Regulations that Were Once in Vogue

Diving into the old records of one of
the most charming cities of our COM
monwealth, Northampton, we find
much of deep interest as revealing Gus
toms and habits Of olden times. No fire
was found in the meeting house" in
olden time, and comparatively recently
foot stoves were carried to church, as
were tallOw candles to the evening
meetings. In 1887 the important vital
question at a legal town meeting was,

Not only the living had special rules
governing their conduct, but the rules
about the dead were very quaint, as by
this report OF a committee, May IL,
1880, to whom had been referred the
conduct oHfunerals, as follows:
Whereas, 1t Is the opinion of this
town that funerals ought to be con-
Quoted with great decency and decorum
in order to impress on rising and risen
generations the Importance of the
awful solemnity, and to render the
house of mourning better than the
house of feasting. BE 1t therefore rec
commended to all the inhabitants Of this
town to observe the following regula-
lions at funerals:
1. That the relatives of the deceased
follow next the corpse, two and two.
2. If the deceased was a male per-
son the males are to follow next the
mourners, two and two, and the wom-
en- after them, two and two; but if the
deceased was a woman, then the wom-
en- are to follow next the mOurners and
the men after them.
3. Those on horseback are to follow
in after the foot folks, hores two and
two and the carriages are to follow in
the rear of the procession. And it is
requested that no person walk or ride
on either side the procession from the
house to the grave.
Ten of the prominent men of the city
were appointed and requested to attend
at funerals and to regulate the process
sion thus recommended until the same
shall become habitual to the people In
1T45 the question was raised in the an
nual town meeting "if the town would
be at the expense of cOloring the meet
Ing house, and it passed in the mega
tivew Evidently they thought that
nature would do it without expense.
Not till 1749 were the forts and FORTH
cations of the town demolished and the
timber and boards sold for the benefit
Of the town. Laws were passed rela-
tive to the schooling of boys and the
amount of wood they should bring to
the schoolhouse; girls were of no ac-
count in those days.

GREAT eRITAlN's ELECTORATE.
1t Has Increased Nearly Sevenfold
During VictOria's Reign

1t Has Increased Nearly Sevenfold
During Victoria's Reign
When the queen came to the throne
there were less than a million electors
out of a population of more than TWEEN
ty-five millions. That is as much to
say that only IA in every 100 adult
males were possessed of the franchise.
And yet five years had passed since the
great reform bill had been placed upon
the statute book after an epOch-maK-
ing battle. To-day nearly 40 per cent
of the adult males in the United King
dom possess the franchise. The in
crease in population, added to the in
crease in the percentage of representa-
ton, has, however, given us an electo-
rate of about six and three-quarter
millions.
1t Is as well to note that during this
extraordinary development of the cleo
torate the elected representatives of
the people have scarcely increased in
number by a score. In 1901, at the
union of the British and Irish parlia-
ments, there were 65S members of the
House of Commons. acknowledgements
and suspensions of writs reduced the
number in actual practice to GAO, round
about which figure it remained till Mr..
Gladstone in 1885 raised it to go, the
present total of the house.
1t is quite probable, therefore, that.
should the much-discussed manhood
suffrage ever come into operation in
this country, 1t will not add single
member to the distinguished gathering
at st. Stephens. Nor, as a matter of
fact, will it add to the electorate itself
as a large proportion as has been added
in the last thirty-threc years. For in
that time 30 per cent has been added
to the rate of adult male representa-
ton. A mere 30 per cent more would
give every man over 21 a vOte-if he
cared to use it.-London Express.

Queer Things It Can Do.
ITO give you some idea of what sort
of river the Rio Grande is, I'll tell an
experience l had in getting across 1t
with a derrick" said mining man
from New Mexico. IF after that you
don't agree with me that it is a freak
sh river you're easy to suit. l was a
contractor in rock work in those days,
and was taking my derrick from the
east side of the river to the Magdalenas,
where l had contract to sink mine
shaft. The derrick was on four wagon
wheels. and four mules were hauling it,
had my two helpers along, and one of
them, a man named Mccartney, drove
the mules. He was an Old-timer, which
was lucky, for / was new to the coun-
try, and If | had trusted to my own
judgment l might have made a mistake
that would have cost me my mules and
derrick, if not my life.
I'VE came to the Rio Grande an hour
before shutdown, and l saw wide
river he'd, but no water, only dry sand
from one bank to the other. That was
a new kind of river to me. but Mozart

of staying there a week or two; that
water sometimes came down the chan

well to get across while we were sure
we could.
I'VE started across over the dry
sands, and l was thinking what an easy
way it was of fOrding a river when of
a sudden the two lead mules were houn-
dering in a quicksand and the whole
outfit came near being drawn in. We
got the two leaders clear of the harness
and then the other two mules drew
them out, one at a time. We hitched
them up again, and by making a long
circuit got past the quicksand and 10
the other bank. BY that time it was 10
o'clock and the moon had just risen.
The mules had just begun to climb the
bank, when we heard a roaring noise
up the channel. 1t came from wall
of water that stretched from bank TO
bank, and was travelling toward us
fast. 1t looked in the moonlight to be
four feet high. and there was higher
water behind sending it on. We didn't
need to boiler to the mules. They heard
what was coming and clawed up the
bank like cats. We got out all right

three minutes to spare. Before we had
finished our supper the river bed was
full, bank high. with current that

Finger Nails and Gentility.

In China long finger nails are mark
of gentiiity. They are an indication
that their possessor is a man of leisure.
When they are excessively long. ap-
preaching the dignity of talons, as they
sometimes do, they indicate that the
gentleman-Or lady-attached to them
has passed the mere gentility line. and
has become a full-fedged aristOcrat. In
AMMAN, where the finger-nail habit has
persisted for hundreds and perhaps
thousands of years. these signs-manual
of extreme gentility sometimes attain
by careful cultivation the length of six
or eight inches. and instances are on
record where length of sixteen and
even eighteen inches has been attained
This custom prevails generally
throughout what is known as Indo-
China. which includes Siam. Burmah.
Cambodia. Laos, and the Shan states.

Lord Rayleigh. in discussing our abil-
ity to tell the direction from which
sound proceeds, calls attention to an in
teresting difference between the eyes

Prof John Trowbrldge has recently
had installed at Harvard University the
most powerful apparatus in the world
for the production of electro-motive
force. The plant comprises 10000 stor-
age cells giving 10000 electrical units
Of pressure. and this can be increased
to 100000 volts. But in order to OBJ
tain the full effect of so enormous a
pressure, Professor Trowbrldge says 1t
would be necessary to remove the APP
paratus into the center Of an open field
and elevate it at least thirty feet from
the ground in order to avoid loss from
the inductive action of floors and walls.
With this great battery the highest de-
gree of instantaneous temperature yet
attained can be produced. Professor
Trowbrldge hopes with its aid to OBJ
tain some clew to the temperature at
which hydrogen exists in the stars.
This plant furnishes. he adds, an ideal
method of producing the X-rays.
