Rosebery as sr.n es x..tt.,~

s
 There may be two opinions about Lord Rosebery's character as a poli~ tician, but there can only he one as to his occasional appearance in the ca- pacity of a man of letters. In the do- main of history and literature ha touches nothing which he does not adorn. and his range is wide cne--- from the imperial captive Of St. Hel- ena to the inspired exciseman of Dum~ fries. His address at Dumfrfes coma years ago on Burns was one of tho finest things of the kind to which Scotsmen had ever been treated. while his speech on Saturday at the annual meeting of the Scottish Historical So- ciety was another masterpiece In It's way.

A priest in a factory district of
western Massachusetts recently be-
gan a crusade against costly funerals
among his parishiOners. On invesdga-
ton he found that their expense fire.
quently impoverished the bereaved
family, and that in order to pay for
a magnificent coffin, elaborate floral
settings and long procession of car
riages, all of which constituted only
"a passing pageant of an hour" a
household was often compelled to deny
itself for months the bare necessities
of life. In his pulpit accordingly he
denounced such practices, and asked
that hencefOrth those of his flock who
died be buried as simply as they had
lived. The words of this priest bore
good fruit Simplicity instead of os-
tentatiOn has more and more charac-
terized the funerals of his parish, and
as a result the community as a whole
has been much happier. This was not
because it grieved the less over its
dead, but because, being less starved
by extravagant manifestations of its
sorrows, it could bear them with a
greater fOrtitude. Nor has a single
parish only been blessed. The senti-
ment against costly ceremonials for
the dead has spread to other parts of
Massachusetts,, where other clergymen
have followed the example Of the
priest. 1t is to be hoped that the gos.
pei of simple grief, as some have call
ed it, may find its way everywhere.
