Swiss Funeral Customs.

The funeral customs among some or
the Swiss are most peculiar. At the
death of a person the family inserts
formal, black edged announcement IN
the papers asking for sympathy and
stating that "the mourning urn" Will
be exhibited certain hours OH special
day. In front of the house where the
person died there is placed a little black
table, covered with "a black cloth, on
which stands black jar. Into this the
friends and acquaintance of the family
drop little black margined visiting
cards, sometimes with few words OF
sympathy ON them. The urn is put out
on the table on the day of the funeral. No
one except men ever goes to the church
yard, and they generally follow the
hearse on foot, though sometimes car
riages are used. The horses that draw
the hearse have long, black cloaks on,
with places cut out for them to see
through. Brooklyn Eagle.

When "Fiat Justitia" Talks.

The irritable person-generally elderly

ing his determination to write to the
papers is exclusively a product OF mod

mental exercise of evolving a quarter OF

to agitated minds will be admitted by
most of us-by more than will readily
plead guilty to recourse to the remedy.
When "Paterfamilias, or Constant

if he ever thinks Of the matter at all
that it is only because he lives IN
these last days that be can indulge him

The Old Newfoundland Fisheries.

Il has always been "a common notion
that for the first half of the sixteenth
century the French, Spanish and Portu-
guese had the Newfoundland fishery to
themselves. Judge Prowse disposes sum-
marily of this idea and brings forward
ample proof not only that the English
fishing fleet was there in great strength,
but that for the whole century, and most
certainly from the accession OF Eliza
beth, it ruled this heterogeneous float
ing colony IN most masterful fashion
Spain was computed to have 5000 sail
ors OH the banks at this period. Portu-
gal was not very far behind her, while
France was probably more strongly rep
resented than either.

right of all these nations to equal share
in the trade, the supremacy OF the Brit

The climate of the Sicily islands is

There are only three seasons in Sicily

The Scouts Of the sea.

Torpedo boats, however, are designed
for wider service than simply to carry
and discharge the fiightful weapon
from which they take their name. They
are to the navy what scouts and skir-
mishers are to land army. They form
the cavalry Of the sea, of which the
cruisers aIe the infantry and the battle
ships and monitors the artillery arm.
They must spy out the position OF tho
enemy's fleet, hover about his TANKS or
haunt his anchorage TO ascertain what
he is about and what he means to do
next. They must act as the pickets OF
their own feet, patrolling the neighbor-
hood or waiting and watching concealed
among islands or in inlets and river
mouths, ready to hasten away to the
admiral with warning of any movement
of the enemy.
1t is not their business to fight Eek
cept rarely, in the one particular way),
but rather to pry and sneak and run.
Hence they are as small and sleek and
swift as they can be made. When the
feet goes upon cruise, they are carried
on the decks of the big warships. al
| though they are able to get about in
really rough weather by themselves. A
very recent idea is to build them out of
aluminium, which would not only be
of great advantage toward ease of trans
portation, but would tend toward in
creased speed by adding buoyancy and
| elasticity to the structure, which seems
to skim along the surface and fairly
leap from wave to wave, but it is doubt
full whether aluminium is strong enough
for safety and whether it will not be
injured by the chemical action Of the
sea water.-Ernest Ingersoll i'll st.

Anton Ribicb, an employee oithe smelt-
ing works at Dollar Bay, was the victim
OF a serious accident Monday. He was
engaged in taking alag from the furnace
in the iron wheeled cars in use there.
When outside at the dumping place he
did not wait until the mass was cool
enough to dump, with the result that an
explosion occurred and he received some
OF the molten stuff in the face. One rye
will be destroyed, without doubt, and
the other may be. He was attended by
DR.. Abrams and after temporary care oI
his wounds was brought to the Hancock
hospital. Mr.. Ribich Is young man

to be secretary of the treasury under Pres

asked to take the same place by President
Arthur, and again he declined. President

met with the same fate. General Harrison
