Burying the Dead.

thou shaltreturn." When Joseph
had taken the body of Jesus, he
wrapped it in clean linen
cloth and laid it in his own new
tomb. He did not dress it in a
street costume, gloved and dec
GRATED, as if for a ball room, as
undertakers are doing in this
day. He did not put on it
backless coat, a ruilied shirt
front, and Il frilled collar. He
simply wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth--a winding sheet
a sleeping garment. No ex-
pensive casket was used. Death
is a sleep-a long sleep of the
body, which returns to dust.
The spirit takes its flight, but
the body returns to dust, and is
not profted by wasteful extrav-
agance in its burial. The ex-
penditure Of large sums of
money, Il custom introduced and
maintained by updertakers, does
not have any effect upon the
corpse. 1t does not indicate
any more love for the departed
1t is simply species of vanity,
to impress the living, by a dis
play of fine silver handled
casket, a fine hearse, a grave
lined with cloth, and an elabo-
rately caparisoned span of
horses at the head of a fashion
able Cortcge. And the custom
of erecting expensive monu-
ments, introduced and exploited
by proprictors of marble-yards,
does the dead body no good.
Some people have an idea that
the more money you spend at a
funeral, the more you loved the
deceased. This idea was evil
IDENTIFY worked up by the under
takers and arti2anS whose ser
vices are utilized in the prep.
aration for funerals. The deep
est love is not the most demon
stratiVc; useless wastefulness
upon the grave of the dead is
not always an evidence of ex-
IRENE love Of the departed. But
money spent upon the living
poor shows L love of humanity.
When a body enters the grave
it is as dead as if it died a thou
sand years ago, and you cannot
help it. 1t is on a level with
the rich and poor, bond and
free, white and black. 1t is
dust only, The king with his
crown, the great warrior with
his sword, the beggar in his
rags are all dust, side by side,
and God alone can affect them.
No huge marble testimonial
over the grave can preserve the
body or coax back the spirit.

Mr.. GIadstone's Catch.

"How many members of this house."
asked Mr. Gladstone once in the course
of debate on electoral qualifications,
"can divide G1,330 It's. Cd. by &2 13s
Sd.?"
"Six hundred and fifty-eight!" shout
ed one member.
1.-THE thing cannot be done!" ex-
claimed another.
A roar of laughter greeted this last
remark. But it was true, nevertheless.
You cannot multiply or divide money
by money. You may repeat a smaller
sum of money as many times as it is
contained in a larger sum of money,
but that is very different thing. If
you repeat five shillings, as often as
there are hairs in horses tail, you do
not multiply five shillings by horses
tail Perhaps you did not know this
before Never mind; you need not be
ashamed of your ignorance, for it was
shared, as has been demonstrated, by
the entire house of commons Char one
member), including the then chancel-
lor of the MISREPRESENTATION Boy.

Work of the PIodders.

If we were to examine list of the
men who have left their mark on the
world, we should find that, as rule, it
is not composed of those who were
brilliant in youth, or who gave great
promise at the outset of their careers,
but rather of the plodding young men
who, if they have not dazzled by their
brilliancy, have had the power of a
days work in them, who could stay by
task until it was done; who have had
grit, persistence, common sense and
honesty, says Success.
1t is the steady exercise of these or
binary, homely virtues, united with
average ability, rather than a decep-
tive display of more snowy qualities in
youth, that enables a man to achieve
greatly and honorably. So, If we were
to attempt to make forecast of the
successful men Of the future, we should
not look for them among the ranks Of
the Smart boys" those who think

lines across 1t. Now 1t is marked off
into thirds. Let the first player draw
at the top Of the slip a head, using
only the upper third of the paper. This
head may be that of any imaginable or
unimaginable creature. If it's some.
thing mongrel and absurd, it's all the
funnier. The first player then folds
the paper down, so as to cover up
what he has drawn, but leaving the
neck extending just below the fold.
He then passes the slip on to the next
player, who in turn draws body on
the middle third of the paper, joining
it to the neck, and then folding the
paper, just so as to leave enough OF
the body showing to indicate where
the legs should join Oh. A third play
err then adds legs and feet to the
strange being, to suit his fancy. 1t
will add to the fun to have a fourth
player name the portrait. Finally, the
paper is unfolded. To say the least
the company will be surprised at the
queer composite. 1t may be that the
head and legs will disagree over the
direction the creature is supposed to
be fronting. Oftentimes one of the
members will be so out of proportion
with the rest as to make the whole
effect very ludicrous. The best way to
see the possibilities of the game is to
try It. You needn't be an artist to
make success of it, since the most
awkward hand will frequently produce
the most laughable results. The COM
binations may not always be so conf
cal, but out of half dozen trials there
are sure to be several roaring success
es. When there is quite a company
assembled, each may be given a piece
of paper and pencil; each draw a
head, fold the paper, pass to the next;
then each draw body, fold, pass;
then each draw legs, fold pass, and the
next name it. In this way all those
present will be occupied in the sport,
and the large variety of portraits will
increase the entertainment.

into the split the flattened end of a
second match, to form an acute angle.
Place the two matches on the sharp
edge of knife held horizontally in
such way that the heads of the
matches touch the surface of the table.
No matter how hard you try to hold
the knife steady, to everybody's sur
prise the matches will begin to move
up and down.
To render the experiment more ef-
fective, crack the matches in the mid

New Works. Nickname.

Il has repeatedly occurred that a
name applied In derision to persons
has eventually been adopted and con-
sidered with pride. Gotham, New
York's alias, was originally siven IN
derision, because, doubtless. OF some
foolish whims of New Workers. The
name was taken from the Merry Tales
of the Madmen Of Gotham, satirical
stories written by Adam Borde, Car
thaginian monk, who died In the
tower of London. The name has been
accepted by New Workers.

Where work was Away found.
She cured the babies of the Group;
In measles she arose.
The sleepless watcher of the night
While others found repose.
She made the dresses for the brides
Who went from out the door;
For them she robbed the flowerbeds
or all their precious store.
All! years ago she came to eartn
When breezes all attune
Went merrily a-down the path
OF fragrant ways of June.
They called her June" she was 30

And crowned her golden head.
They named her June in days agone.
The month when brides are wed.
Beside the stream whose waters cool
Sung peacefully of rest,
This patient little spinster walked
Alone and unmolest.
Now lilies nod and daisies bend
To kiss the grave of this
Old fashioned spinster who has founu
More love than earthly bliss
There children tread the gravel path
When breezes are attune,
And whisper soft as zephys are:
