FRENCH UNDERTAKES.

Every country, and every age has had
it's own fashion of dispOsing of it's
dead; from the Patagonian who makes
lions meat of his spouse, back to the
ancient Roman with his ancestral urns.
Taken all in all, there is no more prof
liable way of paying the last sad rites
to the dead, than that of the Parisians.
1t is an ingenious system, whereby the
poor are buried at the expense of the
pomp, pride, and vanity of the rich
1t is one of the most profitable and
best managed industries-I may say
monopolies, in existence; for a COM
pany of capitalists have the sole con-
troll of transporting the dead through
the streets of Paris in funeral style. 1t
does some six million dollars worth of
business year, with the enormous
profit of nearly three millions, after
gratuitously burying some three out of
five of the dead as INDECENT subjects.
To the traveller, view of this estab-
lishment is one of the most interesting
sights of the city. All the material for
the different classes of funerals are
manufactured by this company; EN-.

Viewed from the standpoint OF hu-

good they all belong to class to whom,
without in the least infringing upon
the strict discipline and rigid rules and
regulations which surround them, 1T is
entirely practicable to 'lend hand"

permanent good to some OF them and
to the community to which most OF
them are some day to return.
Opinions may differ, as doubtless
they will. among those not personally
conversant with the facts, as to the
profit of this course of reading among

the results already apparent from the
readings. as they have come to the
knowledge of few, give promise OF
profit, and the influence for good of
such Sabbath exercise as we have en-
deavored to describe, will not be queS-
toned by any one who participated in
it. 1t was profitable, exceptionally soto

Under.Writers Indicted.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. s.
The Kentucky and Tennessee
Board of Underwriters has been
indicted for maintaining trust
Just before the adjournment OF
the grand jury this question came
before it, and they returned true
bill in the matter. None OF the
members can escape arrest. The
warrants are now being drawn,
and in a few days all hands will
be arrested and bound over to
court for trial. The men who are
charged with the law breaking do
not seem to be much worried, how
ever, about the turn affairs have
taken.
The underwriters claim that
they are far from wishing to do
the people harm through their
combination, but say that it makes
things easier for their insurers.
The facts of the case do not near
out this statement to any great
extent.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
Spreading Diphtherta Alarmingly il
Indianapolis.

Indianapolis.
CHICAGO, H., Oct. ga special
from Indianapolis says the alarm
ing spread Of diphtheria in that city
has called the attention OF the In
dianapolis health department to
the serious state OF affairs arising
from the practices Of Christian
scientists. In some cases Santa
rian Wynn has been refused adj
mittance to homes where children
are dying, and no effort was being
made to save them except by faith
doctors, who knott at the bedside
and prayed until life had departed
In the northwestern part of the
city the sanitary officers heard OF
several fatal cases that had been
reported.
1t is charged by the health off,
Gals that Christian scientists have
been meeting in body at the he'd
side Of diphtheria patients, going
from one house to another and
rying disease into places where
inmates had been exposed. When
taken before the coroner, some OF
the witnesses refused to be sworn,
Many of the people who are giving
the health department trouble in
this manner are well-to-do resi-
dents, and fairly well educated. 1t
is said that wholesale arrests will
be made this week.

A Very Tame Bull Fight.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct. s.
What was advertised here as bull
fight came off at the park. Humane
officer Hutchins was on hand to
stop the fight in case any cruelty
to animals was shown, but he had
no occasion to interfere. Six bulls
were exhibited and seemed to en-
joy the sport as much as the
matadors. The only weapon used
was a flag, and the affair was In
reality a game Of hide and seek,
the bulls being the aggressors.
Several Of the matadors were
caught and rolled on the ground
and one was assisted to the top OF
the fence enclosing the arena In q
most undignified manner, but no
serious accident occurred.

there is an island near Rockport

was the traditional kite, which was the
property of Mr.. Gilderoy. 1t is not
the possibility even of Mr.. Clevelsnd's 8

that there are supposedly intelligent

are 80 tanstical in their worship of the

that they favor his election in the face

Why She WeptP

A an in Kansas city worked for
so cents a day, but was unable to
feed his too numerous family of
children and self and wife
on the 2 cents each per day
which was left after the rent was
paid. When he heard his little ones
crying for food and saw his wife and
elder children growing pale and weak
in patient silence, he became desperate
and stole a rich mans cow, but did it
so bunglingly, from want OF practice,
probably, that he was at once arrested
and sent to Jail. The papers nsively
remark that his pale, poorly.clsd wife
Wept as If her heart would break when
her husband told why he had broken
the law and received his sentence.
Probably she wept from remorse at
having brought too many children
into the world, but why should she re-
gret having added to the population,
when the landlords of Kansas City are
now offering large rewards for plans to
increase the population from q quarter
million to half a millionP 1t would
seem to an impartial observer that
when men are so plenty and land so
"scarce" (P) as to reduce wages below
the life line there was enough popula-
tion in Kansas City to utilize all its re-
sources and to satisfy even q land
lords wolfsh greed. Possibly the
woman Wept because she loved her
husband and children, and regretted
Seing them disgraced and her little ones
deprived of the muni6cent income of
cents each per. day for food and
three for the landlord, for this meant
eviction homeleSsness, and hunger,
for her helpless children. Perhaps
she Wept because the tariff was not
high enough to protect her against
competition with the pauper labor of
Europe and keep the country from
being flooded with cheap goods. Or it
may have been for fear of her hus-
bnad's wages being reduced to a silver
basis; or that the Populists might dis
grace the state; or the single-tsxers
confscate some ones vacant lots, OF
because Kansas City has only a quar-
ter million people. Or she may have
wept because she was a woman, for it
doesn't take much to make some
women cry. Western Economist,
June l, 1895.
