wOmEN AT FVNERALs.

An obituary notice recently published in a Philadelphia paper contained tho following: "Male members of the family only are invis- ed to attend the funeral" The funeral was that of a wealthy lady, who had repeatedly stated during her last sickness, which she knew wonld be fatal, that she desired no os- tentation at her burial, and wished that it be attended by no women, for in case of bad weather exposure in the cemetery would be likely to cause them to contract colds, which might result in prolonged sickness or even death.
 The plan of excluding women from tuner als originated in England, and is being grad. ually introduced into this country. Says the Chicago Herald: It meets the approval ol the most eminent physicians. They state that very large proportion of funerals oe cur during unpleasant weather, for the req son that much sickness Is usual at such times. The female relatives and friends oi the deceased are often worn out by care, anxiety and watching. They are in no cons dition to endure the physical and mental strain of sitting in rowded room, riding several miles and then standing on the damp ground while long ser vice is being con ducted and the body Is placed In the grave It is not unusual for sensi tive women to faint when a coffin is being lowered into the ground, or when the first earth is heard te strike against 1t. It becomes necessary to lift them into a carriage. As a rule, there is no one to take proper care of them. If 6 protracted sickness is prevented, the nerv' GUS shook produces an injury that is ofter lasting In It's effects.

keepers are the parties to make money out of it; and in this country money-making enterprise and necessities control. Besides, there are parties of social position who, though shopkeepers in a certain way, would not care to make public their occupation. The Loril- lards, for instance, would be disinclined to show forth the various chewing and smoking tobaccos with name imprinted, which form the staple of their wealth. Nor would Mrs. ex-Secretary Whitney rejoice in display of the oleaginous matters from which have flowed her millions. Coal kings and iron barons would not mind. But to find that well teadied millionaire was in pork, in pea nuts, in corsets or in soap, would be too aw- fully shocking. The New York aristocrat is beginning to sympathize with his English models horror of "being in trade," or of ever licly face piece of merchandise with his name affixed as a "trade mark" would finish him outright.
 Apart from things to buy and sell what will there be to show2 There is no royalty in the country to give glamor, and to excite to loyal personal sacrifice. State rivalry seems out of the question. The liberal professions cannot display themselves and would not if they could; so the question of cash Is para mount. Everything outside of trade will cost money. The history of all shows of the kind is conclusive on that point. Every one of them 50 far has resulted in large financial loss. The loss on the New York show would be between three and five millions. What is there to stimulate contributions The saori- hce of five millions of disinterested New York capital would be sight to behold. Is it sight to be behelda The only contribu- tton so far made public is one of s10, 600 by Dana of the 'Sun." But that is business, pure, unadulterated and undefled busi- ness. The New York papers state that the members of the various committees oould easily contribute the requisite sums out of their own pockets. That may be. But when such men as are on the committees ac- quire the habit of contributing ''easily" from their own pockets without full expecta- tion of scraping in at least double the amount from the other fellows pockets; then hasten to have your millennium toggery put in order.

 It is curious fact that Darwin A. Henry, the expert electrician who was killed in New York by falling upon live wires while at work on an electric switchboard, had recent ly invented patent safety switchboard upon which any one can work with safety. Itis now announced that this board will be used by the company, but 1t is unfortunate that 1t wasn't put into use day or two ago.
 The editor of the Christian Union has been called upon to prescribe for an afflicted man, who writes that he has refused to allow the sale of some barrels of which he Is part own- CT to "snyone who would use them for cider for drinking purposes or anything of that sort" for the reason that it seemed to him 'right that people should abstain from doing anything for their own pecuniary profit that will encourage or benefit the liquor traffic. :" This would make good question for debat- ing societies.
 In the City of Mexico the income from the ! taxation of liquors and the license on saloons l is very large indeed. Every liquor and pulque shop pays monthly license. In ad' | dition to the license fees on saloons, an oc- 1 troi, or entry tax, is collected on all pulque coming within the city limits. For the fiscal year just ended this gate tax amounted te the sum of $500, ,000, or more than $1,5O0 6 day. The pulque shops open at 6 o'clock ir | the morning and close at 5 o'clock in the af' ternoon, and not one of them has bacl 1 door.

RATHER STARTLING CHANGES. A Teamster Explains His Indifference
 While Hauling Giant Powder.

lrf tuo DSuSSf NehS.l
 A Denver gentlemen who has been on camping tour through the mountains has re- gently returned and relates an incident which testifes to the statement that even most dans gerous oallings become ordinary everyday af- fairs to the men engaged in them, the sls- ment of danger being apparently lost sight of. He was driving his team across moun- tain road when, coming to narrow place, another team was met. In this latter were ] the driver and his wife, and as the passage was narrow and rough, there being many boulders on the side where the turning out had to be made, his wife got out of the wsg- on. This was to be expected, but when the Denver tourist saw her run somewhat speedi- ly and hide herself behind a large rock, it somewhat astonfshed him.
 "I ssy," he asked, "what makes your wife act that way4"
 "Oh, don't know exactly, but I guess she may be little scared" "But what is she scared abouti" "Oh, have got some stuff in my wagon which she does not like to see bumped over these rocks" and he coo1ly proceeded to head his team over the boulders. "Say, what have you got in your wag- ona"
 "You see those three boxes; we'll, they are ] full of giant powder" "My God, man, you don't intend to drive over these rocks with all that explosive mat ! tera'
 "Yes, I do. Why nota have been team- l ing giant powder for ten years" "But it might explode and blow us, horses and all, to the devil" "What of it. We would never know what hurt us, would we? And it was with difficulty that he was per surded to wait and carry it about fifty feet.

NATIONAL INsURANCE.

NA1kUNAA 1No hANCEs
 Germany's great experiment. in Socialism will make more disturbance than even the adoption of free text books in New Haven will. It will be very interesting to watch it's working. Under the act of 1889 every Sat- urday night every dependent workman above the age of sixteen, whether male or female, will be called upon to pay fixed proportion of his or her wages into a common fund of national insurance. Every employer of labor is bound to contribute a sum equivalent to the total amount contributed by his york; men, and the State supplements these sums by grant of fifty marks ($25O) to each pen sion. The workingmen are divided into four classes, according to wages, and the assess ments are 111a, 3, 21s and 3 pence DOT week, and for the purpose of insurance the year is divided into forty y-seven weeks. Cards are issued to each workman with forty-seven spaces, and as the employer deducts the weekly amount stamp is affixed in the space. When the card is completed it rep. resents the owners claim for the year, and is deposited in the official pigeon hole. It fig calculated than in 1891, when the act will be brought into full working order, 1t will affect twelve million worknen.

the fact that during the twelve months end.

 say that, estimating the freight on this i'm.

 American ship owners. As the Chronicle
 points out, in 1858 American vessels carried 71 per cent. of all of our exports and imports
 while last year S51k per cent. was carried by foreign vessels. The contention of the Chronicle is that this decline is due to the
 failure of our government to pay adequate
