Traits of Siamese Cats,

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Siamese cats, with their curious markings
and loud. discordant voices are now favor
ties with fashionable women in England In
many respects the animals Of Siamese breed
are unique among cats. They follow their
owners as dog would; they are exceeding
ly affectionate and insist upon being nursed,
and they meow loudly and constantly, as If
trying to talk. and to deaf person at that.
They have more vivacity than usually
falls to the lot Of cats and less dignity In
color they vary from pale fawn through
shades Of brown to chocolate. There are two
varieties, the temple cats and the palace
cats. about the only difference between the
two varieties being that the palace breed
Is darker in color.
The only sacred temple cats that ever left
the land Of their birth were given to Dr.
Nightingale as a mark of special favor by
the King Of Siam. They were named by
their new owner Romeo and Juliet, and are
now the property Of Lord Marcus Beres-
ford. They are very expensive, moderate
specimens selling for $50 and finely marked
ones bringing from S75 to $500.
Now that many ladies of rank In England
have catteries, the price of high-bred cats
Is constantly increasing. Champion Lord
Southampton, white Persian, owned by
Mrs. Greenwood. was sold for $3.50, and $3.50
was refused for Zaida, a former cat show
champion.

roofs. They are about two feet long, one
foot deep and one foot broad and have an
oval or heart-shaped opening at one end,
surmounted by cross. The opening IS
fitted with glass so that a portion OF the
skull Is visible and appears to scowl at the
curious spectator. The boxes are arranged
on lodges and cornices of the altars in the
coping Of the church yard walls. 1t Is a
great and costly privilege to have these
coff1ns find so sacred resting-place.
The mourning urn Is a feature Of Swiss
funerals. When the death notice is pub
lished, there is appended to 1t plea for
sympathy which states that the mourning
urn Will be on exhibition at q given hour
on a certain day. A black table covered
with a black cloth upon which rests q
black urn is set forth in front OF the af-
ficted house. Into this the friends of the
mourning family drop their black bordered
visiting cards, the intimate friends inscrib-
Ing few words OF sympathy. Only men
ever go to the churchyard, and they must
make the journey on foot, no matter what
the distance.
In Other Lands.
The modern Egyptians carry their dead
in collins to the cemetery, but inter the
body without the coffin, wrapped in volum-
inous folds of cloth. Only the men Of the
family and hired women. walters" go 20
the grave. In Italy there is a society
which furnishes very spectacular funerals
Culeily u lHe pOOTeT CLASSES. lHe COihlf SAti
elaborate affair, is borne aloft on a sort OF
dais f1anked by mysterious masked figures
in long white gowns and followed by priests
and mourners bearing cryptic insignia.
There is no body in the coffin, however,
the central figure of the funeral having
been buried probably several hours pre-
viously. All the pomp and ceremany are
by way of doing the right thing" by the
deceased and satisfying tfs mourning souls
Of the bereaved.
In the wtlds of Alaska a strange burial
custom fourishes. When a medicine man
of an Indian tribe dies, hs is buried on a
lonely hillside far away from human habi-
tation and a wooden statue of his totem
set up over him. His spirit is supposed to
remain about the place and Indians suf-
fering from desperate illness or wounds
none other would dare so far-vistt the spot
and appeal to the totem for aid.

MUSICAL MENTION.

Washington's best musical audiences have
not yet learned that 1t is no longer good
form at concerts to begin applause until the
accompaniment to singer or solo player is
entirely ended. A conspicuous example OF
this was at the first Pittsburg orchestra
concert. When Madame Schumann-Heink
finished the beautiful Schubert song Die
Allmacht," the applause quite drowned the
concluding bars of the orchestral accom-
paniment. The applause was deserved. but
the composer wrote the ending because he
thought It a fitting close to the musical
thought expressed in the song, and surely he
had right to be heard. The same thing
happened after Mr.. Towne'S fine solo in
Hora Novissima, Tuesday night, at the
Choral Societys concert. Here the mem
bers of the society were the chief offenders,
for they began the applause and deprived
the audience of hearing the really fine con-
clusion which the composer thought tit to
write,
Few people who attended the concert OF
the Choral Society on Tuesday realized that
the conductor, Professor Parker was in
severe physical pain during the entire con-
cert. He caught cold on the train coming
here Sunday night, and an abscess developed
in the inner ear, which was lanced in the ar-
ternoon. He stopped at the physicians going
TO the concert and again on returning for
treatment. His condition was much i'm
proved on leaving Wednesday morning.
The Choral Society feels much relieved at
its successful performance of Hora Novis-
sima. 1t Is no longer necessary to keep 1t
a secret that not only Prof. Parker, but
the members of the society, were very much
troubled by the condition of progress in the
work on the 11th of February, when the
composer came down to conduct a re-
hearsal for the first time. The fact Is that
the two other concerts of the society had
not permitted time enough to be given to
this But the energy of Mr.. kaspar, the
society's conductor, produced wonders. The
sociey held four rehearsals between the
composers two visits on the 11th and 25th,
and he was astonished to find the excellent
condition of the chorus on the latter date.
