A French Funeral Custom.

A funeral custom in vogue at present
is for the mourners at the obsequies of
some person of limited means to follow
the hearse in an omnibus. To be sure
it is very solemn vehicle, all black,
with "Omnibus Funeraire" inscribed in
large silver letters on either side, so that
the careless outsider shall not bounce
into the midst of the mourning multi
tude, but on the whole it seems to belit-
tie the dignity of grief. However, the
average Partisan does not specially en-
joy funerals unless they are grand Off
cial functions, when the crowd that
lines the streets has most unaffectedly
good time and is unsparing of lively and
frivolous criticisms on every detail of
the affair.--Paris Letter.

Indian Voters in Oklahoma.

The fact that the Indian can vote II
he lives sin severalty" and pays taxes
like any other citizen comes up at odd
times to bother new states and terri
tories. In 1859 it raised great row in
Minnesota. The legislature having en-
acted that Indians, whether on reser-
walton or not, who had taken certain
steps in civilization, such as dressing
like white men and wearing their hair
ditto, should have the right to vote, one
Cullen, an Indian agent, promptly cut
the hair of all those in his charge, put
breeches on them and marched them to
the polls.
Among the humors of the next cam
paign was dialogue like this: "Heh,
who cut your hair?" "Cullen g. Co."
Now Judge John Dills and other law
yers declare that the Indians in Oklaho-
ma will be entitled to vote at the COM
ing elections. They say the law pro-
vides that Indians taking land in sever
atty have the same right of franchise as
any citizen, and if this opinion be good
law the candidates will have $500 In
dams to buttonhole. If the Indians vote
it is likely to make great difference in
the congressional contest.

Necessity for Keeping Clean.


An old physician being appealed to
for some general comprehensive rule for
the preservation of good health, replied,
keep clean" Cleanliness, from med
ical point of view, generally means the
absence of noxious germs. The laity
generally comprehend in the term free
dom from foreign substances, while the
psychologist and moralist have refer
ence to purity of mind and soul. All
these combined wouldn't form the first
principle of good health. Freedom from
all filth with reference to the body and
Its surroundings, freedom from contain
nation of mind and soul, would make
the individual not only free from ma
terial pollutions, but would inspire him
with sense of cleanliness, a feeling of
purity that would cleanse life and glorify
the consciousness of living.
There is meaning in the word
"clean" that penetrates beyond things
seen and touches the mental and srir-
itual nature Of humanity. Cleanliness
in material sense may not abhor dissi-
pations and debauches which impress
life with sense of impurity, vitiating
the sources of health and impairing its
Judgment. "Keep clean" is an admoni-
ton carrying with it an inspiration
which not only invigorates life, but
makes it enjoyable and beautiful. Clean
illness brings not only comfort and
health, but it adorns living, gives exist
ence charm, imparts consciousness of
life, real enjoyment, thought and feel
ing of existence, the purpose and sane
tity of living. There is world of mean
ing in the two little words "keep
clean. "-Jenness Miller Illustrated.

The Real Vacation.

There are few wise Americans who
realize that what the vacation should
bring is not only change of scene but
change of habits. To these the new
doctrine of rest appeals with great
force. They make no attempt to get to
the fashionable summer resorts, but
shun those places almost as if the
crowded summer hotel were pestilen-
tial. They spend hours of each day
under the cool, fitting, noiseless shad-
ows of forest pines, where the wind
whispers tt softest and the bees drone
drowsily among the low white blossoms
of the wood flowers.
To these even the latest novel has no
appeal, and the whole lesson of life for
the moment is to do nothing, to be moth
ing. In the great stiffness of nature
peace and health go softly hand in hano,
soothing the relaxed muscles with a
power giving touch; and, in the deli
cious land of day dreams, the brain,
sung almost to sleep by the hushed
croonings of the cool breeze among the
tree tops, grows young and strong again.
In the quiet of the grand cathedral of
its maker, even the soul forgets the
battles, the downfalls, the cuts and
scars Of life's great fight, and become
something the more wholesome, purel
and stronger.
A week of such life is worth months
spent in dogcarts, yachts and evening
hops; but among the great body OF those
who hurry away in early summer to The
country and back again in the fall, and
who imagine they have had a summer:
rest, such life is still, unfortunately
unknown.-Boston Advertiser.

Some of you are bereft. It is no ran
dom remark, because there is hardly a
family here that has not passed under
the shadow. You have been bereft.
Your house is a different place from
what it used to be. The same furni-
ture, the same books, the same pictures,
but there has been voice hushed there.
The face that used to light up the whole
dwelling has vanished. The pattering
of the other feet does not break up the
loneliness. The wave has gone over
your soul, and you have sometimes
thought what you would tell him when
he comes back; but then the thought
has flashed upon you, he will never
come back.
All! my brother, my sister, Christ
has sounded all that depth. Jesus of
the bereft soul is here today. Behold
him! He knows what 1t is to weep at
the tomb. 1t seems to me as if all the
storms of the worlds sorrow were COM
pressed into one sob, and that sob were
uttered in two words, Jesus wept."
l close my sermon with a doxology:
Blessing and glory and honor and
power be unto him that sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb, forever.

A Chem Stone Road.

In 1871 a piece of well made dirt road
in the small village of Gilbert, ~ miles
east of the city of Davenport, Ia, was
selected for little experiment. The
road was sixty feet wide, with sidewalks
and cutters, the latter occupying about
sixteen feet, leaving forty-four feet for
the highway proper. Five feet from the
center line of this forty four feet, on
both sides of it, We're staked boards, end
to end, each board one foot wide. Be-
tween these boards was dumped lime
stone, broken fine enough to pass through
2-inch ring. When the space between
the boards was two-thirds full the first
boards filled were moved forward
When the boards were removed the
upper edges of the rock rolled down,
thus widening the rock track between
one and two feet, leaving on each side
of the stone good dirt road sixteen feet
wide.
When the dirt surface became muddy
the travel went over the stone center,
which was thus made solid and smooth
without an expensive roller. This ex-
pertinent was completed in 1878 and the
travel over it was probably five times
as much as upon the average country
road. For sixteen years it remained in
perfect condition. Within the last two
years about three dollars has been ex-
pended upon it in repairs. 1t is in per-
feet condition still. Its original cost
was ninety cents for each twenty-five
cubic feet of stone. Had the same
policy continued, every rod of highway
in the district would have been macad.

KINGSTON, n. Y, Feb. 10.-[ Special j
One of the most frightful accidents that has
taken place here in some time occurred to-
day in that section of the city known as
Ponckhockie. Mrs. Mary Doolan stepped
out of her home for few minutes, leaving
her 9-year-old daughter Josie in the kitchen
Scarcely had she reached the yard before she
heard the screams of her child, and rushed
back only to find her enveloped in flames
She seized the little one in her arms and
endeavored to extinguish the flames, when,
almost In a moment, she was herself on fire.
Half frantic, she rushed for the street,
dropping the child in her haste. Mrs.
Doolan made her way across the street to
the house of neighbor, where she sank un-
conscious to the floor. Her head, arms and
hands were badly burned and blistered. !,
The charred remains of Josie were found
on the kitchen floor. They were in such
condition as to necessitate immediate
burial. Mrs. Doolan is in critical condi-
tion tonight and her recovery is doubtful.
The real cause of the accident is not known.
1t is said that the child had made paper
cigarette and was smoking it when her
clothes caught fire from spark. The
father is a hard working man in the employ
of the Newark Lime and Cement Company.
