CURIOUS FUNERAL

The Viscomtesse de Vaugelet, who
recently died in Frances at the age of
seventy-seven. left the bulk of her
fortune, estimated at 100000, various
minor legacies being deducted. to the
town of Riom on certain curious con-
ditions, which were all, or nearly all,
complied with. She insisted on an en-
hrely white" funeral, with white trap
pings, white flowers and white horses.
No white flowers were discoverable in
the country. but in other respects her
wishes were obeyed. The late WIS.,
comtesse seems to have been particu-
larly musical, for she bequeathed $500
to the local band on condition it play
ed Chopin's Funeral March" contin-
uously during the obsequies all the
way from the house to the church, and
from the church to the graveyard, a
distance of 16 miles. The result was
that the band played Chopin's Flu
neral March" 81 times, and then re-
tired almost inanimate to a village
inn. where a portion of the 5000 was
consumed in drinks.

Call MistLetoe q Pest

The species of mistletoe which has
played so important part in the
worlds literature and romance is
found only in Europe, where it grows
upon the apple. hawthorn, sycamore,
poplar. locust and fir trees. 1t is &C.
casionaily tbut very rarely found up
on oaks. The oak. as is we'll known,
was the sacred tree of the Drufds:
and when the mistletoe was found
growing nron an oak this strange
priesthood believed that tree to be es-
pecialiy designated by the gods for re-
ligious uses, Elaborate religious cere-
monials were celebrated under such
trees. ending with the sacrifice of two
white oxen, after which the mistletoe
was cut down. The ancient Germans
also held the parasitic plant in super
stitious veneration, and the Celts re-
gardcd it as possessed of magical
properties.
Probably the only way of getting
rid of the mistletoe, in regions in
which it is so abundant as to
be a real menace TO the forests, is

when the lessons came to an end he
distributed the cigars freely among

them a good lesson, insisted upon their
smoking in his presence. Many of

Butter Wrappers.

As the use of butter wrappers
printed in any manner with q rdb.
Der stamp is against the law, don't
take chances by marketing butter
which is not enclosed in a printed
wrapper. Your good natured
grocer may let you do 80, and run
a few chances himself at the same
time, but is it worth while? An
inspector may drop in any old
time, and conclude to make an ex-
ample of somebody.
Again, the purchaser of all extra
good article of butter wants to
know who made it and will look for
the wrapper again.
We will print you wrappers to
comply with the law in every par
ticular, both as regards paper, ink
and print. The law demands a
certain ink, that is not affected by
water, salt or butter fat. We have
it, and always use it. Call us by

them when you call. 500 for So.
