WOrth's Funeral.

The funeral procession of NJ. Worth
is described as it passed through the
streets OF Paris as "a trail Of black and
silver cut by most magnificent wreaths
and bouquets of flowers" One of the
most splendid and imposing of the
wreaths, says the New York Times,
was sent by the ribbon merchants Qes
marchands de rubans), and measured
fully three meters in diameter. 1t was
composed entirely of white and mauve
lilacs, great clumps Of purple and
mauve orchids, intermingled with ferns,
while at the top figured a superb bank
ing of fine feathery palms. The giant
bows and ends of ribbon about twelve
inches wide, crossing the wreaths in
teriorly, were of the finest and heaviest
satin in the most exquisite mauve tint.
In memory of their father, the two sons
of NJ. Worth have distributed over five
thousand dollars to Partisan charities.

FIGHTING A PIPE IN A WIND.

sportsman's Device When Matches
Failed to Do Their Work. :
Padding up Sebec lake last sum-
mer in birch-bark canoe" said a New
York sportsman, t'the breeze blew so
hard and constantly that, try as hard
as + might, could not keep match
ablaze long enough to light my pipe.
After half dozen matches had fared
out in the lighting of them, I made
some forcible remarks apropos of my
failure. ~s& ...~...N ~ 90:
s.'.Let me show you how to do it, said
my companion, an old Californian, who
was handling the bow paddle. Hand
me bit of that newspaper sticking out
Of your pocket
9..'He took the piece of paper and
crumpled it up into a wad, which he
retained in the palm of his hand. Then
striking a match, he closed both hands
about it to shield it from the wind,
after the traditional manner of the
railroad navy in lighting his pipe.
The flame instantly set the paper
smoldering on top without it's breaking
into blaze. He passed the burning
wad to me, and it served as a pipe
lighter equal to live coal, the high
breeze tanning instead Distinguishing
it. It was the simple invention OF q
practical mind, which served my turn
then and afterward, and I commend
the device to sportsmen needing finder
fora pipe light or to start camp fire. !"

THEY SHOCKED UNCLE REUBEN.
But He Learned to Endure, Then to @ssn'
brace, the Bloonner IA

brace, the BlOomcrs. *. g fSSsst 2eNAA
A family from the New England
states who moved to Chicago shortly
before the fair, and are now living on
the South side, received lettcr.a short
time ago that IA old relative, an es-
teelned bachelor uncle, familiarity
known to young and old as Uncle
Reuben" would make them . visit be-
fore he died, and, no time being like
the prcsent-not, of course, to die, but
to make them q visit-he would arrive
at such and such time, says the Chi-s
cago Times-Herald. @
Now, Uncle Reuben being, as they
term it in New England verracular,
"raither well fix'd," and having no
nearer blood relations than this family
in Chicago, his intending visit was
discussed and cordial invitation ex-
tended. %
The family, of which the male head
is a professional man, consists OF two
charming young daughters and an
equally charming mother this side OF
forty, but young for her age. The
family live in u rather swell neighbour
hood and move among the gayest set
on the South side, participating with
pleasure in all amusencnts, and IN
particular bicycling, both mother and
daughters belonging to swell club,
and having adopted the latest style IN
boomers. 10
Of course, knowing Uncle Reuben's
old fashioned ideas OF what is proper,
it would not do to appear on bicycle,
far less in a bicycle costume, but as
several days would elapse before Uncle
Reuben would arrive the ladies decided
one beautiful morning to take final
spin, and started out for their forenoon
of pleasure. NH
Three or four hours later they ar
rived home. let themselves in the house
with their latch keys, when, to their.
horror, who should they find in the
library but Uncle Reuben. The old
man stood speechless for minute and
then grabbed his hat and held it before
his face. ''Your skirts have fallen Off!
Your skirts have fallen off," the old
man cried. TO run upstairs and change
their costumes was the work OF few
minutes, and on descending the young
women found Uncle Reuben closely ex-,
aiming the wheels in the hall. n
It seems that Uncle Reuben had de-
cided to start earlier than he intended,
and that telegram had niscarried
in some way. TO now make Uncle
Reuben forget his first impression and
view the matter in a nineteenth CEN
fury way was the task the ladies had
before them, and when did not wo1nan's
wiles get the best of mankind? 4

THIS PRESS IN CHINA.

Shanghars GREATEST Daily Is Printed on
the Thtnnesc OF Rice Paper.
Shanghai is China's chief port, and
contains about 400, 900 inhabitants, who
are under native rule, and the English,
American and French settlements, J"
with $50, 900 Chinese and 5000 foreign.
ers, all of whom are under foreign rule
In that city tremendous congrega-.
tons gather in the mission churches
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, and there
are to be found the largest Sunday
schools in China. In Shanghai IS also
the largest mission press in the world.
More than 1000 Chinese converts are
connected with the different missions.
In the missions press electrotyping and
stereotyping are done, and over $4,000
pages are issued annually. The total
number of books and tracts issued last
year was 995, 496.
The Shun-Pao is the best paying and
most widely circulated Of the three ma
tive newspaper dailies of Shanghai. It
is an eight-page sheet, printed on the
thinnest of rice paper. It is so light
it does not weigh more than a mans
handkerchief, and so thin that the pa
per can be printed on one side only.
The paper goes to press in big sheets,
which are so folded that the blank side
is turned inward when taken in hand
by the subscriber, and so that there is
neither cutting nor FASTING. Owing to
the thinness Of the paper it has a greasy
yellow appearance, and it is printed so
closely with Chinese type that not an
inch seems to be wasted.
The headlines or title of the paper
consist of two Chinese characters, TAX
ing up space not wider than one of
the columns of our newspapers, and
not more than an inch in length. Its
price is 10 cash, which, allowing for the
difference in currency, makes it equiv
alent to half a cent in our money.
