CONDUCTED BURlALS IN STATE
Large Amounts OF Money Spent by
colonists Of Virginia In Exercises
Over Their Dead.

In colonial Virginia funerals were 20.
cial as we'll as solemn occasions, as Ia
shown by Mrs. Mary N. Stanard In her
interesting review Of the seventeenth.
century customs of Virginians. When
death entered the planters home mes
sengers were sent on horseback over
land, or by sail or rowboat up and
down the rivers to notify friends and
relatives, while In the kitchen the big
pot was put into the little one; for
not only did the colonists bring with
them the English custom Of the fu-
neral feast, but much Of the company
that would be ere long at the door
would arrive hungry after journey
Of many miles and would remain sew
eral days, consuming great quantity
of food and drink. The funeral ex-
penses of John Smalcombe, who died
in 1915, included a steer about four
years old and q barrel Of strong beer,
which together cost nine hundred and
sixty pounds of tobacco-nearly four
times as much as the coffin, which cost
two hundred and fifty pounds. Powder
"spent at this funeral" cost twenty
four pounds of tobacco.

Snow Worms.

In Germany the term ssnow worm
IS applied to the larya Of beetle often
found In the snow. Many species Of
insect are commonly found on glaciers
The most abundant Of these are the
springtails, which hop like miniature
fleas or wriggle deity into the cavities
of the snow, but are so minute that the
passerby needs to look for them In or
der TO see them. Snow-loving spring
tails are not confined to glaciers; they
occur in great numbers on the surface
of melting sncw on bright, sunny spring

States.

nave never seen your handwriting.
DID you direct thls?"
For answer she took a pencil and
card from her bag and wrote his name
upon 1t.
He placed 1t beside the enyelope and
studied the two. His glance again fell
upon the printed slip which, after a
moments hesitation, he read aloud:
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Bowie en-
nounce the engagement of their daugh-
ter, Mary, to Mr.. William Berkeley.
Inc wedding will take place in the
early fall"
For q time he looked absently at
the clipping, then his eyes sought and
held hers.
Not If ! can prevent It." he said at
iast' do you think I will let you 20
out OF my life without protest?"
i have never been in your life"
Inc reply came a tritle breathlessly.
You have probably not realized Il
any more than I, but this" touching
the slip of paper, makes 1t very plain
TO me. The trouble has been I have
never had time for play, but in the
back Of my mind has always been the
certainty that you and would live
out our lives together. There has
been no time for play nor for that de-
lightful experience, courtship, and
courtship Is what girl wants, ia it
not?"
Surely 1t is her right" The reply
held touch of asperity.
Il suppose so and now I have no
time for it. This letter came two
months ago. 1t is now October,
Will have to take you whether you
Will, or no. The courtship can come
afterward." He looked at his watch.
There is just time to reach the city
hall before 1t closes. VIII you come

Clergyman? I am afraid to let you out
Of my sight, Mary"
"And Mr.. Berkely? l gave him my
promise"
"This is question between you and
me. l love you. l hope you care
enough for me to marry me. Some
promises should be broken before they
break ones life And, Mary, we can
be very happy together. If had time
you would find 1t out before, but am
pressed for time and the knowledge
must come later. Will you Gomez"
She had risen and was fumbling
rather aimlessly with her glove but
ton.
II think I had better tell you some
thing first" she replied little I'M
steadily. II found I did not care for
Mr.. Berkely and at the eleventh hour
broke my engagement. l discovered
before 1t was too late that / cared for
another man."
"And that MANI"
"He was very stupid" She looked
at him squarely now. II had to find
some way to make him know his own
mind for was sure he cared for me,
but for many years he had taken me
SO as matter of course that he did
not realize 1t. You asked me If

Suitable Clothing important.

"Still another factor In the produc-
ton Of colds, pneumonia and other re-
spiratory diseases is carelessness or ig-
norance of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
in warm rooms too heavily dressed or,
what is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows are kept closed In order to be
comfortably warm. This Ia a very In

Washington, D. C.--With the subsid-
ence Of the epidemic Of influenza the
attention Of health officers Is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases Of the respiratory system
which regularly cause large number
Of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General Of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.
"The present epidemic" said Sur
ge0n General Blue, "has taught by Bit
ter experience how readily a condition
beginning apparently as slight cold
may 60 on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic Ia
over, there will continue to be-a large
number Of scattered cases, many Of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after
great fire, saying, mo fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is dan
ger of the fire reminding from smol-
dering embers."
"Then you fear another outbreak Of
infuenza?' he was asked. mot neces-
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
Of the danger they viii be compelled 10

ut is encouraging to observe that
people are begiAning to learn that or.
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means Of drOplets Of
germ laden mucus Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. 1t
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value Of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of doors, the respira-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
MIA, etc. are infrequent; In the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
respiratory diseases increase; In the
winter, when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent.
