FUNERAL SERVICES IN JALAPA.
However Poor the Family Is. There Il
Always a Band That Plays
"WashinStOn POST

A funeral among the poor in Jalapa,
Mex, is a sight long to be remembered.
First come the coffin bearers, carrying the
stained pine box On their shoulders, for
there isn't hearse or even carriage in
the whole city of Jalapa. the coffin is
eaudily decorated with long streamerS of
black muslin, and with ornaments that a
child of this country would associate with
Christmas trees. Behind follow the mourn
ers, a motley crowd, shoeless and often
hatless. But however poor or miserable,
they always liven things up with music.
There is always band. and it always
plays the washington POST march.
When the grave is reached the mourn
ers seat themselves comfortably, and ma n,
woman and child proceed TO light up ci-
garS or cigarettes. While they smoke and
chat the carpenter Che does not usually
deserve the name of undertaker) carefully
removes from the coffin all the streamerS
and ornaments. Sometimes even the body
itself Is removed and buried alone in cases
where the family of the dead are too poor
to do more than hire coffin. Most car
penters keep on hand a stock of boxes
fer just such occasions. Finally. when the
burial service is ended. the mouruers throw
away their cigars. form in lire, and march
back again to the city. while the band
continues to play the Washington Post"
AT the beginning of the war between this
country and Spain tne city band of Jalapa
discontinued its practice of PLAYING
Yankee Doodle ard Hail, Columbia. !"
but Jalara still buries its dead to the mar
tial strains Of the Washington Post.''-Ex.

HAVE SALTED- PECANs.
The Southern Nut Has Taken q High
Place Among Lovers of Good
Eating as a Side Dish.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Sailed almonds on every table Except
that one set for breakfasO are an old
story.
They are certainly good for digestion.
but are not as new or as toothsome as
the side dishes of salted pecaus or wal
nuts.
At any table in epicurean New Orleans
you will be offered the small dish of salted
peCsns after dinner with ones coffee, cr
with ones omelette souile at luncheon. &.
The vendors cry them all along the thor
oughfares and a picayune buys a tumbier
full, already Shelled.
Here, however, they are not so available,
and it seems not SO large or sweetly fla
yored-but that may be sentiment.
When shelling them take the two halves
out Uninjured: this makes them easier to
eat. One can have them salted as the al
moEdS are done, but many prefer to use
the salt at the side, as one does with GEL
cry. or watermelon, as many of the South
erEers do.
Walnuts are easily obtained in care
fully shelled state; fine grocers have all
nuts in this way at very much siishter
cost. IL one is in a hurry. If a luncheon
or dinner is given dish Of each is desir-
able.
Try them instead of the salted almonds.
You will find guests and the family ap-
preCiate the change Of flavor immensely.

A Strange Use for Bibles.

From the Ceylon Standard.
1t seems that gold-leaf for decorative pur-
poses is. as a regular matter of business,
packed in little books made up of the un-
bound pages of holy writ cut to the requi-
site size for the purpose, and stitched to-
gether. On inquiry. learn that the prac-
tice of packing the material in this way
is we'll established one, and that the
Bible is selected for this purpose, because.
as a rule. the type is more EVENLY set, and
the printing generally finer and better ex-
ecuted. On the other hand. l hear from
other sources that the use Of the Bible is
looked upon as a sort of guarantee that
the leaf is of the best possible quality. 1t
appears that the Book of Common Prayer
is also employed for the same purpose.
Gold-leaf books are made up and supplied
to the trade by an enterprising firm in
Birmingham. An enterprising gentleman
in London also supplies them. 1t is evil
dent that the hooks are made up from the
sheets in which they leave the press, and
before they are folded.

INDlA's NEW VlCEROY.
Appointment of George N. CurzOn to
Succeed the Earl of Elgin
Announced.

LONDON. Aug. 1O.-The foreign office this
evening formally announced the appoint
mert Of George n. CurZon, until now the
parliamentary secretary Of the foreign Of
flee, as viceroy of India, in succession to
the Earl of Elgin.
Mr.. CurZon, the new yiceroy OF India,
will probably start for Calcutta in No.
vember. The appointment excites quite un-
usual interest.
All the morning papers publish, in addi-
tion to editorials, special articles revieW>
ing his strikingly brilliant career, wish
ing him success and generally expressing
approval of the appointment, though some
doubts are suggested on the score of his
fact that he Is opposed to advocate a for
ward" policy regarding the northwestern
frontier of India
The Times says: TT is a striking ap-
pointment and a great experiment. At 80
Mr.. CurZon obtains what may be truly
called the most splendid position under
| the crown, the position which. to most
men, would be crOwning reward OF a
| life's ambition. but which, to this favored
child of fortune, may prove to be but a
| STEP
| Mr.. Curzon and the empire. that Lord Sal
| isburys very interesting experiment will
| succeed. The first requisite must be Mr..
CurZon's restoration to health. Fortunate
| ly, he has always enjoyed robust health
| in Eastern lands.
He has youth. wealth and cleverness and,
| as the society of Calcutta and Simla will
! soon discover, he has charming wife.
| Those are no common endowmentS, which
| ought to secure success on the social side
! of his career His friends say that his
! present indisrosition Is the result of over
! work. and they are confident that India
| will prove his salvation. He finds the late
hours of parliament. combined with his
official duties at the foreign office. extreme
| ly trying
| The Daily Chronicle says:
| Mr.. CurZon risks his whole career on
! this shining peak. Unless he makes a
| great success. he will make very great
| failure. Many American ladies have graced
| the society of the old country as the wives
| of prominent men, but to none of them has
| 1t been given to play part in the British
| empire as Mrs. Curzon will enjoy"
| The Standard says: Mr.. Curzon Is suf-
| fering from a recrudescence of his spinal
| malady. He had TO lie on couch in his
| private room in the house of commons
| Tuesday night. Much sympathy was ex-
| pressed in the lobby at his breakdown at

A Pat Quotation.

1t was hot evening and the car was
crowded with people VINO had gone over to
the West side for the purpose of getting
little fresh air if possible.
A lady who sat on the second seat of
the trailer asked to be set down at Liberty
street. The cars whirled away like an ex-
press train for two or three squares. and
then the man who was taking care of the
trolley rope looked back and asked:
DO you want Liberty, madam
She was Il pretty. demure looking little
woman. but the temptation was not to be
resisted. Apparently oblivious of her sur
roundings and the fact that the mans
question had directed general attention to
her, she stood up in the car, bent forward
slightly and answered.:
Yes, give me Liberty or give me DEATH
Everybody laughed save a man on the
rear seat. He took his cigar from his
mouth and as the lady stepped down

Following the prayer. Colonel James, of

proposed three cheers for the army and

fied out the suggestion
Bland Takes the Chair.
In the meantime MIR. Bland was nervous.
usually pale, but at moments flushed. H
gave Indifferent attention TO the many who
attempted 10 speak to him. His eye was
taking in the crowd, and he looked like a
man who expected defeat. but who had
resolved to fight to the end. Before he APP
peared many were saying he would not
come out strong against expansion. but his
locks dispelied this opinion. With over
whelming sentiment against him. he was
resolved to reassert his position and de-
mand resolutions in support of it.
Mr.. Bland was promptly presented and
was received with fair applause. In a
voice that unwillingly revealed Subdued
emotion. he began:
"I thank the state committee for this
high honor. We are met, my friends. as
the representatives, Of The grand Demo-
cratic party Of this imperial state. WHAT

appealed to the convention not to violate
precedent by trying to tell the coming

His friends tried to prolcng the cheers
when he quit. but they failed. Many of
them looked sad. but none was more dis
quieted than Mr.. Bland. He felt that his
views would not be the views accepted by

see the one question of his congressional
career set aside for another.
