J "The nlr Is lull of farewells to the djlng und mournings for tho dead." Scrunton people have seemed to re alize tho sorrowful truth this spring ns never before. Perhaos tho pathos of the words have been doubly im pressive this week with the shadows of Jlcmotlal day yet lengthening across the graves which on this one day of the veur, at least, tire visited. Certain It Is that the angel walks now with us and that the wreath of amiu nnth Is laid softly at the doois of those we love often and often eluilng these swift weeks. It Is so familiar, this Death. So well we know Its Insignia; so surely we recognize Its upproach and yet never Ih the mstery less. Never are we done questioning tho dumb lips, nner Is our wondering snt Islleel, never do we cense shrinking from Its cold breath until catth glows very gloom v to our eyes and until nil the sweetness Is drained from life, In this fait June sunshine, when the blood thrills the veins and when wo feel deep In our nnture that It Is good to be alive, It seems that Death should have no place- and somehow If we and our beloved have escaped Its shadow, we try to picture the fair world tin dimmed by its presence. "The infinite bliss ot nature We feel In eveiy vein The light and life of summer Blossom In heart and brain. But darker than any shadow By thunder cloud unfurled ' The aw ful truth arises That death Is In the world." M Once n year Is often enough for a Alemorlnl day. There are tombs In most hearts where ever Is kept alight the candle of blessed memoiy, where the How era fade not through the win ter of forgetfulness, nnd where the tenderness that belonged to life falls In unwept tears of the heart. But the custom of remaining much In the cemetery Is not to be encouraged. It was the demoniac who had his dwell ing place umong the tombs I confess to a feeling of surprise that this un fortunate was n man. Generally speak ing, a man. In or out ot his senses, Is not prone to linger longer In the grave yaid than clicumstances compel. Wo men like to be there. Just what the sentiment Is that chaws them thither Is dllllcult to explain. While, to be sure, many ate of the class that heait llv enjoy a novel which causes the leader to cry, there aie others, self contained, unromantlc and practical, who seem to gain similar pleasure fiom frequent and prolonged visita tions to the citv of the dead. That this chaiacteilstlc of femininity Is gen eral and pronounced was lllustiated by a Scmnton gltl, now a oung wo man, who, when a child, complained: "AInmma, why haven't we a grave? I think it Is too bad that we haven't any giave at all to put How era on when It Is Decoration day." Theie Is ceitalnly a gieat fascina tion to most women In the cemetery. It Is not altogether the cool beaut of the Eieen tuif, the billllance of the follnge, the quiet and restful air of the place Almost all women have at heait a certain morbidity Some Indulge It In reading ghoulish murder repoits, others In attending funeials, otheis In wondering "how she takes It" or "how he takes It," leferrlng to the probable Inner sentiments of the bereaved, while others reveal such tendencies by their evident enjoyment of meditation in the cemetery. Probably few canv their morbid musing to the extent of Amclle Hives' Barbara Dei lng, who "wondeted" If the buttons on the back of her deceased husband's coat had et begun to shine through his ribbed skeleton, but almost every woman has a attain of motbidlt mote oi less de veloped, If no moie than a habit of mildly wondeilng how soon otter her decease John will, marry again. John never botheis his head about a prob able successor to himself. He Is rea sonably confident that he Is a person of such Infinite worth and character that his widow will never dream ot replacing him with another. All these remarks aie prellmlnai to the advice to not spend too much time In the cemetei. H Speaking of cemetei les reminds me that we have two of the most beauti ful fillent cities to be found, but It Is a gieat pity that these twin burial places should be divided The methods observed by the Foiest Hill manage ment are not to be commended. Thcte is no sensible reason why -ch obnox ious legulatlons leganllng tho exit fiom Dunmoie to Foiest Hill should be enforced The Impossibility of passing fiom one cemetei y to nnother without going lound bv a great distance Is most distasteful to people who have friends burled In both places and It Is to be regretted that the nre not under one management and that the llbeial one of th Dunmore association Dunmore Is exquisitely kept. The beautifying of the grounds Is constant ly going on and no neglected iriaves sue seen, i here aie aimau no re strictions upon visltois, and surely these pi Iv lieges a-o respected and would also be In Toiest Hill Alay v.e soon see the da when no hideous fence divides the two picturesque cities of the dead. Theie is another thing sadly needed and that Is a public receiving vault, where space can be seemed foi the temporal tenting place of departed friends. One would think that If there was a jilac e on earth wheie quart eling would ien-e, It would be In tho grave Yet nn eldeily woman was heard to declare the other day that she re fused to purchase a ceitaln let lu the cemetery because tho neighbors weien't agreeable. Another grumbler had u complaint to offet tha a daughter-in-law whom she did not pai tleulaily adore. Insisted upon coveitng with floweis the grave of her deceased fathei -in-law eveiy Aleinorlal day, not leaving the bereaved wife space foi her own contilbutlons A certain woman lamented bitterly because the paitner of her woes re fused to go to the cemetery with her wheie sho always peinlsted In placing flowers on the tomb of n foimer hus bund. On the contrary, n widower, re cently remarried, objected to hav lng his young wife accompany him and have a hnnd In decorating the last resting place of the late wife, laying It wasn't "pioper," and thus oddly enough their first qunirel was over one to whom flowers or attention now meant little, but who would have been glad If more of both hud been j;lven In the other years. After nil do they not know about It thpse silent ones below tho llttlo mouudii, who surely somewhere knoiv so much more than we'.' Do thy net f loin their safe distance wi'.u ckir eyes sco tho pitiful attempts wo mako at lemembrnncc w.lca sowetlmoa wc! would forgot V Do not they fcu dc-pcr, sometimes, and know that tho heart'! blecdlntr for one that ionic not bacli Is a souice of infinite1 suffering n le.nij ns life lasts?

From the Philadelphia Prcs. The pieretit situation of national af falts will call vividly to mind some of the suggestions made in past ye.us as to the value to this eountiy of an in side wutei loute In case of a foreign war. Alost of these propositions have been dismissed with haidly a second thought, as the danger of a conflict between the United States and a Euro pean nation has been considered too l emote foi speculation. The feasibility of some of these suggestions Is. hovv evei, being demonsttated now by ac tual trial The entire scheme pioposed Is a most comprehensive one It contemplates an inside channel along the Atlantic ocean coast from Florida to Chesa peake Bay, the digging of canals ncioss the stutes of Alar land and New Jei sey to Delnwaie and New York bays, the use of the Hudson liver to Albaii. the enlargement ot the File canal to Buffalo, the lake loute to Chicago, tho di .linage canal now digging from that oitj to the Desplalnes river nnd the Mississippi liver and thence to New Oi leans by the latter ilvei. Tiom the mouth of the AIlsslsslppI liver a vessel could hug the coast of the Gulf oC Atexlco and with a canal cut acioss the upper part of the Flotida penin sula a vessel would Unci Itself where It started fiom without having been ex posed, except tor a few short periods, to attack from the enemy. It has al been shown that while this loute would be of extreme Impoi tunc e in case of a foreign war much of it would ha highly valuable for commerce. The cost would, of course, be latge. The most expensive part of the scheme would be tin dee-oenllif of the Erici caml fiom Albany to Bulfalo so as to penult th" passage of large vessols and the Improvement of the route by the way of Likes Erie, Union ami Allchlgan to Chicago, This could hatd lv be done for less than $150,000,000. The greatest difficulty to be overcomes w mid be the lack of water to supply an enlniged Eue canal to a depth ne eesaiy to float large vessels. Another loute bj the way ot tho Champlalns canal. Like Champlaln. the St. Law lence river and the Welland canal has been suggested, but ns this would bej paitly within the territory of a foreign; government Its value in case of wan would be problematic il. From Chicago to the Allssislppi liver po gieat diffi culties would be encountered. Chlcagr Is now bulldincr a canal 1C0 feet wider an-1 1C feet deep fiom that city to the Desplalnes i ever In illlnols, which will be finished In a few eais. The cost: will be about $3i,000,000. and for $15,000, 000 mine the lemnlnder of the route to tlw Mississippi river coald ba inada lead. Th" government Is spending a good deal of money on the AUssourl rlvef and Its moutliF and It probably will tint be called upon to spend moie If nn. Inside wuter loute should over be de cided upon. Fiom Louisiana to Floiida. no Improvements would h necessary. The cost of i canal across riorlda hat been estimated 'it $12,000,0(0, and prob ably $3,000,000, at tho most, would Im piove the chnnnels of the almost con tinuous sounds, hnjs, rheis and creeksi fiom the noithern bounehiiy of Florida to Clies'ippake IiTy. Fiom this hodv of water the canal Baltimore lias been talking of building ecross the Delawnio peninsula would btlng a vessel to Dela ware linj. The eot of this canal ha 4 been estimated at $,000.000 D'iawur bay and ilvei and the suggerted c-inal acioss New Jersey to New York lav. which could be built tor $2S,0iin ono, would btlng n vessel back to Its Halt ing point The total cot wmld b about $.'50,000,000. oi about double the probable cost of the Nlcaiagua can iJ In case of a prolonged foreign war with a nation about rqinl in strength to the United Stales such nn lmld' watei i onto would bo highly valuable and It might save Its cost twice ever. It Is doubtful, howevc'i, It It Is ever built. . Elephant Keeper Killed. Racine. Wis.. June :!.
