Taking the Veil. :

some lively language for a few
minutes and then the veil was re.
turned to it's original owner.
The taking was claimed to be
accidental.

OUR FUNERAL CUSTOMS.

They Arc Not Only Foolish, But Danger
Gus to the Health AS Well.
There is no reason why reform
should not be made. In the first place,
why should ladies follow body to tho
grave? 1t is not so in England. 1t 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 member OF some
society for the purpose Of giving grand
funerals be is borne to the grave with
as much ceremony as II he were the
savior of his country or the martyr of a
lost cause. II 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 good deal of humbug-
gerry into them. There is no necessity
OF making a 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-
ligious 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? 1t is sickening and
brutal to compel women and children to
De present at such horrid spectacle.
Men have to be buried, it is true. Well,
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 funer-
ais, and, till such time as there is, we
may expect deaths to follow in family
from having pursued our present idiotic
fashion of burying our dead.-San Fran

HOLDING THE PASS.
Every Boy Soldier, Brave or Otherwise
The Enemies TO BE Overcome.

Every Boy a Soldier, Brave or Otherwise
The Enemies 60 BE Overcome.
Now, although there is no war in our
dear country just at present, and though
small boys can not go to fight in the
United States army in time OF war, there
is real soldering to be carried on all the
time. Every boy is a soldier, brave or
otherwise: and every boy has his enc
mics. Real enemies they are, too, and
nothing but real pluck will overcome
them.
One day Leonidas was training his
soldiers; this time three little dogs that
he had coaxed home with nina terrier,
pug and a mongrel Dogs we're very
fond Of our boy and a retinue of these
little beasts generally followed him
about The three dog soldiers had been
in training for some time and were
quite credit to their teacher. But, as
it happened, the day was wet. the
ground very muddy, and the three
soldiers, having twelve feet among them,
had soiled mammals carpet The lady,
seeing this, was indignant and opened
the door and disbanded the army.
The General threw himself fat upon
the floor and set his heroic heels flying.
Some very naughty words came out of
his mouth--words that surprised and
grieved his mother. She sat down and
looked at him. At last she said, sorrow
fully: II thought my little boy was
trying to be hero, like the great
Leonidas; but see was mistaken"
Down went the heels and up jumped
the soldier.
what do you mean, mammag' he
demanded
Il mean that you have not kept the
pass like the Greek hero"
Leonidas hung his head, his cheeks
got very red, and his lip quivered.
"How, mamma?'' he questioned.
"How, my little soldier? Why, you
gave way without striking a blow, and
let the enemy come rushing in"
what enemy?"
Anger, rude words, disobedience,
bad manners.
The little general understood.
These are scme of the enemies we
have to fight in peaceful times" said
mamma. MY young Leonidas has as
great task before him as the Spartan
hcro-a task as full Of difficulty, and
bringing as great honor"
"What task?" asks the boy soldier.
lifting moist blue eyes.
1.-THE task of conquering your faults;
OF keeping out mean, cowardly, I'M
grateful feelings; of holding the pass
against words that are wrong and fool
ish."
This little talk made a deep i'm
preston upon little American Leonidas.
Indeed, when he was naughty, mamma
had but to say: Hold the pass, my
hero, " and he quickly put on soldierly
look and brought himself to order

Give Children Plenty of water.

For the reasons given, advocate
under all conditions plentiful addition
Of water to children's food. In this
connection would lay stress upon the
fact that as rule, small children re-
ceive water only as they get it in their
milk or milk food, alike in summer and
in winter. 1t is probable that the fact
seldom occurs to mother or nurse that
child may be thirsty without being
hungry at the same time. Certainly
many discomfort and even sickness in
child is conditioned upon the fact that
1t has been compelled to eat in order to
get its thirst satisfied, and often has to
suffer thirst because the over-stimulated

of big tree which he had not time to
climb and which would have done him
no good had he done so, for the bear
could have gone up it. as readily as he.
As the hunter leaped back and forth
he occasionally stumbled, and must
have missed the claws of the bear more
than once by the narrowest conceivable
chance. He was pretty well tired out
and could not have kept it up much

IN SAFE SHELTER.
One of the Amusing Performances of
Raw Recruit.

One of the Amusing Performances of 8
Raw Recruit.
General +. A. Walkers History Of
the Second Army Corps" is thoroughly
serious and workman-like piece OF writ
ing, but even in his account of the battle
of Fredericksburg, with its horrible and
seemingly useless slaughter, he can not
forbear to mention one of those amusing
performances of the ''raw recruit, +"
which so often provoked smile even in
the very presence of death:
In order to draw the enemy's fire from
one of the Federal columns, General
Couch took his stand, with his staff, in a
conspicuous position on the bluff. The
effort was eminently successful, and the
staff were soon the target of many guns;
but as the distance was considerable, no
damage was done beyond scattering
horses and men with mud thrown up by
the plunging shot.
just at this moment 1t happened that
some members OF the band of new
nine-months regiment, whose Colonel
had ordered 'the music" to remain be-
hind while the fighting men went over
the bridge, strolled up the bluff, at
tracted by curiosity; and the fellow
whose business it was to beat the big
drum set it deliberately down. and cast
his eyes in an interested way over the
exciting scene-the river wreathed in
the smoke OF a hundred guns, the city
beneath, torn by their bursting shells,
the broad plain, and the heights beyond
bristling with intrenchments
Although unused to war, the genial
recruit had no conception, that, atsuch
distance, he could be in any danger, I'M
til suddenly the fire OF battery was
turned upon the corps staff close by.
When three solid shot had struck the
ground, throwing the mud ten feet in
the air. and as many shrapnel had burst
in front, sending their fast spreading
fan of bullets whistling over the bluff,
a sense of the situation struck our new
friend, and, with ludicrous precipitancy,
he ensconced himself behind his drum,
where, though the case would not have
shed pistol-shot, he cuddled up with
an apparent feeling OF relief and secu-
rity, which, fortunately, was not dis
turbed by the impact OF three-inch
ball.-Youth's Companion.
