The Rnciont F.frvplinns celebrated a
funeral hy fenstiiifr' and drinking while
fho work of embalming which took
seventy days wnspoing on ;lmt through
out nil they remembered that no one is
exempt from death, and to remind them
of the fact a skeleton wn placed in the
banqueting hall, where it remained dur
ing the feast. Sar-rilices were offered t
the gods, and the llcsh used for food
among the priests and guests. In the
ease of n great lord or rich person n
costly monument was erected, but the
poorer clas-es were laid in the ground
sometimes with no embalming, and nt

The Hindoos burned their dead and
sometimes s.ierifircd human beings at the
funeral of any personnel? of note. '1 he
Mittoo, or widow burning, among great
per-onages was a very repulsive feature
of the ceremony. The ceremonies were
conducted nmid feasting, singing by der
vislies and dam-in-: by girls. Sometimes
the mourners lashed themselves with
knotted cords and sticks until they fell
exhaustel from exertion and loss of
blood.
There are in Africa almost as many
different burial customs as there art
tribes of negroes, each tril o having its
own peculiar ideas aud manners. The
ma'ority of tribes, however, bury the
dead and destroy all property belonging
to the deceased, even taking down the
house. If it be a chief of high rank, the
more baibarous tribes kill numbers of
slaves to serve him in the next world,
and bury his favorite wife alive in the
same grave with her deceased lord.
The natives of Peru placed their dead
in a sitting posture with the hind be
tween tlis knees and the arms crossed on
the breast. Kopes of bark were tighny
bound around the bouy, which was then
wrapped in cloth nnd again bound until
it resembled a mass of cordage rather
I than anything else. Hodies thus pre
served, nnd from which the air was en
entirely excluded, are constantly bcii.g
found nmong the ruins of the old cities
devastated by the Spaniards. The an
cient Mexicans observed much the same
custom, adding to it the sacrifice of
hundreds of human beings, in many cases
the victims freely giving their consent
to die, believing that by this means they
more surely reached the abode of their
gods and enjoyed everlasting peace.
Among our Indians the burial customs
diller somewhat, but all believe in a
Great Spirit, and in the mniu they are
alike. The Indians of the eastern pnrt
of the country east of the .Mississippi
buried their dead in almost all cases in
as.tting posture, wrapped in a blanket.
With the dead warrior were buried his
arms, ammunition and food for his
journey to the Happy Hunting Grounds,
and over his grave his favorite warhorsa
was slaughtered, and sometimes his dog,
in order that he might enter the land of
the Grent Spirit in a manner becoming a
chief of renown and of good repute.
The Indians of the West erect high scaf
Mds, on which they place their dead, in
order that they may be out of reach of
wild animals. The dead brave's arms,
cooking utensils nnd blanket are placed
with him for use in the next world.
The Hebrew manner of conducting a
funeral is very plain and simple. The
body is wrapped in a shroud and placed
in a plain pine cotlin, with alighted
candle at its head. '1 he candle is al
lowed to b'irn itself out and symbolizes
the dedication of the soul of the dead to
the Creator, who gave it. A simple
ceremony is held at the grave by the
rabbi, and it is a very rare occurrence for
any portion of the service over the dead
to take place under a roof.
A most curious sight to the residents
of Kew York is a Chinese funeral, which
is much the same when held here as
when the Chinaman is at home in the
Flowery Kingdom. It makes all the dif
ference in the world whether the dead
Chinaman is a member of the Order
Freemason or not, and whether or not
he is rich. If he is a .Mason his funeral
is the occasion of a grent spread ind dis
' play in Chinatown. A brass band is
hired to play in front of the rl-jad man's
;esiaence anaalsqaccou)anies the body
to TTil;'i are. It would seem that noise,
and not the appropriateness of the tune,
is the object in view, for the friends of
the dead man are perfectly satisfied, no
matter whether the tune be some Ger
man waltz or the " Houlanger Jlarch,"
and it is a fact that at a recent I hinese
funeral in this city lhe band hiied for
the occasion played "Sunday Sii-jbt
When the Parlor is Full." ( u the way
to the grave a prominent Chinaman sits
on the hearso aud (.caters pieces of col
ored paper ulong the route, the object of
this beinar to occupy the attention of the
evil sp r ts. wh ch are suppo ed to follow
the departed Chinaman until the grave
closes over him. In the cotlin with the
body is placed a pack of Chinese play
ing cards in order that the spirit of the
dt-ad man may have an opportunity of
making a little change during his long
and dark journey.
At the grave food is placed arouud
thecortin, but after the ten-moiiy is con
cluded th'S is taken to the lodge rooms,
and the friends eat for themselves aud
the dead also. No ( hiniunnn is ever
buried in this country whose body is not
foine time, usually after a lapse of two
or three years, taken up and carried
home to China by his friends. This is a
sacred custom among all Chinese, and
the body of a Chinaman who has been
dead three or four years is no uncommon
freight on the steamers plying between
San Francisco and China. Xeie Ytk

Locomotive Whistling..
One long blast of the whistle is a
signal for approaching stations, railroad
crossings and junctions. One slioit blast
of the whistle is to apply the biakes

Waiter for Cows In Winter.
Warm water for cows to drink in win
ter is beginning to be understood as one
of the essentials in successful winter
dairying. Even drinking ice cold water
in winter so chills the cow's system and
lowers its temperature ns to cause a
marked diminution in the flow of milk.
Exposure to a piercing 'cold draft of air
on leaving the stable nnd going but a
short dif tance to drink, plainly shows in
the shrinkage of the mess of milk.
Hence it pays to not only warm the water
for the cows to drink, but to give it to
them in the stable, or under shelter, in
severe winter weather. These things,
which have a solid foundation in com
mon sense, have not been thought of or
discussed, much less practiced, until
within a few years past. Hut they are
destined to become of universal accep
tance and no intellicent dairvniau will
think of dispensing with anything that

Mixing Feed for Stock.
It is well known that a vaiioty of
food for stock is better tbn any one
kind, partly for the reasor t noone
food contains the full elenv ' nutri
tion in their right propo. But
with ruminants, giving va. v is not
enouh. They will do better if "the dif
ferent kinds are mixed before feeding,
that they mav all come up and be remas
ticated. Neither the full benefit of hay
or grain is secured by feeding separately.
It is commonly supposed that the loss is
chiefly in the grain, which is too hastily
and greedily swallowed to be thoroughly
digested. Rut there is also a loss ni the
less palatable forage, which, being eaten
with liitle relish, does not ttake with it
enough saliva to make sure" of its thor
ough digestion. Whatever is eaten with
gocd appetite does the most good,
though this rule is scarcely of any prac
tical importance to any except human
beings. Dumb animals never eat unless
they are hungry, and their hunger is for
what has most nutrition instead of
dainties to tempt the palate. Badger

Csea and. Value of Clover.
All agricultural plants draw most of
their food directly or indirectly lrom the
atmosphere, and of those used none are
exceeded by clover in the largo pro
portion of nutriment thus derived. If
the stubble and roots contain more than
half of the inanurial value of red clover,
and if live stock only appropriate from
fiveto ten per cent of the nitrogen, and
the other ninety to ninety-tive per cent,
goes buck to the field or dung heap, it
certainly must be the best practice, as a
rule, to feed red clover instead of plow
ing it all under.
Owing to the great depth to which the
clover roots penetrate the soil, frequently
six feet or more, they help to briug up a
run-down farm. They bring the
valuable ingredients from a great depth,
and store a largo part of them in the
large roots near the surface, where they
are available for future plant growth.
Hed clover is valuable to enrich the land,
and hence to enrich the owner. 'It is not
excelled by any forage crop as a whole
some summer pasture for swine. FVr
soiling, a good growth of red clover is
very valuable, and it has often been
packed into the silo to feed ensilage in
the winter.
Profefsor W. J. Beal. in his useful
work on the "Grasses of North America,"
says thnt he knows of no more concise '
and valuable summary of the uses and '
value of clover than the one of the late '
Dr. Yoelcker: I
1. "A eood croo of clover removes I
from the soil more potash, phosphoric
acm, jnne ana oiner mineral mutters,
which enter into the composition of the
ashes of our cultivated crops, than any
other crop grown in this country.
S. " There is fully three times' as much
nitroeen in a crop of clover as in the
average produce of the grain and straw i
of wheat per acre.
8. " Notwithstanding the large
amount of nitrogenous matter of ash
constituents of plants in the produce of
an acre, clover is an excellent preparatory
crop for wheat.
4. " During the growth of clover a
large amount of nitrogenous matter ac
cumulates in the soil.
2. "This accumulation, which is
greatest in the surface soil, is due to de
caying leaves dropped during the growth
of clover, and to an abundance of roots
containing, when dry, from 1J to two
per cent, of nitrogen.
0. " The clover roots are stronger aud !
more numerous, and more leaves fall on
the ground when clover is grown from
seed than when it is mown forhav. in
I consequence more nitiogen is left after
clover seed than after hav. which ac
counts for wheat yielding a better crop
after clover than after hay.
7. "The development of roots being
checked when the produce, in a green
condition, is fed off by sheep, in all
probability leaves still less nitrogenous
matter in the soil than when clover is al
lowed to get riper and is mown for hay;
thus, no doubt, accounting for the obser
vation made by pastoral meu that, not
withstanding the return of the produce
in the sheep excrements, wheat is gen
erally stronger and yields better after
clover mown for hay than when the
clover is fed off green by sheep.

delight to grow.
U. "'I here is strong presumptive evi

the shape of ammonia and nitric acid,

nes, under ordinary circumstances, the

Farm and Garden Note.
The pig likes a clean pen.
A good mound of earth protects young
trees from mice.
Ileus must be warmly housed if eggs
are to be secured.
The sashes of cold frames should be
lifted ou mild days.
I'otatoes in pits need plenty of litter
or coar-e manure to keep out frost.
Keep the best fodder back and feed it
out to stock toward the end of the
season.
Clean and house for the winter all
toots that will not be used again till
nest season.
If you want to Mil bunfocka cut them
off closely aud pour i etrolcum ou the

In no business is attention to very
slight details more requisite than in
poultry raising.
Swill for hogs should be fed while
fresh, and not allowed to stand until sour
and disgusting.
From this time forward grass is worth
more to the pnsture for winter protection
than to the farm animals for food.
The crcat secret of successful farming
is to keep the soil increasing in fertility
by the abundant application of manure.
Spnrc-ribs to be used while fresh,
may be hung up where they will freeze,
and will not spoil so long as they remain
froen.
Onions are said to be valuable, as a
gape remedy for chickens. They should
be chopped up and mixed with the food
in winter.

Most of the apples now upon the gen
eral market are supplied from the State
of New York. Systematic orcharding is
a good business.
The dairy requires careful manage
ment to bo profitable in winter. Good
cows, good food, good care and modern
appliances make it pay.
The American Cultivator calls atten
tion to the great amount of waste there
is in feeding grain unground to any
stock except sheep and poultry.
According to a Southern correspond
ent of the American Ayricvltnrit a crop
of cow peas is one of the surest ways of
restoring vegetable matter to a worn-out
soil. l
The most critical period in the life of a
calf is the first winter, but it will bring
no serious risk if the animal has abund
ant food of good quality and good, com
fot table quarters, with freedom from
parasitic insects.
A poultryman claims that milk will
give far larger and quicker returns if fed
to fowls than if given to pigs. Milk,
he says, resembles in composition the
egg far more than almost any food it is
possible to obtain.
If land is plowed in the fall for corn in
no way can manure be more advantage
ously applied, according to one author
ity, than by hauling it out in the winter
and scattering it over the plowed ground
direct from the wagon.
Loss sometimes occursfrom not salting
pork promptly after it is cut up. If it
freezes it cannot be well salted until
thotoughly thawed out, and the expan
sion and contraction caused by nlternato
freezing and thawing does no good.
Major Alvord says that in nearly nil
cases objectionable odors and flavors do
not exist in milk as drawn from the cow,
but are absorbed from the air, the ex
terior of the cow or the clothing and
person of the milker, or while the milk
stands in the stable.
The consumption of mutton is increas

There are no secrets in sheep raising.
It has to be done by feeding. The sheep
have to eat something, and that some
thing has to be sweet feed, grass, grain,
vegetables, fruit, or anything that is
wholesome and nutritious, but must be
abundant nnd unfailing. Weeds, brush
and briars will keep sheep alive, but
don't ask sheep to grow mutton on such
pastures ; no, nor wool. .
A writer in the Brted rJ Oatette sunn
up the general purpose cow question in
this way: Any farmer who expects to
raise a calf and grow a steer needs a cow
which will bri g him a largo, growthy
calf; and any fanner who expecte to make
money raisingii calf or growing a steer
must get the calf from a cow which will
pay nt the pail the expenses of her keep
aud cure, in order that the calf may cost
the least money. .
No dairyman but knows that if his
cows are exposed to inclement storms or
compelled to submit to privations in the
matter of food they will immediately
register the etfect in a diminished How of
milk. Because these elects are seen at
once and produce an immo liate reduc
tion in income, they are understood and
to some extent guarded against by every,
body. Other cattle, while kept for dif
ferent nurnoaes for stock nur noses or
I for breeding feel the same detirivations
! anf' to t',e same degree as cows kept for
, milk, although they cannot express it so
piaiuiy nun so promptly.

subsided, soft cotton should be pased
between the flesh and the nail, and ifler
that is done it should be slightly satu
rated with the tincture of iodine, if the
skin is not broken, and the application
repeated several days, after which the
tenderness will disappear. It may bo
necessary to lift the end of the nail, and
this can be done by pressing cotton be
tween it e-nd tho toe. This treatment is
usually effective, and is attended with a
little pain as any which can be sug
gested. JVVte l'vrk JNeicj.
New York's Unclaimed Dead.
Fully one thousand bodies are utilised
each year for dissecting purposes in New
York City alone, says a correspondent.
Each medical college is entitled to a
certain number by law, in proportion to
the number of students it represents.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons,
which is the medical department of
Columbia College, has over seven
hundred students. This representing
the largest number of medical students
in ony one Institution, tho college has
the claim on the greatest number of
"cadavers." Two hundred and sixty are
required each college session. The
I'niversity of the City of New York,
which has six hundred students, requires
about '210; Bdlevue Hospital Medical
College requires two hundred, and the
reinnining three hundred are divided
among the minor institutions. Besides
the number of bodies, or, to use the
medical term, "cadavers," which serve
for anatomical study, at least one
hundred more are used to illustrate
lectures upon operative surgery. The
object of this is to teach stnde-ts to
operate upon dead subjects before ex
perimenting upo i the living. All these
bodies are unclaimed dead, which aro
kept, in accordance with tho law, for
three days for identilit ation before being
disposed of. However revolting the
idea of dissecting may be, it isabsolutely
essential to the study of medical scier e.
Forgot She Had Grown.
Tatty made a long visit nt auntie's
house one summer. She was such a little
thing that tho upper drawer of a low
bureau was quite a reach for her arms.
The nct summer she came again. The
first time she went to th ) upper drawer,
she called out: "() aunty what have you
done toyour bureau? Have you hid it
cut down;" Fatty forgot that she had
spent n whole year in growing tall.

Prisctixa spinning, long ago, sighs as she thinks how soon her linen
Will lose its glossy luster, when the wash it once or twice has been in.
She does not know that in the soap the evil lies that makes her suffer.
Its great excess of alkali, which cuts the fiber, makes it rougher.
Our modern maidens need not sigh since Ivory Soap has been invented,
Containing no free alkali by which the ruin is prevented.
For linen washed "with Ivory Soap in snowy beauty'll ne'er diminish,
But always, while it lasts, preserve its pristine gloss and lustrous finish.
A WORD OF WARNING.
Thert are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as tha Mve-ryV'
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the ffcnuiiie. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
