when the skQnk bed sereWsd bis Sour-

saw these same Notwithstanding
little birds tear the animal TO shYeds.
When my attention was first attracted
the Eparsows were flying from one side
Of the thieket 10 the other, twittering
like mad, When / went to learn the
cause, the skuak, badly frightened, was
lodging from one side to the other OF
a log, trying TO escape the savage at
tacks of the featbered tribe. The birds
didn't mind me, but kept dsshing tAeii

His wife had asked him TO hang pic

and he had said that he would do it 'in

"You just get me the cord and pic

the servant girl to run down cellar and
bring up the stepladder, and carry il
into the parlor, and where's those two
little screw thing-a-ma-jigs that go into

QUEER DEATHBED REQUEST.
A Prominent Japnnese OF No Re-
IiEious Relief Leaves Direc-
tions for Burial.

Lieut.. Yoshibumi. .Funigawa, Of the |.
j. N, left behind curious request to
his family few days prior to his death,
which occurred the other day in his ma
tive district of Hizen. He observed to
his family that as he had never had time
TO investigate religious questions deep
ly enough to enable him to determine
which faith he should embrace he was
neither prejudiced against nor partial
toward any form of religion. However,
he himself was of opinion that his soul
would perish with the cessation of life.
while his remains would crumble to
dust. Therefore he did not wish to
have any religious services performed
on his behalf, says the japan Times.
The funeral also should be as simple
as could be and flowers and similar
offerings be strictly declined. No an
nouncement should be made Of his
death to friends of his until four or five
days after the funeral. Two or three
weeks after his death bis rela tives and
friends should be invited to banquet,
and they should be asked to enjoy the
occasion as heartily as possible. A
priest might be invited, if the presence
of such a parsonage were deemed de-
sirable. At the funeral also nobody
should accompany the bier, except, if
considered necessary, one or two repre-
sentatives on behalf of the family and
relatives might follow the remains to
the grave. The tomb was TO be of The
simplest description, only his name to
be inscribed upon it, A memorial tab

Fiattering Notice of Prof. Williams From
His Home In Beliaire.

His Home In Bellaire.
Speaking of the departure OF Prof.
Williams, who has been employed as
Superintendent of the Marietta Schools,
a Bellaire paper has the following;
Superintendent Williams has decided
to accept the offer of the Marietta
Board of Education and will go there
with his family some time before the
beginning of the school year. Bellaire
regrets this. as Prof Williams and his
excellent wife have made many friends
among our people. As superintendent
of our schools Prof. Williams has dem
onstrated his ability as an educator
and made for himself warm friends OF
his assistants, pupils and patrons OF
the school. His energy, industry, in
telligence and tact have enabled him
to discharge the duties Of Superintend-
ent to the satisfaction of the people in
terested in public education, and he
carries with him to new field the
hearty good will of the community
which he has served faithfully and
effectively for two years. He has been
more than superintendent of our
schools, he has been an active moral
force in the community and has shrunk
from none Of the duties that persons OF
superior intelligence owe to the COM
munity in which they dwell. Our peo-
pie will regret parting with Prof. Will
liams ond his family, but will be glad
to know that they will find home in
such pleasant place as Marietta
