REGULATING HIS OWN FUNERAL
All Arrangements Made by Topeka Man
for His Obseuuies.

for His Obsequies.
A Topeka man of practical turn Of
mind has made a will regulating his
own funeral. A friend who is a parson
is to come from a distance to say Il
prayer. Another friend, who is not a
Iarson, not even church member is
to make a short talk. Another friend,
who is a woman and sweet singer, is
to request three musical friends--an-
other woman and two men-to join
With her in singing appropriate hymns;
while another friend, a young fellow
who learned the keyboard while ION the
road" for a music house, is to preside
at the organ. The undertaken is not to
wear plug hat, or a big diamond stud,
or dressy Prince Albert coat, or in
any manner to appear as if he had
snatched moment from a banquet to
bury the dead. He is to be modest
and humble, giving the corpse a chance
for public attention-its last chance
The pallbearers are not to be labeled.
They will be distinguishable from the
corpse by the fact that they will be alive,
and their duties will be understood
without wearing printed sign. They
must be good fellows, too, bright fell
lows, and they are requested to beguile
the way to the grave with cheerful
anecdotes of their dead friend.
None of them may wear gloves-un-
dertallers' gloves are so starchy and
stuffy-and man whose hands sweat is
barred; it furnishes the handles of the
coffin. Grips and signs, swords, feath-
ers and bands are prohibited. The par
son who shall say the first prayer shall
say the last, and ''sprigs of myrtle or
acacia" are forbidden. The pallbear
CTS are to line up and witness the final
closing of the grave. All the funeral
arrangements are to be in charge of
another friend, a woman, who shall
comfort the family and see that chumps
keep away from the house; that brown
les be not permitted to ''sit up with the
corpse" She shall receive flowers, if
any, friends may bring in, return
thanks for them in writing and request
the newspapers not to call them floral
offerings" She shall also detach cards
from these pretty remembrances and
preserve them for the family; the coffin
it shall not be called "caskeJ"-
must not wear the appearance of a
floral bargain counter. That moss
grown title head, THE Last Sad Rites"
must not appear over the newspaper
accounts of the funeral, and having
done this last kind service in fairly
good English and short sentences, city
editors are requested to turn again their
attention to life and the beautiful world,
leaving the dead man to make his own
way across the dark river-Kansas City

JAPANESE TRAITS.
The Cleanest and Most Orderly People in
the World.

In Japan old people are never shelved.
A japanese never retires into private
life, but ascends. Old age is venerated.
There is no imperative mode, there
fore no dictatorialness; they are noise
less, therefore no strife occurs in their
streets; no worrying, no quarreling,
but absolute obedience is rendered to
the head of the house.
For talking too much wives are some-
times divorced, SO the women suffer
without complaint. Their watchword
is damatte-silence.
Very early hours are kept in Japan.
The emperor gives audience from seven
a. M, and the imperial landeau, with the
empress in European dress, can be seen
as early as $50.
The japanese feel the cold intensely,
but this does not deter them from con-
slant bathing. They are the cleanest
people in the world, bathing many
times during the day. The hands, nails,
hair, and teeth of the poorest peasant
are spotlessly clean, though there is
neither soap or any word for it in Ja-
pan. Rice bran in little bags is used
as we use soap. 1t is also employed as
stufliing for pillows.-Mrs F. G. de
Fontaine, in Chautauquan.

CRUELTY IN TENERIFFE,
Oxen Are Driven Full Speed Into Dead
Wall.

a lady reader appeals to me to notice
letter in the journal of the Humanita-
rian league respecting the atrocious
cruelty which is practiced on animals
in the island of Teneriffe. The writer
af1irms that the cruelty there surpasses
anything he has ever seen even in other
Spanish colonies, and he gives some
sickening details of the torturing of
dumb creatures in everyday work,
and at bull fights and other spectacles.
One entertainment peculiar of the town
of Laguna is thus described: "a yoke
of oxen are fastened to an empty cart
of the ordinary two-wheel kind used
here, and as many men as can get near
the poor animals keep alongside, run
ming and goading them to agony with
the terrible long steel spur in the end
of pole or stick, the spectators keep
ing up in mob with yells and shouts,
while one man keeps in front of the
poor oxen. The trick of the affair is
that this man shall thus keep his posi-
ton at the head of the animals. A
blind lane is chosen, stopped by wa
or something at one end. Into this the
poor animals are driven at a furious
gallop, and encountering the wall fall
into a heap along with the heavy cart
The man is supposed to be agile enough
to escape and is looked upon as a hero
1t is no matter if the legs of the poor
animals are broken by the collision
that is only to be expected, and they are
slaughtered on the spot for a further
spectacle" 1t is shocking to read of
such barbarous practices, but it is of
little use for an English paper to con-
denim them.-London Truth.

The writer had corralled a western
man in hotel lobby and was holding
him up for all there was in it, which
was a good deal, considering that the
man hadn't been east for ten years or
more, and had never fallen into the
clutches of the journalist in quest of
an item of interest.
you We're asking me awhile ago
about the lariat and its uses" he said,
land it reminds me of time on one
occasion when it served an excellent
purpose as life preserver.
1T isn't always used for that, is it?"
queried the writer.
well, no" laughed the westerner,

there was no other rope handy and the
boss thief was. But this time was diff
ferent, he went on. Il know, because
i was the one preserved. We were
up in the canyon country looking for
some cattle, and one of the boys and l
had gone off the trail to stream to
take bath, as you might call it in the
east, for it was hotter than blaZes and
shade was not plentiful. We went into
the water some distance above turbu-
lent rapid and a waterfall of twenty
five feet, and as we didn't go to swim
so much as to get cool, all we needed
was enough water to cover us, and
that's all my companion took.
81 was, however, more ambitious,
and having been fine swimmer when
l was in the east | thought / would
branch out bit. | was soon branch
ing out extensively, and the first thing
l knew the swift water caught me and
down | went toward the fall. | tried
to pull for the shore, but it was no
good, and then l set up yell that
made the canyon echo, and my partner
came after me along the shore. l was
fifty feet out in the stream, struggling,
and there wasn't any more sign of sal
walton for me than if | had been in
midocean.
Down l kept going, whirled and
turned upside down and fred around
promiscuously, until, about hundred
yards above the final fall, caught on
rock. 1t was just high enough to
keep my Icdu OuO VI NdlCI, anu uuHR
to it till my finger nails seemed to be
imbedded in it. My partner at this
iuncture showed what kind of fellow
he was in an emergency, for he APP
peared on shore with our two lariats
tied together, and just as l was about
to let go and be smashed on the rocks
below he swung that lariat as cool as
hr ever did from the back of his mus
tang and it dropped square over my
head. The rest of it | am not very con-
scious of, because by the time he had
pulled me ashore by the neck l was
about as near hung as | ever want to
be, but he brought me around all right
in the course of half an hour or so, and
Twas quite as good as new again"
THAT was a narrow escape" re-
marked the writer.
And that was an odd fellow who
saved me" added the westerner; for

given him that I'll be blamed if he
didn't turn to before the day was over
