Buried standing.

Clement Spelman, of Narburg, re-
corder Of Nottingham, who died In
1879, is immured upright, inclosed in
pillar in Narburgh church. so that the
Inscription is directly against his face.
This must surely be the one solitary in
stance, of burial in a pillar, although
there are many other instances of bur-
ial In an upright position.
Thomas Cook, who was Governor Of
the Bank of England from 1877 to 1880,
and who had formerly been a merchant
residing In, Constantinople, died at
Stake Newmgton the 10Th Of August.
1852, and by his directions his body was
carried to Morden College, Blackheath,
Of which he was q trustee; It was taken
out of the coffin and buried In winding
sheet upright In the ground, according
to the Eastern custom.
Ben Jonson was buried at Westmin-
ster in an upright position. Possibly
this may have been on account of the
large fee demanded for full-sized
grave. 1t was for a long time supposed
that the story was invented to account
for the smallness of the grave-stone;
but on the grave being opened some
years since the dramatist's remains
were discovered In the attitude indi-
Gated by tradition.

Many profound and erudite essays
and theologians on the topic, Does
Death End All?' In the case Of William
Fredericks, who was hanged at San
Quentin, CAL, death evidently did not
end all. The courts and the lawyers
are not yet through with Mr.. Freder-
icks, although he paid the penalty of the
law for the crime of murder. The Su-
preme Court of California Is about to
make ruling in the case Of Mr.. Fred
ericks and he may get rehearing. The
fact that he has been duly hanged by
the sheriff is an inconsequential mat
ter with the court. The Supreme Court
of a great State doesn't mind a small
matter like that. The business Of the
court Is to adjudicate the cases brought
before 1t In it's own good time, and
why should an august body Of learned
jurists concern itself about the demise
of the interested party in the case?
Great bodies move slowly and there Is
nothing so unseemly In the wearers of
the ermine as the vulgar haste that
characterizes men of affairs. 1t seems
that while Fredericks was awaiting
execution at San Quentin an appeal
from the order resentencing the pris-
oner was taken to the Supreme Court.
The warden, however, on the advice Of
the Attorney General, carried out the
sentence and executed Fredericks. But
the appeal will be heard, and IL the
Supreme Court finds that Fredericks
was not legally sentenced at the time
the present issue was raised the con-
demned man will have a legal right to
existence and to a further hearing in
court. This will be gratifying news to
Mr.. Fredericks. 1t will fill his soul
with exultation as he contemplates with
rapturous ecstacy the prospect of re-
turn to the orange groves Of his native
heath. In other States, when man Is
hanged he Is choked off forever. There
is no hearing for him except In the ce-
lestial tribunal. But in California they
do things differently. The opportunity
to be heard even after the hangman
has done his ghastly work is not de-
MED In the glorious climate of the
Golden State.

In the very early periods Of Jewish
history, women seem to have been as
lond of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times. AS far back as
seven centuries before the Christian
era there were very gayly dressed
women in Jerusalem. The prophet
Ezekiel tells of them. They had gar
ments Of silk adorned with broidered
work; their bodies were swathed In
fine linen; they had shoes of badger
skin. They wore ornaments of gold
and silver, rings in the ears, bracelets
on the wrists, chain around the neck,
a jewel over the brow, and crown
upon the head. When the daughters
Of Jerusalem were appareled and be-
Jeweled in the way described by Eze-
kiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive
as those of the grand danes who now
shine in society. The wearing Of ''di-
vers colors," however does not seem
to have been mark Of honor.

Every week the papers of Chicago
chronicle the runaway Of one or more
young couples to the Gretna Green Of
Milwaukee. There, without the for
mality of license and with the scanti-
est Of ceremony, they are married, re-
turning at leisure to the bread-and-b
ter seriousness Of life. Not all Of these
marriages are forced by the unwilling
ness of parents; in many cases the es-
capade has proved only pleasant sur
prise to all parties concerned. But
still they go. There Is serious side
to this question which might well be
considered. However chaperOned and
however circumspect young people may
be In these hasty weddings, 1t is doubt
proach this most sacred obligation in
life with the spirit which the occasion
demands. For the old-fashioned lovers
who fee from an angry father the world
will always have sympathy, in that
they are unwillingly robbed Of the priv
ilege Of wedding in the quiet dignity
which so well becomes the bridal party
ut the altar. Marriage has too many
serious problems to be approached in
the fiippant haste of runaway match.
No young man, unless he Is forced by
stress Of circumstances, can afford to
subject the woman lie loves to such a
plight. 1t is as undignified as it Is un-
seemly. 1t Is one of the many influ-
ences which seem to-day to be lessen
ing in the minds of the people the sa-
credness Of the marriage bond.

Washington Post: With all Difference
to the opinions Of those who take a
contrary view, we respectfully adhere
to the opinion heretofore expressed in
these columns that the whipping post
Is the best-nay, the only-punishment
for certain malefactions. We should
like to know that every brutal ruffian
who beats a woman or maltreats a
child or tortures a dumb brute would
suffer for his infamy IN kind. AS we
see the matter, it only adds to our In
dignation when we hear of these re-
voting savageries to know that the
monster who commits them will be con-
signed to a prison, which in his philoso-
ply means luxury, and that in due time
he will be set free, improved in health
and strength, and ready for new and
still more hideous offenses against hui
manity

Some time ago, when a wild-eyed
scientist found out that ordinary drink
Ing water Is full Of wriggling, nlpping,
clawing microbes, we raised no word
of objection. If our drinking water is
taken away there are other substi-
tutes; we are content. When 1t was
announced that "the flavor of butter
Is due to the presence OF millions OF
microbes" we gave up butter; oleo-
margarine can be used on pinch.
When the scientists went further and
declared that the very air we breathe
is loaded down with whole myriads of
microbes, big and little, gentle and
savage, healthful and harmful, We
drew the line there; we have grown
accustomed to breathing and want q
little air occasionally. or course, II It
is absolutely necessary, we are willing
to do all our respiration through q
sterilizing sponge. But when DR.. Reil-
ly says we must spray the girls rose
bud lips with carbolized water before
we may kiss her we are ready to throw
science to the winds and take our
chances If the fates decree 1t, we are
willing to meet death thus, and are
ready to face the issue and the girl.
Who's afraid?

thin blue woolen suitlng, worn with a
plain godet skirt of the same stuff.
The waist has fitted lining over which
the suiting is draped after 1t has been
embroidered with wide spreading de-

of the suiting with q ribbon bow In
back.
AS to the colors that are coming In,
brilliantly glaring shades In combina-
tion are to be discarded, and contin-
ued vogue for the delicate combinations

dress, evening and reception, and, in
deed, all but street. rough-and-ready

yellow of rich lace will be one Of the
newer effects. Gray In dove, pearl

No one can have read carefully the
story of the criminal Holmes without
noting how easily and quickly his va
rious girl victims disappeared from
view. 1t is evident that were 1t not for
the circumstances which have COM

swindler's entire career the disappear

have been noticed. Apparently they
had no one to watch very closely wheth-
er they dropped out of the human fam
lily or not. Their nearest associates
were not near enough to do more than
speculate upon their absence with mild
curiosity. The facts already elected
are enough to justify inquiring whether
the number of friendless girls who are
somehow mysteriously blotted out of
existence Is not larger than Is supposed.
Holmes case is, of course, exceptional.
But making due allowance for the Iarg-
er number Of his crimes, It is still worth
while inquiring whether the unheeded
removal of young girls is any such
part Of the sum total of c-ime as
Holmes case would seem to indicate
What becomes of the friendless girl In

this a phase OF crime which has been
growing to wholly unknown proper

Some kinds Of weeds will only grow

common purslane known as chickweed
or pigweed, and usually found In gar
dens. 1t makes an excellent feed for
hogs when confined In pens, and they
eat 1t greedily. These weeds contain
a large proportion Of nitrogenous mat
ter and rot rapidly when entirely COW
cred by soil. But their roots catch 80

Frequent stirring Of surface soil. with
thorough subsolling the previous fall to
form storage basin for water In dry
soils, will enable many crops to 60
through serious drouth with COMPARE
lively little damage. This, with the
possibilities OF windmill power for
pumping water by irrigation, and the
knowledge that a little water can be
made to irrigate a large area, says the
Agriculturist, Is robbing the annual
drouth OF much OF It's terrors. New
forage crops are being adapted to our
soils that will furnish feed during the
dryest times. 1t Is only recently that
we printed an account of twenty-seven
new forage crops at the Massachusetts,
experiment station, many of which are
wholly new to most farmers, but so pro-
ductive as to be well worthy Of wide
spread trial. The farmer cannot con-

cal conditions Of soil may be so altered

1t is one of the excellent Yankee no
lions Of New England, the collection of
vital statistics in a thorough and COM
prehensive manner. Those for 1892
have just been printed and contain
some interesting information. 1t is a
curious fact that just about one-half
of the people of that section live In
cities and towns having over 10000
population. In this urban group the
marriage rate per annum is twenty-one
in the thousand, the birth rate twenty,
and the death rate nineteen. While the
death rate in the cities Is higher than
in the country, yet a greater marriage
and birth rate tends to. bring about
an increase in population greater than
In the country districts. 1t Is also
found from the mortality lists that the
city people are much more likely to die
from measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria,
typhoid fever, cholera infantum, con-
sumption and bronchitis than those In

mixed tweed coat. over skirt in the
unexaggerated model Of whatever
style happens to have vogue, worn with
linen collar and cuffs, will hold Its own
as correct just as long as men resist
the temptation to get themselves into
kneo breeches and satin coats. You
see, the suggested rig for women lis
founded on the mems details Of CO.'S
tune, and so Is safe, because, though
the poor men are bothered by changes
of fashion as women are, still they do
stick to their linen and cloth.
Jaunty little coats, too, Of the square
cut are already appearing In the very
early cloth gowns. A stunning affair
in white broadcloth has widely turned
back revers opening over dainty
brocade waistcoat that Is almost OBJ
scured, by pillows Of chiffon and lace.
The skirt with this Is distinctly mar
rover than the present fashions de-
mand, and the sleeves show an equal
decrease. 1t seems a wild extravaganza
to go into new model in white broad
cloth so near the end of the present
season, but the wearer whispered that
she means to have the gown dyed
black. Still another cut Of jacket that
promises to find favor Is put, beside
the initial at the head of the column.
1t is provided with a ripple basque,
velvet, the turned back fronts being
faced with velvet to match. Between
the two revers button Is placed on

should be provided on humane grounds,
but there is question Of dollars and
cents in 1t as well. Discomfort Of any
kind lessons productiveness and
growth. A rough shed of boards, or
even q rough framework covered with
green boughs, will answer the purpose
very well, but where lumber Is expen-
slve and green boughs are not at hand,
cheap cotton cloth can be used very
effectively and economically. Such
cloth can be bought for five cents or
less a yard, and can be stretched over
framework set up against the pasture

Preserving VS.. Canning Fruit.

Preserving VS.. Canning Fruit.
The plan Of canning fruit depending
on the exclusion Of air for it's preserva-
ton was a great Improvement in most
cases over the old plan Of preserving 1t
by putting 1t up with equal quantities
Of sugar. At the time 1t was adopted
the canning process was also much less
costly. Sugar then was high priced,
and the saving Of expense was a most
important consideration. But sugar Is
much cheaper now, and doing up some
part Of the fruit after the old way Is
generally advisable. This Is especially
true Of the very acid fruits, which re-
quire a good deal Of sweetening after
they are taken out Of the can before be-
Ing eaten. The improvement in put
ting up with equal weights Of sugar
is almost as great with the sweeter
kinds Of fruit These, when merely
canned, are very insipid, and need a
great deal Of sugar to give the fruit q
decided flavor. AS change from can
ned fruit almost everybody will well
come some that has been put up after
the old formula with equal weight Of
white sugar made with its own juices
into a thick syrup.

Renovating Old Pastures.

There are many old pastures which
can be much improved by narrowing
with a forty-tooth drag that will ad-
NIT the air to the places covered by
moss, says the American Cultivator,
and enable the grass to grow more Wig
orously. OF course, some Of the roots
Of the grass will be destroyed; but the
stirring OF the soil will make more
grow in their place. If there Is much
moss on the surface, 1t will require un-
derdraining to remove surplus water
to make a permanent improvement

At Milking Time.

Cows, to make the most Of their OPP
portunlties, need to be MIXED in quiet

some sort of soiling crop must be fed to
obtain the best results, which means
9rolonging the milk flow, and nowhere
can this be so well done, and eacn cow
receive her due proportion, as in the
stable. 1t has been a matter Of observa-
ton with us, says the Practical Farmer,
that a COW soon comes to have a home
place in the stable, and to be tied there
twice day and have some provender,
grain or forage, on her arrival, gives
her a matter to look forward to and
even dong for, and In the afternoon the
COWS have home longing and start for
"the bars" and getting up the cows
with boy, horse and dog Is an obsolete
custom1on such farm. In this summer
care Of the cows their comfort should
be looked after in the lot, seeing that
there Isl plenty Of good water and shade
Of some kind.
