PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

The late Robert Browning translated parts of Homer into English when he was eight years old.
 ! Rev. Thomas R. Bacon, son of the late Leonard Bacon, has become a pro- lessor in the University of California.
 ". Clark Russell, ''the novelist of the sea-" lately said to an interviewer that his friends ''try and tempt mo ashore. No,' I say; I am web-footed, and 1 shall stick to the sea-"
 Two autograph letters of Talleyrand were lately sold in Paris. They were written to lady, the first on tue death of her husband: Dear Madam: Alasl Your devoted Talleyrand," and the sec ond on her remarriage: "Dear Madam: Bravo! Your devoted Tallcyrand."
 Mrs Longman, widow of the late Thomas Longman, died in London re- gently in her seventy-fftn year. She was the last of the generation of the house that published for Scott, Southey, Coleridge, Moore, Campbell, Sydney Smith, Mackenzie and Macaulay. She took keen interest in all the great literary projects with which her husband was connected.
 While the number of new books published in England and the United States was smaller last year than dur ing the previous one, as shown by the tables published in this department re- gently, Germany shows an increased activity, nearly thousand more vol umes being issued during 1889 than in 1888, while the advance is among the- better branches of literature.
 There is a peculiar interest as to the disposition of Robert Browning's library. It includes collection of books and manuscripts bequeathed to him by his friend Landor, among them being copies of some of Landor's rarest works, annotated by the author, with many letters and papers. Prot Colvin had access to this treasure when he was pre- pairing his volume on Landor for the ''Men of Letters Series
 The AbysSinians will soon have the "Pilgrim's Progress in their own tongue, the Alhamric. It has been translated by GebrA Georges, student in Dr. CommlndTS institution at Flor ence. II will be printed at Crischona in tho -lative tJpe, and be ready in the autumn. Tho Religious Tract Society is bearing half the cost of it's produc- tion, about fifty pounds sterling; and the Alhamric will be the eighty-fourth language into which Bunya1's book has been translated.
 Nothing, it is said, pleases William Morris, the English poet, -Iore than to be mistaken fC- Q sailor He is robust and square-built, has shaggy hair, and delights ir rough apparel, and his gen eral appearance is somewhat nautical. One night he was overhauled by sea- faring man. ''Avast there!' cried the stranger; don't I know you? Weren't you at one time mate of the brig Sea Swallow?" To be mistaken for sailor was charming: to be mistaken for the mute of a ship bearing so poetic ; name as the Sea Swallow WIS simply glorious. "YeS l am he," said Morris, and he locked arms with the stranger, piloted him into an ale house and filled him full of liquids and substantials.

FUNERALS IN CITA ,.
Many of Them Are Now Conducted
 UndertaG Sh",s.

Many of Them Are Now Conducted in
 UndertaG-'.' Shops.
 Successful uLder;aAeTS Tn New York nowadays have to be prepared to fur n;sh church and cler. ;man along with the other rec uIrenenJs for a funeral. Not very long ago It Was an exceptional thing for funeral services to be held in an unlertaker's shop. Only the bodies of the friendless or of those whose friends were too poor to afforl any bet ter accommodation were then taken from the undertaker's direct to the grave. Of late, however, the phrase: ''The funeral will be h.. l at the paIiur of So-and-So, undtr;ah"rs,'' is fre- quently seen attae Led to death notirps, and even more often the piare where the funeral is to be held is designated by it's street number only. Nine times out of ten tho place so designated is an undertaker's shop.
 The way this has come about has been chiefly through the increasing reluctance of hotel and boarding house keepers to have funeral in their house. Friends of those dying in such places are gen orally given to understand that an inn mediate removal of the body would be highly appreciated, or, if the friends ap- pear within a few hours, the pro- prietor summons an undertaken and has the body removed. Uniass the de- ceased person has near relatives in the city it is generally matter of difficulty for the friends to find place in which to hold the funeral, unless they wish to go to the expense of a church funeral, and have claim upon some church of which they can make use. In this way it has naturally come about that bodies have been left to lie Tn the undertaker's rooms, and at the time set for the fu- neral the friends have gathered there and listened to a brief service pro- nounced by some clergyman, supplied by the undertaken, too, perhaps, and thence have borne the body directly to the grave.
 With the increase of this custom the undertakers have been compelled to in- cre;.so the size of their rooms and to fit them up better and differently from or dinary shops of the sort. One city undertaken has gone so far as to clear out the whole front of his store and leave large room nearly seventy-fve feet deep, with paneled, church-like ceiling and walls, which can be filled with chairs if necessary, where the serv- ices are held. It is not unusual for as many as two or three hundred persons to gather at funeral services held in this shop. Some quite well-known per sons have been buried from there. One, woman, who had been in life we'll known advocate of cremation, went from there to the crematory only few days ago.
 Some urdertakers think that this GUS tom will continually increase in city like New York, and that in time every undertaken will have to keep a sort of small chapel, in connection with his shop, for the use of his customers. At present those who have the facilities for allowing services to be held in their sfo make an extra charge for the use of the rooms for that purpose, but com petition is already doing away with that.

OUR FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
They Are Not Only Foolish, But Danger
 ous to the Health as We'll

They Are Not Only Foolish, But Danger.
 ous to the Health as We'll.
 There iS no reason why a reform
 should not be made. In the first place,
 why should ladies follow body to the
 grave? It is not so in England. It is
 certainly not in good taste. The
 trouble is that there is a good deal of
 the circus in the American nation We are fond of pomp and glitter and all the
 hollow shams that our noble ancestors
 fled from Europe to escape. We per petuate these mockeries in all sorts of petty ways-funerals, for instance.
 Some wretched Italian dies who never in his lifetime had ten dollars to- gether, but as he was a member of some society for the purpose of giving grand funerals be is borne to the grave with as much ceremony as if he were the savior of his country or the martyr of a lost cause. If he belongs to a military organization, all the more pomp and fanfarronade. But we do not speak about public funerals, but about pri- vate. We carry a good deal of humbug- gerry into them. There is no necessity of making dress-parade of funeral, and displaying grief in an inordinate line of carriages, and asking personal friends to expose themselves to chill winds with every chance in their favor of catching a deathly cold while acting as pall-bearers. The undertaken should provide the pall-bearers, and only few of the family should follow the body to the cemetery. If there are to be re- igiOus services, let them be held in the house. What more cruel words are there than what the preacher says at the grave: ''Dust to dust" and what more narrowing sounds than the shovel ing in of the earth and stones upon the coffin of some loved friend whom we have just consigned to that narrow earthly home? It is sickening and brutal to compel women and children to be present at such horrid spectacle. Men have to be buried, it is true We'll, then, let the burial ceremony be per formed in mortuary chapel, and let the actual burial take place when none are present. There is urgent need for re- form in the management of our tuner lls, and, till such time as there is, we may expect deaths to follow in family from having pursued our present idiotio fashion of burying our dead.-San Fran cisco Newsletter.
