came By way Of Omaha, leaving there
at night in an ordinary coach. Some
time during the early morning hours,

and tie car went over . bank and
brought up in q creek about fifty feet
below the track. smashing things gen.
orally, but not doing much to the
kansans except waking and shaking
them up. When the car stopped at

CHOOSING THEIR cAsKeTs.

People Often Express Their Preferences In
the Natter Of style.
Inever actually knew anybody who
kept his coffin in his house, said an un-
dcrtaker. but I have read of such
things, and l have NO doubt they are
true, just as l believe the stories Of
some women keeping in the bottom OF
bureau drawers their own grave clothes
which they made themselves. But
men sometimes choose, if not the par
ticular casket in which they want to
be buried, the style Of coffin that they
prefer, and l knew of one man who
drew the plans for the casket in which
he was buried. He had his own ideas
of what was most suitable, and we
made a casket in accordance with the
drawings which he furnished. and then
boxed it up and stored it for him. He
was a man advanced in years 1t is in
teresting to note that the casket SO
planned had square ends and perfectly
straight sides and ends; in fact, in
shape it was precisely the same as
the present most advanced style OF
modern burial casket, which was not
introduced until some years afterward.
1t is not at all unusual for men to
look at caskets, express admiration of
some Of them and say they would like
to he buried in such or such a style.
These men might be simply friends
who had come to see me, or they might
be here on business, but not with re-
gard to funeral. Some of the modern
burial caskets are very costly and
beautiful, and as unlike the old-fash-
ioned coffin as could be imagined. 1t
is no wonder that men should admire
them, but it doesn't follow at all that
they expect soon to need one.
A few months ago there came in .
man and his wife, people OF
perhaps fifty years, and should
say well to do, who wanted to look at
the caskets, or rather he did. They
came to a very beautiful casket of ma
hogany, one of modern style with
square ends and straight sides and
ends. and carved . little, but not over
elaborately. Evidently he had heard
of such a casket before or had seen
one, and SO was familiar with it, and
he admired it greatly.
''There," he said to his wife, calling
her by name, THAT is the kind of caslk.
ct that / would like to be buried in;"
and it was clear that il seemed to him
very beautiful, as it certainly was.
But, bless MS! he is like everybody else
almost; have no doubt he expects to
live . hundred years. i saw him at the
theater the other night with his wife.
They had dined comfortably. and they
were in the fullest enjoyment of life;
and fancy that it will be many years
before either. of them comes to the end
Of life; but ] venturs to say that II he
dies first his wife will faithfully zee
that he is buried in mahogany caslxet
such as he admired.-N. Y. Sun.

It was laundering and lightning,
and the valley of the Zeta far below
was hid in. mist rs we arrived at the
lower nonastery-fo- there are two.
one on rocky plateau on the noun
tain side. the other in a cavern in the
cliff half an hour higher up. A ring
ut the bell was quickly answered, and
we were ushered into a plainly-fur-
nishcd cell by u youth without shoes
or stockings, who kissed my hand. and
after a profound bow went in search of
the priest. 1t was extraordinary to
notice the respect which the holy
father evoked when he entered the
room. Our guide went down on his
knees and did obeisancc before him,
and the Juvenile attendant proceeded
to go through series of extraordinary
antics and grimaces. He bowed and
scraped and crossed himself and saluted
in military fashion. running about the
room all the while in quest Of refresh
ment for the guests.
A glass of excellent Montenegrin
brandy and cup of coffee were speed
lily offered and thankfully accepted,
and then the priest began to ask us
who we were and whence we came.
AS soon as the thunderstorm was over
we started for the upper monastery,
which we could just see protruding
from the mouth of a cavern in the
rock, several hundred feet above
us. Arrived at the entrance
of this remote hermitage, we
knocked at the gate. and \ venerable
man with flowing locks of snow-white
hair, the very picture of the typical
man Of God in the old stories, came
down the steps to greet us after the
manner of the carly Christians. He
kissed US on both cheeks, to our great
embarrassment, and then led MS by the
hand up winding stair and along .
stone balcony into his lonely cell. Re-
frcshments were at once produced. and
the hermit, taking up two eggs. dyed
crimson like the pace-eggs which we
still sec in some parts of England at
Easter. gave me one of them and re-
quested me to hold it in my hand with
the end upward.
The priest then took another egg
himself, and, having made the sign Of
the cross on his forehead and MUIR
INJURED prayer in Serb, he struck the
end of my egg with the end OF his.
Having thus cracked one end, he made
me turn the other end OF my egg up
ward and repeated the same operation
with the other extremity Of his own,
after which he pealcd my egg for mo
and invited me to eat it. This done,
he led me by the hand into beautiful
