In the early part of the century the
query, who buys an American book?"
expressed English appreciation of Am
erican literature before Longfellow,
Bryant, Emerson, Lowell, Hawthorne,
and others won hearing and recogni-
ton abroad. Until very recently a sim
liar query might almost be made as
to American art-"Who buys an Amer
lean picture?" Recent auctions in New
York snow that not only are there per-
sons who buy American pictures. but
they pay good prices for them. 1t is
said that not less than 100000 has
been paid within the last twelve
months for pictures by American ar
lists at public and private sales.

Queen Victoria went to London on
the Sth of March for a few days stay
at Buckingham Palace, and her ar
rival was made the occasion Of popu-
lar demonstration of welcome and re-
ioicing. Moved perhaps by the spec
ial bravery shown by the Irish regi-
ments in South Africa, the Queen gave
directions that the shamrock should be
worn by the Irish regiments on st.
Patrick's day; and she has announced
her purpose to make a visit to Ireland,
for the first time since 1861.

The Texas antitrust law, which is
generally recognized as one of the
most stringent of its kind, has been
sustained by the Supreme court of the
United States, in the case of the Wa
ters-Pierce Oil company. This COM
pany, which is alleged to be member
of the Standard Oil trust, was charged
with violating the Texas laws against
the restraint of trade. The court held
that the company in question, which
was organized outside of Texas, ac-
cepted the restrictive laws of that state
as conditions of the permit by which it
was admitted to do business, and was
therefore bound by them.

Plant Flowers.


Brooklyn has no grander glory than
its Greenwood. nor Boston than it's
Mount Auburn, nor Philadelphia than
its Laurel Hill, nor Cincinnati than its
Spring Grove, nor San Francisco than
its Lone Mountain. But what shall we
say to those country graveyards, with
the vines broken down and the slab
aslant and the mound caved in and
the grass a pasture ground for the
sections cattle? Indeed, were your
father and mother of so little worth
that you cannot afford to take care Of
their ashes? Some day turn out all
hands and straighten the slab and
bank up the mound and cut away the
weeds, and plant the shrubs and dow-
ers.
Some day you will want to lie down
to your last slumber. You can not ex
pect any respect for your bones if you
have no Difference for the bones of
your ancestry. Do you think these rel
les are of no Importance? You will
see of how much Importance they are
in the day when the archangel takes
out his trumpet. Turn all your ceme-
teries into gardens.
Again, standing in this garden of the
new sepulcher, l am impressed with
the dignity of private and unpretend-
ing obsequies.
Joseph was mourner, sexton, livery
man-had entire charge of everything.
Only four people at the burial of the
King of the Universe! Oh, let this be
consolatory to those who throughlac
of means or through lack of large ac-
quaintance have but little demonstra-
ton of grief at the graves of their
loved ones. Long line of glittering
equipage, two rows of silver handles,
casket of richest wood, pallbearers
gloved and scarfed are not necessary.
If there be six at the grave, Christ
looks down from heaven and remem-
bers that is two more than were at his
obsequies.
Not recognizing this idea, how many
small properties are scattered and wild
owhood and orphanage go forth into
cold charity The departed left a small
property, which would have been
enough to keep the family together I'M
til they could take care Of themselves,
but the funeral expenses absorbed ev-
erything. That went for Grape which
ought to have gone for bread A man
of moderate means can hardly afford
to die in any of our great cities. By
all means, do honor to departed, but do
not consider funeral pageant as neces-
sary. No one was ever more loving
ly and tenderly put away to sepulcher
than Christ our Lord. but there were
only four people in the procession.
