ROSES CR GRAPE.
The Wen Founded Beginning of Change
For the Better.

lDe beltff-
From time immemorial the interment
of the dead has been the occasion of so
many and varied ceremonigl observ-
ances dictated by affection, religious
conviction or superstition, that even
brief resume of the subject would fill
volumes. History is replete with the
recital of gorgeous funeral pageants
and feasts. even up 10 and including
the present century; but it remains for
the people of to-day 10 abolish the fun
eral baked meats, the sOmber Grape and
all the dread insignia OF grief
When Henry Ward Beecher passed
over the great unknown a few yeors ago,
mourners, including his estimable wife
and immediate relatives undermined
the custom induced by superstition, by
laying aside lustreless black at the
funeral. From the door-bell IN place
of the customary lugubrious Grape,
was suspended a spray OF fair blooming
roses. Flowers drapcd, adorned, beau
tilted and llghtened every nook and
corner of the house and turned their
far petaled races TO those who
mourned, tempering if no: assuagIng
their grief.
Since then the custom has gone out
from the home of the great but silent
preacher, into the by-ways and high
ways. Like all great reforms II needed
q master hand to inaugurate II. Worth
devised dress Of severe
simplicity. The stvle with kor
without notifications went out
and was copied the length and breadth
of the land. 4 great family mourned.
They attempted TO rob the house of
death of some'of It's horrors, and the cx-
ample went forth and was adopted IN
cities East and West.
4 few years ago the emblem Of death
was a Grape streamer; white for child-
hood, white and black for middle age
and black for old age. Passers by
shuddered at the dark signal which
mutely showed the presence o. death,
and as for those within, their hearts
made doublv sensitive bv their grief
every flutter but added a pang OF sor-
row.
Now all is changing. The sleeper
rests not less quietly beneath the roses
whose beauty shelters and hides the
last narrow resting place. The cluster
OF roses at the door tells IN beautiful
language OF the passing Of a soul 10 the
land Of flowers and song.

ted from Central Africa. as we have
seen pictures Of Hottentot women
who wore their hair in about this
style. We believe il the hair is TO
hang down from the head. it should
hang behind instead OF in front.
This barbarous custom reminds us
Of the fashion Of bobbing the name
and tails of horses and mules, and
it may be that there is where the
women got it from. We don't
think the bang girl can be good
either, for it gives her a wicked
look, and she may place her bangs
down on the back of the pew ahead
of her during the morning prayer
and try to be good, but her corset
will be too tight and as she bitches
around TO ease the pain, one eye
will rise like the morning sun over
the back Of the pew, and that eye
will catch the eye of young man
two seats to the right, who is trying
TO cover his face with his hand and
look serious, and his interest in the
prayer is knocked into cooked
hat. The banging of girls hair
changes the whole nature of the
little wretch, and she becomes as a
gun that is not loaded.
1t is a good deal the same with
boy. You take a nice, quiet little
Sunday School boy (ike we used to
beg who can repeat two hundred
verses from the New Testament and
cut his hair with the clippers, and
he looks like Sullivan or Tug Viii

fusing TO allow the State to be sto-
len, briOed, bought up or made way
