe that
his Holiness makes very good thing of it.
Leo XIII "goes in," however, neither for the
growing of cereals nor raising of stock, but
for the breeding Of fish. The lagoons of
Commachio are thus turned to profitable use.
Eols are the staple food, and several tons of
cooked cells are sent from the lagoons every
Lent. The fish come up in immense shoals
from the Adriatic, and are fed in the lagoons
on other fish provided for them until they
are nicely fattened, when they are killed
and cooked in vast kitchen. The laborers
on these water farms dwell in barracks built
on an island. This is yet another instance of
the strange use to which land may be put

Airing the Beds.

1t must be a false idea of neatness which
demands that beds should be made soon after
being vacated. Let it be remembered that
more than three-fifts of the solids and liquids
taken into the stomach should pass off
through the pores of the skin-seven million
in number-and this escape is most rapid dur
ing the night, while warm in bed. At least
one-half of the waste and putrid matter
from twenty to thirty ounces during the
night-must become more or less tangled in the
bedding of course soiling it, and this may
become reabsorbed by the skin if it is al
lowed to come in contact with it the next
night. We may well initiate the Dutch ex-
ample of placing the bedding on two chairs
near the window, in the sun light or in the
window, that the best purifier known-the
light cf the sun-may dissipate their impur-
tiles, or neutralize them. At least three hours,
on the averrge, is as short exposure as is
compatible with neatness.

GOODBYE, PROUD WORLD.

Goodbye, proud world I'm going home;

A river ark on the ocean brine;
Too long am tossed like the driven foam,
But now. proud world I'm going home!
Goodbye to Flattery's fawning face,
TO Grandeur with his wild grimm0ce;
To upset Wealths averted eye,
TO supple office, low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go and those who come,
Goodbye, proud world, Pm going home.

Bosomed in yon green hills alone;
A secret lodge in pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned,
Where arches green the llvelong day
Echo the blackbirds roundelay,
And evil men have never trod
A spot that is sacred to thought and Goa.
Oh. when am safe in my sylvan home,
| mock at the pride of Greece and Rome.
And when am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star so holy shines,

At the sophist schools and the learned clan
For what are they all IN their high concelt,
When man in the bush with COD may meet

New York Candy Store.

Speaking of Madison Square and its at
fractions, the New York correspondent OF the
Boston Herald says: Candy stores are plen-
ty in the Madison Square neighborhood.
Their windows are ablaze with gas jets and
gay with sweets. 1t is little use trying to
get girl past there unaware. Admitting
that It NAV be done in other cases, it is
utterly impracticable when the confec-
toner places a workman in the window to
make gum drops in full view. She is bound
to stop and look at the operator, and it is :,
hardened william who can help asking her If
She wants some. Once inside the store he is
lost, or at least considerable of his money is
as good as gone. The adored eyes are sure
to light on candy that is dollar pound'
The nrices in some of these places are extor-
tionate. and in one of them the prices
are about fifty per cent higher at night,
when most of the purchasers are defenceless
beaux. than they are in the day time"

How to Secure Good Husbands.
New York Herald.l

Among the Zuni Indians, who have recent
ly come to the front by coming East for ocean
water, there is said to be a social custom that
might be worth adopting in more civilized
circles. In Zuniland the houses belong to
the women instead of to the men, so a man
can marry without being first obliged to buy
or hire house; marrying men are therefore
abundant among the Zunis. On the other
hand, a man who marries can only occupy
his wife's house during good behavior, the
wife having always the right to put an un-
satisfactory husband out of doors This is a
privilege that would raise many an Ameri-
can wife from abject slavery to the rank of
equal partner in the coniugal firm. But,
whether for husband or wife, the Zuni plan is
an advantageous one; it encourages early
marriages, assures every woman of home,
SO that she need not marry merely to get
one, and it keeps husbands in order, for al
most any man will behave himself if by so
doing he can avoid the onerous duty of pay =
ing house rent.

TO THE VIOLET.

Little violet by the river,
Dancing to the Zephyrs tune,
Slyly winking to the quiver
Ofthe bright beams of the moon,
Gazing on the ripping water
With a sweetly- laughing face
Tell me, tell me, meek-eyed daughter,
OF the lovely fiow'ret race
In what sunlit. smiling place,
In what far-off, distant shore,
Have you kissed the dew-drOps sparkling
In the hours of silence darkling,
Since I've see.I you here before.
Have you roamed with spirits airy
Through the charming Indian isles,
Where the airs like breath of fairy,
And the sunlight sweetly smiles?
Did YOU dance beneath the sun-gleams
At the gateway Of the day,
As they laughing kissed the sun-gleams
In the rich wales of Cathay?
Did you merry y-laughing stray,
Little violet, through the grove,
Where the nymphs and dryads nightly,
When the stars are shining brightly
Through the swift dance-maZeS move"
But no matter, little violet,
Where YOU We been. that now you re here,
Thou hast come with tidings, my pet,
That the bright warm days are near;
That the wild March winds are flying
To their home in sore fright,
That the fair May-Queen is hieing
To our land with Joy and light,
Coming from the Islets bright,
Where she's been this many day
Welcome, welcome little violet.
OF all flow rets, thou art my pet,
Harbinger of gladstone May!

ALWAYS ONE VACANT CHAIR.
BY HENRY w. LONGFELLOW.

There is no flock, however watched ana tenoeo'
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no fireside, howsoeer defended,
But has one vacant chair.
The air is full of farewells to the dying,
And MORNINGS for the dead
Will not be comforted
Let us be patient! These severe afnlctions
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial benedlctons
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the mlsts ana 'apof7'
Amid these earthly damps;
What seem to us but sad, funeral tapers,
Nav be Heavens distant lamps.
There is no death! What seems so is transitloh'
This life of mortal breath
Is but q suburb of the life Elysian
Whose portal we call death.
