Wearing Mourning.
From Good Housekeeping.


Doubtless there are many who conceive
themselves oomforted by Grape and bombazine,
and their feelings ought TO be respected We
are greatly the creatures of habit. Among the
Hebrews the conventional expressions of grief
consisted in tearing garments, cutting the hair
and beard, and going about bareheaded and
barefooted, weeping and shifting the breast.
The Greeks kept themselves secluded, wore
coarse black garments and walled bitterly.
During the Empire women wore white mourn
ing in place of black-a cheerful custom, at
least. Among barbarians mourning rites are
horrible, including burning and amputation.
In the Sandwich Islands the natives paint their
faces and knock out their front teeth.
The Chinese, more hopeful than the Cauca-
sians, believe their friends are alive and happy
IN some distant cline. and SO use white instead
OF black. Even the Turkish mourning is ceru-
lean, to represent the sky to which their loved
have flown, while the Philippians typify the
dust of which they are made by the brown
they don on funeral occasions. Everywhere il
Is conventional and more or less barbaric.
How unlike a true conception Of that ''other
world" of Mrs. Stowe:
Sweet hearts around ms throb and beat
And Pslrits,ss the ven between
In multitudes of cases families put into
pompous funeral ceremonies and costly mourn
ing enough to save them from impending want
Who can suppose that the departed would de-
sire such trappings. when no one il benefited
and no real respect shown by the unwisdom?
Modern oblations take a different form, but
amount to the same thing the ancient. A
sacrifice upon the altar of show and ceremony
is sacrifice STILL Where the wealthy indulge
the poor certainly will. A costly casket, long
line of carriages, Haunting Grape, and an empty
larder, debts, anxiety, and wretchedness. Nor
can they abate one jot the pangs of separation,
which can only be assuaged by trust in that
Providence which comprehends all We can ever
know of deathless and exalted affection.
A discovery has been made at Glamorgan-
shire, Wales, of remains of a large Roman villa
and a military station. An of two acres
was covered by the buildings.

A Toy Kingdom with No Taxes.

LOnuOn Irutn.
The Prince of Lippe-Detmold, who enter
tanned the Emperor William last week, is
one Of the richest of the German royalties.
He possesses an immense fortune and vast es-
tates, which lie principally in Westphalia. He
owns nearly the whole of his domini6hs, which
is very nice for his subjects, whose taxes are
merely nominal in amount, and they are greatly
envied by their less fortunate neighbors in the
adjoining states. The Schloss of Detmold is q
magnificent royal seat, but the admirably-ar-
ranged stables are the great feature, as they
always contain about hundred fine horses, all
of the famous Senner blood, which are bred at
the princes stud farm of Lopshorn. The breed
is Of arab origin, and the stud, which contains
$50 mares, is probably the oldest in Europe,
for it has existed since the fifteenth century.

A Murderess of Last Century.

FroM the Liverpool Courier
A hundred and fifty years ago, when the
head Of the murdered husband of Catherine
Hayes was discovered in the Thames, the Lon
don newspapers were few and their circulation
was small; and the authorities, at their wits
ends to procure the Identification Of the grisly
relic OF mortality, were fain to set it upon a
pole in the churchyard Of st. Margaret, West
minister, that all who ran might read it's fea-
deress, Catherine Hayes, was brought to the
gallows and the stake-for the murder of a
husband was then petty treason, and the
wretched wife was burnt as we'll as hanged.

A Contest of Lord Sackville,s VIII

New York Tribune's Cable Special
Although the late Lord Sackville's requests
do not, after ALL include any of the heirlooms
at Knole, and refer only to such furniture and
pictures as he himself brought there, fear
that the younger brothers intend disputing the
validity of the will. 1t is matter of notoriety
that Lork Sackville never recovered from the
mental shock occasioned by the death of his
wife. The will which was made in July diff
fered materially from one executed in January.
During the summer he entertained several de-
iusions: In consequence of one Of these hal
lucinations he wrote to nobleman strongly
complaining of a personal affront said to have
been offered him by well-known aad most in
offensive member of the corps diplomatique
who had never seen him. The present Lord
Sackville does not intend to reside at Knole,
the ancient home of the Sackviiles. It viii,
however, be kept up, and next year is once

The Oldest Voter.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In the town Of Mapleton, Ind, lives the old
est voter in the United States, who still gets
around on his trusty, old fashioned crook
handled cane, and prides himself upon having
cast his ballot for every presidential election
but the first three. He is q sturdy old veteran
Of more wars than he has fingers and toes, be-
cause he has always had his gun handy TO take
part in every local Indian uprising that from
time to time threatened his frontier clearing.
George Hubbartt is his name, and the records
at Washington show that he was regularly en-
listed in the Indian war Of 1910, when his age
was twenty-three. At that time Mr.. Hubbartt
was thrifty farmer living in a log cabin, but
now, at the mature age Of 104 years, he finds,
around farm" The whole family Of Hub
bartts are blessed with unusual longevity,
and the old gentleman's baby boy, George, IL q
