FUNERAL REFORM.

Dispatches from Michigan are to
 the effect that Grand Rapids pastors
 are making commenIdab.e effort to
 work reform in their city in the
 conduct of funerals They recom-
 mend less display, less extravaganza
 the discarding of somber mourning
 shorter sermons, and week days in- stead of Sundays for funerals.
 Their advice, which is most sensi- ble and timely, will apply with equal force in all communities. There can
 be no question that funeral customs
 need reforming in mcst of these par ticulars. Respect for the dead is a
 worthy sentiment, if not made to
 work injury to the living. But the
 excessive assumption Of black attire
 and the intensifying of grief by every
 device of the undertaker's art that ap-
 peaas to the eye, can have no other
 effect than flo prolong the agony as-
 associated with death, depress the
 mind and defeat the eff-rt which na- ture makes ito throw off morbid and disease breeding influences There is plenty of shadow in human life, at the best, and amy custom which unneces- sarily deepens it is positively foolish and sinful
 Looking at this custom of wearing heavy black and making ostentatious displays of grief for the dead, from a psychological standpoint, there is no doubt that its influence. is hurtf,,] physically and mentally. There is a subtle but very real connection be- tween the emotions and health. Whatever cheers and up,ifts amid draws out the mind from the contem- plation of its own griefs conduces to health and active usefulness; what ever depresses the mind supertnduces 10 disease and decay Hence it be- comes of importance to stociety that l funeral display be minimized so far as the exigency of dsath will allow. It does not follow that friends are to be unfeeling Or to hold in less loving their departed, but most 1f the lavish display and extravagant of woe which are so com non at funerals are lost upon the real nourners and serve only to interest he morbidly curious public. Good aste and good sense suggest that fun 'rals be simplified and made less os- entatious.
 The eastern pastors are equally on he right track when they depreca.e ong funeral sermons. In fact if they should entirely discard rthe habit of ln oratorical display on such occas- ons no harm would follow. Who loes not remember the old fashioned Vav which the clergyman thought his duty to follow, of personally ad- ress1ng the mourners, narrowing LID heir wounded hearts afresh by we'll neant but ill timed remarks? The '-actice was barbarous. Le. us re- o-ce that it has we'll nigh disappear d. The clergymen who have thus un- erTaken 10 reform the fuceral cus- oms of their people have already en- ountered adverse criticism, but their yell considered recommenda, lions will meet with sympathy from a large lass of people who will agree with hem that reform in the several par lculars which they have brought to ublic attention is greatly to be de- fred.

STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.
They Work Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.

They Work Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.
You often think it's hard for the pas
senger conductor of all accommodation
train Which> stops at two or three sta
lions to- the mile to tell who has paid
his fare and who has not. The conduct
or Of short run accommodation train
especially must be a peculiarly gifted
man. He must be at once both cool
heade cd and even tempered, or if not he
is total failure. H.. ~
But if the requisites Of railroad
conductor are such, what are the re-
quirements of the man who runs COM
mon street car? Why, as much as those
Of the railroad man and several times
more The railroad accommodation con-
ductor on one of the short run trains
which leave the big cities has little
more work, little more responsibility
and requires less real skill than the man
who by grace is called conductor on
trolley car of one of our cities
Both men, of course, have thousands
of cares. The railroad man has certain
number Of stops to make and certain
schedule time allowed for getting over
his run of the railroad. The street car
conductor has an uncertain number Of
stops to make, yet he still has his GER
tain scheduled time to make on his run,
and he must make it, too, or be able to
give an "a No. II excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the
biggest man on his train. Is ever the
street car conductor the biggest, unless
every passenger is off and the motorman
also? These things make it hard for the
patient man, who must be polite and
who is expected by the company for
which he works and spurred on by a
dozen or SO sharp eyed spoilers, or
street car detectives as they call
themselves, to feel as lovely as spring
morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly so The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that phase Of
existence once in decade, or If so not
any oftener.
No one presumes to expect so much
from the knight Of the ticket punch as
he does from the knight Of the trolley
rope. Every one who travels on street
cars expects the conductor to know
every cross street on his line and just
where it strikes that street, and, in
deed, he should know this much, but in
addition he is expected to know every
one who lives on the streets along
which his line runs, every one who
lives on all the countless streets which
cross the route Of his car and then all
the immediate streets and their inhabit-
ants the whole length Of his line. The
street car conductor is expected to be
porter as we'll On his car. He must help
