every blanket should be unrolled and

TO CARRY THE DEAD.
TROLLEY FUNERAL CARS IN
CHICAGO.
They Have Proved Decided Success
the Old Line Funeral Directors Are
Becoming CorrespondingIy Envious-
Saves Expenses. .
(Chicago NeWs.)

Trolley car funerals, a recent in1o-
vation by two South side electric lines,
are fast threatening to supplant the
corteges drawn by horses. A saving Of
expense in electric car funerals is one
Of the chief arguments in favor of their
popularity.
The Calument Street Railway COM
pany and the Chicago Electric Traction
company both have funeral cars.
On the Calumet Electric line, which
covers a wide stretch Of territory
south of Sixty-third street, the number
OF trolley car funerals sometimes
reaches as high as four or five day.
During the months of January, Feb
ruary and March of this year, the Cal
umet company filled the largest num-
Der Of funeral engagements since it in
stituted the custom in Chicago.
Arrangements with the undertakes
of the different suburbs along the lire
are made by the company. The under
takers dislike to give up the liberal
commissions from livery establish
ments that they once enjoyed, but to
no avail. The trolley funeral is cheap
er and 1T has come to stay. 1t costs
but $11 for motor and trailer, with
an extra charge of So for every addi-
tional car needed
The Calumet company has no special
funeral car. The back is removed
from one of the seats of an ordinary
motor car and on this seat the casket
is placed. On either side of the casket
the pail bearers take their places and
the mourners fill the remainder of
the seats. Only a placard in the front
bearing the word Special in heavy
black letters indicates it's mission.
Oakwoods cemetery comes in for a
large share of trolley funerals, but Mt
Greenwood, Mt. Olivet and Mt. Hope
are used also. These three are located
on the line of the Chicago Electric
Traction company, and to reach them
it Is necessary for the Calumet line to
transfer it's funeral train to the motor
car of the neighboring line, which is
done quite frequently.
On the line of the Chicago Electric
Traction company a special funeral
car, the Virginia, is provided. 1t is
dark green in color. At each end there
is vestibule having door in it's front
for the admission of the casket. In
one or the other of these vestibules the
| casket remains during the journey to
the cemetery, screened from the rest OF
the car by heavy curtains. The car
proper is richly furnished and accom-
modates twenty persons.

A White Elephant In Paris.

A genuine white elephant-or what
passes as such-has been presented to
the Parisians by M. Doumer, the
French representative in Siam. Cherie.
as the pachyderm has already been
nicknamed, made her state entry into
Paris few days ago. being met at the
Garde de Lyon by a distinguished
company. Some little disappointment
was felt when it was observed, as the
traveller stepped on the platform, that
she was scarcely so white as she had
been painted. The prevailing tone Of
her complexion is. indeed, a sort OF
patchy red, yelled by mass OF grayish
hair, the eyelids and the eyes being
pink. 1t will be remembered that Bar
NUNS specimen, secured at immense
COST" fell equally short Of its reputa-
ton. AS a matter of fact, the Albino
elephant is never really white, but the
deficiency of nature is sometimes made
up for by the aid of art. 1t is crafty
ing to learn that the guest OF the
Jardin des Plantes has charming man
ners, including clever habit Of kneel-
ing and doing obeisance to the French
public.-London Chronicle.

Truant's for Cause.

The sub-inspector Of schools in Ma
lacca Straits Settlements is obliged to
report a shockingly low average at
tendance of native children at school.
OF course there is a reason. Three
murders have recently occurred in Ma
laca, and the murderer in some way
gave notice--or was said to have done
so-that he was making a collection Of
heads and would stop when he killed
twenty people. These things cause no
particular surprise in the east, where
queer things happen. People accept
facts as they are. People do kill with
out reason in the east. Coolies, driv-
ers and grooms refuse to go out after
dark. Bullock-cart drivers won't ira
vel the country roads without compa-
ny. And what a glorious holiday for
the pupils in the government schools!

MISSING LINKS.

There are many fishes that in captiv-
ity seem TO follow some definite course
in their movements as, for instance,
they may swim round and round tie
tank in one direction. The goldfish,
however, in its moving about, appears
to be sort of aimless fish; it goes
down to the bottom and up to the
top and criss-cross and every which
way, and moving commonly rather
sluggishly.
During the continuance Of the Ma
tional Export Exposition, in Phiadel-
phia, next fall, the city hall will be
brilliantly illuminated. This struc-
ture is the highest building in the
world, towering SAT feet above the
ground, and is also considered one Of
the handsomest buildings in the United
States. At present there is a rim Of
lights around the base Of the statue Of
William Penn, which surmounts the
structure, and they can be seen at q
distance of thirty miles. Before the
exposition opens ring OF arc lights
will be placed around the rim Of Penn's
hat, over 500 feet above the pavement,
and long strings of incandescent lights
will run from there to the roof of the
building. Every cornice will be studded
with lights, and all sides of the mas
sive building will be emblazoned by
beautiful designs In colored lights. 1t
will be one Of the most dazzling cleo
trio displays ever attempted in this
country.

with thoughtful eye. He had

with perfect composure. Simmondson
evidently set him down as a lout, and
when the witness hesitated over some
question moment he roared: What
are y studying about? 'Fraid of tell

any apparent haste the country man
picked up a massive inkstand and
hurled 1t straight at Simmondson' s

the nose and knocking him senseless.

played her majesty's portrait between
two royal standards in grove Of pork

hams emblazoned with the letters "V.

CHILD GROWTH.
Make the Education Accord with It.
Not Oppose IT.


Not oppose 1T.
Growth focuses for a time upon one
set of organs or functions, then upon
another, until the whole body is devel-
oped; but all parts OF the body do not
grow at one and the same time. The
body grows first in length, and then in
girth, in breadth and depth of chest,
in breadth and height OF forehead, in
breadth and length of face. To make
a special application Of this WELL
known fact of periodicity in physical
growth, let us observe the develop
ment of the muscles of the arm. The
muscles of the upper arm-those con-
cerned in the functioning Of the Shout
der joint-are ripe and ready for train
ing at least year and one-half before
the muscles of the fingers. The mus
cles of the shoulder mature for train
the elbow, and these in turn five to
eight months before the muscles of the
wrist, which are ripe and ready for
training from three to six months be-
fore the muscles of the fingers. When
We insist that a child shall begin to
write by means of the finger muscles
only with small pencil in narrow
spaces on ruled paper or a slate we run
directly counter to the principles of
growth and development that nature
has so plainly written in his constitu
ton. Must not education, to be edu-
nat nj oil hn i,, MI
principles rather than in opposition to
them? The child Of years, during
the first days OF his school life, chooses
to make large, whole-arm movements
rather than the minute movements OF
the finger muscles. At first he requires
almost an acre. of blackboard space
in which to write few sentences. We
must train the large shoulder muscles
before attempting to burden the ten
der undeveloped finger muscles,
which are really injured by such too
early strain and involved activity.
Thus we find in our best regulated kin
dergartens Of today none OF the finer
work for the younger children. The
young child is no longer required to
take up the bead-stringing and PIN
pricking exercises-at least not until
his eyes and his finger muscles are ripe
and ready for such training. In some
of the most modern kindergartens the
occupations and gifts are concerned
with larger objects instead Of those
formerly used, which were Of the small
Ter, more orthodox size-larger blocks,
larger pencils, larger needles, larger
beads and coarse string instead OF fine
thread.-Forum.

Coming on Later.

Some years ago Sir Henry Irving
was called on, in Dublin, to play a
heavy part to which he was not accus'
toned. One of the actors had not
turned up, and there was a vacancy.
Irving had to come on early in the
first act. Now, the Dublin gallery boy
is an institution in himself. There is
nothing like him anywhere. CONVEX
sations between young fellows across
from one side of the gallery to the
other are spoken in loud tones, and in
the distinct hearing Of the actors. Irv-
ing is, as everybody knows, very thin,
and when he appeared with stride.
which is one Of the most characteristic
things about him, one Of these gallery
boys shouted across to another: FAX,
an is that him?" 'No," was the re-
ply, them is the young mans clothes.
They'll shove him out later on."-Spare

A CAGE FOR BABY.
He Was Delighted and So Was the
Mother.


Mrs. Ebert Clark lockwood of Iowa
City, Iowa, described a way to keep the
baby safe while doing the ordinary du-
ties OF the day, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. 1.-THE essentials" she writes,
seem to be that the child should be
kept from the floor and be given free
dom without danger OF falling. This
is the plan I adopted, and which
called cage: Two high-backed din
ing-rOom chairs were utilized, being
set with the fronts of the seats to-
gether. This left the backs at each
end. Then the sides of the two chairs
were measured and a light frame made
Of that size, to which was fastened
small mesh wire fencing. These frames
were tightly tied at the top and bot
tom of the chair posts and thus the
cage was completed and could be cas-
lily put together and taken apart at
pleasure. Into 1t was put the baby,
with playthings and cushions. The
conditions were fulfilled, for the baby
was off the floor and could stand or sit,
or even walk little, as the fancy
seized him. The baby was delighted
and so was the mother"

"AS ADVERTISED"
south American Interprets This Phrase
with Great Strictness.

"An advertiser has to stick to the
truth in South America" said repre-
sentative of large shipping concern
to New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
porter. Il know that seems incredible,
but it's absolutely SO. Some years ago
a dealer in New Orleans sent an assert
ed lot OF patent medicines To an Ameri.
can agent at Santiago, Chilli Among
the stuff was a lot of toothache drops.
which were warranted on the bottle to
cure the worst case Of toothache in
ten minutes. Here nobody would take
such an assertion seriously, but down
there it is different The first man
who bought a bottle made an immedi-
ate application, and then pulled out his
watch. When ten minutes elapsed and
the tooth calmly continued to ache he
was furious and at once had the agent
arrested. The poor fellow was fined
$1,000 and sentenced to three months in
Jail. Through the efforts of the Ameri-
can consul the Imprisonment was
knocked off, but he had to pay the
fine, and it broke him up in business.
That story is absolutely true, as can be
testified to by dozen people now in
the city. 1t is sad to fancy the effect
on commercial circles generally il such
a law was enforced in the United
States

Basket-W0rk Cushions.

Basket-work cushions are among the
seasons fancies. Strips of open-work
ribbon in pronounced colors are laid
over a square Of buckram, the strips
being two inches apart. Cross-pieces
are then woven in and out. When
brilliant colors are used the effect is
rather oriental, and baskets of this de-
scription are much in favor with young
women who have boudoirs furnished In
imitation Of foreign nations.
