returned we hoped that she would pass

FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Manner of Placing Coffin in - Room

nnd of Carrying It.
While in old times it was more or
less the custom. in the interment OF
bodies, to bury them with their feet to
the east custom now substantially
superseded by the almost common
practice of burying the body with the
feet to the path along the front of the
lot, so was ii once more or less the
custom to place the coffin in the room
in which the deceased was to lie be-
fore burial with the feet to the east.
Nowadays the disposal of the body in
the room would be determined alto
gether by the shape and size of the
room, except that commonly the feet
would be placed toward the door.
Though the common way is to place
the body in the center of the room, an
other way IN comparatively modern
practice, is to place the coffin or casket
across one corner of the room. This
gives opportunity for a convenient and
effective disposition of flowers and for
al pieces, and it perhaps affords a bet
ter view of the face. AS to the man
ner of moving a body to its burial.
that is always done with the feet fore
most. 1t is carried out of the house
in that way, put into the hearse feet
foremost, and so is borne to the grave.

incorrectly. A recent instance is gwen.
In his Dallas speech Bryan declared
that Lincoln in a message to Congress
in the early sixties said that mo man
was more to be trusted in our Govern
ment than the man who tolls in pow
erty." With this as his text he went
on to explain that when he lauded the
plain people" or the common people, .
he was not playing the demagogue.
but was listening ito the heart beat OK
humanity"
Now Mr.. Lincoln did not say or
write that. What he did say is of
official record. namely, mo men living
are more worthy to be trusted than
those who toll up. from poverty; none
less inclined to take or touch aught
which they have not honestly earned. .
From; that Mr. Lincoln told how .the
prudent, penniless beginner in the
world works for wages awhile, saves
a surplus with which to buy tools o.
land for himself, then labors on his own
account another while; and at length
hires another new beginner to help

There is nothing whatever in the
declaration of the opposition that the
conduct Of city affairs can be had un-
der specific rate of taxation pledged
in advance. The needs of the city must
be met. The justifiable clamor for bst-
ter conditions must be responded to
by affirmative action. Sacramento is
neither to stand still nor retrogress,
except she is tied down to an uneco-
nomic policy of administration. The
Republican candidates are soiemnly
pledged to economy in all directions,
but likewise to promotion of needed
public improvements Chief of these
is the improvement of public health
conditions. Taxation can be and will
be reduced. but no man can foresee
what the rate will be except he throws
out of consideration wholly every item
OF improvements the people demand.
Some of these are improved cleaning
of garbage; a decent receiving hospital
and better attendance in it; enlarged
opportunities for the Free Library to
respond to public demand: introduce
ton of better, safer and more eco
nomic fire alarm system, and repair
and preservation of public buildings.
