OF feeling, but for the reason that he
had lost the primary human instincts,
having been corrupted by q long
course Of comic opera and the movies.
The funeral procession In Mott street
seemed to him like a carnival pro-
cession, like a veritable survival from
the Middle Ages: the hearse was a
triumphal car wreathcd in flowers,
drawn by masquerading mummers
and surrounded by fantastic masks,
80 that 1t constituted to his mind a
thoroughly naive and primitive bit Of
religion. He was required to make a
special effort In order to shake Off the
sense OF the make believe and accept
the funeral as genuine.

teries, with their great family sepul-
chres, fitted up as little chapels

this race they have absorbed whatever
foreign customs force compels them
to. When one Of their noted men died

They came. more than a dozen women

whatever he informed them was the
proper thing to do. When he spoke
of the necessity of embalming the dead
man a wall went up and a loud and
angry discussion passed between the
gypsies. Whatever they were arguing
the dead mans wife decided against it.
She said:

they wear on gala occasions in life.
"In an adjoining tent to the one
which held tho body were strewn on
the earthen floor all sorts of fruits and
grains, and on the day OF the funeral
the tribe, headed by the mourners
passed around these little heaps and
tasted OF each one. Before the last
man had passed fruits and grains were
jumbled together in a confused mass
and 1t is to be hoped that the ceremony
OF tasting OF them was only a pretence.

Odd Experiences Arising From Condolences

read:
~. SIMPSON STYLES"
Investigation proved that he was the
brother of Lieut.. styles.
Another instance has TO do with
a newspaper reporter who had been
detailed to go to city a hundred
miles distant TO write up a political
meeting. His work being done, he
was waiting at the station for the
train that was to take him home,
when he saw the principal orator OF
the meeting walking up and down the
platform.
Obeying a sudden impulse he ap-
preached him and introduced himself
as reporter for the Globe, but with
out giving his name.
Glad to meet you, SIR" said the
orator. Your homo is in -, /

"Yes, sir" said the reporter, "They

wonderful OF the whole story is that
man and his wife were suited with
the first fiat at which they looked.
Lord Acton for many years kept a
record OF condolences. A strange one
occurred within his own experience,
A rumor had spread that his wife had
drowned herself. She had done moth
ing OF the kind. but ii was quite true
that a Baroness Acton had drowned
herself at Tegernsee, where Lord and
Lady Acton was staying. and had
drowned herself under their very win
dow.
The Murder OF Sir Godfrey.
The strangest OF all coincidencss
noted by Lord Acton concerned Sir
Edmund Berry Godfrey. who was muir
dered at the bottom OF what is now
Primrose Hill but was then known MS
Greenberry Hill, In London. Three
men were hanged for the murder.
Their names, respectively, were Green,
Berry and Hill.
In the list OF condolences pertaining
10 accidents a number Of interestirg
examples are OF authentic record. II
has been pointed out that very often
persons have been surprised by events
occurring, as 1t seemed, at the imm, :
date suggestion OF the victims. In
the excitement OF the moment they
have offered fate" or some unknown
law OF association OF power of mind
over matter as suitable explanations,
but when all is said calm reason may
classify such phenomena as pure coin
cidence.

Roosevelt street, the Most Precious
Blood in Baxter street and the Trans
figuration in Mott street. All of
them have been used many times
since the return Of the soldiers for
military funerals: on occasions when
the body was not there but when the
