MExIco's TROLLEY FUNERALS.
Trains of Electric Hearses and Mourn.
ers' Cars.

The elaborate funeral professions
which, winding gay-colored through
the streets in the City of Mexico. are
a feature of most Spanish American
countr1e,are unknown here The electric
trains are used for all funerals, and
the procession following the dead to
the place of burial is as modern and
up to date as it can be.
The electric trains Of Mexico are
well built and run, their direction be-
ing in the hands of Americans and
Englishmen. One of the main lines
runs to the principal cemetery of the
city, and along this all the funerals go.
The company has a contract with the
city under the terms of which a special
burial car, containing collins for twelve
bodies, calls daily at the hospitals and
public institutions to take the city
charges who have died to the city Gem
etery. Under the contract with the
city the trolley company furnishes the
hearse and the car crew. and the un-
dertakers are city employees. The fu-
neral car is a plain black car with lit
tie ornamentation.
The company has for private use
several cars, ranging in elaborateness
from a plain style. for which a small
charge is made to a very elaborate one,
the price of which puts it beyond the
reach of all but the Well-tO-do.
All the cars are so constructed that
they can be run off the tracks and
over the pavements to the house from
which the body Is to be taken. When
! the coffin is secured the car is drawn
by horses back to the nearest track,
where 1t makes the necessary electric
connection
OF late the government has been re-
/ paving the stItats with asphalt 1t has
been found that dragging the heavy
funeral cars over this is ruinous to
the pavement, and soon another ar
rangement will be necessary. The troll
ley company intends to have a central
funeral station designated, into which
the electric hearses can run on spurs
and to which the dead will be taken in
vehicles provided for that purpose.
A familiar sight on the trolley line
to the cemetery is a funeral train made
up of an electric hearse, with a trailer
for the mourners; another hearse, with
another body, another trailer, with an
other party of mourners and so on.
The trains run at the same speed as
| other electric vehicles.
Many of the hearses are deliberately
embellished with statuettes, carved
work, plumes, torches and similar en-
blems Of mourning. The trolley COM
pany finds the business a profitable
| oner and it is growing all the time

economical at that, when one considers
the saving on the cleaners bill.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

An interesting symposium is being
conducted by the Home Science Mag
azine on the relative merits of fiat
and home life. The impression is gen.
eral in many quarters that the sub
stitution of the fiat for, the individual
home implies and results; in a gradual
weakening of the institution of the
family, and that it begets selfishness
and indifference to civic claims. How
ever that may be, it is unquestionably
true that the apartment is displacing
the single house in most large Amer
lean cities. During the past year, in
Manhattan, while business blocks, no.
tells and apartment houses have been
going up by the hundred, only forty

GLEANINGS,

Since King Edwards visit the king

before. When the king and queen

to Venice, for the art exhibition, they
left their two little girls in the care of
the English governess, Miss Dickens.

or fifty new separate houses were
built. and these belonged mostly to
men of great wealth.. If families with
small incomes want to live in houses
by themselves, they have to go north
of the Harlem river, to Brooklyn or
to- the Staten Island, Jersey and Long
Island suburbs. In view of these facts
the editors of the Home Science Mag
aZine' are asking their readers such
questions as: Do you prefer to live in
an apartment or in a house? Why?
If you began your housekeeping in an
apartment, were you able. to make an
earlier beginning on that account?
Have you ever known of a landlord
who was unwilling to let his apart
mentS to families with children? How
does life in a fiat affect the problems
of child training? Have you found
that life in apartments made you or
your friends less sensitive to civic
claims. E., is a householder who has
only Indirect connection with the col
lector of ashes and garbage, and who
is freed from care of the sidewalks,
Indifferent to municipal housekeeping
on that account? SIS
A great many answers to these
queries have been received, some of
them entertaining and all of them in
teresting. A Boston woman, whose
first name is Vega, and who says she
has kept house in cottages, houses,
single and semi detached, flats and
rooms, in seven different towns, pre-
fers a fat to house of more than one
story. Yes, she has known of land
lords who were unwilling to let their
apartments to families with children,
but usually they have been landladies.
Children certainly need more room for
play, otherwise fiat jewellers are no
more selfish and no less. selfish than
other people, and "the Christian vir-
tues may be developed quite as easily
in q fiat as anywhere else" Robert
Treat Paine gives it as his Judgment
that fiat living affects the problems
Of child training to a grave extent,
leading often to very Unsatisfactory
results. Mrs. Mary w. Cults favors
