GENEALOGICAL ENTHUSIASTS.
westerners Have Caught the Crase of Tracing UD Their Ancestors
 What Figures Show.

"I have found," said an authority on American genealogy, "that the craze for tracing up ancestors is much stronger in the newer than the older portions of our country.
 "I have more patrons by far in Texas than in Massachusetts, and the sum total of the money I make out of Denver people far exceeds the re- turns get from that modern center lof ancestor worship-Philadelph
 "In a recent mail I had some 50 letters from various parts of the coun- try. Ten were from Texas, four from Missouri, seven had Illinois addresses, Idaho furnished three, California eight; Kansas, six; Ohio, five, and the rest came from New York, New Ramp- shore and South Carolina. And this despite the fact that I am an eastern CT, and have made extra attempts to get eastern business.
 "All this would seem to be proof pos- five that the westerner, all these years that he has been shying stones at his brother in the east for his SUD- posed pride in his granddaddies, has been keeping up & secret worship at the same shrine, But, on the other hand, it may be that every easterner now has his ancestry all traced out. and, therefore, is no longer fish for the genealogist's net.

SUPERsTITIONS OF INDIA.
Wednesday Is Regarded as an Unfor tunate Day by the MOham-
 medans.

Mohammedans of India are very SUI. perstitious, according to the Montreal Herald. No Mohammedan will take a bath on Sunday or Tuesday. But if one bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that are fin store for him till the next Wednesday will be avert ed. As rule, all Mohammedans bathe on Fridays before going to perform the Jumma prayers.
 For donning new clothes, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If anyone dons new dress or puts on a new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of new cloth on these days, he will live a miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If 8 shirt is torn and af the wearer wants to stitch it, 1t must be taken off, for if it is stitched while 1t is on the body the person will soon die. A Mohammedan will never allow barber to come near him on Tuea- days, for Tuesday and also Saturdays

SNAPS DEATH TRIBUTES.
Chicago Photographers Makes spe- cialty of Taking Pictures of
 Floral Offerings at Funerals.

A Swedish photographer has an un-
 usual business at a place in North
 Clark street, near the entrance to the
 Lutheran and Graceland cemeteries,
 says the Chicago Tribune. This man
 makes a living by picturing the dow-
 CTS that are left on newly-made graves.
 No sooner has the funeral cortege
 moved away than he appears and sets up great camera which seems to have
 been made for this particular purpose.
 When the grave has been filled up the 1 flowers are banked on the mound, and an excellent negative Is made of the showing.
 It is claimed that this practice is
 growing. Mourners like to have some thing to show the floral offerings that
 were made at the offtaking of mem
 Der of the family. Sometimes the or
 der is made while the family is yet at l the grave, but on most occasions the
 order is given by some member Of the
 family in advance of the funeral, or l by the undertaken. The services of the man are fre- uuently sought at the house where the
 remains lie and where the flowers are l banked up around the casket. Other pictures are made of the flow
 ers as they are loaded into a car riage and are being hauled to the cem-
 etery, and still other floral offerings
 are brought to the gallery, where the collection is placed on table and photographed.
 All classes of people want to have 1 funeral flowers photographed. The
 pictures cost from seven to ten dollars

The Common Sch oOls.

The report of the commissioner of cd ucation places the total number of pu- pills enrolled in the common schools at 15,925 ,887, or over 20 per cent of the entire population. The average daily attendance for 1902 was 10, 999 ,273, or 69 per cent. of the total number enrolled
 Less than 28 per cent. of the teachers were males, or 122 1892 out of a total of 439, ,596. The private schools are tab ulated at 1,103 ,901 for the elementary schools and 168636 for academic and other secondary schools. The grand total enrollm0at for the year, including public and private, elementary, second ary and higher educational evening schools, business schools, private kin dergartens, Indian schools, state schools for orphans and others, is 18,080,840.

Live on Little Money.

"One-half of the world knoweth not how the other.half liveth." The popula- ton of India is almost 300,000,000. A careful estimate by Sir Robert Giffen puts the aggregate annual income of all the people at G468,0 100000. That would make their average earnings $780 year, or two and one-seventh cents a day. Another authority, a writer who presents reasons for his opinion that Sir Roberts estimate is too high, puts the gross income of the people of India at e290, 100000, which works out at one cent and one-third a day. It should be borne in mind that the population of India is agricultural, and the people live for the most part on the produce of their soil, and that their need of clothing and fuel is small. Wis., itors to the country do not find that they are in abject poverty.

THE LONELY GREAT CITY,
London Guilds Offer Social Advan- tages to Strangers-InstIfutio
 Churches in New York.

The loneliest place imaginable for young persons who are strangers to 1t is a great city, where thousands pass unheeding and no familiar face is seen among them. London has seen of late an effort to remedy this in g. Guild of Social Intercourse, which extends a friendly hand to educated men and women who lead lives of more or less dreary isolation for want of acquaint- ances.
 Tn number of districts throughout London and the suburbs branches have been formed where members of the guild invite any who desire social intercourse to musical evenings, ten his parties, excursions, games and conversation. The guild is non-sec- tartan, and membership is open to men and women over IT years at nom- inal fee
 No such institution exists in New York The churches, says the New York World, are not here, as rule, such a road to quick acquaintance as in smaller places. This fact may part ly explain the amazing growth of the so-called institutional churches, ' where young people have chance to become acauaiatsd in clubs and in church work.

PURCHASING FOR posTERITY.
Wealthy Men Buy Up Inferior Coal Lands in PennsyIvRnia--Take
 Long Look Ahead.

Purchasing for posterity is the latest commercial development of these strenuous competitive times.
 Scores of men who think they have the gift of foresight are going through the western part of Pennsylvania buy- ing up all the undeveloped coal land that they can run across. The veins are generally small, and the grade of coal inferior, and the buyers know this, but they not infrequently pay as much as $50 or $40 an acre for the coal rights.
 we are not such fools as some peo- pie think we are," said one of them. YAH the good coal veins are being worked now to their utmost limit, and the demand is growing larger all the time, owing to the fact that this sec ton of the country is having more mills built in it every year. What will be the result? Fifty-maybe 8 hun dred-years from now the big veins will all be worked out, and these in- ferior veins will have to be opened. Then our posterity will be right in the way of making money, and lots Of It. Tn the meantime, we have enough money to see us through life. so we can afford to invest a penny here and there in coal lands that are sure to return big dividends to our children, and surely to our grandchildren later on"
