ETIQUETTE OF FUNERALS.
New Workers Who Arc Careful 20 At

New Workers Who Are Careful 60 At
tend obseuuies OF old Friends.
Some men are as conscientious and
as scrupulously exact In paying their
respects to the dead" as they are in any
other matter Of etiquette. Among their
number are mem conspicuous Ia public
life. Their frequent presence at fu-
nerals is indicative of strong sense Of
duty as well as OF loyal friendship for
those to whose death they pay the
tribute. For q busy man of affairs TO
take an hour or two out OF the middle
of the day to attend a church funeral
Is often more of n asacrifice than n casual
observer might think. Yet there are a
score or more of well-lsnown and in
huential New Workers who invariably
make it a point to attend the funeral
of an old friend. no matter how incon-
venient it may be.
John ID. Crimmins is mostpunctilious
in this respect, as also is Gen. Stewart
l.. Woodford, now United States min
lister to Spain. They believe that loy-
atty to a friend entails the duty OF be-
ing present at that friends funeral. ]
Edward Simmons, president OF the
Fourth national bank; John II. Starin
and ID. 0. Mills are very busy men who
usually find time to attend the funerals
of their old friends or business asso-
ciates.
Within the past few months several
old and respected residents of this CITY
have died and been inferred after sery-
ices in some church. In almost every
instance the same well-lnown faces Of
surviving friends were observed among
the general momners. Elihu Root.
John u. Parsons, Stephen p. Nash. ex-
Surrogate Delano, G. Calvin and Ed
ward Lauterbach rarely omit attend
Ing the obsequies of departed friends.
EN-Police Inspector Alexander S. viii
liams and Gen. Howard Carroll are two
men who apparently never neglect
them.
One cold, clustering day last winter.
when the streets were banked hiph
with snow and tho winds were full Of
ley needles, there was a simple funeral
ceremony in a certain private house.
The dead man had at one time been very
active and influential in New York. but
adverse fortune had overtaken him be-
fore his last illness. In his prime many
hundreds had sought his friendship.
Around his coffin scarcely two score Of
loyal friends had gathered. Chief
among these few mourners, however.
were ex-Inspector Williams and Gen.
Carroll.
Ex-Mayor Hugh ]. Grant is another
strict observer Of the etiquette pertain
ing to funerals. Only the most exact
ing obligations win prevent his attend
ing the funeral of an old friend. And
it is the same way with Comptroller
Fitch, Postmaster Van Colt and ex-
Postmaster Dayton. Two familiar fig-
ures at the public funerals of old New
Workers are those of ex-Postinaster

CANALS OF PREHISTORIC MAN.
An Ancient Irrigation system DIs-
covered fn Arizona

-N- ~A%NANhA ANNA&aAApn system Dis
covered fn Arizona.
a western correspondent furnishes
something doubly curious about the en-
gineering resources of the ancient past
and the contriying abilities and re-
sources in the west in the present in
dustrial era.
During my last visit to Arizona, 1
saw in the Salt river valley d sight that
would strike stranger as queer. A
steam dredging scow, such as Is used
IN deepening riNers and harbors for
navigation was voyaging slowly and
steadily through a wide strip of arid
desert. 1t was started landward from
salt river, and was eNcavating its own
channel ahead, the river waters follow
ing and floating it as it advanced. But
the work was not, in fact, the making Of
a new channel, but the digging out of
an old one, the irrigating canal made
by civilized people that lived and
ilourished and departed before recorded
American history began. That there
was time when this wide valley. now
being again redeemed to man, was
garden of plenty, teeming with inhab-
itants, is shown by the extensive and
regular system Of broad canals leading
from the river, through which water for
lrrigating was conveyed for centuries.
With the drifting sands and earth, these
canals are still plainly indicated on the
face Of the ground, and so skilfullv were
they planned and built that modern en-
gineeling science applied to irrigation
can do no better than retrace their
course and restore them. What race
laid out the canals and built the towns
whose ruins are strung along the valley
is question not yet settled by archae-
ologists. Aztees or Toitecs, or each ia
their turn, probably tarried here in
their centuries long southwark to the
valley Of Mexico, and the ruins may be
OF an older people than either Of them.

FOR BICYCLIsTS.
How to Exercise During tho Win
ter Months.
A Necessary course TO Preserve Mus
cuIar Development and Good
HenIth-A simple
system.


Every wheelman and wheelwoman
will soon be confronted with the un-
pleasant necessity of laying aside his or
her health-giying steed and lapsing back
into that sluggish condition which
COMPS to those who do not exercise.
What must be done is for the cyclist to
find q substitute for the exercise which
has freshened his blood and given him a
ruddy cheek and healthful body. This
problem is one which has excited the
keenest interest among cyclists general
", AMI Prof. NJ. j. MacLevy. New
York instructor in physical culture, has
demonstrated that the accompanying
suggestions Will bring about desired re-
suits in remarkably short space Of
time.
It is a well known fact that during
the past season SO many cyclists have
built their systems up by the use OF the
wheel SO that to stop cycling all at once
would be almost injurious. 1t would be
like morphine fend suddenly deprived
of his drug. The reaction would be
more than he could stand BY following
a few simple rules there is no reason
why any rider should not keep in condi.
tion.
Physicians state that the lungs Of
cyclists have many more cells in active
operation than those who follow q pure
~ sedentary life. To this end IL is very
important that the chest development
be maintained. Let the cyclist raise the
windows Of his sleeping apartments. top
and bottom, about half a foot each.
thus affording the free circulation of
air. 1t is best that no tight clothing
be worn during this exercise, which
should be taken before breakfast. Throw
chest out. head up. and. while stand
ing on the same spot, let the limbs move
as If running, only, of course. make no
progress. Although every muscle used
when cycling is not brought into play
in this exercise, most of them are. Care
should be taken not to overdo this exer-
else the first time, as -exertion is in
furious. Each day the exercise can be
increased until one can, to all intents
and purposes, seorch 20 miles without
moving an inch
La order to develop the calf muscles
and those of the thigh which are not
brought into play by stationary run
ming, one should sit in chair and have
pound dumbbells strapped to the shoe.
Place the foot horizontal with the thigh
and keep this movement up for five
minutes. The muscles will be found to
be much benefited by this exercise. The
duration of the exercise can best be
judged by the cyclist from the fatigue it
actuates.
Now stand upright. and. throwing
the shoulders back, abdomen well ii.
raise on the toes. 1t is we'll to count
the number Of elevations and increase
the same gradually till about so or co
can be done. Next the cyclist should
take care that his joints do not suffer
stiffening by assuming what is known
as the hip-toed position. and by hopping
on both feet at once. The joints viii be
materially benefited

person owning it. but every cyclist has

The up-to-date woman, who knows

For wedding outfits there is a call for

FORT DELAWARE'S GARRISON.
ONLY FIFTEEN ARTILLERYMEN
AND A LIEUTENANT. INSTEAD
OF A FULL BATTERY.

OF A FULL BATTERY.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Because of fha
incomplete State of the quarters at
Fort Delaware and Finn's Point. Del.
the War Department has been obliged
to send only fifteen men under "a lieu
tenant to the former fortiication. i'm
stead OF dividing a battery between the
posts, as originally ordered. The men
are from the First Artillery, now at the
Washington barracks.
The announcement That Battery /. OF
the Fourth Artillery, Captain Constan-
time Chase, had been ordered frcm the
Washington barracks to garrison Fort
Delaware and the forbifications at
Finn's Point, opposite, en- the New Jer-
sey shcre, was made ON November 6.
Captain Chase, it is said, visited Fort
Delaware last week to inspect the for
titcations and the barracks.
The cid barracks have been under re-
pair and reconstruction for sew
eral mCnths past, under a
lieutenant Of the Quartermaster's De
partment, who was relieved from duty
about two weeks ago. In ad-
dition to the barracks ait Fort Della
ware, which were intended to be the
headquarters of the garrison, there has
been buiit at Firms Point accOmmoda-
items fer twelve or fifteen men.
at Finn's Point three ten-inch guns
ON disappearing carriages are mounted
and ready fer firing, and emplacements
have been constructed for three twelve
inca guns, which have not been mount
ed, because ahe carriages are not vet
ready. AT Fort Delaware, waera. prep
arations are going forward for a bait
terry Elf three twelye-inCh and three ten
inch guns, work on The foundations for
Jhe guns has been going on for several
months.
Wcrll is progressing in the construc-
tion Of a battery cf mCitars, on the
Delaware shcre, just below the town of
Delaware City. 1t is said that the
tinn's Point Battery is the best plan
ned and constructed fortification I'm the
UnEed States, and that officers cf the
army have paid frequent visits to 1t
luring the past year, considering it a
model work.
1t is Thought that the ordering Of
Battery | to Fort Delaware, which, if
not quite ready for a garrison as large
as fun battery, will surely be in a
few months, is due to a desire to show
Congress the need of additional regi-
menlts of artillery.
