These facts are recalled by seeing letter
to Rev L. G. Hay, D. D., of this city, sent by
a member Of the mission at Loodiana, with
programme of the jubilee exercises to be held
in that city next December-a semi-centen-
NAL celebration of the founding Of this mis-
sion. 1t is to continue four days. On each
day FIVE or six topics are to be presented and
discussed, in papers and by oral addresses, Gov
ering the history and whole field Of mission
work in India-such as schools, medical dis
pensaries, preaching, the Presbyterian system,
Sunday-school work, laymen, literary work,
TRANSACTIONS, etc. The last day is to be sort
of Christian Mela Festival addresses, music,
refreshments, conservation and to close with
the Lords supper, administered both in En-
glish and Hindustani. They will have grand
time and accomplish great good.
1t is worthy of notice that these jubilee
services are to be opened by an address by
Rev. John G. Lourie, D. D., the present Sc
nior secretary in New York of the Presby
terrain Board Of Foreign Missions, the only
surviving member of the little band that
planted the mission half century ago
The Rev. John Newton, who has
been in continuous mission work
there for about forty-fve years,
is to read a sketch of the Presbyterian mis-
sions in India assisted by his son, Rev. C.
B. Newton. There are many honored names
in the list of speakers and essayists: Forman,
Rudolph, Seeley, Tracy, Holcomb, Morrison,
Carleton, Ullman, Woodside Thackwel
Heron, Wyie and Calderwood, and the no
less worthy names Of women-Mrs, Graham,
Miss Seward, Mrs. Tracy, Mrs, Warren, Mrs
Scott and Mrs. Morrison.
But the most indicative Of progress in their
work are the names of native ministers who
are to take part in the work, such as Golak-
nath, Caleb, Mohune Lal Kamvarsain, Raja
Ram Chitamber, j. G. Bose and Chatterjeo.
All honor to these toilers in the great work
of lifting great nation into the light and
joy of Christian civilization. The Journal
recognizes their value and honors their cour-
age and zeal and sends them a hearty greeting
at their jubilee across the sea-

POST NORTEM PUNOTILIO.

THE JOURNAL has before had occasion to
commend that estimable body of men known
as funeral directors for their endeavors to
place their useful profession on a high moral
and social plane. The national association of
funeral directors, which has just closed its
sessions in Chicago has taken a long step in
this direction by the adoption of a code which
puts to shame the paltry pretensions of other
professions which have hitherto assumed to
lead in all matters connected with the higher
and more aesthetic standards Of conduct.
These funeral directors at once take a lofty
position second to none but the ministerial
calling. The code enjoins every member to
exert his best abilities in maintaining the
honor and dignity of his profession, exalting
its standard and maintaining its usefulness
Purity of character and a high standard Of
moral excellence were named as prime es
sentials in a funeral director. Profession
al requirements alone were held to
entitle to the exercise and honors
of the business, advertising of all kinds being
discouraged as being derogatory to its dignity
This latter clause in the code we must re-
gard as an error, throwing, as will its enforce
ment, pail Of gloom on many interesting ex-
changes whose pages are embellished by large,
if not profitable cuts of the latest styles of
caskets and which have nothing else as fill
ing for their columns. How are elderly rural
citizens, particularly those of the gentler sex,
who are given to rehearsing their own obse-
quies-how are these to decide what manner
of coffin they will buy without the illustra-
tons by which to chooseY In thus following
the example of their colaborers, the medical
men, they have enshrouded themselves in er
ror. 1t is an error however, not so hopeless
as the tomb, and being progressive body of
men it is not probable that they will become,
as it were petrifed in their ways, but will
soon again seek to embalm themselves in the
public mind by liberal advertisements in all
papers of good circulation.
Inc cOue' dter urging every funeral ulrect-
or not to shrink from duty but to face every
danger in case of pestilence or epidemic, even
at the jeopardy of their own lives continues:
''There is no profession, after that of the
sacred ministry, in which heightened moral
ity is more imperatively necessary than that
of funeral director, and high moral princi-
pies are his only safeguard" When it is
once thoroughly understood that these lofty
principles are to be maintained, no right
minded citizen need longer hesitate to place
himself in the hands of these gentlemen in
any undertaking.

To Her VINO Knows,

Because your eyes are blue your lips are red.
And the soft hair is golden on your head,
And your sweet smiling can make glad the day,
And on your cheeks pink roses have their way,
Should l adore youl
Since other maids have shining, golden hair,
And other checks the June's pink roses wear,
And other eyes set the day alight.
And other eyes can smile with youth delight,
Why bow before you!
But if the eyes are blue for me alone,
And if only for me the rose has blown,
And but for me the lips their sweet smile wear.
Then shall you mesh me in your golden hair
l will adore you.
And as my saint, my souls one shining star
That lights my darkness from its throne afar,
As lights the summer moon the waiting sea,
With all I am, and all strive to be,
III bow before you.
Louise Chandler Moulton.

MINOR MENTION,
any undertal

AS MIGHT have been expected, the Sharon
case Is no sooner out of the way than another
California millionaire is at the front with
divorce suit. Six years ago this millionaire, by
name Alexander Montgomery, engaged himself
to marry pretty nilliner. The years went by,
and the marriage did not come off until last
August, at which time the milliner, accompanied
by her two sisters and preacher, appeared at
the bedside Of the millionaire, who was then i'll.
The sisters each presented cooked revolver at
the sick mans head, and told him that unless ne
consented to the marriage he would be instantly
killed. Under these circumstances Mr. Mont
gomery consented, and the ceremony was per
formed When the responses during its progress
were not sufficiently audible revolver would be
flourished, with request that he would repeat
louder. On this same occasion also the be-
leaguered millionaire signed paper, of the ma
ture of which he knows nothing, but evidently
fears that it will come up against him as deed,
contract or something of that sort After the
marriage the warlike party went away, and as
soon as Mr.. Montgomery was able he fastened
to secure the services of attorneys to free him
self from the bonds. San Francisco people do
not care how the affair turns out. All they ask
is to be supplied with their accustomed amuse-
ment.

The difficulty experienced by fashionable
young ladies who frequent summer resorts in
securing matrimonial partners has become pro-
verbal The men won't come near or, coming,
are too wary TO be caught. On the other hand,
according to watering place gossip, wealthy
families who travel with their own nurse girls
and waiting maids find it next to impossible to
retain the services of these servants, particu-
larly if they are young and attractive. No
sooner are the families fairly settled for the
summer than numerous suitOrs come Tutoring
about the maids and away they go, to the great
distress and inconvenience of the mistresses.
The obvious remedy for this is to establish the
daughters in the position of maids and let maids
act as young ladies" before beginning the sea-
sons campaign, By this simple expedent the
daughters may be married off without trouble or
expense, and the servants brought back to an.
other years round of city duties. Thus may
two problems be solved by single happy
thought

Bonnet, $l2; dress SO; gloves, So; medicine, 81;
loss of time from business, 800; bodily pain and
