Extravaganza for the Dead.

Burial customs were once modest
with our people. But complicated and
costly living appears to have made
simple dying impossible, remarks the
New York Mail. We run to weak os-
tentation in the surroundings and
trappings of mortality. 1t is necessary
to obtain this, to purchase that; it is
the only good form, nothing else will
do. 1t is the consideration of the liv-
ing that we think about, not the SIM
pie respect due the dead. We forget
that the costlier the earthly memorial
we erect the shallower may be the rec
ord that we cut upon the tablets Of
our hearts.

Peanut Butter.

Peanut butter is easily made at
home by passing the roasted and
shelled nuts several times through
the finest knives of a patent food
grinder, the oil in the nut being quite
sufficient to make the butter creamy.
Should more be needed, add a little
pure olive oil. Salt to taste and pack

STANDING un or Sitting.

Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. like
Napoleon, is no giant, and, unfortu-
nately, occupies a seat far back in the
senate chamber. There is hardly a
discernible difference between his
posture standing and sitting down.
On one occasion when Vice President
Fairbanks eye swept the chamber he
saw Mr.. Knox with an expectant look
on his face and his hands full of pa
pers. The president of the senate
knit his brows, endeavoring to discoy-
er whether the ex-attorney general
was standing up or not. Not being
able to decide, be turned his head
slightly toward his assistant and
asked in stage whisper:
THAT little man from Pennsylvania
is he standing or sitting DOWN."

piled the secretary.

Scarcity of Freight Cars.

During 1900" writes George r. Met
calf, M. E., in the March Technical
World Magazine, "the railroads of the
United States ordered new locomotives
to the number of $500, together with
$500 passenger cars and 100000 freight
cars. These last figures give good
idea of the relative Importance of pas
senger and freigh traffic to large rail
road. The rail mills started the new
year with orders for 100000 tons on
their books. I'm spite of these
great orders and in spite of the
best efforts of the railroad man
ayers, pile after pile OF thousands
of bushels of corn has been heaped up
on the ground in Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska for want of storage room or
transportation facilities; while in
North Dakota alone, over million
bushels of wheat has rotted on the
ground for want of freight cars to
move It."
