PalOyzean Funeral Customs.

In the graveyard, of the Palovzes,
in the counties of Borsod and Hcves,
may be seen here and there pyramidal
monuments of stone, with inches in
their sides for images of the saints
They are q survival from the ancient
heather affairs of these people, the
Kumanlans of old, which were erected
in honor of the sun-god; and to this
day also may be seen on many of the
houses of the Polovzes the symbol of the
pyramid with Balls eye, the use Of
which has come down from generation
to generation, without the peasants
knowing what 1t means. Children who
die still-born, or without having re-
ceived baptism, are burie d as near IS
possible to the pyramidal monuments.
1t Is part of the folklore of the Pa
loves that the little ones who are laid
to rest near these Baal-pillars will at
the end of seven years come out from
their graves, when, If some good soul
will como near them and utter the
baptismal formula, they will immedi.
ately become little angels and go to
heaven; but IL the baptism is not given
they will have TO wait seven years lon
ger for another opportunity to be re-.
leased. Many other "reminiscences Of
Baal-worship survive among these peo-
pie. The mother who has lost young
child wraps her head, rs sign OF
mourning. IN fiery red cloth. The
former prevalence of cremation is In
dicated in the custom of burning tho
clothes which the deceased wore last.
The tear-jugs of the ancients may still
be found in the houses, OF exactly the
old form and size, but destined to q
quite different purpose. Another pc
culiar custom at the funeral feast is to
lay plate with salt and bread upon
the table. for tho use of the soul of tho
departed one. Il IL should appear in the
circle OF friends. Popular Science

Contemporary Opinion OF Noble Lives.

Noble lives have often been spent to
little purpose so far as their contempo-
raries were concerned. The fact is, mo
man is hero to his valet" nor Is any
man prophet in his own country"
and as distance lends cnchantment to
the view," it is only when the worlds
best men have been hid from sight in
the greedy grave that their influence
has been felt in all its power. We arc
apt to hold even the oldest and best of
our contemporaries in light esteem;
but we reverence the ancients. Nay,
many of carth's noblest sons have been
bitterly blamed; and held up to scorn
and dersion in their lifetime; and not
till death stepped in and took them
away did the world discover its mis-
take. A poor shoemaker rises while
others sleep, and searches among the
wayside leaves of his native lanes, his
only inspiration being his thirst for
knowledge, and the Joy of adding few
plants to the known flora of his native
land. His neghbors deridc him, are
doubtful of his sanity, and think his
life a sad warning TO the peas-
ant lads around who may show signs
of leaving the beaten path of the monot-
onous life their fathers trod. Unmind-
full of scorn, in defiance of faith. no
goes forward in the thorny path he has
chosen for himself, gaining knowledge
that is quite new, making discoveries
that were reserved for such as he, and
at last becomes possessed of an herbari-
um famous for containing specimens to
be found in no other. All the while he
is unheard of, or heard Of unfavorably;
but when he grows old. and, lettering
on the brink of the grave, hands over
his precious scraps to the nearest uni
versity, he becomes famous. A coterie
of apprcciative men in far-away Lon
don collect something to relieve his
pressing necessities, and-the matter
ends. But he dies, and then the world
gains-not the blood and toil-stained
herbarium, but the stimulating example
of hcro's lifS, which, though it re-
PEELED the youth of his own time and
district, becomes a burning and shin
ing light to tighten the path and fire the
noble ambition of every youth who
reads the story Of the heroic struggles
which bore him above the swamping
waves of prejudice, of poverty, and Of
scorn. Chambers Journal.

A TRIP ALONG THE R81NE.

Rev. W ;. BOWman's Illustrated Lee
ture, From Cologne to Constance"
Rev. W. 5. Bowman, pastor of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church, delivered
an interesting lecture last night to a
large audience, taking as his subject a
Journey along the Rhine from Cologne to
Constance. The lecture was illustrated
with views thrown on large screen by a
stereopticon. DR.. Bowman commenced
his lecture by saying that he proposed to
take his audience a journey along the
beautiful, romantic and legendary Rhine.
The arts, literature and refinement, he
said. have combined to add to the at
tractiyeness of this celebrated river.
The custom now is TO commence
Journey along the Rhine at
Cologne. This city, which began to have
a commercial importance in 1000, he fully
described. 1t has recently been much
improved BY opening wide streets and in
creased business advantages. be showed
a number of illustrations OF points OF IN
terest about Cologne, its celebrated Cathe-
dral. commenced in 1910 and tinished in
1881, with its tower, the highest in Europe,
the capstone being 5l2 feet from the
ground. The Doctor next took his audi
ence to the celebrated bridge OF boats,
and from there continued on up the river,
giving views of celebrated castles, his
toric towns and famous scenery, relat-
ing as he went on numerous legends
and romantic facts that attach to many
of them. The seven mountains, AppOli-
naris Church, COblenz, Ems, Bingen,
Worms, Wirtemberg, Heidelberg, Baden
Baden, Strasbourg, and numerous other
places were visited in this way. The lee
turer's descriptions were eloquent and
deeply interesting.
After the lecture refreshments were
served by the ladies in the basement OF
the church.

RAILROAD NEWS.

A force of hands has been put upon the
contemplated railroad from Madison to
Valdosta, near the latter place, and are
working their way toward Madison.
The stockholders and directors of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad convened
in regular annual session in Atlanta
Thursday. The meeting was largely at
tended. The annual reports of the Presi-
dent and other officers were presented.
These papers showed the rOad'tO be in a
prosperous condition. The old officers Of
the road were all reelected.
The New York Tribune of Thursday
says: at is understood that if Commits
sCner Fink has not already resigned he
will submit his resignation to the meeting
of the railroad presidents tomorrow.
There is little hope that he can be induced
to reconsider his decision to retire from
his office. He is disheartened at the
failure of his efforts to secure, through
the cooperation of the trunk lines, a
solution of the railroad problems that
arise from unrestrained competition.
DevOting many years of the best part of
his life to an endeavor to secure stable
and equal rates for the public, while at
the same time averting the ruinOus con-
sequences to the railroads of rate wars,
the commissioner feels that his best
efforts have been thwarted by the acts Of
the roads themselves.
