HIGHEST HoNoRs PAID POET
Men Of Every Walk In Life In Proces-

Burns to Grave.

Robert Burns died at Dumfries,
Thursday, July 81, 1885, at the age of
81. Sunday evening, July "a, the body
was carried to the Trades hall, in
the High street. and from there, on
Monday, July 25, it was borne to the
churchyard Of st. Michael's. The poet
was buried with military honors Sol
diers lined the streets and a firing
party, with arms reversed, marched
first. The coffin was carried on the

March in SAUL" the long procession
walked down the High street of Dunn

part In the funeral were the Gentle

the poet belonged; the Fencible in

The two latter bodies were at that
time CHARTERED in Dumfries, and Of

Junior officers of the Cirque Ports

1.-THE Faerv Oueen'

As work of art "The Faery
Queen" at once astonishes us by the
wonderful fertility and richness Of
the writer's imagination, by the facil-
ity with which he finds or makes Ian
guage for his needs, and above all, by
the singular music and sweetness Of
his verse. The main theme seldom
varies; 1t is a noble knight, fighting,
overcoming, tempted, delivered; or
beautiful lady plotted against, dis
tressed, rescued. The poets affiuence
Of fancy and speech gives a new turn
and color to each adventure. But be
sides that, under these conditions
there must be monotOny; the poets
art, admirable as 1t is, gives room for
objections. There was loose
ness and carelessness, partly belonging
to his age, partly his own. In the use
of materials, nothing comes amlss to
him. He had no scruples as copy
list. He took without ceremony any
piece Of old metal-word, story or i'm
age-which came to his hand, and
threw 1t into the melting pot Of his i'm
aginatiOn, to come out fused with his
own materials, often transformed, but
often unchanged. The effect was
sometimes happy, but not always 80.

F.1sP A HOUSEHOLD BUDeET
Practically Impossible to Run Homo
Without Employment of Good
Business Methods.

1t must be admitted that business
system Is desirable in the home, for
the very good and simple reason that,
manifestly you cannot carry on sue
cessfully any kind of business without
more or less bookkeeping, writes Carl
Marshall in Thrift. But often you will
hear some easy-golng housekeeper say:
That's too much trouble; I have
enough other things to do without
bothering with accounts. Besides,
what's the use? 1t costs you just so
much to live anyway, and keeping ac-
counts won't make the amount any
less"
Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom at
a loss for self-justification Of this sort.
Some Of US can remember the old
fashioned country storekeeper who
used to spend most of his time sitting
on box whiting or gosslping with
the loafers when he should have been
studying his business. This cheerful
soul held the same views as the slack
housekeeper.
But we do not see much more of
this old-fashioned, happy-go-lucky
country merchant. He has long ago
been put out Of business by his enter
prising competitor who learned the
value Of good bookkeeping.
The answer to those who would
shirk home account-keepIng is simply
this: You cannot plan your affairs with
any certainty unless you know about
them, and you cannot know about them
unless you keep records of them.

heartbroken to discover her choice din

A Chinese merchant gave this bit Of

Flower Show Old Institution.

The flower shows of English villages
have an ancient origin, though few
people may ever stop to give the mat
ter n thought. The ancestry of the
floral fete reaches back to the days Of
Ovid, the poet. As for when flower
shows were first held in England. It
cannot be certainly known, but It is a
fact that If they did not actually In
troduce them, the worsted manufac-
turers from Flanders, fleeing the
wrath of Philip and Alva, In 1867, gave
a fillip to the practice. To these peo-
pie English gardens of Elizabeth's
time owed such favorltes as the gllly-
flower ana the carnation.
