The Home.

The Home; what other earthly
treasure can compare with this?
What sweet, what sacred associations
cluster around the dear name of home
1t breathes of protection, rest, COM
fort and of loved ones, and whispers
to the weary toler Of a retreat and
respite from the trials and perplex-
tiles of busy world. How potent
for good or evil in the child's future
life are the lessons and influences of
home, and how necessary that these
influences should be for the best.
How often do we have occasion to
look back upon our past and thank
God that We had u home, with kind
parents to guide our young minds
Alright, although in our youthful
ignorance we Thought them tyranlcal
indeed. Impressions received in
childhood are never wholly effaced,
and habits there formed become part
our life Parents should then. by
word and example, instil into their
children the habits of industry,
economy and neatness. Nor should
the moral part of the child's nature
be neglected, but it should be taught
consideration for others, charity, and
to reverence all things sacred. The
grls especially should be thoroughly
trained in the art-for it is indeed an
art-of housekeeping Give them
every possible advantage in learning
how to manage the duties Of the home
from the parlor to the kitchen, so
that should they ever have a home OF
their own, be it a cottage or mansion,
they will know how to manage it in
every detail. How pitiful a sight il
is to see a finely furnished home I'M
der the care of one who never learned
the art of housekeeping. 1t is like 9
magnificent vessel tossed about help
lessy on the ocean without a master
mind to guide, and steady hand a
the wheel
1t is great accomplishment to bt
able to compose and skilifully execute
fine piece of music, or to paint
fine picture, and it Is no less an &C
complishment to plan, prepare ant
serve daintily and tastefully, a fin
dinner. The musician is careful tina
no discords enter into the compost
ton and that all parts harmonic
perfectly; the painter blends ant
harmonizes his colors; and it i
equally necessary that all the element
composing the dinner should blen,
and harmonic.

Dining Rooms.

Suggestions with regard to the
furniture of dining rooms for people
vi moderate circumstances are often
called for. 1t is expected that one
should manage their home with refer
ehce to comfort, good taste and true
happiness, rather than for style or
fashion. The inquiry is often made:
Are not rag carpets the most durable
LOT dining rooms and also the most
economical? In most cases we think
not. When ones resources are limit
ed and when the men of the family
are farmers or out door laborers and

SUNDAY FUNERALS.
Up in Moscow Ministers Object to Sunday
Observation-Disclosures Must Consult
Them Before Going Up
the Flume.

The ministers of various churches
in Moscow have formed funeral
trust, the object of which is the dis
continuance of Sunday burials, the
articles of the corporate by laws reads
thus:
l. That funerals be not appointed
on the Sabbath
2. That the clergyman whose
presence is desired be consulted be-
fore time and place of service are
fixed.
Now, we like that arrangement.
Generally deceased persons, expire
about two days before interment, and
to be buried on Sunday, one must
needs die on Friday, and Friday al
way S was an unlucky day on which
TO undertake long and arduous jour
MES. We always OBJECT to dying OH
Friday anyway, and hereafter will
shuttle off our mortal coil earlier in
the week, so as to conform with the
Moscow regulations. 1t would DE a
fine stroke TO make dying on Friday
a felonious offense, punishable by fine
and Imprisonment Then the second
article is considerable and thoughtful.
When a Moscow man feels that the
time for turning up his toes is oppor-
tune, he may 90 out and consult II
minister about 1t, and if the minister
will not be disconnected by the ar
rangement, he can 90 home and die
in peace, with the blessed assurance
that the ethics of theology have been
carefully complied with ltoccurs to
us, though, that the Moscow sky
pilots have not progressed far enough
They should fix times, not only for
burial, but for death, birth and mat
rimony. No man has a right to be
born, to die or TO wed without first
consulting minister as to time, place
and other contingencies.

and price should be the first consid-
eration,the the beauty of the article.

but very durable and handsome The
leather should match the other furni-
ture in color.
A dining room should always be
bright and cheerful. The plainest
room may be made beautiful by exer-
cising little skill and good taste. 1t
is not necessary that the carpet should
match the furniture, but only that
the colors harmonic White curtains
are always desirable for dining room
windows. Nothing imparts such an
inviting appearance to a table as
flowers. A center piece of flowers of
Il rare or delicate variety is most at
tractive Growing plants in bloom
are also desirable for center pieces,
as are dainty ferns.
A heavy piece of canton flannel or
baize placed upon the table under
meath the table cloth will give a
heavier and finer appearance TO the
linen and also deaden the sound of
dishes. All linen should be spotless
white The table should he covered
with the table cloth laid with the in

And let me here add: when the cloth

longer The center piece should I've
placed in the center of the table and

A QUEER BILL.

On Wednesday last, Representa-.

Pictorial Representative Schluter,
of this district, were granted per
mission to introduce a bill in the
house of representatives at Austin,
authorizing the lease of any rail-
roads connecting at the state line
not exceeding thirty miles in
length. by any railroad company so
connecting with same We fail to
grasp the real objection of this
piece of legislation. What thirty
mile road in Texas will the bill, if it
becomes a law, affect?-Courier.
Our attention was called to the
above item over the phone this
morning and our opinion asked as to
what road this would affect if this
bill became a law, our questioner
saying he thought the bill was
aimed at the Texarkana& TT, Smith
railroad, which has about twenty
eight miles of line in Texas. We
saw in published item a day or
two ago where the Texas d Pacific
road asked the legislature to give
them authority to buy the East
Line road, which runs from Jeffer-
son to Mckinney, and this bill we
suppose has reference to this road.
There is no doubt, however, but
what the Texas & Pacific road
would like to own the twenty-eight
or thirty miles of road belonging to
the X. c. p & G. road as it has cut
quite a hole in its business from
here to Louisiana points-the ship,
