Land office at Bloomington, Nebraska, will show the inevitable con sequences of disregard of the Regis ter's order in these matters:
 FINAL PKooF, PUBLICATION OF NOTICE.
 ANDREW E. PHILLIPsoN, EFT AL.
 Assistant Commissioner Harrison to Register and Receiver, Bloomington, Nebraska, Feb. 2S, 1885.
 I am in receipt of your letter of September 29, 1884, transmitting the following final homestead proofs. viz : Andrew E. Phillipson, homestead entry No. 4447; Andrew E. Phil lipson, administrator of the estate of Brick E. Posse, deceased, on homestead entry No. 7157: Ole O. Holmast, homestead entry No. 7154 ]; also an appeal in each case from your decision rejecting the same-the ground of rejection being that notice was not published in paper designated" :" It appears from your letter that you designated the "Monitor" of Cam bridge, Nebraska, as the paper in which the notices should be published, as your postal map showed that paper nearest to the land, and that you so noted on the notices and returned them to the applicants for publication, and that soon after you received a letter from the publisher of the"Arap- hoe Pioneer" stating that the par ties had given him the notices and asked if they could not remain in his paper as they were already published, and that you replied that the notices must be published in the papers des- i lShdISNi. Ou otdlS NOtiI lliSJIuCllOllo were disregarded and the notices were put in the Pioneer"
 The act of March 3, 1879, provides that the notice of in ention to make proof is to be published in a news paper to be designated by the register as nearest the land. The appeals claim that the "Pioneer" is about one mile nearer to the land than the "Mon- itor."
 It is clearly set forth in official cir cular "A" July 31, 1884, that Regis ters may use their discretion in des ignating the paper for the purpose; above named, when there are severa papers anyone of which might come within the meaning of the law, ant ''in the reasonable and honest exercise of that discretion they will not be in terfered with by this office" and "yol are not to construe the word nearest as binding you to any rule of stric geographical distance" Your de cision is approved and you will so no tify the interested parties.
 From the foregoing official docu ments it will be clearly seen that tho Register is acting within his powers O discretion and the Gazette owes him full and ample apology for its cause less abuse.

On The Wrong Trail.

The Phenix Gazette has recently taken occasion to roundly abuse Reg ister Herbert Brown, of the U. s. Land office at Tucson, both officially and personally, because of some fan cied injustice done it by refusing to designate that paper for the publica- ton of notices from the land office. The Gazette is clearly in error regard ing the absolute right of the Register to designate the newspaper in which his official notices shall be published, and it's attacks upon MT. Brown are entirely unwarranted. The following is q copy of the circular of the Gener- eral Land Office bearing directly upon the subject:
 DEPARTMENT OF TIIEINTERIoR,(
 GENERAL LAND OFFlCE,} WASHINGTON, D. c. Audrs, 18th, 1889.
 To REGISTERS and RECEIVERS of U.
 $. Land Offices.
 GENTLEMEN The following instruc- tions relative to the payment and costs for advertising final proof notices are issued for your guidance:
 l. Registers of local land offices are not authorized to receive and retain money deposited to pay for publishing final proof notice, but all funds of this character are to be paid 10 the Receiv- CT.
 }. The Receiver will notify the Register that the necessary deposit has been made, and the Register will cause no ice of intention to make final proof to be published.
 3. Settlers are not to be deprived of the right to make their own con tracts for publishing notices of inten- tion to make final proof, and to make payment therefor directly to the pub fisher of the paper, after the notice has been prepared by the Register and the paper DESIGNATED BY HIM, on present. ing to the Registers statement from the publisher or his agent, that the money for the payment of said notice has been paid to or deposited with said publisher.

BURNING OF THE DEAD.
CHANGES IN FUNERAL CUSTOMS
 DICTATED BY GOOD SENSE.

Women No Longer Expected to Attend
 Funeral Services, Nor Men to Stand with
 Barred Heads by the Grave-No Long
 Procession of Carriages.
 The undertakers of this city announce that funerals are no longer what they used to be. Women are no longer ex- pected to attend them, and with some exceptions they don't. The statement of this fact was brought about through the publication in Philadelphia newspaper of number of interviews with under takers in that city. In a recently pub lished death notice of woman in Phila- delphia this sentence was embodied !: "Male members of the family only are invited to attend" This notice was pub lished in accordance with the wishes of the dead woman. She had been of a practical and sensible turn of mind. Her object was to prevent the attendance at her funeral of women who might, if it were bad weather, contract disease of a serious nature

A COMMUNICATION in another column arrnigus Governor WolAey for having exceeded his discretionary power Tn issuing requsiiion upon the goyer- nor of Washington Territory for T. l.. Stiles, under indictment in Tucson. It is evident that the law was not con sidered when the Governor acted in this matter, for its provisions are very plain. The following copy Of his let ter of transmittal to the sheriff of Pima county gives tue ostensible req sons for his peculiar action. It reads as follows:
 PHENIx, October, 2d., 1889.
 VI. F. SHAW, Esq, Sheriff Pima Go. DEAR SIR:-Enclosed please find re- quiSition for I. L. Sllles, as requested by you. You will please notice that have made it WITHOUT EXPENSE to the Territory. I have so made it be- cause these indictments as you know had become public before you come to me, and that through this publicity Mir. Stiles and his friends have given me positive assurances that he will come at once; in fact that he has em- ployed counsel already. I am satis- fled that if the District Attorney will see the friends of Mir. Stiles that they will telegraph and he will at once come.

Two Smart Women.

The town of Chelsea, Me, claims to
have among its residents the two smart
est women in Maine. They are spinster
sisters. and they run a farm of sixty-ive
acres, doing nearly all the work them
selves. One of the maids is an expert
axe-swinger, and goes into the woods
every winter TO cut their years supply
of irewood. She does a mans work in
the bayfield,, and this fall dug and put
into the cellar, without help, seventy
bushels of potatoes. The other sister,
besides doing general farm work, is quite
a carpenter, and in order to avoid ex-
posing the cattle to the severe cold Of
winter while watering, she lately built a
substantial well house, with spouts to
conduct the water to troughs in the
barnyard, some distance away. In addi-
tion to regular farm work, the sisters
cultivate a large garden in summer, and
their crops are among tn finest raised

1t Worked Just As Well.

A prominent New York physician re-
lates an amusing incident of his practice
as showing how great is the force of
imagination. A lady injured the ball of
one of her feet, by striking it against a
curb. The bruise was severe and she
feared cancer. Upon her visiting her
physician, he told her to paint the bruise
with iodine, and not use the foot. She
went away content, and upon reaching
home took a bottle from a cabinet and
painted her foot. The stain was brown
and sat sfactorily unpleasant to look at.
The following day she felt so much bet.
ter that she called again on the physician
to have him make a final examination of
the bruise. When he saw the stain he
exclaimed:
"Why, Madam, what have you ON
your foot2'
"Iodine, DOCTOR" was the confident
reply.
The physician advised her to return
home and get the bottle containing the
iodine and bring it to him. She searched
for the bottle. and discovered 10 her in
tense discontinue that it was labeled
''Cholera mixture" Its administration
was ell cacious, however.

Legend Concerning a Chinese Holiday.

The Chinese inhabitants of San
Francisco have a holiday il the late fall,
when they parade the streets in gala
attire, laughing and bowling to each
other as they pass. Some of the wealthy
Cinnamon dress most gorgeously, in
bright, highly colored skirts, bright
silk quilted blouses and sandals, white,
with black stripes.
The cause of all this festivity is the
two-thousandth anniversary of the ex-
traordinary performance of the death of
Lung Han, the god of fire, who died two
thousand years ago, according to the
tradition of the Kong Chow Society,
whose members consider themselves the
descendants of the tribe for whom he
died.
A great war had been raging. and
among the combatants were the brave
men of a tribe who were rapidly being
overcome by the enemy, and found
themselves at last cornered, with moth
ing but extermination and death before
them if they attempted to leave their
fort, and death by starvation if they re-
manned within.
After every means of subsistence had
been exhausted, Lung Han cut OIL ms
right hand, and placing his sword in it,
babe it cut W. the balance of his body
and give it to these poor starving sol
diers.
Accordingly, each man was provided
with some flesh which, when once
eaten. gave to the eater wonderfully en-
larged powers, and thus buoyed up they
sailed forth and beat back their
assailants, and retook the land from
which they had been driven.
ach year a festival is held for one of
the gods, the god o water, the god of
air aud the god of fire; but to the last
the greatest honors are given.
The Chinese parade the streets in car
riages, from the top of which are sus-
pended gong shaped instruments, upon
which they beat uninviting music, to
which they chant mournful dirges. -Ne1

Regulating Women's Coinures.

In medieval times, when it was quite an
everyday occurrence for laws to be passed
regulating the quality of the material, as
well rs the fashion and establishment of
clothes to be worn by various grades of
society, it is no matter of surprise to
find that head dresses shared in these
sumptuary laws, and that, as one in
stance, the Mayor of Chester issued, in
the thirty-second year of the reign of
Henry VIII, an edict that, to distin-
guish married from unmarried m
no unmarried woman was to be allowed
to wear white or colored caps, and that
no woman was to wear a hat unless when
she rode or went abroad into the coun-
try WOmdn'S World.

A Cruisers Cosmopolitan Crew.

Inspection Of the pay rolls of the
United States cruiser Boston shows that
about two-thirds of the crew are foreign
born. From 100 to 1000 men, or about
two-lfths of the entire complement of
enlisted men in the navy are enrolled at
the New York station. and the recruit
ing officers say that rather less than one
half the recruits claim to be of American
birth. 1t is impossible to go behind the
returns and ascertain how many recruits
claim America as their birthplace as a
matter of expediency. Statistics are
not readily available in this case, but it
is safe to say that very nearly two-thirds
of the enlisted men. both in the navy
and in the marine corps, were born
abroad. The Boston's muster roll shows
pretty clearly where the United States
Navy gets her seamen. Out of 209 men

THE HYMNS THAT MOTHER SUM-

Throughout the changing scenes of life.
That Swallowed vale of smiles and tears
Where all is lost within the mist
That hides the bygone years,
oome strains there are that linger still.
And many hearts no longer young
Are thrilled with joy, again to hear
The hymns that mother sung.
W. used to gather at the hearth
When darkness overcame the day.
And, dreamily, as children will,
We'd watch the shadows play;
And sitting by the glowing fire,
AS to ana fro tine kettle swung,
We learned the songs we've always loved
The hymns that mother sung.
We seem TO hear again her voice,
So long remembered, clear and sweet,
AS when, in days of long ago,
We sat at mothers feet,
And gazing upward on the wall,
Where dearest fathers picture hung,
We thought he smiled, for he. too, loved
The hymns that mother sung.
On many snowy winter nights,
When all without was coli and drear
We've clustured close around her chair
In happiness and cheer.
No more for us the glowing fire,
No more the cricket's chirping tongua
And never more on earth we'll hear
The hymns that mother sung.
To them We owe our happy homes,
Praise be to God who reigns above,
For keeping ever bright and clear
The lessons learned in love.
OUTLYING sorrow, bearing hope,
The dear old songs have ever lung,
And never can the heart forget
The hymns that mother sung.

A Clever

Once, while an Englishwoman was
travelling in the West, she was obliged
to take a seat in one crowded car, while
her friends entered next.
Her neighbor in the seat was a dis
agreeable looking fellow, whose features
showed an alarming amount of low u n
ming, promising actual knavery. In
spite of the Englishwoman's distrust OF
him, she fell asleep, and was awakened
by feeling her companion Withdrawing
his hand from her pocket.
Her first impulse was to raise an alarm
her second, to ascertain the extent Of
her loss. 1t proved that the thief had
only succeeded in taking her baggage
checks, and as his ticket was marked
"Chicago," the lady resolved to wait
until they reached that place, also her
destination.
The train ran into the station sc
Chicago, the pickpocket made his way
to the door, and the lady walked beside
him. A baggage express messenger was
passing by the car, and the lady stopped
him.
This gentleman has the checks for
my baggage" she said, pointing to the
thief.
The messenger turned to the Iaan who,
astonished at the suddenness with which
the tables had been turned, hastily pro-
duced the checks and disappeared in the
crowd.
