''The making of cigar labels requires
the greatest photographic skill. The de-
sign is first executed in water colors by
the artist, after which it is transferred TO
specially prepared Bavarian stones, a
separate stone being required for each
color. By printing different colors on top
of each other the most wonderful and
pleasing combinations are produced. Sew
eral labels are printed at Il time. Only
for this the cost would be enormous, for
it is so difficult TO justify the different
parts to the necessary nicely that large
proportion has to be cast aside as imper-
feet. Each firm has large supply of
stock labels, TO which new designs are
constantly being added, so that when a

A very singular form Of neuralgia 4
that affecting the nerves of arnputated
limbs Il not rarely happens that after
an amputated stump has healed the nerves
OF the stump, being compressed in the
scar, become exceedingly painful Curl
ously the pain IS NOS felt in the stump, but
in the extremity Of the limb which has
been amputated In one coming under
the notice Of the writer man whose arm
had been aTnputated above the elbow re-
ferred the exquisite pain he felt TO the
little finger Of the amputatei hand years
after the operation An Old one legged
soldier, applying for al increase Of pen
sion, said: He had more pain IN the foot
which amt. than in the foot which are-''
continued TO have pain IN the foot which
he had lost on the battle field many years
before
The explanation Of this consists in the
fact that the terminal 6lameuts Of a nerve
are its most sensitive parts; they are the
s'feelers, - the points from which tbs sen
sations start on their course TO the brain,
where they give notice that something Is
wrong with the outlying districts When
the nerve Is injured IN its continuity the
sensation IS often referred 10 the terminal
ends Every one who has struck his
crazy bosle''-the point above the elbow
where the uInar nerve is very superficial

The worst part of the carriage extrava-
gance or abuse prevails among the tene-
ment population Not long since ! saw a
funeral in one OF the poorest tenement
neighborhoods, and heard the boast that
there were not less than sixty carriages
behind the hearse. / was told, too, that
at previous funeral in the same neigh
borhood the deceased had the honor of
being followed TO the grave by eighty car
riages, filed with mourning relatives and
friends. An old woman in one of the
shabbiest OF the tenements informed me
that she had lost her only daughter not
long before, ''b1t,n she added with a
touch Of pride III her voice, ''she had the
finest funeral ever seen in the First
ward" Hiring a carriage for funeral is
no small item TO tenement family of the
average kind The cost is from So to -,
according TO the distance, and there al
ways are some incidentals.
Now SO or IS Is pretty large
sum in u tenement, and the outlay
Of it for carriage TO attend a funeral Is
in many cases simply the throwing away
of money that is needed at home Too
often when the landlord or agent calls for
his rent he is told: Il had to go to a
funeral, sir, and there isn't dollar in
the house" Very often, too, when the
grocer asks for his bill, he is also told
that the money was spent at a funeral
possibly OF a mere acquaintance or some
distant relative-and there's nothing for
him. The funeral abuse is certainly q
serious one among the working people in
New York, but how it is TO be cured / do

F1owsrs for the Dead.

] want 10 say a word with regard to the
offerings OF flowers sent to adorn the coffin
Of the dead The idea of laying fresh
blossoms ON the dead is beautiful one
but it is oyerdoue. People in society
vince now as much al the notion of a
burial as at that of a bridal, for both
mean an outlay. The number of wreaths
that fashionable parsonage with an ex-
teusive circle has to buy yearly is some
thing alarming. What slaves people are
TO the DEGREES OF society," Especially those
people on the bor1erland who are afraid
to drop them, ever so little, lest they
should appear outsiders. Yet far more
happy and respected are the outsiders of
similar rank, who live as they choose, and
do not fret themselves TO death BIZ en-
deavoring TO keep up in customs and ira
ditions with those fate has made higher
and richer than themselves, dropping COM
forts and pleasures within their means to
grasp after i:nposSibilities- 1t is piteous
TO see the coffin of a man smothered in
expensive ex0tics when it is known for a
fact that his whole income died with him
that he has saved nothing for his fam
lily, and that henceforth his widow and
children are dependent for support on the
grudging allowance of relatives and
friends. who, perhaps, themselves need
every penny they can earn.-Clara Belle

Country hunters always laugh at city
men when they go out TO hunt, carrying
town bred dogs with them, and they re
right. too, for there's not one in hundred
dogs trained in city that can hunt with
a country dog and keep up his end OF the
work. think it is because the town dog
is fed too much and too irregularly. l
have some hunting dogs that have made a
reputation in the country. Whenever
take them out on hunt feed them
heartily the night before, and the next day
they don't get morsel until the hunt IS
over. Then l feed them while they re
warm from work, and the next day they re
ready to do more good hunting. have
heard of hunters who starved their dogs
twenty-four and some forty-eight hours
before hunt, but think that tits is car
rying the plan to an extreme when
