The Dead English Statesman.
JOHN BRIGHTs FUNERAL TO BE AS UNPRETEN.
TIoUs AS POSSIBLE

JOHN BRlGHTs FUNERAL TO BE AS UNPRETEN-
TIoUs AS POSSIBLE.
The funeral Of John Bright will take place at
Rochdale, Lancashire, on Saturday. There will
be little ceremony and the body will be inferred
in the Quaker burying ground. Political dep
utations will follow the funeral. Only personal
friends will be admitted to the services at the
house. 1t was the wish of the deceased that
the funeral should be as simple as possible. A
cast OF the face of the dead statesman was taken
yesterday.
Nothing but praise for the noble and useful
life OF the great quaker, and profound regret at
his death was heard in England Yesterday
Tories and liberals alike united in these express
sions, the latter overlooking Bright's unionis.
sentiments in their admiration of the sterling
qualities OF the man. At political meetings
| throughout England last evening sympathetic
references were made to Mr.. Bright. William
Vernon Harcourt, speaking at Bradford, said
that no greater or purer man ever adorned
political life in England. Lords Harris and
| Spencer also paid tributes to the dead
1t is thought that John Bright's youngest son
will be given his fathers seat in the house Of
commons if he will accept it.
For the last ten years Mr.. Bright was in Wis
ible process Of decay. His once resonant voice
began to fail when he joined Mr.. Gladstone's
cabinet in $780, and his parliamentary career
| practically closed when he Quilted the ministry
on account Of the bombardment of Alexandria
step on the part Of the government. which,
he never could be brought to justify or even
excuse.

What You Pay For Food,

SOCIAL REFORM FROM THE KITCHEN SUGGESTED
BY NOTED sTATIsTICIAN.
Edward Atkinson in the April Forum
1t is well ascertained fact that, with respect
to about 80 per cent. of the community. the
price paid for food comes to one-half the in
come or more. After this food is bought how
much OF it is wasted in bad cooking? How
much human force is wasted in consequence of
bad cooking? How much does dyspepsia or in
digestion. caused by bad cooking. impair the
working capacity of the people Of the United
States and diminish their product?
Can five cents worth per day be saved? Is
not that very insufficient measure of the DIFF
ference between poor, wasteful cook and a
good. economical one? If five cents day can
be saved on food and fuel, while at the same
time that which is bought and cooked NAV be
converted into more nutritious and appetizing
food, the difference in each community of 6. 900
people would be Sl09, 500 year, or about nine
per cent of the total product of the typical
community, which we have assumed to be
Sl,2OO.OO0 year in gross.
When the attention of the labor reformer ia
brought down from grand schemes for altering
the whole constitution of society by act of Con-
gress or of the state legislature, to the simple
question of how each person, ca oh family, or
each community may better itself under exist
ing conditions, great progress will have been
made i'll solving all the problems which are
now pending.

ton of Mr.. Jones, of Halifax, regarding the
continuance of the modus UiUendd said Eve
have been in communication with Newfound-
land for some time upon the subject with a view
to joint action. On Friday or Saturday last we
received communication from the govern
ment of Newfoundland that they would act with
us and would allow the naodus brenda to go into
operation for the coming season."
In reply to question Of Mr.. Mitchell as to
whether any correspondence had been had in
regard to the Behring sea proclamation of the
American government. the prime minister said:
There has been no correspondence There is
a good deal of misrepresentation on the subject
but there is a clause in an act of Congress re-
lating to the Behring sea, requiring a procla-
nation of this kind to be issued every year,
warning their own people regarding the rights
reserved to private parties i'll that region. This
Is only the ordinary proclamation issued every
year and covered no new feature"
