something about the old game, and SO
I've been talking to your caddie."

plating His Reflection.
saw a performing monkey the other
day, says the London Daily News. He
went through many tricks very sue
cessfully. Toward the end of the per.
formance he was ordered to put on his
cooked hat before a hand mirror
which he did. He was next told to set
II straight, and he tried on his gen.
erals headgear repeatedly, at different
angles, causing much laughter. When
all was over, and the organ man, his
helpers and the two monkeys were
preparing to depart, | saw that the
general had possessed himself of the
little mirror and was studying his own
countenance with great delight! He
had placed the glass on top of the bar
rel organ and he bent over it again and
again-grimacing energetically He
afterward picked up the mirror and
contemplated himself earnestly and
oontentedly at different angles. His
face had been profoundly sad-like the
faces of most monkeys | have seen
but now the wrinkles smoothed them
selves out and he nearly smiled. Why
is it that dogs hardly ever regard
picture as anything but a fine surface
with patches of color dotted over IT?
In all my large canine acquaintance
know but one dog who sees that por-
traits are likenesses of peoplel AS for
his own reflection in a glass, a dog
generally mistakes it for an enemy
and goes for" IT, Later, when knocks
on the nose and the absence of scent
have done their part in convincing him
Of his mistake, dog will look colby,
not to saw despitefuliy, at the mirror.
Sometimes it is rs if dogs resented
their reflections as caricatures of them
selves. Unlike the dogs was "COcoro,"
a Greek cock. to whom a devoted owner
dedicated fourteen years of affection.
One of his pastimes was to contemplate
his reflection for hours at a time and
quite demurely He placed himself op-
posite loolSing-glaes above chest of
drawers for this express purpose. He
died last summer, and his owner was
disconsolate. Cocoro knew his name,
came when called and was the Joy of
his Greek mistress Perhaps London
society, or the diplomatic world, has
not forgotten the canary that belonged
to the daughters Of a minister to the

lips This was one way Of kissing

FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Manner OF Placing Coffin in Room
and of Carrying 1t.

anu OF carrying i"
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, a custom now substantially
Seperseded by the almost common
practice of burying the body with the
feet to the path along the front of the
lot, so was it 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
oil pieces, and it perhaps affords bet
ter view of the face. AS to the man

HER LITTLE BROTHER

Ny daughter-my eldest daughter
visited the Massachusetts, coast last
summer. Upon her return we were
not in all respects satisfied that her
summer trip had been a success. This
was a distinct disappointment, since
the expense had made quite a dent in
my bank account and l had hoped
that a certain listlessness with which
she had been affected would quite dis
appear.
l had expected that she would at
least catch golf before her return, since
it was known to be epidemic all along
the coast.
1t took, in both arms; and when she
returned we hoped that she would pass
regularly through the stages and ac-
quire the art and language, But there
was something wrong. She was will
ing to play the game, but did not care
about it with the right enthusiasm. l

eagerly; Il am, indeed. Only, OF
course, I'm not thoroughly up in the

But the caddie is the boy who car

He does. eh? Well, then, I'll join
the clubs, and buy me a putty"

1t will be a good day for the country
when there grows up an assumption
that the politician is naturally high
minded, though conditions may at
times cause him to act questionably,
and that, freed from those conditions,
his natural moral resiliency will cause
him to soar, observes the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Under
high moral public sentiment it is
easier for men to be good than to be
bad. In private life many man leaves
certain things undone, while commit
ting other greater sins because some
are what a gentleman would not do,
aud the others the sin of the gentle
man. Thus any advance in public or
political standard is hailed as a bene-
fit. no matter what it's immediate mo.
tive.

INDIANA AMERICAN.

facts ON his side when he claims that
many Indiana Republicans will in No
vember vote against Mr.. Mckinley ON
the paramount issue of Imperialism.
The passage of the ubiquitous Porto
Rican tariff bill under pressure from the
President caused by the influence of the
trusts TO be- benefited thereby is what
has caused this detection of Indiana
Republicans. The sentiment condemn
ing the unconstitutional tariff taxation
OF the Porto Ricans was led in Indiana
by ex- President Harrison. Ii is an hon
est and typical American sentiment.
1t is based ON answering loyalty TO the
American creed, which forbids taxation
without representation.
There is reason to believe that the Re-
publican campaign in Indiana will be a
half hearted campaign. Ii Is difficult,
even under the strongest party pressure,
for men to work soulfully for candi-
date whose policies and whose acts they
condemn. IL is peculiarly difficult for
consistent Americans, justly proud of
their Americanism, TO effectively sup

have impeached. II is doubtful if the

Ricans and against the American Con-
stitution, should find Indiana in the
