Pompous Funeral DISPLAYS,

For twenty years or more there has been a.
loud protest in New York, from the press
and from the pulpit, against extravaganza at
funerals, but it does not seem to have done a
bit of good. The extravaganza is as great
today as it ever was, and it sometimes seems
even greater. The long lines of carriages
following hearses to the cemeteries are not
shortened, and the heaps of costly flowers,
instead of diminishing, seem to grow larger.
1t is not uncommon to see couple of car
riages crammed with floral offerings alone
in a funeral procession, while the hearse also
carries a fair share. The custom of sending
expensive tributes of flowers to lie upon cof-
fins or be banked around the room is almost
a mania. 1t has been preached against writ
ten against, condemned in hundred ways,
but it still goes on. Even the request in the
published death notices, "Please omit flow
ers," is wholly disregarded. The flowers are
piled in up to the last moment, and then
there is a small mountain of them to be
taken to the cemetery, where they rot in
few days and have to be raked away as rub
bish. All efforts to abate the flower nuisance
flor that's what it really isl have thus far
wholly failed, and the outlay to keep it 60
ing is as reckless and lavish as ever
The carriage abuse also holds it's own, and
not only that, but very often the occupants
of many of the carriages fill themselves with
whisky from TASKS or bottles ON the way to
the cemeteries or when returning, and get
up scenes of the most scandalous kind. In
some cases, in fact, funeral is simply ca
rousal, with all that the word implies. Per-
sons are sometimes seen standing by an open
grave SO drunk that they are in danger of
tumbling in. Many of the funerals that talk
place in New York are no credit to religion,
Or civilization at any rate.-New York Cor.

The Period of Retarded Growth.

It will be noticed that whereas the age Of
most retarded growth for the boy is about
10, and the age of most rapid growth latter
the first two or three years. is about 16, the
corresponding ages for girls seem to be
about IL and Is respectively. The period of
retarded growth seems to last longer with
boys than with girls. A more important
portion of the total growth seems, on the
average, to be gained by boys between the
ages of 13 and 16 than by the girls between
the ages of IL and Is their time usually of
most rapid GROWTH. But on the contrary,
during the time from birth to the age of II,
boys, as rule, acquire smaller portion of
their full growth than girls do between birth
and the age of 15 In the great majority of
cases girls add very little to their height
after Is, though of course there are many ex-
ceptions. Boys, on the other hand usually
add two or three inches to their height after
49, Tt is noteworthy that when girls grow
after Is such growth is nearly always accom-
panied by certain irregularities, which ap-
pear to indicate some similar relation in the
case of such abnormal or irregular growth
as undoubtedly exists in the case of the rapid
growth always observed at about the time of
puberty.-RichardA A. Proctor.

Barn and Fence Advertising.

When barns were first pitched upon as sign
bearers the advertising contractors had no
difficulty in obtaining the privilege in return
for painting the roof Paint is standard
preservation of shingles, and the thrifty Jer-
sey or Pennsylvania farmer jumped at the
chance of getting his roofs painted for moth
ing Then competition stepped in. Some
body else wanted to be advertised in such
conspicuous places, and was willing to paint
the entire barn and farm house as well for
the privilege. In this way the price has
risen until some thrifty farmers have been
able to get long term contracts at $50 per
year for the use of their barns or fences,
which are to bekept in good condition by the
advertising company. Farms with good
barns near the railways or great highways
have thus enhanced i'll selling value, and the
owner chuckles to himself as he jingles his
stipend-New York Graphic

"When I was in England" said ex-Secre-

make such an extravagant display as we do
here in Washington. They have got all over
that foolishness. Dinners of sixteen courses

A Railway for the SWamns.

A railway, consisting of chain formed of
a series Of flat plates, II inches long and IS
inches wide, made of hard wood, riveted be-
tween two steel plates, is the latest solution
of the problem of an endless railway, that is,
a road which is as much part of the vehicle
as the wheels are. AS the wheel revolves it
moves along the bottom plate Of the chain
and brings the next plate into position with
out undue strain or friction. Tt has been
used to good purpose in South America, and
is now being used in the swampy land in
Germany, where large beet root plantations
are.-New York Sun.

Slave Trade in EgYnt.

Since the slave trade was abolished in
Egypt an asylum for female slaves has been
maintained in Cairo. The slave trade is still
carried on surreptitiously to some extent, and
efforts are especially made to procure inmates
for the harems of the wealthy. Ir 1856 ITO
female slaves intended for the harems were
rescued, and provided with home at the
asylum. Most of these women were negresses,
but some of them were pretty Circassian and
Abyssinian girls. All these women are re-
tanned at the asylum until they receive some
education, and are fitted to support them
selves by work provided for them. During
the year thirty slave dealers were found
guilty and sentenced to prison.--New York

KITCHENS IN THE AIR.
Restaurants on the Top Floors of Tai
Structures in Cities.

Structures in Cities.
In order to economize space, aud get
the greatest returns from the ground
occupied, there have been erected
down town in New York a number Of
very tall structures. In these immense
buildings rooms are set apart in the
upper stories for restaurants. The
cooking is all done in kitchen situated
on the very top story, and the cook
instead of being immured in an under
ground basement, can look out of the
window upon the roofs of the houses of
the greater part of the city. 1t is be-
lieved that in all the tall houses where
families live, it would be found better
to have the cooking on top of the build
ing rather than down below, so as to
get rid of the odors which usually come
when food is being prepared in the
kitchen. In the Union League Club of
New York the cooking is done on the
top story for this reason. In all the
leading commercial and banking
houses of New York lunch is served at
midday in Il room set apart for the
purpose, and the book-keepers, clerks
and other employees are not expected
to leave the building for their meals
This practice dates from a
very sensible observation of
Lady Burdett Coutts, now
Mrs.. Bartlett She Is the richest wo-
man in the world, and the owner of
great private bank. She noticed that
when the clerks left for their midday
lunch, that some of them spent more
time outdoors than was necessary,
while others came back evidently under
the influence of liquor. So she induced
her business agents to provide lunch
in the bank building. The experiment
proved so satisfactory that the Bank of
England made the same provision, and
since then the practice has been adopt
ed in most of tbs large banking and
mercantile houses of the would. OF
course, it is not SO much for the good
habits of their clerks and employees
that the managers of these institutions
care, but for the more intere sted rea-
son that they get more work out of
them, and avoid possible errors, due to
the indulgence of their clerks and
bookkeepers in strong drinks. Bat the
practice is good one, for eating devel-
ops good fellowship the world over,
and directors, cashiers, clerks and Of
