ORANGE MOURNING CUSTOMS
As a People We Are Tearing Away
from Barbarfe Customs.


Az a People We Are Tearing Away
from Barbarie Customs.
zone of the surest indications that,
as a people. we are tearing away from
barbaric customs writes Edward w.
Box in the Ladies' Home Journal, "is
found in the changes which, slowly but
surely, have come over u mourning
customs and funeral emblems. The
time is not so far back when the an
nouncement In a funeral notice that
friends will please omit flowers was
an unheard-of thing. When this first
appeared people wondered at 1t.
Now one meets the request In m
GUS cases, and the effect has been good.
Gates Atar' and similar vulgar floral
monstrosities are being discarded and
the modest laurel wreath or cross, or
sheaf of wheat have In good taste sup
planted them. Flowers for the dead
are not to be decried so long as they
have a meaning or carry a message OF
tender sympathy to the living, or atteat
a love. reverence or respect for the
dead. But when offered m~issionless, In
profusion, jammed OF crammed into
every imaginable MISUNDERSTANDING
design or device, the custom Tor habio
of thus remembering the dead becomes
offensive and is best honored in the
breach" Mr.. Box also expresses hearty
satisfaction that the day of big funeral
corteges is passing, and that the heavy
black Grape at the door of the home
which death has entered has been sup
planted by simple unobtrusive wreaths
of green or blossoms. With equal graft
hcation he notes that the sight of young
children, fairly sitting beneath the
heavy folds of mourning, is becoming
more and more rare. In this connec-
ton he writes: 81 never thoroughly
understood until recently the depth OF
affection and the sure, sane judgment
which prompted that member of my
family, who, when he was dying, asked
that his wife and children should re-
frain from wearing anything which
savored Of mourning at his passing.
1t was difficult to do; the heart seemed
to prompt otherwise. But 1t was done,
and the wisdom of my fathers dying
wish has often come home to his sur
vivors when they have seen the custom
followed which has made relatives
and friends sombre just to look at each
other"

Our Electoral College.

Ex-President Harrison, In writing q.
'eThe Presidential Office" in the La
dies Home Journal, presents an inter-
esting bit of information regarding our
method of choosing a Chief Magistrate.
''The origin of the Electoral College,"
he saws, "has been the subject Of much
speculatton. The only American prece-
dent is found in the first Constitution of
Maryland, where provision was made
for the choice of State Senators by cleo
tors chosen by popular vote in specified
districts. In the Massachusetts con-
yentIon Mr.. Bowdoln said: This meth
cd of choosing the President was prob
ably taken from the manner of choos-
ing Senators under the Constitution of
MARYLAND An attempt has been made
to find the suggestion OF the Electoral
College, as we have come to call 1t, by
some in the method then In use of
choosing the German Emperor, and by
others in the method of choosing a
Pope. by the College Of Cardinals. Sir
Henry Maine thinks that the members
of the convention were to a considers
BILE extent guided by the example of the
Holy Roman Emplre.' And as Mary
land, where the Electoral College was
first used, was a Catholic colony, the
suggestion seems plausible. But there
was this difference: our electors are not
a permanent body, but fresh men chos-
en- every four years."
