ADVICE BROUGHT UP TO DATE.
Little Story Suggests Improvement On
Crockett's Words Of Wisdom.

The other day a mar travelling on a
shore line train noticed. protruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
TO a friend. He knew that his friend
always got of at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was In
evitable that he had jumped on the
train and forgotten it.
The mar called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After
some discussion and a mild protest
on the part of the conductor that 1t
wasn't a part of his duty, the suit
case was put off at the next station,
with instructions to send it back on
the first train the other way.
The man, feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long! The face of his
frieHd-who had been in the smoker,
and who happened On that particular
afternoon, to be going to New London
to attend a dinner party-loomed be-
fore him.
The moral of this is, of course, quite
evident.
Be sure you're right, and then mind
your own business.-Life.

He Meant Well.

The soda-fountain clerk was en-
gagged in vigorously shaking up a choc-
olate-and-egg when suddenly the glass
broke in his hands, and the ensuing
deluge made him look like a human
eclair.
The Mortified customer leaned over
the counter, trying to be sympathetic,
Not knowing exactly what to say, he
finally blurted out:
"Oh!-er-too bad--did the glass
break?"
Dripping chocolate from head to
foot, the clerk looked at him wither-
ingly.
Did the glass break?" he roared.

with freezing sarcasm "Oh! no.

Clever Crabs.

The tree crab of the South Sea is
lands Is akin to the hermit crab, but
1t is larger and it has its hind quar-
tiers sheathed In a shell. 1t is
also known as the palm crab, because
it climbs the %cocoanut palm and
picks the fruit, which 1t nips off
close to the stem. 1t always takes
care to choose a palm tree with plenty
of stones at the foot, so that the
%cocoanut may be broken by the
fall. When the natives see that a
crab is in a tree they tie a ruff Of
grass around the trunk. When the
crab comes down again he is upset by
the grass and falls heavily to the
ground, where he lies stunned. He
is then killed with 4 stone ak, his
nippers are tied together and he
is slung upon a spear to be carried
to camp. The South Sea islanders
roast the palm crab between two hot
stones and consider the flesh a great
delicacy.

First it is important to the School in that it should
begin with good class Of pupils and have them all
start together upon their studies. 1t is important to
the cause because the more pupils secure the
stronger will be the advocacy Of Freethought.
There is no longer any doubt about the School open
ing and carrying out its plan Of work. box OF
geological specimens have been secured from abroad
for by the students in that branch Of study, and
this will be shipped on its rounds to all students for
examination and inspection 1t will include fossil
plants and animals, and different specimens of geolog
emanating from the School. If it only result in help

of any other Correspondence School, and is designed
to furnish ocular demonstration to the students of the

FREETHOUGHT FUNERALS AGAIN.

To guard and protect beloved dead from the
carron Of the dread superstition of orthodox
beliefs should be the first consideration Of every Free
thinker in the world
We have previously written on this subject We do
not wish to grow mOnotonous or tiresome. Since our
previous comment other articles have appeared rea-
tive thereto which suggest further thoughts along this
lne and in view of what has been said we deem it the
part of wisdom to offer our readers what might be a
solution Of problem that has long been pressing
them.
Following the article from the pen Of James +.
Morton, Jr., wherein it is suggested that get away
from Christian forms, and Il good suggestion it is,
Mrs. Henry and others, have written on the same
subject and it begins to look as though system can
be naugurated which will insure the Freethinkers Of
America that their wishes in this respect may be
piled with when the end cometh.
The communication from A. j. Causen, of St Ans
gar, Iowa. is valuable and straight to the point The
Blade heartily commends and endorses the sugges-
tons therein contained, and will readily open its col
umns for the publication Of a standing list of the
names and addresses Of Freethinkers who are both
capable and willing to undertake such sad duty. In
thing however, the Blade would offer amend
ment namely in regard to the distance radius sug-
gested. Fifty miles is but comparatively short dis
lance On hundred miles can be traversed in three
hours in almost any part Of the country and in the
times gone past the Blades editor has travelled six
times that distance in order to conduct Frcethought
funeral.

THE NEW QUEEN IN
 QUAINT CEREMONY
VICTORIA EUGENE PARTICIPATES IN THE TAKING OF THE CUSH- IoN' AT THE COURT IN MADRID, SPAIN,

Madrid, February S-Queen Victoria Eu- part for the first time in the quaint court ceremony known as "Tomar la Almo- hada,H or taking the cushion" This is the initiation of ladies of grandee rank into the privilege of being seated in the presence of their soyereigns equivalent to the privilege, enjoyed by the grandees of remaining covered in the royal pres ence.
 The Queen, surrounded by ladies of the court who had already taken the cush- ion," and who seated themselves at her command, received the candidates for the highest honor women can receive at the court of Spain.
 Each lady was brought forward by a prominent lady of the court, as sponsor, who presented her to the Queen. The as- pirant curtsied thrice to her majesty, who responded with one curtsey, saying, Please be seated.''
 The lady then seated herself before the Queen on a cushion of red damask, and entered into a brief conversation with her majesty, afterward taking her place among her equals according to prece- dence When all had taken the cushion, they formed a circle, and the Queen conversed with them generally. The ceremony con- cluded with the ladies being presented to the King by their sponsors.
 Fourteen ladies took the cushion" at Queen Ena's first function. Among them were the Duchess Countess de Luna, a de- scendant of the Count de Luna, who Is a character in "Il Trovatore;" the Duchess de la Viga, a descendant of Christopher Columbus; and the Duchess de Lontemar. descendant of the great Capt.

Tiny Gotham Shops.

From the New York Sun.
 The three smallest shops, perhaps, in Greater New York, are all on the upper West Side. Two of them are on Colum- bus avenue.
 The first of these is between Ninety third and Ninety-fourth streets, and is used as laundry. It is about three feet wide and eight deep. The door takes up almost all the front There is enough room inside for a desk and shelves.
 The second shop is situated between Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth streets, on Columbus avenue. It is used by jew eler. It has a front of only two and a half or three feet and runs back into a depth of six or seven feet
 This shop was once part of bigg9r store which was divided into two. There was a surplus of about three feet left over and the owner of the building had it made into another shop by putting a door on the front.
 In the rear of the shop Is safe as wide as the store and it just fits into the space snugly~ The third shop Is on Broadway, between Sixtyfourth and Sixty fifth streets. It fits in the space between two flat houses. There is just room enough In the front for a small window and a door.
