QUEER WHlMS FOR FUNERALS
Ensi;snman's Coffin Made of 1000
atchboxes-Unusuai Burial
at Sea.

An enormous crowd gathered at
Chester a few months ago to witness
the funeral of an electrical engineer,
who was carried to the cemetery in
a coffin that had been laboriously con-
structed by himself out of 1000 match
boxes. These, with their tops visible
and advertising their respective max
ers, were vanished over and strength
ened inside with wood. On the coffin
was placed an electric battery, says
london Tit-Bits.
Some years ago a maiden lady died
at Calemis-sur-Lys in France, who
was reported to have been a cham
pion snuff taker. She enjoyed singu-
larly good health, retained all her
mental faculties and died at a ripe
old age. Her funeral was most ex-
traordinary. Her wish was that her
coffin should be filled with tobacco.

Is large, deep and very clear body OF
tidal water A mile or two along the
sounds shore is the DEVILS hole, where
some thrifty Bermudian has collected
in pool fish of all kinds taken from
Bermudian waters. Farther on, where
the road from the other side of the
sound is met, are wonderful caves.
The drive from Hamilton along the
south shore to the Natural Arch is an
other which is we'll worth taking. On
this road is the great Spanish rock,
with it's strange cave opening on the
face of the high cliff. The cave is
entered by a chimney-like hole from
the top of the rock. There is some
pirate tradition about this rock. Some
miles beyond one leaves the carriage
and walks down past the only moving
sand dunes on the rain island. On
the shore is the Natural Arch and be-
yond, in the ocean, lie the Boilers, the
only ones known to exist outside the
Southern Pacific. These could be
called miniature atolls, but for the
fact that there is no opening into
them such as the real atoll HIS. They
are coral formation. A climb up the
path to the left to the top of the arm
OF land which separates Castle harbor
from the Atlantic on the south will re-
pay the trouble. A magnificent view
of Castle harbor stretches to the left,
with the broad Atlantic beyond and to
the south. From Hamilton there is
another popular drive around the
Great sound to the Gibbs Hill light
house and Scaur hill. Beyond Scaur
hill is Ireland island, which is a Brit
lsh naval station. The trips out to the
reefs in the glass-bottom boats is an
other of the many delights offered in
Bermuda. There one may sit in the
small boats and watch the coral and
waving sea plants of many colors far
below. Occasionally strange fish will
swim under the boat far down in the
waters. Sometimes one will have
view of small shark moving placidly
along, undisturbed by the curious eyes
watching him.
These and a hundred other interest
ing things can be found in Bermuda
after two-day ocean trip from New
York. Within twenty-four hours after
leaving New York harbor the ship is
in summer weather, with porpoises
rolling alongside, hundreds of flying
fish leaping from the water and sail
ing along in the air for few feet, and
an occasional whale in the distance.
BY breakfast time on the second morn
ing the Bermudas are in sight. In a
little while the pilot comes aboard
and by luncheon time one should be in
his hotel in Bermuda.

Peter, however, held aloof from the

called and made a personal appeal.
Peter was rough and ignorant and a
little inclined to profanity, but honest
and frank in speech If not in act.

 ON MAIL SERVICE

Captain Cornell, of Ketchikan, speaking of the work of commercial clubs throughout Alaska towns, said;
 "If the Juneau Commercial Club will take up the idea of getting in line with the Ketchikan Commercial Club much can be done in the matter of improv- ing conditions that now exist. One of the things that should be urged is that the steamship companies so ar range their schedules that during the winter months we may have regular four-day mail service. It is a simple matter and requires only an adjust ment of sailing dates Let the clubs take this up and the demand will soon be met.
