FAMILY MOURNING,
The Wearing OF Hack Apparel Not Re-
liable Sign of sorrow.

"
liable Sign of sorrow.
For one | believe that the custom of
wearing mourning apparel in the way
of badge of sorrow and affliction is
going out of use, and that the time
will come-and possibly may not be far
distant-when such practice will have
become obsolete. Various reasons may
be offered why Christian people should
discouhtenance such a custom alto
gether. 1t is said that in European
countries black is employed generally,
because it represents darkness, unto
which death is like. as it is privation
of life. In China, on the contrary,
white is used, because the people hope
and believe their dead have gone to
Heaven; the place of all-purity. In
Egypt yellow is worn, because it rep
rescnts the decaying of flowers and
trees, which become yellow as they de-
cay. In Ethiopia brown is used, since
it denotes the color of the earth from
whence we came and to which we re-
turn. In certain parts of Turkey blue
is worn, because this color represents
the sky. where the people trust their
dead have gone; but in other portions
of the empire blue and violet are
adopted, since these colors, being "a
blending of black and blue, represent,
from one point of view sorrow; from
the other, hope. Now, in reality, to
wear mourning signifies nothing and
answers no valuable purpose. 1t is
in truth no certain index to the state
of the mind. To see an entire
family clothed in black person
would naturally conclude that the
family are true mourners, needing con-
ISOLATION in their sorrow. Yet what is
the fact in II large majority of
instancesP Pope speaks of those who
bear about the mockery of woe:
ITO midnightdances and the public show"
And. alas! mourning apparel is but
too often 1.-THE mockery of Woe" The
great expense incurred in providing
mourning garments is also considera-
ton of weight which should not be
overlooked. The clothing of an entire
family, and especially where the family
is large, in mourning garments is no
trifling matter. OF course the wealthy
and such as can afford the expense
make no account of it, but to those who
are poor or are in moderate circum-
stances it is serious tax, and in fact
proves nothing short of Il most grievous
pecuniary burden. And in many cases
the custom of wearing mourning
amounts to a prodigal waste of money.
Many families are abundantly supplied
with clothing, the wardrobe is filled
with supertluous garments. and speed-
ly. perhaps, the mourning apparel is
laid aside so that it is the same as
money thrown away. An estimate
made of the amount of money ex-
pended in purchasing such apparel
would astonish, fancy, almost any
community in the land. Besides, what
is there in the good moral influence
arising from such a custom to balance
this vast expenditure?- George NeweH

Hints for Persons who Are About to Pur-
chase Mines In the Far West.
Auriferous gravels can of course only
exist where auriferous quartz veins
existed before them. Without bank
to draw upon in the first place, you can
not possibly get your bullion. In Cali
fornia the materials that make up the
collaborating gravel beds were washed
down by streams and floods in the PHO
Gene period from the mountain tops
above and deposited in the basins of
ancient lakes and rivers now no more.
But Pliocene gravel would, under nat
ural circumstances, long since have
been washed away. 1t has been pre-
served in California to the days of Bill
Nye and Jones of Calaveras, by a pc
culiar accident which those amiable
gentlemen would no doubt regard AS
almost providential for the mining
interest. Toward the close of the
genial Pliocene epoch, that usually
well-conducted chain, the Sierra Ne
yada, suddenly burst forth ION the
spree" into volcanic activity on a grand
and generally Western American scale.
Like the cowboys who ''paint the town
red" in their simple joy. it covered the
auriferous gravels with showers of
'pumice. ashes and pebbles, and finally
capped the entire mass with IA broad
sheet of solid basalt and lava. Not
only did this great prehistoric eruption
overwhelm the mastodons, Pliocene
lamas and other extinct animals whose
bones and teeth still pleasantly diver
sify the California diggings Giving in
cidental occasion to the celebrated
society upon the Stanislaw), but it also
buried beneath its ash and lava the
famous and much-debated Cavaleras
skull, which. if genuine. is the Oldest
fragment of "a human body now known
to exist anywhere. The Gaping of
lava varies from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty feet in thickness.
and it has preserved from erosion the
subjacent gravel which would other
wise have been swept away, and so
rendered possible the very existence of
the California diggings and the town
of San Francisco. - ornhiU Mngazine.

silk badges and with "dry" ballots in
their hands. Girls stood at the polls, and
at every voting place was a banner on
which was inscribed: Temperance beaus
or no beaus at ALL" Free dinners were
served at the polling places. Hundreds
of children carried banners through the

Delayed By a Cave.

BUTTE, June 27.-The tracklaying gang
is now at work in Elk Park. Mr.. Raw
says they will not get to to the Butte de-
pot for two or three days after the 4th.
The contract for constructing the depot
buildings was let to Porter Bros. Of Hele-
ma, and work will commence at once.
Everything on this side of the Woodville
tunnel point is in readiness for the track
layers, but they can not get here. The
cave in the deep cut in the canyon be-
yond the park stopped them for forty
eight hours, or otherwise they would have
rounded the hill by the Silver Bow mill
on the morning OF July 4. Every availa-
BILE man was put to work on the cave and
it was cleared away Monday afternoon,
when tracklaying proceeded.

The Squeeze in Coffee.

New York, June 3O.-The representa-

change said this morning that several of
the shorts in June coffee settled yesterday.
Three firms, however, refused to settle,
and declared they would only pay the in
trinsic value of the coffee, but the clique
was resolved that they should pay the
same price as the other shorts, and if they
did not settle before noon today their
names would be posted on the exchange
as failing to carry out their contracts. Be-
fore settling time all the shorts had set
tied in one way or another and no names
were posted. 1t is not thought that the
protts were large, as the short interest
was but small. The market closed easier.
