Modern Burial caskets.

An elaborate burial casket lately
made in this city, says the New York
Sun. was lined with silk and covered
with silk plush, both lining and cover-
ing being Of a. delicate peach bloom
pink. At least ono such casket has
been covered with plush Of a Nile
green; and plush covered caskets are
made in blue, white, black, gray and
purple, purple being the color most
often used. Made Of the finest mater
ials. such caskets are expensive, rang
ing in price from 5000 to S1,700.
While caskets such as these might
excite wonder, yet burial caskets of
sort and another have now come
into such general use that through
out a great part Of the country prob
ably not more thar 10 per cent Of those
who die are buried in collins. With
this change has come a great change
In burial customs.
The old time coffin was made in one
anciently familiar style. 1t might be
made of wildwood or oak or mahog-
any, and 1t might be extensively trim
med, but 1t was still a coffin; and
by the cabinetmaker OF the undertaken
all collins were made. The modern
burial casket Is made In hundreds OF
styles and Its manufacture Is a busi-
ness by itself.
Burial caskets of the least expen-
sive sorts Of wildwood stained in I'M
itation of oak or mahogany, may be
bought at a cost not much greater
thar that Of a coffin; and a cloth
covered casket may now be had as
low as $40. The great majority are
those ranging In price UP to abou,
500, and the greatest demand is fol
caskets black cloth covered.
There are burial caskets covered
with embossed velvet; and metallic
caskets OF aluminium and bronze, buria'
caskets of bronze costing from $1,1O
to s1,80e; and there are many caskets
some in great simplicity of design anG
others richly covered made in various
fine woods.

which, according to common belief. is
capable of standing almost any blow.
The following story would seem to
indicate something OF the kind any
how. Two negro men were employed
in tearing down q three-story brick
building. One negro was on top of the
building taking off the bricks and slid
ing them down a narrow wooden chute
to the ground, some 80 feet below,
where the other was picking them up
and piling them.
When the latter negro was stopping
over to pick up a brick, the former ac-
cidentally let one fall. striking him d.
rectly on the head.
Instead Of it's killing him, he merely
looked up without rising, and said:

Away with Clothes.

II one takes somewhat broader
and less technical view of the menac-
ing conditions disclosed by the London
Lancet's series OF exposes, and Is
large-minded enough to appreciate
the essential artifcialty OF the
whole modern scheme Of clothes, there
seems but one logical conclusion from
the premises, viz. clothes must go or
the human race will be devoured and
exterminated by microbes. The con-
veniences Of the household, from
scrubhing brush TO the grand plano,
are nothing more nor less than germ
traps. From kitchen to drawing room
and garrett the house Is alive with
miscroscopic brigands. Hence, houses
must be given up also. And 1t thus
appears that science as well as social
ism urges a return to the misnamed
days Of barbarism toward which the
back to nature" folk look so long
ingly.
