the daring aviator if he flew low

hitting a battleship. and they may say
that If the aeroplane destroyer flies
beyond the range of those guns ne
would not be able to drop shell
where it would do its work.
nThey may forget, however, that the
funnel Of a great battleship offers a
wide target, and that a perfect swarm
of the little, destructive biplane gnats
might be turned loose over battle
ship and some one of them might drop
the shell in the funnel. You could

These British courtiers will pilot the proxy OF

the special ambassador will include a military

rank Of rear admiral, and in addition there
will be three secretaries-young men chosen
more for their social qualifications than be-
cause OF clerical ability.
The army and navy representatives In the
special embassy will Of course don their spe
ca1 full dress uniforms on all ceremonial occa
sions during their stay in London, but the spe-
cial ambassador, alike to the regular envoy,
will not be asked to appear in fancy court at

he would wear at White House reception.

REFORM IN FUNERALS

The following very clever and inter
esting clipping has been submitted
to this department by a well known
Pensacola gentleman, which will
doubtless impress all with it's evident
good sense in many particulars:
"A rather extraordinary industrial
condition in Paris has been brought
to the attention of even the deputies.
Fifty flower shops and many wreath
making establishments have been
forced to close because the French
people are simplifying funerals. The
profuse use of flowers is even being
eliminated by the request mi feurs. nj
couronnes" Even the working class
es have come to see that extravaganza
at funerals Is not only wanton waste,
but 1t is generally a vulgar display
that is meaningless. This movement
according to the London papers has
spread to the British isles and in some
European cities ordinances prohibit
ing all except blood relatives from en-
tering the funerals are being enacted.
1t is rather coincidence that some
time ago-before the appeal to the
French florists attracted attention
several American newspapers began to
moralize on funeral extravaganza and
even to demand legislation against it.
The general opinion expressed howev-
er, was that the people themselves
must be brought to see how inappro-
pirate and even vulgar are the elab-
rate displays, how great are intrusion
is the gathering of a great mass of
people whose motive is to appease Gu
riosity, to meet friends, to get a free
ride" or to advertise a lodge
Gossip in every community includes
the story Of how certain people made
fools of themselves in wanton waste,
even to the extent of going into debt
or spending half of the meagre insur-
ance money that was to stave off want
for a short time, in order to register
on the community the worthiness OF
or grief over the dead, to appease
personal pride, or a desire for social
distinction. The funeral displays OF
our only rivals, the Chinese, in this
respect are on a more justifiable ba-
sis, for the great displays of ghost

SIGNS OF RAIN.

The hollow winds began to blow;
The clouds look black, the glass is low,
The SCOT falls down, the spaniels
sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in hallows hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
For see, a rainbow spans the sky;
The walls are damp, the bitches smell,
Closed is the pink eyed pimpernel.
Hark how the chairs and tables crack!
Old Betty's nerves are on the rack;
Loud quacks the duck, the peacock s
cry,
The distant hills are seeming nigh.
How restless are the snorting swine!
The busy flies disturb the kline,
Low DER the grass the swallows wings
The cricket too, how sharp he sings!
Puss on the hearth with velvet paws,
Sits wiping DER her whiskered jaws;
Through the clear streams the fishes
rise,
And nimbly catches the incautious
flies.
The glow-worrns, numerous and light,
Illumed the dewey dell last night;
At dusk the squalid toad was seen,
Hopping and crawling DER the green {;
The whirling dust the wind obeys,
And in the rapid eddy plays;
The frog has changed his yellow vest,
And in a russell coat is dressed.
Tho June, the air is cold and still,
The mellow blackbird's voice is shrill;
My dog, so altered in his taste,
Quits mutton bones on grass to feast;
And see yon rocks, how odd their
fight!
They intimate the gliding kite,
And seem precipitate to fall,
AS If they felt the piercing ball.
Twill surely rain; 1 see with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.
