e CURIOUS FUNERAL Niles,
4 Greek Archbishop Carried to the Toni
In h.t

q creek Archbishop Carried to the Tomb
In q Chair.
The death of the Greek archbishop of
Corfu, which took place few DAYS back,
afforded an opportunity of witnessing
the curious funeral rites accorded by
the Greek church to SO exalted an &C.
clesiastic.
The archbishop was an old man, and
his death was not unexpected, saws the
New York Journal. For more than q
month the cathedral had been pre-
pared for his Sitting in state" The
breath was hardly out of his body
when the corpse was dressed in episco-
pal robes, and, without being embalmed,
taken to the cathedral and placed in q
golden armchair, surrounded with
lighted tapers, with the inter in one
hand and the Gospel in the other. The
populace thronged to the church to
view the body and to kiss the arch
bishops hand. The priest desired to
keep the body there for three days, but
the authorities had to interfere for the
benefit of the public health. The
funeral was accordingly arranged for
the second day. The church bells
tolled continuously, the theater and
shops were closed, flags were hung at
half mast and the street lamps lighted
and draped with Grape. The whole Of
the inhabitants, however, treated the
occasion as a fete day, and
appeared 10 their gayest clothes. The
funeral procession started from the
cathedral at half-past eight in the
morning. Three standard bearers with
church standards flying preceded it
followed by about a dozen church
beadles holding lighted gilded lanterns
Next came three town bands playing 4
funeral march; then boys carrying ar
tificial wreaths. Thirty-fve priests fol
the army holding a cushion with tn,
Greek cross of the Saviour and the Rus
sian grand crosses Of St. Anne. Thel
came the corpse tied to the armchair
still holding the inter and gospel
carried by priests in gorgeous vest
ments, with the chief Greek OF
fcials taking the place of pall-beal
ers on each side. Directly behind TO
lowed the Roman Catholic archbishop
and the representatives of foreign pow
ers. The men of the garrison, inclut
ing the mounted battery and the cre'
of Greek ironclad, brought up tn
rear. On arrival at the cemetery tn
body was taken into the church, an
from there to the grave, which was lii
a small room. A stone chair had bee
> built in the middle. ON which IL
corpse was seated, and hanging G
lamp was arranged from the arc
above. When the body was lowert
. and some earth thrown in, salute
twenty-one guns was fred from Il
), fort, as well as three volleys of mu
kerry over the grave. The bands thu

TWO LOVERS or MUSIC.
A Creole hoy and His Wonderful ana AZ
compfished Mocking BIRD.

A Creole boy and Ills Wonderful ana Ae-
conpfished Mooking bird.
Maxine Caspari is a handsome young
Creole who drives delivery wagon for
a grocer in New Orleans. He has be-
come a noted local figure because OF his
love for music. and because he Is the
owner Of a wonderful hooking bird.
Maxine, says our informant, is mu-
stefan considerably above the ordinary,
and in the carly mornings the quiet
street is gay with the merry sound OF
his sweet voice or the music Of his
French harp, which he always carries
about with him. 1t is charming to see
what pleasure he gives as he drives
down the street, smiling and bowling to
right and left as he goes, like hero in
a triumphal procession. 1t gladdcns the
heart of every woman on the street to
have Maxine deliver n package at her
door and receive one of his scintillating
smiles and bow like court gentle
mans.
Entirely in harmony with Maxime's
affablc nature is the little pet and com
| panion which accompanies him always
in his daily rounds. This is no more
nor less than fine hooking bird
named Beaurcgnrd, which is beyond
doubt a perfectly exquisite musician
Maxine has trained him to whistle thu
most difficult airs with u grace and fin
ish that no instrument can equal, ant
the little fellow seems to take infinite
delight in exhibiting his accomplish
ment. He and Maxine whistles in con
cert, the bird usually carrying the air
his master adding fine, clear second
which is cxquisitcly harmonious.
Beauregard has a cage in one corne
Of the cart under the roof, but he usu
ally sits on Maxime's shoulder or occr
pies q perch above his masters head.
When Maxine is very busy and hash
time to dismount and linger at tn
door for a pleasant word, a smile or
bow, Beauregard gives three roun
sharp whistles that serve to bring
servant girl out to the gate for tn
package.
Maxine has frequently refused lare
sums Of money for his fnc bird. A mi
. scum company offered two hundred m
fifty dollars for him.
! "But no." Maxine always say
I "gol' can nod buy mey Beauregar'. I
u nod for sale; he never will be. He

FOR LONDON CHILDREN.

Rskks Are Provided with Out-of-Dose
Gymnasiums.
The county council of London has been
kind to the children. Thousands OF poor
little creatures from slums and over
crowded dwellings are better in health
for its considerable action. The parks
are the great Fairgrounds OF the Lon
don child, its only change from the
crowded home and the dirty street.
Here it has its only taste of rural
life-the pleasures Of trees and flowers
and birds. The parks, however, are
for the whole people, and unless some
special means are taken to attend to
the wants Of the children they are like
ly to be elbowed out by others. So the
parks committee established children's
9ymnasiums in Victoria, Battersea,
Finsbury and Brockweu parks and
made arrangements at other parks
where only one gymnasium exists that
It shall be set apart exclusively foz
children at certain hours. Special at
tention is paid to physical exercises FOL
i girls, and in every case q woman At
tendant is in charge OF the childreni
gymnasium. The most notable limo
vation, however, has been the introduc
ton of sand pits in Victoria park
which are great source Of Amusement

Juliua Cesar.

Julius Caesar had arrived in Rome.
And he had not come there for his
health.
Neither did those in power think he hao
come there for theirs.
They were on to the curves of Julius.
A delegation, composed of city council
men ard prominent citizens, with the
mayor chairman, had come out to the
first station On the Appian way to meet
him.
He had refused to treat them or treat
with them.
This was sad blow to the delegation
but Caesar wasn't after any particular del.
egation.
What he wanted was the entire conven-
ton.
Before the caucus in the city Caesar
spoke.
Sir said the chairman of the caucus,
"why did you cross the rubicon?''
This was the moment of Caesars tri
umph.
Rising to his full height and letting his
voice go laundering forth until Rome
rocked on her seven hills, he replied:
Friends and fellow spqrs, in response
to your inquiry 1 would say that I crossed
the rubicon because wanted to get on the
other side.''
After which he had a cinch and was
unanimously nominated.
Julius Cesar was no slouoh.-Truth.

"Talking of plumbers" said congress

OF Governor Biggs of California and his
pleuropneumonia fad? Well it was in the
Fifty-first congress. Biggs represented a
district in California, and his one hobby
was pleuropneumonia. The symptoms
were most violent in the governor al
times, but somehow he could never get o
chance to be heard on it, Reed persistent.

full of his subject that one day he told the
speaker on the floor of the house:

month. If am not allowed to speak or
1t today, don't know If the chance wiz

MAN was mad. He went west the next
day and had not yet cooled of when he 70
turned.
"Reed happened to put Judge Payson IL

asked Cluny, his colleague, to bring him

overwhelming inspiration of bumer, set
glass of gin on Biggs' desk. Biggs drank
the gin and grew more garrulous still OF
his favorite subject, while Cluny and his
circle of sworn confldants sat off ano

Bicycle Not Cause For Divorce.

The bicycle as a cause of divorce is some
thing new. A male petitioner in recent
New Zealand divorce case had the audacity
to urge it. He alleged that his wife was
nearly always away from home wheeling
about in rational dress and neglecting her
domestic duties, and he contended that
this amounted to "habitual deSerticn"
within the meaning of the act. The
judge, however, was unable to agree with
him in this latter contention, and New
Zealand married ladies with fondness for
the wheel now breathe more freely.
