A Motto at a Funeral,

There are women who, if offered the
choice between a matinee and funeral,
will poll a tremendous vote in favor of
the funeral. The dramatic opportunity
is only a negative pleasure-the trap
pings of woe are a positive sensation.
There is a story told that a good though
eccentric dame long since gathered to
her accounting, in whom this passion
was abnormally developed, arrived in
town from her country place one day on
a shopping expedition. This lady heard
Of the death Of a mere acquaintance and
learned that if she hurried to the house
she would be just in time for the funeral
services. Shopping, as compared with
mourning, had no charms, and the lady
fastened to the house Of sorrow. Now
the constant travelling companion of this
good woman was a brown linen ~atrocity
in the nature Of handbag or roll. Upon
this bag, embroidered in large letters by
the misguided person from whom it was
a gift, was a motto. Arrived at the
house, u friend insisted upon having a
seat as near the casket as was possible,
and that achieved she placed the brown
linen structure across her lap, then set
tied herself with a sigh Of satisfaction.
The letters upon the bag, held within a
few feet of the deceased lady and visible
to all the mourners, spelled the words.
"Bon voyage. New York Recorder.

KEEN interest has been aroused
by the announcement that Mon
signor Satolli has ordered a more
general use of the English Ian
guage in the cathedral services of
the Roman Catholic church in this
country. It is believed that this
is but the beginning Of a change
that will end in the use Of English
in. all the churches attended by
English speaking people. The
result cannot fail to be beneficial
to the church. It will attract
Americans more readily than the
present service, and ease to some
extent the opposition that has Of
late become SO thoroughly organ
lied and SO annoying to the author
tiles and members Of this church.

The rose of Jericho, a plant with
which many superstitions are connected.
is called Rosa Mari9. or Mary's flower.
It is a small, bushy, herbaceous plant
about six inches high, of the nat
ural order cruciferm@, which grows in
the sandy deserts Of Arabia and Pales-
tine and bears small white flower on
many branches. When its leaves fall,
the branches contract toward the center
and coil themselves inward and inter-
lace like a ball of wickerwork, which is
blown about from place to place. When
it happens to fall into water, it %uncoils,
and its pods open and let out the seed.
If a specimen is taken before it is quite
withered, it will retain the property of
contracting in drought and expanding
in moisture for years Its generic name
-nastatica-signifies this seeming res
direction to new life. -Brook Eagle.

The western part Of the state is
just filled with men who feel from
the crown of their head to the sole
Of their foot that Jack MacColl
should be the next governor The
governorship has gone to the east
n part Of the state for years and
years and they think it is about
time that the west had a chance,
especially when they present such a
good man as Jack MacColl. The
sentiment seems to be growing in
this direction and as the conven-
ton time is quite a ways off it is
probable that the cry will be much
louder when that time arrives

The Many Absurdities That Chung Round

The Many Absurdities That Chung Round
the Ceremony Of Baptism.
Thus on the birth Of q child-to be-
gin at the beginning-it was impera-
tive that both the mother and babe
should be ''sained"-that is, q fir can
die was carried thrice round the bed,
and a Bible, with a hammock or some
bread and cheese, was placed under the
pillow and a kind of blessing muttered
Ito propitiate the "good people"
Sometimes a fir candle was set ON the
bed to keep them off. If the newborn
showed any symptom of Righteousness,
it was supposed to be a changeling, and
to test the truth Of this supposition the
child was placed suddenly before a peat
fire. when, if really a changeling, it
made its escape by the "lenn," or chin
ney, throwing back words Of scorn as it
disappeared. There was much eagerness
to get the babe baptized lest it should
be stolen by the fairies. If it died I'M
christened, it wandered in woods and
solitary places, ~lamenting it's melan-
choly fate, and was often to be seen.
Such children were called "tarans."
Allan Ramsay, in his Gentle Shep-
herd" describing Mause, the witch.
says Of her:
At midnight hours DER the kirkyard she raves
And houks unchristened weans out of their
graves
1t was considered q sure sign Of ill
fortune to mention the name of an "un-
oI~sc<0rol ~,1o~ onI oryon ~ 1o4%.orr,
the name was usually written on a slip
of paper, which was handed to the Off
ciating minister, that he might be the
first to pronounce it. Great care was
taken hat the baptismal water should
not enter the infants eyes, not because
such a mishap might result in wailings
loud and long, but because the sufferers
future life, wherever he went and what
ever he did, would constantly be vexed
by the presence Of wraiths and specters.
If the babe kept quiet during the cere-
mony, the gossips mourned over it as
destined to a short life and perhaps not
a merry one; hence, to extort a cry, the
woman who received it from the father
would handle it roughly or even pinch
it..
If a male child and a female child
were baptized together, it was held to
be most important that the former
should have precedence. And why? In
the Statistical Account of Scotland"
the minister of an Orcandian parish ex-
plains: Within the last seven years he
had been twice interrupted in admins
tering baptism to a female child before
a male child, who was baptized imme-
diately after. When the service was
over, he wa .gravely told he had done
very wrong. for, if the female child was
first baptized, she would, on coming to
the years Of discretion, most certainly
have a strong beard, and the boy would
have none. All the Year Round.

The law requiring the invest
ment of the permanent school fund
in state warrants was passed early
in the year 1891. From August,
1891, until November 3Oth, 1898,
the state paid to warrant holders
the enormous sum Of $136, %
in interest. During all this time
the law above referred to was ig-
nored. dereliction of the state
treasurer in respect to this law has
cost the tax payers of the state
nearly 5000, 600. It is time that
the law should be observed, in
spirit, if not in letter.-Bee.

NEBRASKA has again taken an
other step in advance of her sister
states. Her State Board of Health
has officially declared that a ply
stefan who advertises himself is
not guilty Of "unprofessional con-
duct" The medical world may
not accept as final this opinion,
but it would honor itself if it
would submit gracefully to the
inevitable. The code of medical
ethics has contained nothing more
fiimsy than the altogether sense
less provision that a physician who
advertised his business was a
charlatan and not worthy of the
respect of his professional breth-
rem. The time has gone by when
a physicians ability is measured
entirely by his devotion to medical
ethics. Agood physician is a good
physician whether he advertises
himself or not, and all the medical
codes in the catalogue cannot
change this fact.-Bee.

shall be free from the roughness
Of football. The chances are

IT IS now claimed on authority
that while not a candidate in the
sense Of being a scheming politi-
clan, Governor Crounse will will
ingly make the race again if re-
nominated. Lorenzo Crounse has
proven himself every inch the peo-
pies man during his incumbency.
He has the character and the prin-
ciples that should endear him to
the Republican masses, if not to
the politicians-who are largely
responsible for the grievous con-
dition Of the party at this time.

ernors of backbone. honesty and
