Funeral of the Caucasian Jews.

every male in the place 10 visit the sufferer
AMI spend a certain amount Of time with
him, 50 that he is never LETT alone. Should
rne patient die the body is forthwith placed
on the bare ground and covered with q black
cloth. Candles are lighted around tue
eclipse, the women Of the village gather i'll
the COURTYARD to sew the tachrichim or gar
meats Of the dead, when a dozen or twenty
female mourners, hired for the purpose, form
a circle round the deceased and begin the
customary lamentatiOn. why have yOu
left us, aud what have we done to youf cries
the leader OF the wailing party, beating her
brenst and tearing at her hair, while the
others break in with "Hoya ala, h0ya ALA. -
For hours this lamentati0n, with its chorus
Of "Hoya alla,' goes on; the mourners
getting more and more excited until a posi-
tive frenzy seizes them; and they would
often do themselves serious harm did not the
men standing by restrain them.
The corpse is then taken into the open air,
lire is made and water heated and the body
washei. clothed in d white shirt with a hood
that covers the face and gl0ved sleeves that
cover the fingers, and then in q pair Of white
drawers hat similarly conceal the feet. The
praying scarf is wrapped over all and the
deceased is carried 10 the cemetery. NocolHn
Is used For twelve months after death n
vessel with water is regularly placed near the
grave. 1t is believed that for a year the soul
Of the departed revisits the place where the
body is INFERRED, and the water is put there
that thu soul may wash itself clean Of all
earthly impurities before ascending heaven
wards.

and set him on the opposite bank. Since
then the pug has carried out Of tho house to

dog eat them.

Two interesting points in politics are
that Ohio wool and Pennsylvania iron
are such bugbears to the Democrats,
when by coddling both of these interests
they would only be exercising the pro-
verbal tenderness of the Republican
party and strengthening two Republican
States. That is the way politicians so
often r. .ctice mistaken craftsmanship
and help their opponents with their own
weakness, instead of helping their own
party by applying its W strong prin-
ciples.
The President has posted the flag of
true Democracy upon the advanced line,
and all that the Democrats have to do to
win Is to boldly follow the lead.
The boldness of justice and common
sense magnetizes the people, and none of
the old barnacled fallacies of protecting
monopoly, with a lying pretense of pro-
tecting labor, can avail If the House of
Representatives will make a straight and
brave attack on the stronghold of monop-
oily, which is the Republican idea of
making the people pay twice as much
for the necessary articles of life as they
ought to pay.
The difference Of fifty per cent. is not
for the support of the Government, be-
cause the Government has a hundred
millions a year more than it needs. 1t is
to give the monopolists the privilege of
forcing the home market up to their own
prices.

A MECHANICS INSTITUTE.

The Mechanics Institute Of Richmond
ought to be understood distinctly and
practically. We are fully i n accord
with all the efforts to forward and de-
velope the Agricultural Society's yearly
exhibition, but the two interests will
never harmonic In the style and charac-
ter Of an exhibition, because one demands
a great deal of room such as We have al
the Agricultural Fair Grounds, and the
other wants a building in the city, where
school rooms and where a large
lecture room may afford the OPP
portuni.y for weekly lectures by
the ablest men Of science. We are only
three hours and a half from Washing
ton where hundreds of scientific men
devoted to the Mechanical arts are sub
iect 10 our call. In fact Richmond could
make a second Cooper's Institute with
the advantages she has.
The TIMES not only outlined this plan
and all its possibilities, but it was able TO
say that scores of men in Richmond OF
means would like to join in establishing
the Mechanics Institute. But we are
also able to say that the men OF public
spirit who would like to establish such
an institute could not see the sense OF
taking it TO the Agricultural Fair
Grounds, although they might be very
much interested in both. II would not
he quite harmonious in the nature OF the
two things, to have an agricultural fair
In the centre Of the city or a school Of
mechanic arts out in The country.
Besides all this the institution, what
ever ii Is to be, would need a large build
Ing that could afford the facilities OF a
public hall that could be rented out for
meetings and thereby pay the expenses
to acme extent. And it would want the
appliances for heating and light that only
q city can provide.

To Prevent Railroad Collisions.

a most wonderful invention is reported
from Vienna. An Austrian engineer has,
It is said, designed a truck 10 run before
every railway train, being maintai led al
ways at O fixed 6ut adjustable) distance
in front by the force Of an electric current
transmitted along the metals from a dy-
nano on the engine. the current is con-
Quoted through mercury contained in
glass tubes on the pilot truck. If, there
fore, the truck comes into collision the
tubes are broken ana the contact conse-
quently destroyed. The interruption Of
the current instantly and automatically
applies the breaks on the following train.
Ii is claimed by the inventor that two eX-
pI esses, fitted with this system, might
tn impunity be set 10 run full tilt at
each other. The collision Of their pilot
trucks would arrest the progress Of both
trains before they could meet. the ele-
ment Of human ~faliibility is accordingly
entirely eliminated, and drivers may dash
through a whole series Of danger signals
without risk, being automatically arrest
ed the moment they reach the spot that Is
really dangerous.-St. James Gazette

WHY NOT ART AND LATHERi
What's TO Prevent the BARRIERS from lax

'High art in the barroom long ago be-

ia metropolitan life said an observing New
Yorker the other day. High art and rum
az q combine are odd enough, but tho coming
innovation will excel it. High art and lather
will be here some day, and the art viii DO
high in n double sense, for 1t will not be on
the wall, but on the ceiling.
How is it that the barber has not long ere
this added to his colloquial fascination the
charm Of the pointers brush to draw ducats
70 his pursei There's money IN the scheme,
if the thrifty Touton will but put on his
glasses and see it. There arc BARRIERS in some
of the leading hotels Of this city who have
grown Independent through their trade, n
NAV grow wealthy. Let such a man secure
an artist Of tho first rank in the United
States. or from abroad il lie prefer it, who
will transform his ceiling into a vast workof
art. or series of works, which shall delight
the eve and can only be viewed with comfort
from a horizontal POSITION. The ceiling may
be a false one, il desired, placed over the

they are sleopyl Not at all. 1t IS because
the monotonous Geld Of white or Of abomin-
ably figured wall paper spread out above
them Cor fifteen minutes would IN time make
of them nervous wrecks unless they closed
their eyes; and by closing their eyes they IN
duce slumber. Ii, instead OF this ordeal, a
man realized that he could enter a certain
barber shop as lac enters the National Acad-

Of Art he would 90 to that shop every time
while the large percentage OF male popula-

ance itself might hope for a new boom, for
many men who now drop in for a drink
would in time COM to drop in for a shave IN
stead. And as the price IS about the same
for each, lather would not be h%ampered ia
the contest with rum.
