Funeral Custom in Denmark.

IN Denmark it is becoming customary for
Friends to send to the relatives of Il person
who has died what is called Good Works
Card" in place Of the usual floral tributes.
These cards are OF white pasteboard, printed
insilver, and are issued by various charitable
organizations. On each card is the name Of
the society which issues it; in the center is
all ivy wreath on which the name of the de-
ceased may be written, and at the foot is
space for the name of the sender. The cards
are sold in bookstores for a moderate sum.
The idea appears to be Il sensible one, as by
sending these cards people can show their
sympathy for those in sorrow and at the
same time do something for their favorite
charity. As might be expected, the florists
do not Like thnse cards.-New York Tribune.

abnetrg,
THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER,

To the home of his father retm ming
The Prodigal, weary and worn.
Is greeted with joy and thanksgiving,
AS when on his first natal morn;
A "robe'' and "ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his penitent vow.
But, all! for the Prodigal Daughter.
Who his wandered away from her home
Her feet must Still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam;
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains so dreary and cold
No hand is outstretched in fond pity
To'welcOme her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray,
The weakest, and cen the forsaken,
He bears In his bosom Away;
And in the bright mansions OF glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room tor the Prodigal Daughter
As well as the PrOdigal Son.

An English physician has shown why some
people can digest milk readily and others
cannot He says: In the digestive fluids Of
the stomach there exists special ferment by
which the flesh forming part of the milk the
cheese or caseine, is specially digested. This
ferment continues in action throughout life
in some persons, but not in all; so that there
are some who can digest milk at all times,
and others who cannot digest it at any time,
In those who too exclusively feed on flesh
meat and starchy substances the particular
milk ferment ceases to be produced, and tho
digestion of milk ceases to be a natural act

IN THE RIDING HALL.
Cadets Of West Point on Horseback-An
Exhibition of Skill.


But now, the cadets just freed from the
second rooms are pouring out of the academic
building, and on all sides may be heard the
commands of the section marchers
'Sexshone haiti Left facet Ranks huahl"
Hardly have the members of the sections
entered the barracks when other cadets ap.
pear, looking taller and straighter than ever
in their skirtless riding jackets. These, amid
much clanking of sabers and jingling Of
spurs, march to the riding hall where the
galleries are already filled with fair apprecia-
tive spectators whose hearts are ready and
willing to thrill at the daring acts Of horse
manship about to be attempted. A hand
some captain of cavalry is In command, su.
perbly mounted On coal black charger, and
he put the young troopers through series Of
gymnastics on horseback. Then all are sent
flying around the hall at mad gallop,
slashing at leather bags, thursting at Iron
rings, leaping their horses over hurdles, and
raising great clouds Of tan bark as they
slash the ground.
In going around the corner one horse han
fallen, pinning his riders leg to the ground.
A chorus Of "Oh's" and pretty exclamation
Of CONSERVATION from the galleries follow.
But In a moment the horse is on his feet
again, and the rider, having escaped with
only few bruises, soon catches him, and
mounting, joins his comrades.
Another cadet has dropped his saber-acci.
dentally, Of course-and starting his horse
at gallop from the other end of the hall, he
throws himself far over it's side, and with q
low swoop at the proper instant picks up the
saber and regains his seat amid the applause
of the gallery.
Now, saddles and blankets are removed
and taken from the hall, and the cadets ara
exercised with horses bareback Now, they
are sitting faced to the rear, and now side
ways but quickly resume the ordinary posi-
ton at the command. Finally the grand
elimination Is reached vixen the command
sat will" is given, and an exhibition ensues
that would make glad the heart Of the pro-
prietor Of the greatest show on earth.
Cadets standing on prancing steeds; cadets
leaping on and off galloping horses; cadets
leaning far over the sides Of their saddleless
steeds and picking up handfuls of loose tan
bark; cadets wrestling with each other as
their horses tear around the ring. On one
side of the hall cadet Is running around the
circle hanging to the name Of comrades
horse Suddenly he leaps and lands snugly
behind the horseman, who dismounts in
front and repeats the maneuver, and SO they
go until the captains voice commands order
again, and the active fellows are marched
off, their faces glowing with the healthful
exercise.-Lieut. E. NJ Lewis in Inter Ocean.

CHAPTER III.
TELLS AN OLD STORY IN THE TRADITIONAL
 MANNER.

TELLS AN OLD STORY IN THE TRADITIONAL. WHEN Tom asked me where was going had suggested an excursion up the river; though, to tell the truth, this answer had come with the question. Be that as it may, the afternoon of that same Sunday found me on the left bank of the Thames between Streatley and Fang bourne, stretched on my back amid the under growth I had been lying there full hour wondering vaguely of my last nights adven- ture, listening to the spring-time chorus of the birds, lazily and listlessly watching a bough that bent and waved it's fan of foliage across my face, when blackbird lit on a branch hard by my left hand, and, unconscious of an audi ence, began to pour forth his rapture to the day,
 Lying there I could spy his black body and yellow bill, and drink in his song with dreamy content So SWeetly and delicAtely was he duting, that by degrees slumber crept gently and unperceived upon my tired brain, and fell into deep sleep
 
 What was that? Music? Yes, but not the song of my friend the black-bild, not the III ci- low note that had wooed me to slumber and haunted my dreams. Music? Yes, but the voice vas human, and the song articulate. l started, and rose upon my elbow 10 listen. The voice was human beyond adoubt, swcetly human: it vas that of 8 girl singing. But where? I looked around and saw nobody. The low delicate notes came tremulous through the thicket. The blaokbird was hushed, the trees overhead swayed soundlessly, and wine l the voice fell and paused, so deep was the si- lence that involuntarily held my breath and waited Presently the voice broke out again. l rose once more upon my elbow, and SaZed into the green depths of the wood, but saw only the blackbird perched upon twig and listening with head askew.
 The voice quivered, trailed of and stopped. heard a rusting of leaves to the right, and then the same voice broke out in prose, in agitated and piteous prose, "Oh, my boat my boatl What shall do2'
 Jumped to my feet, caught a glimpse oi something white, and of two startled but ap- pealing eyes, then tore down to the bank There, already twenty yards down stream placidly foated the boat, its painter trailing from the bows, and it's whole behavior pointing to leisurely but firm resolve to visit Fang bourne.
 i My own boat was close at hand. But wher did hot youth behave with thought in like case? I did as ninety-nine in a hundred would do. took of my coat, kicked of my shoes, and as the voice cried, "Oh, please dc not trouble" plunged into the water. Int refractory boat, once on It's way, was in nt great hurry, and allowed itself to be overtake1 with great good-humor. ciambered in ove the stern, caught up the souls which lay acros the thwarts, and, dripping but triumphant brought my captive back to shore.
