There ara many people In Milwau'
kee==mostly Germans--who are Stree
thinkers" and belong to no religious
organization. Many of these are
members OF the Turner societies, and
funerals in their families are conduct
ed by the Turner's. Others do rot be-
long to any society. and when a death
occurs in the family a professional
funeral orator Ia usually called In to
conduct tho services. The funeral
orators success and the love for dis,
play when beloved relative Is laid
away doubtless suggested the organs
zation of the Pallbearers' association.
and it is believed that 1t will be finan.
cially successful.
An undertaken whose place of busi'
ness Is in the crowded tenement
house district said that a similar as.
sociation would probably receive good
support in New York. In the Italian
district elaborate funerals take place
daily. Parents may neglect child
while it is in good health, but when
the little one dies there must be
plumes on the hearse, the coffin must
be OF an expensive kind, and band
of music must prccede the funeral
procession to the church, where there
is more show, and from the church
at least TO the limits of the Italian
district. The uniformed pallbearers
would probably find patronage In that
part of the city.
In many places in Europe there are
business concerns which furnish not
only uniformed mourners and pail
bearers, but funeral trappings for
the horses in the funeral procession.
The uniformed pallbearer is the first
step in that direction, and il he sue

EVERY MAN his OWN PROPHET
to Mako Gassses About the
weather.

Willis L. Moore, chiet Of the United
States weather bureau, has published
On almanac for the guidance of the
public. entitled IAN Almanac and
Weather Guide" Mr.. Moore declares
that anyone. by studying weather
maps and getting the hang" of
them, can predict the weather for
himself. He says:
"If the student Of the weather map
will pay close attention to it day by
Jay he will see that the highs and
the slows" move across the country
from the west TO the east in almost
regular succession. If the high be a
decided one it will cover territory
1000 or 1900 miles in width, the
weather within its influence will be
cold and clear and the winds will have
general tendency spirally outward
from the center. The low is the op-
nosite to the high in almost all of its
characteristics. 1t 10 usually attend
ed by clouds, rain or snow and high
winds. The winds within the influ-
ence Of low blow spirally inward.
The lower the barometer and the
sleeper the gradient the more rapid
is the whirl Of the Aorm eddy.
Storms of like class take nearly the
same course and produce nearly the
same results; but they do not always
move with the same rapidity. No ex-
act rule in regard to them can be laid

In Wearing Black,

Black is becoming to most women,
IL attention is paid to the material
rs well as the color. When complaint
is made about the unbecomingness Of
black, not alone to dark women, but
to fair ones. as well, il is advisab Bile to
take into consideration the material
employed for costume or waist. A
dull black-such as serge, cloth, nuns
yelling, g.ace silk or crepe de chine
may prove very trying to brunette;
but substitute satin.faced cloth, new
silk or satin, broche silk or rich vel
vet, and a very different effect will be
obtained. a blonde may wear soft,
duh blacks with success, but dark
women must forego them, unless pos,
sessed of the fair compile xion of a
blonde. Shades of hcliotrope and
mauve. usually unbeooming to a bru-
nette, may DO worn In velvet and
satin, relieved with lace. Chine silks,
with lowered patterns, too, will suit
brunette and blonde Admirably

A Russian Translator Of Dickens

Inc qulZZlcally expanded metaphors
and idiomatic, slangy expressions in
the sprightly comical parts of the book

chickering's with his better half form
the theme of our inimitable humorist's
sportive and allegorical muse. "Often.
when Mr.. Chick seemed beaten, he
would suddenly make start, turn the
tables, clatter them about the ears of
Mrs. Chick, and carry all before him."
The Russian rendering of this sem
tence, which l translated verDatim,
runs: "Often, when Mr.. Chick seemed
beaten, he would start up from his seat.
catch hold of the chair, make clatter
close to the ears of his astonished
spouse, and fling about everything that
came ready to hand" Well, indeed,
might the elegant and ladylike Louisa
show astonishment at such emphatic
contributions to the dehate.-Notesa and
