DON'T WANT TO BE BURIED ALITl:.
Some of the philanthropic citizens of
Brooklyn have conceived plan whereby
the fear Of being buried alive which
haunts the minds Of SO many persons
may be removed, and they are about to
bind themselves together as an incor-
porated company. In the suburbs edi-
fees will be erected fashioned to hold
q large number of collins. In these re-
ceptacles the collins will be ranged
about with open lids, and will remain
in the receptacles until the bodies they
contain show signs of life or are
proved by decay to be dead. Means
will be provided so that if a person in
any Of the collins should be alive he
could communicate by speaking tube or
telephone to an attendant, and receive
proper aid.

Extent ola Three Inch Rainfall.

Extent of a Three Inch Rainfall, y
Washington Critic. Ms.
U Few people have any idea 81 the I; *.
tent OF agtWo or three.inch rainfall.
and q great many. think it doesn't
aniountto much. They have often
seen the water six inches deep in a
gutter or q foot deep in a cellar, SO
thata little inch-shower is looked up:
on as very Insignificant affair. Let's
look at the figures moment. By an
easy mathematical alculationi it NAV
4 be demonstrated that q rainfall OF
three inches, or rather OF three and
quarter inches. as now officially re.
ported for q recent storm, is equivalent
to about Sc, $50 gallons to the square
acre, or Sc, 100000 gallons to che
square mile--eno ugh to fill 1,4l2,OOO
forty-gallon barrels. Estimating the
weight Of this enormous rainfall at the
old accepted rate of pint to pound
we find it to be 225, 900 tons ,or almost
three times the weight OF the Washing
ton Monument. This to single square
mile, remember. Those who may feel
"a further interest in the matter can,
without great difficulty, approximate
the number of barrels and tons oil
water which fell in the ten miles so uare
OF the original District OF Columbia,
and before they got through ciphering
they will come to the conclusion that
three and:a quarter inch rainfall is
a decide eddy wet and amazingly heavy

u A recent issue Of the Boston Herald
has, under the above head, most
excellent article on the humiliating
position in which many clergymen
find themselves. There is a world OF
truth in the following lines:
A more humiliating position can
hardly be imagined than that to
which SO many superior men are re-
duced OF being trotted round like
spawned horses at q fair, to have
their teeth, knees and hoofs inspected,
to see whether there is still 60
enough in them for this or that old
broken-down parish gig, and that, too,
generally, at a time of life when in any
other profession they would be just
entering on the highest functions and
heaviest responsibilities of their
career. Just at present the glories of
the liberty OF Tom, Dick and Harry,
and every one else to pass his judy
ment on every man and every thing,
are the theme of general eulogy. 1t is
in the church that, this liberty gets its
fullest and most varied play. The
small boy OF q, who votes the minis
ter an old foggy; the simpsring girl who
feels they ought to have something
younger, more emotional, and, proba-
bly,, manageable; the young man
who is scandalized that his pastor
does not ride q bicycle; the irate Re
publican who has learned that the fell
low voted for Cleveland, or the regu:
lation Democrat that he favors civil
service reform; the chaste spinster,
that saw him smoking; the dollar and
cent materialist that is outraged at
not being wrought up by him TO
spiritual fervor; the woman the
minister's wife passed on the street
without seeing her = here is a
small fraction of the elements of a
public opinion that is to be concilinted
and won over, or something has got
to give way. Or is it further to be
wondered at that more and more
young men ofparts andspiritrenounce
the idea OF attempting q profession
that demands of them the gifts OF be
ing at once infant school teachers
college professors, postgraduate lee
turers, private theatrical conductors
May pole dancers, and equally at Their
ease with drooling babies OF 2 months
and blind and deaf grandparents o
80, and all this grace at the imminent
risk of being cut off from a starvation
salary at % single angry meetings
