PARTICULAR ABOUT HIS FUNERAL.

A Topeka Mans Precautions Against Nor
tuary Chestnuts.
A Topeka man of a practical turn Of
mind has made a WILL regulating his
own funeral. A friend who is a parson
is to come from a distance and say a
prayer. Another friend, who is not a
parson, not even a church member, is
to make a short talk. Another friend,
who is a woman and a sweet singer, is
to request three musical friends-an-
other woman aud two men-to join her
in singing appropriate hymns, while
another friend. a young fellow who
learned the keyboard while ION the
road for q music house, is to preside
at the organ.
The undertaken is not to wear a plug
hat, or a big diamond stud, or a dressy
Prince Albert coat, or in any manner to
appear as if he had snatched a moment
from a banquet to bury the dead. He is
to be modest and humble, giving the
corpse a chance for public attention-its
last chance. The pallbearers are not to
be labeled. They will be distinguish
able from the corpse by the fact that
they will be alive, and their duties will
be understood without wearing a print
led sign. They must be good fellows,
too, bright fellows, and they are re-
quested to beguile the way to the grave
with cheerful anecdotes of their dead
friend.
None Of them may wear gloves-un-
dertakers' gloves are so starchy and
stuffy-and a man whose hands sweat
is barred 1t furnishes the handles Of
the coffin. Grips and signs, swords,
feathers and bands are prohibited. The
parson who shall say the first prayer
shall say the last, and ''sprigs of myr-
tle'' or acacia are forbidden. The
pallbearers are to line up and witness
the final closing Of the grave. All the
funeral arrangements are to be in charge
Of another friend, q woman, who shall
comfort the family and see that chumps
keep away from the house that brown
les be not permitted to "sit up with the
corpse" She shall receive f1owers-il
any-friends may bring in, return thank
for them in writing and request thu
newspapers not to call them "foral OF
ferings." She shall also detach card
from these pretty membranes ant
preserve them for the family. The cofil
