A Memorable Funeral.

It has often been asserted that alcohol hurts the head rather than the heart, and the maudlin sentimentality that marks certain stages of the stimulant fever may really often have been mistaken for 8 symptom of an amiable disposition. Ha- bituaI intemperance, however, as often engenders temper that can be described as brutal only for lack of a stronger term, and hardly without an injustice to our in- |tinct-guided fellow creatures. Parental affection frequently prevails against the less noble propensities even in beasts of prey, and neither 8 wolf nor a grizzly bear would have been capable of the outrage which MT. Robert King, Christian citi- zen of New York city, committed under the influence of liquor.
 His passion for strong drink often caus- ed him to neglect his home, though his wife was forbearing to 8 fault, and his daughter Mamie was the pet of all her teachers and neighbors. Her mother says she was the best girl woman ever had, and when she feil sick the poorest of her acquaintanoes forgot their own troubles and spent hours at the bedside of the wan faced child.
 On the nineteenth of April Mamie died. Her father had been spending that day at a beer shop and did not return the next morning, but the friends of the family gathered at his home, No. 45O West 17th Street, and covered the little coffin with flowers. ''I cannot imagine where Rob- ert can be-" said Mrs. King, Hmy boy has been looking for him everywhere and l don't know what to make of it."
 A few minutes Robert King explained the enigma by lurching into the room with a shower of blasphemies. He was cov- cred with mud, and knocked down a table near the door of the bedroom. "Hand's a quarter" he hfcooughed, "what's the -" noticing the crowd of visitors, "what the blankety blast-furnace are ye all try ing to do-get out of this, now"'
 Be still, father" said his sixteen-year old daughter, Alice.
 "Still nothing" shouted King, "I'll show you who's boss in this ranch" giv- ing his sleeves a suggestive twist that made his guests retreat to the furthest corner of the room.
 "Oh, Bob, please behave, don't act like that with your little girl dead, and before all these ladies.'
 The reply was blow that caused the poor woman to stagger back against the wall, covering her bleeding face with both hands.
 "I'll teach ye who's boss here," yelled the ruffian, knocking down the coffin and kicking it all to pieces, and then, snatch ing up one of the shivered boards, he brandished it like a tomahawk, and made rush towards the horror-stricken spec tators, who ran to the door, upsetting ta-

A JaRanssO Story of Its Influence on .
 MOtherleSs Girl.
 At Y. M.~C. A. hall Yeataso Okano, 8 Japanese, told the following story to 8 large audience:
 "Once upon a time there lived in little hamlet in Japan young couple. They had one child-a beautiful little girl whom both loved very dearly. It came to pass while the child was still a baby girl that the father was obliged to take long journey to the far distant city. It was too far for him to take his wife and child, so he left them at home and travelled alone.
 ''In that great city he saw many new things which, having lived ill the peace ful little hamlet up among the noun tains all his life, he had never seen be- fore. He desired to take home to his wife some of these new things which seemed to him SO wonderful. And the most wonderful gift he could take, it seemed to him, was a mirror. He wish ed to take home to his wife the pleasure and surprise he had experienced when he first looked into mirror. So he took one home to his wife.
 "When he arrived home he gave the present to his wife, and for the first time she looked into mirror What do you aee?' her husband asked She replied: I declare! see a very pretty woman. She wears her hair just as I do mine, and she smiles and moves her lips as if she were talking to me-. Her husband told her that the mirror was d present for her, and he hoped she would use it every day. But the wife thought it far too beautiful and rare and costly a gift to use every day, so she put it carefully away and never spoke about it to the little daughter, who grew more beautiful and more like her mother ev- cry day.
 By and by great misfortune fell upon that little household. The wife and mother fell sick, and it was soon evident that she must die. As she lay upon her deathbed she called her little daughter to her and told her that she was going to lose her mother forever She could point to no future life after death in which they should be reunited but in the love and simplicity of her u0arG Su0 u1U G1l0 D0S6 S00 COuiu. O1l6 told her little daughter about the won derful mirror. After I am dead, she said, take down that box and look into the mirror that it contains. There you will see my face. And want you to look into the mirror every day, that you may never forget your mother, and that you may grow like me more and more every day.
 ''So the mother died. The little girl did as she had been told, din the wonderful mirror she thought sAe saw her mothers face, young and baautiful mot as she had seen her, pale and i'll as she lay dying, but fair and fresh as she had looked before the fatal illness. And the little girl looked into the mir TOT every day and thought of her moth CT and her many lovely ways, and so it came about that she grew to be more and more like her mother as the years went by. ."-Rochester Post-Express.

Frederick VI11iers Describes Funerals A&EOr
 the Battle of Ping-Yang.
 Many of the sick and wounded who die are cremated. Their ashes are ool- lected, placed Ill small square boxes, 1n- tered for time in the little cemetery outside the foreign settlement at Che- mulpo, and after awhile exhumed and sent to Japan. The ceremony beheld in Chemulpo after the fight at Ping Yang was not impressive or solemn, but simply curious. Eighty bodies had been cremated in various parts of the country and forwarded to the treaty port in small boxes. These were placed in two large, black cases at the hospital, and preceded by a motley group of coolies, citizens and soldiers were carried to the burial plot.
 First came coolies with branches of foliage and white streameHs in their hands. Then a few soldiers, marching with reversed arms. Immediately pre- ceding the black cases was Shinto priest in yellow kimono and Q black gauge shako. Round his neck was purple cord, at the end of which hung a fan. In his right hand was flute, which from time to time as the procession wended it's way he footed on, producing an inharmonious sound which reminded me of my own attempts on that instru- mont when boy. The ooolies, the fol- lowers and the lockers on seemed to treat the whole thing more as a good

Growing Miniature Trees.

It is vastly interesting to experiment with all acorn and study its possibilities as an attractive window garden plant. One of tho most popular methods of starting it into growth is to suspend it by a piece of thread within half an inch of the surface of some water contained ill hyacinth glass. Itshould be permitted to remain suspended in this manner without being disturbed, and after a time it will burst and throw Q root into the water and shoot upward its straight and tap"ring stem, with beautiful little green leaves. A young oak tree growing in this manner in the window is very interesting object. Several oak trees and also chestnut tree have been noticed growing thus, but they are liable to die after few months, probably owing to the fact that the water is not changed often enough to afford them the neces- sary quantity of nourishment from the matter contained in it, but the interest displayed in the short lived little trees is we'll worth the trouble of experiment. ing. g.-Philadelphia Record.

A Style of Laundry Work Said to Prevail

 A peculiar appearance in the front windows of an aristocratic boarding house on one of the leading avenues caused discussion among passersby. In each pane was square of white mus lin, with embroidered edges, which was apparently glued to the pane.
 ''That's queer way of keeping out the light" observed one citizen to an- other.
 ''Must be some new method of deco ration," remarked another.
 Don't you know what that is?'' said ayoung woman to her husband. ''That's a window laundry"
 ''And what may that be?''
 "It's the way ladies who board wash their fine handkerchiefs. You see, il dries and irons them at the same time J

He Lives Near East Hartford-His Tribe
 Are Noted Horse Trainers.
 Ono of the most famous representa- tives of Romany Rye in this country is Prince William, as he is called, who, with his family, lives near East Hart ford. There are branches of the family at New Haven and Bridgeport. The East Hartford branch of the family is the main branch.
 The Williamses are all horse dealers. Attached to their residence are stables which, in winter, always contain stock of fine blooded draft horses.
 One of the interesting sights at the stables are the wagons that are used by Prince William and his family when they go off on their annual nomadio pleasure trips. These wagons cost from $1. .0o0 to $2, 500. Prince William s private wagon cost $2, 500 and is fitted up in regal style.
 In these trips around the country the whole family Joins. These trips are made in the summer, spare horses being taken along and sold or traded. This means 8 cavalcade of a dozen fancy wagons and about 100 horses.
 The start is made about the 1st of August, the entire family-men, wom- en and ohildren-being taken along. The party keeps together, travelling by easy stages, about 20 miles a day being considered good journey. When in a hurry, they can make 40 miles day.
 The place selected for the nights rest is usually a grove. There the wagons are drawn up in circle, fires are light ed and the evening meal prepared.
 After supper the whole party gather around Prince William's s tent or wagon, and the affairs of the family are dis cussed. A Watchman patrols the camp all night to watch the horses. New York Times

TAAwINa OUT FROZEN MEAT.

Al Dark ROom Treatment Before Leaving
 the Cold Storage House.
 According to the process invented by Messrs Nelson Bros. for thawing frozen meat in such a way as to put it on the market in a sound condition and avoid the many objections to which the sale of the meat while still in frozen state was open, the chamber of the ap- paratus is provided with double doors, one of which is extremely thick, so as to shut out, as far as possible, all exter nal atmosphere. The cha1nber has no windows, but is supplied with electric light.
 On entering one sees only some 30 quarters of beef hanging in rows on hooks over a slightly raised open plat form, with canvas curtain at the back. Under this platform, however, there is series of steam pipes, while behind the curtain there is a series of pipes filled with compressed ammonia, similar to those used in connection with the ordi- nary freezing processes. The steam pipes under the meat cause a current of warm air to ascend all around it, and as soon as this current reaches the top of this chamber it is drawn to the freezing pipes behind the curtain, by which all the moisture Is frozen out of it, on to the pipes themselves. It accumulates there in the form of snow some three-quarters of an inch in thickness.
 The snow has to be scraped off the pipes from time to time, and it is stated that the accumulation during five days, in the thawing of 80 quarters of beef, has resulted in no fewer than 168 pounds of water. During that same period the meat has lost only per cent in weight The purpose of the canvas curtain is to divide the ascending warm current from the descending cold current, and it is claimed that the effect of this inoessant passing of the air first over the steam pipes and then over the freezing pipes is eventually to free it from all mois- ture. When the meat is first hung, the temperature of the room is almost at freezing point, but on the fifth day the temperature of the chamber has been raised to that of the air outside. By this time the frost has all been thawed out of the meat, which is then in con- dition to be sent to market. et.-London Invention.

solOmOn's Temple.

''These stories about the beauty of the temple at Jerusalom must be taken with a grain of salt,' said Dr. Solomon Schindler. We must remember that at no time were there more than 50, 900 or 60, 900 people in Jerusalem, and that they lived in small, low roofed huts and had narrow streets, and that their sur roundings were anything but beautiful. The temple was not larger than Mechan- ics' hall nor more beautiful than the Park Street station, but to people who had such surroundings as the Jews at that time such buildings would be things of great beauty by comparison. Wemust judge all things by comparison. ''-Bos- ton Herald
