Reform in Funerals.

A very considerable and laudable agita-
ton is sweeping over the country looking TO
a reform in the manner Of conducting
funerals. In the first place it not thought
that they should be SO conducted as TO
produce other funerals-that attendants,
in other words, should be no longer expect
ed 10 stand, with uncovered heads, in stormy
weather. Respect for the dead does no,
demand any such disregard of the health Ct
the living. Neither does respect for tie
dead demand an immense funeral that in
nine cases out Of ten entails debt and
suffering upon the living. Such funerals
have brought actual aud extreme want upos-
families IN nearly every community. The
undertaken is generally at the bottom OF
these expensive funerals. The greater the
expense, the greater are his chances for
profit, and the business has been pushed u
such a limit that many a funeral is a
spectacle instead OF a heartfelt tribute T.
the departed. The need Of funerals con
Quoted in a simple and transformations
manner is everywhere felt and demanded
The reform in funeral customs should BE-
thorough and sweeping and first Of all, The
expensive undertakers should be sat down
upon.-Atlanta Constitution.

Every one has heard Of the muncoo.e :,

is almost needless to say that the story o. the

When@taken young, the mungoose is easily
domosticated. and it can be reared. like IL
puppy dog, on milk. 1t has a fondness for
warmth, and a soft couch, and will cuddle
itself next its MASTER pillow, or even on his
breast, If he permits it. 1t is a very clean
animal, and ~evinces a considerable amour,
OF intelligence; but it has one great fanlt,
and that is its murderous propensities
which nothing can restrain. If the nun
goose would only keep his sanguinary ideas
for the snakes, frogs, and lizards that infes,

be considered a virtue, not a voice, but un-

day, aud hence the race of skilful masons
Is becoming extinct. The colored glass
which used to be made IN great perfection
for windows and lamps is the product Of a
FORGOTTEN art. and mist of the glass and
CHINA used in Egypt-even the national
coffee cups-are imported from Europe.
The same tate has come to the turner's who
used to make beautiful lattice window
screers; people now prefer glass, and lat
tees being no longer required, turner's are
forgetting how to make them. The pot,ers
DO a good trade in unglazed and porous
vessels for cooling water, and the palm
furni. hes occupation to many hands. Egypt
is nc LONGER famous for 6ne linen; even its
cotton and wooden stufs are coarse, and its
silk OF poor quality. The tanners, however,
bgve not forgotten their cunning in curing
NOR Geo leather, and the love of
beyond slippers, supports goldsmiths in all

Re- VaccinatiOn.

The London papers have discussed
at much length the results Of re-vacein-
alton as exhibited in the case OF be-
tween ten and eleven thousand persons
permently employed in the postal s%ervic..
all OF whom were required to undergo
re-vaccination on admission to the service,
unless that operation had been performed
within seven years previously. Among
these persons, according to the data nov
officially published, there has not occurred d
single fatal case OF smallpox, and 10 only
ten cases non-fa;al attacks, al OF these be
ing Of a very slight character. On the
other hand, i, appears that in the telegraph
department, where the enforcement OF re-
vaccination was not carried out with the
same completeness. twelve cases occurred
IN the same period, among a staff averaging
fifteen hundred eight OF these attacks were
Of persons not re vaccinated, and one proved
fatal, while the remaining four were Of re
vaccinated persons, who all perfectly recov-
cred without pitting.

Egyptian Habits.
| yet.

The Urinary ~inhabitant of the towns
passes his life in q simple and uniform
manner. Before sunrise he leaves his
couch, performs the morning additions
enjolned by his religion AID repeats his
early prayer. To say his morning PRAYER
after sunrise is forbidden by the ordinances
of his religion, and to allow the sun to rise
over ones slumbering head is regarded as
prejudicial to health. He then drinks his
cup of coffee and smokes his pipe either at
home OF at the public coffee house. His
breakfast, which be takes after the coffee or
sometimes before If, consists of the remains
of his meal Of the previous evening. or ot
cakes and milk, or Tor a tribe be procures
from the market the ever ready national
dish OF fui, that is, stewei beans. He then
engages in his avocalions, buys. sells, writes,
works or moves about, all IN the nos,

Faith-CureS.

About ten months ago the Cincinnati pa
per chronicled the cure by faith Of Mrs. NJ.
E Washburn, of the n%eighboring suburb of
College Hill, well known in art circles in
Cincinnati. She had been suffering from
internal cancer, and a'lengtb wa.a pparently
at the point of death. At this ju%ncture a
female missionary induced her to try the eff.
fcancy o~fprayer. The advice was adopted,
and Mrs. Washburn and her whole family
began to pray earnestly that she might re-
cover. From the time the praying began
the sick woman commenced to improve,
and in a short time she rose from her bed
almost restored to health. Mrs. Washburn
claimed that she could feel the cancer de-
creasing under the influence of prayer. At
times she bad relapses, but these were caused
she said, by temporary spiritual backslid-
ings. Her friend at length believed that
she was really cured, and her case was cited
far and near. Sunday she died of the can

A Pretty Home Toilet.

Husband and children delight in seeing
'pother" look n earfaAd nice. Nevertheless,
many women dress>at home in such a style
that they are always ashamed to be seen by
any body but home folks. If a knock at the
front door is heard, they run and hide. or
wait till they nave "primped up before
opening it. In their creed anything is good
enough for hone-folks; all nice things-nice
company. Any old calico or woollen dress
is good enough to do housework IN, any old
worn out shoes good enough to wear round
the house. AS a natural result Of this theory,
the pa-lor is always shut up save on great
occasions, the sitting room is rarely used,
and the family life is passed entirely in the
kitchen. 1t is no unusual thing for women
Who hold such theories and carry them oat
in practice, to find no time to comb their
la till after dinner work is done, and 20
round with it in a frowse two-thirds of the
day. As a natural consequence, she forfeits
much of the respect and &C miration which
is her due. To antidote this unfortunate
result, a pretty and tasteful home.toilet will
be found very efficient. Calico of fair
quality can b. purchased at eight cents a
yard, aud with a clean calico dress on and
a nice calico apron the housewife may be
always dressed up while at her work. II
she unvaryingly combs her hair before en-
gaging in any morning task, her hair will
be in order for the day, and a lesson Of
value will be set her entire household. A
bit of edging may take the place of a collar
if the collar is too much trouble; and neatly
| alfred in fresh calico and whole shoes she
need not run and hide if there comes a
knock at the doc. The laboring man
wife who is careful Of her own appearance
while al her work will have a better oppor-
tunity for and more influence in persuadinp
| her>husband to look no worse than he need
to while at his work, than she who cares for
none of these things. A reasonable atten-
ton to externals not only fortifes our own
self respect, but gains the respect of others.

That Procession

Some men have queer notions Of news
citizens, who coulG not be hired to 60 into a
shoe shop and beg a pair Of shoes, or a dry
goods store and ask for a dress pattern, will
enter a newspaper office and coolly request
the proprietors to give them a few dollars
worth of advertising. Not IN the advertise
ing columns! o! bless your soul, they have
too much self respect for that! What they
want is the most valuable part of the paper
the reading columns. They don't call it
advertising; perhaps they never are really
conscious of what they ask. They probably
deceive themselves aud so undertake to de
ceive the editor. The advertisement is
disguised under the name of a news item,"
or AN item of interest which your readers
will like to see" 1t proves to be some sort
of reference to themselves or he'll business
affairs, the publication of which would inure
to their private advantage, and perhaps an
advertisement, is Of no interest to the public
whatever. When it is delicately limited that
1t IS business" the item which they took
pains to bring all the way to the newspaper
office proves mo- to be of the slightest i'm
portance to them" not worth a cent" to
them. They thought the public would like
to see see it, and that the editor would be
glad to get items of public interest" Then
they depart, plying the want of ENTERPRISE
and the narrow ideas of a newspaper pro-
prletor, who cannot tell AN item of inter
est from an advertisement.
+ The procession of these public spirited
men who sacrifice time and strength in
trying to provide newspapers with interest
ing readiug after does not perhaps march
IN quite as close order as it used to, bu,
there are a good many newspaper office:
that have not seen t. evil end Of it, ever
yet
