Manning's Funeral Procession.

The sermon ended, the bishops file
down from the sanctuary and take their
places around the bier; and then in
turn, while the choir sings the "Beati
Mortui" of Mendelssohn, each bishop
walks around the c~atafalque, sprinkling
holy water and repeating the dissolution,
while clouds of incense. tGpin arise and
float in a pearly MET e to the roof.
This is the closing link in the long chain
of ceremony which has lasted two hours
and a half. Two and two down the aisle
comes the priestly procession. 1t is like
a page out of the Middle Ages.
The Jesuits and Oratorians in their
cassocks and white cottas come first,
followed by bearded Franciscans in gray,
Carmelites in brown and white, Bene-
dictines in black, Passionists also
in black, with the symbolical heart
shaped shield of black and silver
or their shoulders, barefooted Capu-
chins in brown, Dominicans (the Domini
CAM, the dogs of the Lord in black and
white, Servites, Oblates of ST. Charles
"a community founded here in England
by Cardinal Manning in honor Of S..
Carlo Borromeo of Milan) and Christian
Brothers; then come the canons in pur-
pie cassocks and lace trimmed cottas,
the bishops gorgeous in inter and vest
ments, the choir led by Father Cox, of
the Pro-Cathedral, AID lastly the bier,
borne on the shoulders of the Brothers
of the Oratory, passes slowly along be-
tween the kneeling lines of mourners.
A last reverent touch of the sweeping
golden fringes of the velvet pail, and all
that is left Of one of the great English
men Of our time is borne onward and
outward from the warm, golden starred
dusk of the Oratory to the cold darkness
of the outer world, which, alas! will
know his gentle presence never again

A New Hotel Fire Alarm system.

A new fire alarm system for use in
hotels consists Of electric bells having
gongs Of from six to ten inches to suit
the requirements of the building. The
gongs are mounted on a polished base,
having a box (under lock- attached for
holding two cells of dry battery and an
automatic drop. The drops are con-
nected in series to their respective boxes
in the halls and pushes located in the
Office. This fire alarm system has no
connection whatever with the working
of the annunciator, and does not in any
way interfere with the working of the
combination return call bells located in
the rooms.
Upon pressing the fire alarm buttons
the drops in the various boxes in the
series or floors operate and close the
local circuit to their respective bells
and batteries. Each bell having its own
battery is entirely independent of any
other bell. The bells will continue to
ring until reset. In each hall or desig-
mated place are located small alarm
boxes containing a push button.-Elec-

Wi.:ii LONDON WAS NOISY.
In ti.e Time of George IL There Was
IprOar E~verywhere

In ti.e Time of George II There Was
Uproar Everywhere.
We who now object to the noise of a
barrel organ in the street, or a cry of
milk, or a distant German band, would
be driven mad by a single day of George
lis London streets. Hogarth has
touched the subject, but only touched
it. No one could do more in a picture
than indicate the mere fringe of this
vast subject. Even on the printed page
we can do little more than the painter.
For. instance, the following were some
Of the more common and every day and
all day long noises: Some of the shop
keepers still kept up the custom of hav-
ing a prentice outside bawlirg an invi-
tation to buy! buy! buy!
To this day butchers in Clare market
cry out at their stalls all day long:
Rally up, ladies! Rally up! Buy!
buy! buy!" In the streets of private
houses there passed a W ending pro-
cessiOn of those who bawled things for
sale. Here are a few of the things they
bawled; | am conscious that it is a very
imperfect list. There were those who
offered to do things-mend chairs, grind
knives, solder pots and pans, buy rags
Or kitchen stuff, rabbit skins, hair or
rusty swords, exchange old clothes and
wigs, mend old china, cut wires-this
excruciating, rasping operation was ap-
parently done in the opener cooper
casks.
There was next the multitude of those
who carried wares to sell-as things to
eat and drink-saloop, barley broth, rice
and milk furmety, Shrewsbury cakes,
eggs, butter, lily white vinegar, hot peas
Gods, rabbits, birds, pullets, ginger
bread, oysters, honey, cherry ripe, Cha
ney oranges, hot collins, pippins, fruit
of all kinds, fish, taffety tarts, fresh
water, tripe, tansy, greens, mustard,
salt, gray pease, water crosses, shrimps,
rosemary, lavender, milk, elder buds; or
things Of domestic use-lace, ribbons,
almanacs, ink, small coal, sealing wax,
wood to cleave, e~arthenware, spigots,
combs, buckles, lanterns, pewter pots,
brooms in exchange for old shoes, things
Of horns, Holland socks, wooden socks
and wrappers, birthstone matches, flint
and steel, shoe laces, scissors and tools,
straps and the thousand and one things
which are now sold in shops.
The bear-ward came along, with his
animal and his dogs and his drum, the
sweep shouted from the housetop, the
ballad singer bawled in the road, the
tumbler and the dancing girl set up
their pitch with fife and drum. Nobody
minded how much noise was made. In
the smaller streets the good wives sat
with open doors, running in and out,
gossiping over their work; they liked the
noise; they liked this perambulating
market-it made the street lively, it
brought the neighbors out to talk and
it pleased the baby. Then the wagons
went ponderously grinding over the
round stones Of the road, the carts rum
bled, the brewers sledges growled, the
chariot ratified, the drivers quarreled,
cursed and fought.

tinual murmur of London as of Niagara

The New Star.

The new star, like a brand new baby,
has now been photographed in every
possible position by the astronomers at
the Cambridge observatory. It's a very
bright star, it is said, and in that re-
spect also the comparison to a new baby
holds good. Photography has now be-
come of great assistance to astronomers
in their study of the heavens. About
10000 plates are at the Cambridge OBJ
servatory, making an unparalleled col
lection of Photographic records of every
part of the sky.-Springfeld Republi-

ing story of the way they were treated
at Omak:laEe, where they were stopping
for the winter. Failing in an attempt
to convert the couple and have them
married in accordance with the doctrine
of the church, the priest and police un-
dertook to accomplish their object by
force, and a free fight resulted, in which
the friends of the lovers took a hand
and bested the police. Requirements
were sent for, but before they arrived
the couple had fed the camp and came

Keeping Them from mo Irap.

A gentleman Ewing III suburban town near New York not long ago found himself much annoyed by 9 family of mice who lived behind walls of his room and had cut door through for their own use. Not only did their scampering about and their gnawlng disturb his sleep, but they nibbled holes in his clothes, made free with his provisions visited the canary in it's cage and ate up it's seed, and in many ways made themselves disagTeeable.
 At last he bethought him of trap, which he at once procured and placed near the mouse door. The first night he caught mouse, the second an other, and so t went on till he had disposed of five of the enemy. Then several days passed without his catch ing any, though he still heard them frullicling within the walls.
 He examined the mouse door in his basebOard, and to his surprise found it tightly closed Being curious about this he pulled the filling out with difficulty, for it was put in to stay and found lt to consist of bits of plas- ter and other rubbish He left the hole open, but the next night it was again filled up He repeated his clearing out and again ii was closed
 Five times in this way did he undo the work of the poor little mouse mamma, who undoubtedly filled it up to prevent her little ones from venturing through what had proved a fatal gate for somany At last the poor creature seeing that her efforts to protect her children were in vain, decided to remove them from tempta- ton aRd they were beard no more.
