FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. %, 1893.
Engilsh Funeral Etiquette.

There is one division of English eth
quette which strikes an American as
worthy of note, and that is In connec-
zion with the dead. On the day of
funeral every house in the immediate vi
entity has the blinds lowered until the
last carriage has passed, Every boy is
taught to lift his hat as the hearse goss
by, whether it be the funeral car Of the
noble or the pauper's hearse.
During the interval between the death
and the time that the body Is removed,
often week, no shouting must be in
dulged in by the children of the neigh
borhood, and no games must be played
near the desolated home. The merest
acquaintan sends card by servant
bearing message of sympathy, but there
is no intrr ion upon the mourners ex-
cept by the most intimate friends. Those
who attend the funeral services always
wear black gowns, bonnets and gloves,
and all letters of coincidence must be
written upon black edged paper and in
closed in an envelope to match.
English ladies do not 60 to the grave,
though there have been some notable ex-
ceptions during the last few years in the
cases of wives OF prominent men. Their
departure from the old custom Is one Of
many indications that English women
are preparing to take their rightful place
in the world-that they are no longer
content to be regarded as helpless crea-
turesL n,ut may the day he far distant
when they shall lose the gentle courtesy
which is the charm of the English home.

Concerning Microbes.

One would by no means be willing to
set himself against science, but may it
not be possible that the professors are
getting the microbe question a little
struck in on their brains, as it were?
We ask as one desiring information. If
they do not stop microbe seeing or Gre
ating microbes out of the thought ether,
they will begin to drive the common
mind to madness.
We are now told that every time we
take bite of bread and butter we eat
a microbe population equal in number
to that of the whole United States. The
microbes are IN the butter, we are told,
and the pleasant information is added free
of charge that they fall from the body of
the COW during the process of milking, no
matter though she is the sweetest Jersey
that ever took Worlds fair prize. If
you eat pinch of cheese, it is still
worse. You dare not take drink of
unboiled water either without swallow
ing microbes enough, if they were dol
lars, to pay off the national debt and all
the United States pensioners besides.
Most maddening of all is the Informal
ton that from the hands, nails and lips
Of our dearest friends issue billions and
billions of iendish, wriggling, horned
monsters agape and ready to devour us
night and day. Really, is life worth
living any more?
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1893-09-22
Raising Talking Parrots.

The talking powers of a parrot depend
to great extent on its being taken in
hand at very early age. This would
be one advantage of rearing these birds
in confinement. Under such conditions
also it would be practicable to vastly
improve the speaking faculty by mating
the best takers together for generations.
Thus would be produced such feathered
conversationists as are unknown up to
date. It would certainly be profitable
to breed and raise the parrots known as
Carolina parrakeets. These are rare now
and bring high prices, though they used
to be very common as far north as Penn
sylvania and Illinois. At present the
few survivors are almost wholly con-
fined to scattered localities in Florida
and the Indian Territory. They have
been successfully bred in captivity. The
green Australian parrakeets of the sort
used by strolling fortune tellers on the
streets are among the easiest of birds
to rear. Washington Star.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1893-09-22

The age of a person and the month in
which he was born may be discovered as
follows: First you ask him to go to the
other end of the room to prevent your
seeing what he is going to write. Then
you ask him to put down the number Of
the month in which he was born and
multiply it by 2, then add to the sum,
and multiply the latter by 80; add his
age to tho product, then deduct 1865, and
add Ito to the remainder. Suppose he
is 40 years of age and was born in Feb
ruary, the computation might stand
thus: Two multiplied by equals 4, plus
equals 8, multiplied by so equals $50,
plus 40 equals 400, minus 365 equals 1874,
plus 1l5 equals 249. The last two fig
ures indicate the age-viz, 49-and the
first figure (2) February, the second

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1893-09-22

When the splendid new triple screw
cruiser Columbia was planned, it was
with the design of combining in her
high speed with great coal economy and
endurance. The preliminary trip of
the vessel from the Cramps shipyard
FULLY justifies the expectation and will
Darn for her builders the premium which
no American grudges to them for con-
Btructing what promises to be the fastest
naval vessel afoat. Under unfavorable
conditions of wind and water the Column
bia made maximum speed Of 81 $40
knots an hour, with her engines indi-
eating much less than their maximum
power. This is the highest speed made
by any vessel of our navy on the pre-
liminary trip.
