forth musical sounds which have been
distinctly heard by human ears, while
NJ human hands were seen to touch
the instrument.
The first time that the sounds came
from the violin was during the week
following Mr.. Schiffcrl's death. and
the instrument was then hanging in
what formerly was the workshop, 42i
N!Collet avenue. There were several
other vlolins hanging at either sido OF
it, but Mrs. Schifferl, who was the only

ant that they came from this particu.

that she must have been dreaming. or
that she imagined that she heard the
sounds. Others said that current OF
air might have caused the strings ia
give forth the notes which Mrs. Schif

After time the violin went into the

FLOWERS FOR FUNERALS

pieces they are sometimes all arrang.
ed in an open carriage, making a dis
play that never fails to attract atten
tion
From this conspicuous display OF
flowers, which is one most likely to be
seen at the funeral of person of for
eign 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 flowers
carried or only such as can be laid
upon the coffin or carried within the
hearse.
in some cases, where there are
many large flower pieces, they are car.

would not stand under the top closed.
But the more common practice when
the flowers are so many as to require
separate vehicle for their transpor.
thtion is to carry them in a closed
carriage, with no display at all. In
many cases the flowers can all be
placed in the hearse; but nowadays
often when there are many flowers
there are carried to the cemetery only
such beautiful or appropriate pieces
as can actually be laid upon the coffin
itself.
1T used to be that all the flowers re.

of attacking each other. This mark
of confidence. however, did not prove
sufficient in all cases. for a man may
