Funeral ObSequieS.
Communicated.

Communicated.
Almost every one has perhaps noticed
the changes that have taken place within
the past thirty years in the burial of the
dead. Then the undertaking business
was altogether in the hands of cabinet
makers or some other wood mechanic.
Now the undertaken is furnished to his
hand collins and caskets from the factory
or the jobber in funeral furnishing goods,
and his business is narrowed down to de
livering his goods at the house of monrn-
ing and arrange for display or parade
according to the desires of the friends of
the deceased, which has become common
in some communities. OF course this
change has brought into the business
host of persons engaged in other occupa-
tons, lured by the amount of Doodle sup
posed to be in the business of undertaking.
In the cities proprietors of hacks. and in
some instances saloon keepers, are said to
conduct funerals, probably in the neigh
borhood of the sluns. In some country
districts the aping of the vulgar display
and parade of the shoddy aristocracv of
of the cities is attempted by the under
taking but to the minds of those who ap-
preciate the solemnity of such occasions
when sorrow and anguish prevail in the
home unnecessary fuss and parade is
exceedingly distasteful, hence the custom
of private funerals after the religious SER
vices are over is becoming common
among those who sincerely mourn the
loss of departed relatives or friends. The
should be a gentleman, one
who is capable of appreciating the fact
that he is in the house of mourning and
not where light and trifing talk or de-
is admissible.

The hot wave of last week was
succeeded by a cold one ON Saturday

The fishing season has closed and
the sound of the fish hauler's horn
is heard no more on the streets.
The season on the Susquehanna is
said to be the poorest in many years.
Low prices of both fresh and
sailed fish and an extremely poor
catch have caused everybody in
terested to suffer more or less loss.
The total pack of herring will not
exceed $4,000 or 10000 barrels, at
least 10000 barrels short of last
years pack.
A short supply and low prices is
an anomaly and represents an
abnormal condition which can only
be accounted for by a monetary
famine. The time was when fish
on the Susquehanna were scarce
they were high. They are now
both scarce and low in price. This
refutes the cover production"
theory of goldbugism.

A Case in Point.

The fact that the Bethlehem COM
pany was able to secure the contract
for 1900 tons Of armor plate for
Russian ironclads, bidding against
the greatest European iron manu-
facturers, shows the combined folly
and robbery OF a high tariff TO keep
foreign wares out Of this market.
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter gives another instance.
"Twenty-ouuce cheviots" Of Amer
lean manufacture under free wool
"are now being sold here at a price
which is actually lower than the
like quality Of English make is sold
in the English markets" An expert
who has seen these goods and who
has just come from England stated
that he "could take them back to
Bradford and sell them at a profit"
The new tariff is recording its own
object lessons. 1t will educate the
people more yet before lS96.-NeV
York World.

Milk.

The business OF the country is
settling into its former groove. Our
gentlemanly driver has returned
from his vacation, the COWS in the
pasture switch flies instead Of bull
let's with their tails and the cream is
richer in consequence. We believe
we have satisfied every one of our
customers who have taken milk from
us and we are in a position to sup
ply great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks
have had an opportunity to see Just
what sort OF diet our stock feeds
upon, and no longer wonder at the
richness of the milk from our dairy.
Our facilities for delivery are the
best. With the exception OF a day
or two early in the late unpleasant
ness our drivers have always been
on time at our customers residences.
We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with us
and to solicit continuance OF their
patronage. We will be pleased to
fill all orders telephoned to us and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.
