OStcntation at Funerals.

1t is sad commentary on Christian
community, which takes that distinc-
tive title from religion whose found
er is called the conSoller. because His
word plucks the string from death,
with every circumstance Of woe and
gloom.
The distinctive ministry of the faith
seems to fail at the very point to
which it is especially addressed. The
natural Christian tone at the burial Of
the dead would seem to be the cheer
that springs from the thought of inn
mortality--a sublime hope, tender
resignation.
The Christian thought in that
hour should instinctivelv dwell upon
the soul, not upon the body. and the
simplest and most transformations rite
of burial would seem to be the most
truly Christian.
Bat the ostentation of Christian
funerals has become so great that
! burial reform associations are formed
both in this coutry and in England,
to relieve the poor of the painful and
and needless cost which. from mistaken
respect for the dead, they Will not
spare SO long as oStentation is the Gus

The kIOmely but UkefuI Girl.

The ''usefuF'.girl. writes Ella Wheel
er Wilcox in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, is not noticeable in any way.
Everybody makes use of her, and
everybody likes her.
She has no enemies and no lovers.
Women like her very much, and men
speak highly of her when she is
brought to their attention IN some
way: but they never think about her
voluntarily.
They appreciate her highly when she
helps them out of corner, and thank
her cordially, and then forget her UNI
til they need her again. She is not
apt to marry, for men do not care for
useful girls before marriage She can
sew, get a dinner if need be, amuSe
children, assist in getting up enter
tainments for other people to particip-
ate in, and'she is an excellent nurse and
reads aloud well, and sings a little
enough to rock a child asleep or to
help out a chorus She is like the
green ''everlasting, or old fashioned
"live-forever" plant-scentless, and
not beautiful, yet indispensable in

AT THE ONIONS SHRINE.
Ollio's Old Onion Society-AboIftIon-
fxt Giddings Was Proud Of 1t.

There was time in Ohio when the
onion was not only recognized upon It's
own merits. but men banded them
selves together in its honor. The
eminent abolition leader. Joshua X.
Giddings, was proud to be 4 member
of heOnion society that fiourished up
on the reserve in those days, when
men ate according to their likings and
cultivated what they ate. The people
Of Garfield township. perhaps, emil
grated from Wethersfield, Conn, that
famous first home of the American
onion. but be that as it may, they de-
clared in article ) of the constitution
OF the Onion society of Garfield that
ION the cultivation of the onion de-
ponds the prosperity of society,""
and, as an incentive to early and
active labor in this important field. or
dalned that the member who should
take the season by the forelocl1 and
first entertain the society on onions
of his own raising should be entitled
to seat for the evening at the right
hand OF the president" Honorable
mention was also made of the member
who .sed the largest specimen: and.
when any oultivator who belonged to
tie society so de-ired the president
was obliged formally TO inspect his
garden, or to assign 4 committee or
summon the whole society for the per-
formance of the task.
Under the provisions of the coustitu-
ton the Oldest member became presi-
dent, while a clerk was annually elect
ed at the first meeting after the cook
ing of the new crop" In article 4
some excellent and explicit directions
are given as to the social and CASTRO
nomic features of each stated gather
ing: As the object of this association
is to feast on the delicious vegetable,

hclpmate, pork, were the declared

The Onion society of Danbury, Conn,
was formally recognized by minute
on the society's record as the parent of
all societies of like character wherever
found.
The constitution of the society was
adopted July %, 1918. The member
ship was large, and the fame OF the
onion cooks of Garfield extended all
through northern Ohio. Elisha Whit
tlesy. Giddlings' predecessor in con-
gress, was an active member. while
Giddlings and Judge George Tod, Gov.
Tod's father, We're among the honorary
members. The leading politicians,
lawyers. and business men of Warren,
Ashtabula, Jefferson, and Cleveland
were only too glad to be invited to the
society's stated feasts. BY 1888 the
interest seemed to have died out, either
from lack of onions or too many, and
the society gradually went to pieces,
but few old men still remember those
feasts and grow hungry when they
think Of them.

A Cyclone Wax IS Havoc at WatertoWn.

WATERTOwN, June 3.-1esterday
afternoon a small funnel shaped cloud
suddenly appeared from the south and
soon developed into hurricane. The
roar that accompanied it was like a
huge fire, swapping and cracking in its
onward course everything that came
in its path Fortunately. it struck the
city on the extreme eastern limit,
where the buildings are scattered, and
the whole city is thankful tonight it
came no closer. Six barns along the
alley were demolished. The path of
the storm was about ore hundred feet
wide and it was miraculous that not a
single house in the city limits was in
its way. Horses were lifted from the
ground, hurled into the air and sent
sprawIing to the earth. Wagons were
taken up bodily and hurled to atoms
Five miles northeast of here two
houses and three barns were literally
carried away. The debris from the
storm as it left the city is spread along
nearly a mile. At Waverly, twelve
miles northeast, two coal sheds were
ruined and the brick smoke stack of
the roller mills RACED to the ground.
O. p. Chandler and son were pinned
under wrecked barn, but were only
slightly hurt. Three people were killed
at Hazel, sixteen miles southwest
that vicinity. No other fatalities were
reported. Heavy rain and hail fol

Odd School Discipline In Germany.

A queer case OF school discipline has
lately attracted attention in Germany
The teacher of village school, who
carried on the business of extracting
teeth to increase his paltry income,
utilized his dental skill for the dis
ciplining of recalcitrant pupils. Eight
boys were by him deprived of teeth.
which he thought they could get along
better without than with, as punish
ment for gross disobedience. The
parents of the pupils caused this odd
discipl marian to be prosecuted for
doing loiily injury to their offspring,
but the charge was dismissed because
the teacher proved by expert medical
testimony that instead of harming his
pupils he had actually benefited them.
This style of discipline, however, has
been prohibited.

BY means OF these measurements any
woman can ascertain for herself how
far she differs in proportion from the
two famous beauties. There is some
comfort, too, in the thought that both
were beautiful, although their proper
tons differ in important particulars;
and, doubtless, there are millions of
beautiful women who do not come very
close TO either. Taking Mrs. Langtry
IS type. it appears that the modern
woman runs less to shoulders and more
TO hips than the woman of antiquity.
The ancient also has decided adyant-
