STRANGE BURIAL REQUESTS
English Woman Had Planned Her
Funeral to the Minutest
Details.

Remarkable ceremonial attended the
interment lately at Yarmouth of a
wealthy widow named Maria Mills, WHO
for 80 years had mourned the loss of
her only son. she had planned her Oh
sequies to the minutest detail, and ell
her wishes were strictly observed, say S
the London Chronicle.
Four horses drew the hearse. The cof-
fin was not adorned with any flowers
but was covered with violet velvet
pail, exquisitely embroidered to the de-
sign of Mrs. Mills. The will directed
that ten bearers should be engaged at a
fee of a guinea each, all Of whom, with
the old gentlemen in the mourning
party, wore Old-fashioned ''weepers"
secured to their silk hats with rosettes.
On a magnificent marble column in
the cemetery Mrs. Mills had many years
ago caused her name to be inscribed,
and beneath It the richly polished, pan
eled oak coffin was deposited in the pres.
ence Of an immense crowd.

or five fiat boxes, sufficiently large to
hold bolt Of baby ribbon each. Place
in the boxes, then bore hole in the
center Of one end of each box and
draw perhaps couple Of inches Of the
ribbon through, just enough to show
the shade Of ribbon it contains, then
tie all together with ribbon. a pretty
bow coming on top of the nest Slip
a couple of silver bodkins in the rib

sweetest little, remembrance at a most
nominal cost Of money and time.

Men should be fed and starched and
mended 30 unobtrusively that these
good things would seem to them as 81
the orderyof daily living, like the gun
shine and the air.
When Mary married John II was n
the bond that John should furnish the
money on which to keep house, and
that the house should be kept by
Mary. He should not find holes in his
socks, nor rips in his gloves. lie

looks after the little daily comforts
Of her husband In the matters that do

whose husband suffers from trivial
neglects.
II man has preferences as to the
table, preferrIng poached eggs to

not be left to a cook. They are not
beneath a wife's supervision.
The word management savors OF
something sinister. wish to guard
its meaning as it touches the recipro-
cal interests OF husband and wife. It
should never be used to low, sordid
or unkind end. A husband who had
lived nearly 40 years in unallOyed
bliss with the wife Of his youth looked
after her one day with a smile, as she
left the room, and then, turning to a
kinswoman, said: "She is a darling,
and know how to manage her." The
little lady was one who needed gentle
management, and it was her great
good fortune to have given her heart
and hand to a man who understood
this, and knew how to practice man
agement with tenderness.
Elizabeth Browning, speaking of her
husband, said: 81 know his every
thought. 1 live inside his heart" It
is living inside a mans heart and
knowing his every thought that makes
perfect, beautiful and ever-endurIng
the gentle management of a good
wife.

SIXTEENTH CENTURY DUELs
Odd and Interesting Incidents Of Some
Old Time Fights for
Honor.

In his "Dueling Stories Of the Six
teenth Century" Brantome, a French
writer, says that two French captains,
though old friends, fell out and fought
One Of them was disabled. "The other
being untouched Observed: There,
that's enough for old friends like US.
You'd better go and attend to your
wounds To this the vanquished one
replied: Well, you might as well do q
bit more for me. Just pretend to be
wounded and wear your arm in a sling
for day or two, so that l needn't be
considered disgraced, nor any question
of that come up when they want to
reconcile us-that is, il l survive
And the victorious friend smeaISk
some of the others blood on his arm
and went about saying that he wa1
wounded, but it was a mere nothing,
and he only wished his friend were III
same. The latter recovered with some
difficulty, and they were afterward as
good friends as BEFORE"
1t was allowed in the challenge to
stipulate as many different weapons as
one pleased, without specifying the
particular ones with which one would
actually fight. The antagonist wSa
bound to provide himself with all.
One duelist insisted ION the provision
of no less than thirty different kinda
Of armament, for foot and horseback;
nay. he even specified the kind OF
horse-coursers, blood horses from
Spain and Turkey, thoroughbreds,
cobs, some in harness with ears and
tail clipped, some saddled in jennet
style, some with heavy plated armor,
and so on. The object was not only
to take his adversary by surprise, bat
to put him to enormous expense and
exhaust his resources"
Another story, from Italy this time
illustrates the ethical aspects of me-
dieval dueling. One of the combat
ants had q very bad cause, and knew
it. But a brilliant idea occurred to
him for turning it into a good one.
Having confronted his enemy when
they were just about to cross swords
he pretended to be afraid, turned his
back on his foe, and ran away. The
enemy, falling guilelessly.into the trap,
ran after him, exclaiming in his ex-
ultation, 'Ha coward, thou fiiest!' The
supposed coward turned upon him in
stantly, crying: You lie. Now I've
got a good cause. Come on"

anybody who might be on tAo watch an
idea that there was anything other than
q coincidence In his arrival on the heels
OF the messenger boy, Thomas loitered
into the place and passed directly into
the bar, where he called for a drink.
There were two or three men standing at
the bar, but at the moment of his en-.
trance nothing was to be seen either Of
the messenger OF Of Thornton Stack
house. A number of booths ranged along
the side OF the room opposite the bar,
however, attracted his attention, and,
in accordance with his surmises, Mr..
Thomas was pleased very shortly to see
the messenger emerge from one Of these
places. The boy haa scarcely passed
out when the reporter, swallowing at q
gulp the beverage which he had ordered,
placed the payment therefor upon the
counter, and lounged down past the
compartment from which the boy had is

The local army corps of the Saliva
tion Army is, as usual at the ap-
proach of the Christmas season, pre-
pairing to cheer the poor of this city,

are poor and deserving, and will try
to bring little sunshine into their
lives at this season. The dinners will
be given out the Saturday before
Christmas day, in baskets containing
food for five persons. In order to car
ry out the plans they need help, and
have sent out requests for food or
money, and clothing also.
If, after feeding the intended num-

poor. Last year the army aided more
than 1000 people here in this way.

the local corps, are in charge of the
work and will receive all donations.

Peter Hamilton, of II Mcclellan
street, was held up by two men on
Maple street, near the post Office, at
10 o'clock last night.
Hamilton said that he was casually
walking along the street when sud-
denly two men appeared and tried to
grab him. He defended himself with
his fists and succeeded in landing a
few good blows on the fellows, who
seeing that Hamilton was too much
for them took to their heels and fled.
Hamilton followed, but said the men
disappeared after reaching the Cen
trail railroad tracks.
I Hamilton went to the police station
this morning and reported the affair,
but could give no clue to the identity
of his assailants. The police are in
vestigating the affair and hope to
throw some light on the case soon.
Hamilton, who is watchman at
the Raritan Copper Works, does not
know of anyone who bears him a
grudge which would lead to his being
attacked on the street. Robbery is
therefore suspected as the motive for
The assault.
