Picked 0ut His Own Coffin.

"A man entered 10y sales room
some time ago" recalled a St. Joseph
(Mo.) undertaken in q recent chat with
local interviewer, "and said that he
wanted to select q casket and shroud. I
asked what sized casket he wanted.
and he answered: swell, you can
measure me, if you want; want she
easket for myself I Was taken by
surprise, and he noticed it, but he OPP
peared to think that there was nothing
unusual in his request. Il am SIX feet
tall, he said. Without further delay
I began &c show him our different CAS-
kets. He was very particular about
it-they all are-and Il took him about
an hour to choose what be wanted.
He then selected shroud and other
necessities and gave an order for four
carriages. When we were through he
asked the price and told him $l5U.
DE paid over the cash and gave him
receipt for his own funeral. The
man was apparently strong and robust
at the time. Six weeks later 1 re-
ceived telephone message from one
OF the hospitals in this city announ-
cling that my customer had died and
that he had given Instructions to have
me called. The details Of the funeral
were carried out just as he had plan
ned them.

How the Heat Kills in New York City.

1t is difficult, almost impossible, in
deed, for one who has never actually
experienced it, to conceive the su-
preme distress Of hot spell in New
York-mental as we'll as physical,
The great town is, on the whole,
like fat, sun. baked island, crossed
and recrossed by numberiess deep,
steep sided ditches-the streets.
In these bitches no breeze can or
ever does stir. Indeed, the air which
fills them is 80 heavy and moist and
inert, that tim poisonous breathings Of
the painting thousands in the ditches
hang close to The bottom and sides, as
smoke clings to the earth on a rainy
day, and the fresh light air above,
with it's life giving oxygen, cannot de-
scend to relieve the suffering caused
by it's lack.

heat is given out.
III addition to the physical distress
which is thus caused, there is also

which is perhaps eve worse. The

as the day-that the afternoon, the

These terrible seasons fortunately
do not last long at time-two or
three days or a week. Else all would
perish. Just about the time that the

How the C0w.Punchers Soothe Their
Restless Animal Charges.

"There is an i.descr;hsbie ssSse of
strangeness about the great plains at
night" said visitor from Texas,
chatting in tho lobby Of his hotel.
"When man rides over them alone
the very vastness Of the landscape will
awe him TO the heart, and his nerves
will gradually get on such tension,
without his knowing it, that the yelp
of the coyote or the howl of the wolf
mile away will make him jump near
ly out of his saddle. That is espeei-
ally true Of nights when there is just
slice Of moon in the sky-not enough
to render things distinct, but enough
to fill the whole plain with vague
mysterious shapes that you seem to
distinguish ct ore moment and lose
the next. I shall never forget an ex-
perience had under such conditions
when [ FIRST went into the cattle coun-
try. I was visiting ranchman in
middle Texas, and one day went out
with some of the cowboys to remote
camp. The night proved so beautiful,
although there was very little moon,
that decided to take fresh horse
and ride back. AS might have been
expected 1 lost my bearings, and after
wandering around for several hours
came to standstill near line Of low,
rolling foothills I couldn't remember
ever having seen before. The weird
half-light gave everything an air Of
mystery the prairie was alive with
strange, shifting shadows, and was
staring into space, falling more and
more under the spell Of the place and
hour, when was almost startled out
of my wits by the sound Of o familiar
hymn:
Nearer, my God, to Theet Near
or to Theer
"The words were perfectly distinct,
sung in q deep, powerful barytone.
but could not for the life Of me tell
from where they came, and before I
recovered from my first shock the
chorus was taken up in what seemed
to be every point Of the compass:
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Ne-e-arer to Thee |!
1t sounds foolish to tell, but my
hair bristled on my head, and the
wonder is didn't fall of my horse.
Lnckily at that moment cowboy
came riding around the shoulder of
the nearest hill, and in moment the
unearthly chorus was made plain. He
and his companions had big bunch
Of cattle in sort of natural corral at
the other side Of the rise and were
simply singing to keep the restless
steers quiet. 1t is an old trick on the
range, and have heard it done o
thousand times since, but never amid
such impressive surroundings. The
cowboys put me on the right trail,
and l was soon at the ranch house,
but my nerves were shaken for week.
1t is strange that singing will quiet
cattle, but it does it almost every
time. They tell me it is one of the
mainstays Of the stock boats, where
without it the poor brutes would get
in panic at the first roll" ."-Me,o

Forty-two English citizens during
the last ten years have changed their
surnames, because they were the same
as those of famous villains in we'll
known books and plays. For this
privilege they paid the country G420.
Dickens is responsible for over a third
of the name changes, and, among 9TH
ers, seven Quilps have sued for new
name during the past six years alone.
Quilp in "The Old Curiosity Shop" was
such detestable villain that victims
Of the same name said it did them and
their business harm. Uriah Heep, the
cringing rogue Of David Copperfield,"
is responsible for five people of that
name seeking new cognomens. An
other name that has been changed by
seven different families is "Legree,"
spelled in several different ways, the
name Of the scoundrelly painter in

The anecdote which follows must
undoubtedly be accepted as both au-
thentic and official since it is contain
ed in report to the state department
by an American consul. One Of the
duties of consul is to discover, If he
can, and make known to his country
men all openings for profitable bust
ness in the district within which his
Jurisdiction lies. Accordingly, We are
told how the Germans at Aix-la-Cha-
pelle received an American circus. The
magnitude and character Of the bill
posting and the rapid erection OF the
huge tents filled them with astonish-
ment. On the day of the circus not a
workman went to the factories, and
spindles lay in astonished idleness.
The tents were crowded at each per-
Torrance. Vague antipathies against
the United States were changed to re-
spect and awe, any farther achieve
ment being deemed possible for Ameri-
sans. That commerce follows the flag
is trite assertion. The Aix-la-Cha-
pelle consul seems to add, especially
when the flag waves above an Ameri-
can circus!"

VAN DERBILT FRENCH WEDDING

u Vast Tlrong

Newport, r. l., Jan. 15.-Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt and Miss Elsie
French were married at Seabriskie
Memorial church in the evening. The
church was crowded.
One Of Alfred Vanderbilt's gifts to
his bride is long string Of magni =
cent pearls, evenly matched, and of
very good size. He also gave
her very handsome victoria, a full
set of harness and magnificent car
riage rug of sable. Several of the most
important presents have already been
mentioned
Miss French's wedding gown was
remarkable for it's masn.n.ence and
simplicity The entire costume is of
rich ivory white satin. The skirt, with
the train three yards lono. is a model
of graceful and symmetric Il lines. It's
effect is to make the bride appear much
taller than she really is. The entire
front of the gown, from the mex to
the feet, is piece of round pint lace,
a gift free the brides uncle, Edward
Tuck, in Paris. The corsage is made
extremely high and with a very tall
collar Of lace. has long, close fitting
sleeves of satin. finished with deep
cuffs of the same lace. The bottom of
the skirt is trimmed with tulle and
sprays of orange blossoms.
The veil is Of Brussels point, the
same which was worn by the brides
sister, Mrs. Eaton, at her wedding in
England some eight years ago. 1t COW
cred the gown entirely and extended to
the end of the train. She did not cover
the face, but was fastened on the hair
and held back with sevt al sprays of
orange blossoms. The brides only
ornament was a crescent of diamonds
and pearls. She carried a white ivory
covered Drayer hook

When the usual committee repre-
senting the two houses called on Pres
ident Mckinley on the day they as
sembled, it is said the president cor
daily remarked that he was glad to
see them and glad that congress was
again in session. This is a pleasanter
attitude than that of dread with which
many people regard the assembling OF
the national legislature. When great
national political conflicts are taking
place there is sometimes reasons for
apprehension. At the present time
there is need of constructive legisla-
ton, and we ought rather to be sorry
that congress has but three months in
which to accomplish it than to regret
that it has met to undertake the task.

RALF A DOZEN TREATIES
That Will Not Be Acted Upon
Soon.
ARE HELD FOR SIGNATURE.
Reason Why They Are Not Rushed
Through - Modification of the War
Revenue Bill Is Contemplated for
Benefit of Business Interssts.

Washington, Jan. 15.-It has been
determined practically that no action
will be taken at this session OF Con-
gress on the various reciprocity treat
les negotiated under the Dingley tariff
act. There are half dozen Of these
treaties now awaiting ratification by
the Senate, and several more are at
the State department ready for sig
nature. Reciprocity conventions are
ready for final confirmation by the
Senate with France, Jamaica, Santa
Cruz, British Guiana, Ecuador, and
the Barbados. No definite progress
has been made with the treaty be-
tween this country and Germany. The
treaties completed with other powers
are held for signature because the
futility Of their preparation at this
time is apparent, and it is considered
useless to send them to the Senate I'M
til those already there have been rati-
fled. Senator Aldrich, chairman Of the
Finance committee, is credited with
being responsible for the delay in the
Senate. 1t Is necessary for Congress,
when a reciprocity treaty has made
notifications in the tariff laws, to en-
act legislation making regulations for
conformity. A large number Of such
special notifications, Mr.. Aldrich be-
lieves, will embarrass the tariff, as
now arranged, and makes it's enforce
ment cumbersome and difficult, besides
effecting material reduction in re-
ceipts. Any considerable falling off in
receipts because Of reciprocity arrange
ments would be serious at this time,
as modification of the war revenue
bill Is contemplated Or the benefit OF
business interests in the United States.
This is considered Of more Importance
than showing special favors to GER
tain foreign countries. The French
reciprocity treaty has been antagon-
lied vigorously by the Pacific coast
wine and fruit interests, and thus fur
nishes another excuse for the indefinite
deferment Of its ratification.
