made with parts all around the sides
and ends that slope up and inward

of heavy chestnut or some wood of a
similar character, and is finished in

has simple and plain but heavy brass
mountings, hinges and lock and

The effect is of something ancient,

a modern Italian coffin of current de-
sign, made in Florence. A coffin of
this character, which represents the
best Italian type, sells for the equiya-

FLOWERS AT FUNERALS.
They Are Not So Much In Use -
Formerly-Disposit Now
Made of Them.

"The open barouche filled with
flowers sometimes seen preceding the
hearse at the head of funeral pro-
cession," said an undertaken, accord
ing to the New York Sun, contains
flower pieces too big TO be put in the
hearse, some of which, at least, are
too big 10 stand up in a closed car
riage. So where there are many
large pieces they are sometimes all
arranged in an open carriage, maxi
ing a display that never fails to at
tract attention.
From this conspicuous display of
flowers, which is one most likely to
be seen at the funeral of a person of
foreign birth or descent, the practice
changes down TO no display at all, as
in the case of the far more numerous
funerals at which there are no flow
ers carried or only such as can he
laid upon the coffin or carried within
the hearse.
''In some cases. where there are
many large flower pieces, they are
carried in n carriage with the top
half open to give room for things
that would not stand under the top
closed. But the more common prae-
tice when the flowers are SO many
as to require a separate vehicle for
their transportation is to carry them
in a closed carriage, with no display
at all. In many cases the flowers can
be placed in the hearse; but nowadays
often when there are many flowers
there are carried to- the cemetery

pieces as can actually be laid upon

Cambridge, the late Queen Victoria

Lord Wolseley became necessary, she

at least her son could succeed Lord
Wolseley. But Lord Roberts capture

That was a bitter experience to a
