Fnnprala are far less funereal in
sunny Hellas than in northern elimea,
according to the l'hiladelphia Treaa,
The tvyiical Oreek funeral of the poor
er aort is led by six or eight men, bear
inn between them an open coffin, in
which the face of the rorpae la fully
visible to passers npon the street. If
the bearers are in the tlreek national
costume red caps, white kilts, knife
plaited, and long w hite stockings, with
embroidered gaiters they certainly
look rather gay for mourners. If a
hearse is used it is not a black affair
with heavy plumes, bnt as gay with
gilding and red and, white paint as a
circus wagon, and so arranged that
the face of the corpse is visible. If
the family of the dead man are rich
enough to afford it, a brass band ac
companies the procession, besides the
group of Oreck priests walking by the
colfiu. There is always a crowd of on
lookers. Public notice of deaths and
funerals is always given in the towns
by printed cards, posted on the church
doors, lamp xstn and dead wals.
In .Athens the funeral of an eminent
man is always made the excuse for
something like a public festival. On
such occasions the state hearse is
brought out, drawn by four white
horses. This hearse is a high affair,
made in close imitation of a Corinthian
temple. The elaborately carved col
umns are gay with gilding, the roof is
white and gold. On every possible
pretext there is a military parade in
honor of the distinguished departed,
and the brass band is never omitted.
'When the late Austrian Minister,
Baron Koszed, was bnried there was a
parade in his honor of several regi
ments of Greek infantry, a lot of ma
rines from the Greek navy, Austrian
sailors and attaches; musio was furn
ished by Greek and Austrian military
bauds, the former of which wound up
the day by playing popular airB in the
Place do la Constitution to an audi
ence of several thousand. Fully half
tbe population of the city were gath
ered in dense masses along the wide
academy avenue, and saw the parade,
in which the gay frontier troops in their
Albanian dress were the most con
spicuous feature, and next to them
were the beautiful floral designs borne
upon long poles by men of European
dress. The King was present in a
plain carriage driven by a coachman
in silver and blue uniform, bnt he at
tracted little attention. Athenians
can see their King almost any day.
WaAhtngt4ns Statue.
The statue of Washington that
8250,000 one in Philadelphia is said
to have been modeled after the portrait
of the Father of His Country, painted
by Gilbert Stuart, and now in the
White House. If such be the case, it
is not Washington at all, below the
neck and part of the shoulders, for
Btuart painted only a bust portrait.
The completed figure was painted af
terward by W instanley, with Colonel
Smith, son-in-law of President John
Adams, as a model for the unfinished
body and limbs. Washington was a
man of splendid proportions, almost a
giant, and Colonel Smith was the only
man of that day whoould wear George s
clothes without a misfit.
In 1811, when .General Boss and Ad
miral Cockburn, two British firebrands
and wreckers, drove Dolly Madison
away from the White House, the wife
of the President turned back to save
tins portrait of Washington. It was
hanging on the wall, and caught her
rye just as the British reached the
threshold. At the risk of capture she
resolved to save it, and save it she did,
though the servants were obliged to
chop it out of the frame with an ax.

Coal From Turf.
Another plan for turning to account
forces of nature as yet dimly under
stood is reported from Soaudiuavio,
where a savant has discovered a method
of converting the turf into cool. The
turf is pluced in retorts and gradually
heated to 250 degrees. The retorts are
then closed and the temperature kept
up for seven hours. The tar and gas
products are thus retained in the coal
mass to tbe extent of eighty per cent.,
and the resultant is said to contain
sixty-five per cent, of carbon, six per
cent, of hydrogen, 3.7 water and five
per cent, of ashes. Turf coal gives
about the same amount of heat as sec
onds, and has been tested both in
Krupp'g iron foundry and for domes
tic purposes. One thousand kilos are
sold for 81-75, the cost of preparing it
being about seventy-five cents.
Not 8ulttl for Toreadors.
A bull fighter in Mexico on the
lookout for a novelty undertook to ap
pear iu the arena on a bicycle. He
did so, and all wont well till, describ
ing u graceful curve, he rode over a
stouo and the bull, seizing the oppor
tunity, lifted both bicycle and ride on
his horns and tossed thein over the
balustrade iu among the spectators.
The toreador was severely bruised, and
is going to stick to horses in future.

An Anpnrafrus Omelet.
Eggs seem to have a peculiar affinily
for asparagus, their combination being
possible iu a number of ways. An
asparagus omelet is one of them. Boil
a pint of asparagus tips, cut in pieces
a half inch wide, in salted water for
twenty miuutes, draiu, and keep on a
hot plate; beat six eggs until they aro
light and foamy, add one-hnlf tea
spoonful pepper and one cup of milk.
When the walnut-size lump of butter
is hot in the chafing-dish or omelet
pan, put in the mixture, cover, and

the pan on the stove, aud when it
comes to the boil Bkini tho broth thor
oughly and simmer for ten minutes,
take out the brains and put on a plate;
when the brains are cold cut into small
pieces and mix with three ounces of
bread crumbs; wash some parsley,
squeeze dry and chop a small tea
spoonful. Place a level teaspoouful of
butter in a stewpan, put it on the. lire,
and when melted add one ounce of
flour, half a teacupful of stpek and the
chopped parsley. Stir the sauce till it
boils and thickens; add tho bread
crumbs and chopped brains to the
sauce, and season with grated nutmeg,
pepper and salt. Beat the yolk of an
egg, add it to the sauce and stir over
the fire till cooked, thep turn the whole
mixture onto a plate and let it cool.
After an hour make the mixture into
cakes of equal size, dredging them
with flour to prevent their sticking.
Brush over with egg, roll in bread
crumbs and set in a frying-basket,
cook in boiling fat until a golden
brown; this will take about two uiin
ates, and the cakes must be touched
very little with the hand. Stand on
thick paper to drain near the fire. To

garnish with fried parsley.
Household Hints.
Vegetables that have been n little
touched by the frost may frequently
be restored by soaking them for a time
in cold water.
Put a tiny bottle of flaxseed in th
traveling bag. Should a cinder be
blown into the eye a flaxseed will soon
find it, and may save a great deal of
pain and an inflamed eye.
A cooking teacher says that the
whites of eggs can be beaten most
quickly if a pinch of cream of tartar in
the proportion of an eighth of a tea
spoonful to each egg be first added.
Fruit brought from a cellar to', be
eaten unpared should be rubbed vigor
ously'with a damp cloth to remove the
invisible germs of bacteria which
flourish in a damp, close atmosphere.
Clean finger marks from painted
walls with a damp cloth dipped in
whiting. Bub discolorations caused
by scratching matches with a cut
lemon, followed by the damp cloth
dipped in whiting.
Keep a box of powdered borax near
the work table. Add a little to the
water in which the dish towels and
dish cloths are washed. They will
wash easier, keep sweet longer, and
the borax will aid in keeping the hands
soft.
Brighten the colors in a carpet by
sweeping it with a broom dipped in
salt water, shaking well to remove all
surplus water. The broom should be
damp, not wet. Use damp earth to
remove the dust when carpets are
lifted.
Before broiling steaks open all the
draughts to make the coals bright and
clear. Hold the meat a few minutes
at first close to the glow ing coals, then
turn. This will seal the juices, when
it may be finished at a distanoe of sev
eral inches above tho coals. From a
broiled steak little or uo juice should
escape.
Loops for bringing up garments are
always wearing out and breaking, par
ticularly with children's cloaks aud
coats. To make a serviceable loop
cut a strip of kid from an old glove,
roll iu it a piece of coarse string, aud
sew the edges of kid neatly together.
This loop, fustened securely to the gar

Wash silver that is not iu daily uso

"" Heredity In Aleohollsin.
At a recent meeting of tho Congress of
Criminal Authropology nt Genova, HwltBer
land, Dr. Legrain, pliyslelon-ln-chlef of tho
Asylnm of Ville-Evrard, traced the fatal
law of heredity In alcoholism and gavethj
results of Investigation which have extend
ed over a long period of years. He de
scribed how tho disease is transmitted from
drunken father to nppetlto-enslaved son:
how In such degeneruto soil tho seeds of
crime and madness develop nnd rlpon. Ho
said ho had traced tho courso of four gen
erations of drinkers In 215 famillos with
these results: In the llrst generation ICS
families showed unmistakable symptoms of
degeneracy, ninety-three cases of mild lu
eaulty, eighty-eight who wore mentally un
sound, and fortv-fivo wero nt times danger
ously Insane. Iu many cases tho children
wero weaklings and died at an' early age.
Numbers of those who remainod were feeble-minded,
epileptics or a prey to evil In
stincts. In thirty families ho noted convul
sions, epilepsy in fifty-two, hysteria In six
teen, and meningitis In Ave; 103 families
our of 215 counted amona tholr members
victims of periodic alcoholio delirium. Fin
ally thero ware 106 famillos in wbioh marked
insanity had developed.
In the second generation ninoty-elglit ob
servations gavo llfty-ftur families with one
or more members who were imbeciles or
Idiots; In twenty-three there wero those
who wero morally lrroei.onslble. Extraor
dinary mortality caused tho children to dlo
in appalling numbers. At this stage the
parents had bocaino con mon drunkards,
with hut eight exception. In forty-two
families were ohronio coses of convulsions,
end epilepsy in forty. Insanity to a very
marked degree exists in twenty-throe fami
llos at present. In the other thirty-one tho
children are yet too young to give marked
Indications.
In tho third generation seven observa
tions gave a total of seventeen children; all
aro stunted mentally ond physically; two
aro already insauo; four aro subject to con
vulsions, two to epilepsy, two to hysteria;
one is afllletcd with meuingltia, and throe
with scrofula. To these M4 cases la H15
families might be added ninety-three coses
of tuberculosis.
llrltish and Amei-irau Hrlnk Illlla.
Iu spito of tho intemperate habits with
which Araorkiniis are charged, it is gratify
ing to know that less intoxicating liquor Is
consumed In this country per capita than
la Great Britain.
This is evldeut from the showing of tho
past year. Tho lirltish drink bill for tho
year aggregated 4710,000,000, while that of
trie united Mates looted up fMlil.tiOO.OUU,
The population of this country, however, is
nearly twkss that of Great Britain, und
consequently the consumption of intoxica
ting liquor in tun tinted Mates per cnplta
is almost one-half less than it is per capita
in Great Jlritain. liodueing tins statement
to figures, the nvcrago liritou, according to
last year s returns, pays out for Ills
drink, while the averiigo Americnn for tho
same ciualltv ol liquor pays out only eri.
On the assumption that normal condi
tions prevailed in both countries last year.
it may fairly bo claimed that the average
American is less given to strong drink than
the average Urlton. While this is eneour
eglnu. no doubt, to tho friends of temper

mits of very groat improvement. Atlanta

Ho Abolished Grog In the Navy.
In christening the last new torpedo boat
in honor of Admiral Kooto, Secretary Long
bos given due recognition, not only to
brave naval oflleer. but to ono who
abolished grog in the navy. The sailors
used to sing of Admiral l'oote as the innu
"Who raised our pay ten cents a day
And stopped our grog forever."
In 1843 Admiral Foote conducted a total
abstinence campaign nt tho l'liiladelphla
Nuvol Asvluin, where he was stationed, und
persuaded a number ol tlie Inmates to give
up their rations of grog. Then he lnereused

What Drunkenness Will Io.
Drunkenness will make you a pauper,

clines you to enooso begging lor a prores-

whut drunkenness does.
Alcohol In Cold Climates.
Dr. A. Pick, professor of physiology 1
in
Wurlzburg. savs: "The uso of alcohol
even when taken in moderate quantities.
has been proved to bo particularly Injuri
ous in case great puysicul endurauee is re
quired In cold climates. For deeades, con
sequently, It lias lieeu a fixed rule ot ex
plorers In polar regions a rule based on
experience not to give their crew any
aleoholie drink whtttever. Nnnseu, tho
now famous explorer of the northern re
gions, who reeently traveled neross tireeu

his undertaking essentially to the (art tlnit
he and his companions did not take u drink

Hopeful Outlook for Tempei'anre
The Washington Post, whilo admitting
that tho consumption of beer and domebtio
wines is increasing, is hopeful for the tem
pcraneo outlook, holding that tho btatlstlen
show a deereitsed consumption of dibtilied
liquors of all kinds, and that habitual
drunkenness is ou the doeliue. Tho Post
thinks that the greatest ugeuey in temper
ance work is the strong, healthy publio
sentiment condemnatory of drunkenness.
"Publio opinion is foreing men to bo tem
perate, by shutting the intemperate out of
public olllees and responsible private hii-
tioiis." While the real euro for lutempi.-r-aueo
Is the Gospel, aud plenty of It, It is a

A reporter recently cnlled at this famous
sent of learning and was shown into tho
room of tho President, Prof. Alvln P. Bor
noby. When lost seen by tho reporter Prof.
Baruoby was in delicate health. To-day ho
was apparently in tho best of health. In
response to an inquiry the professor said:
Oh, yes, I am much hotter than for some
tlmo. I am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about In rather a pe
culiar way."
"Tell me about It," said tho reporter.
"Well, to begin at the beginning," said
tho professor, "I studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the com
mon courso I carao hero, and graduated
from tho theological courso. I entered tho
ministry, and accepted the charge of a
United Brethren Church at a small place In
Kent County, Mich. Being of an ambitious
nature, I applied myself diligently to my
work and studltts. In time I noticed that
my health was failing. My trouble was in
digestion, and this with other troubles
brought on nervousness.
'My physician prescribed for me for
some tlmo, and advised mo to take a
change of climate. I did as he requested
and was soma Improved. Boon after, I
came here as professor In physios and
chemistry, and Inter was financial agent of
this college. The chongo agreed with mo,
and for awhile my health was better, but
my duties were heavy, and again I found
my troublo returning. This time it was
more severe, and in the winter I bocamo
completely prostrated. I tried various
medicines anddilTerent physicians. Finally,
I was able to return to my duties. Last
spring I was elected I'resident of tho col
lege. Agoln I had considerable work, and
the trouble, which bad not been entirely
cured, began to affect me, and last fall I
collapsed. I hud different doctors, but
none did me any good. Professor Bowman,
who is professor of natural science, told
me of his experience with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Polo People and urged me to
give thorn a trial, because they had bene
fited him in a similar case, and I conoludcd
to try them.
"The first box helped me, and the second
gave great relief, such ns I never bad ex
perienced from the treatuiout of any physi
cian. After using six boxes of the medi
cine I was entirely cured. To-day I am
perfectly well. I fcol better and stronger
than for years. I certainly recommend
tljls medicine."

Mr. "Tomredy."
A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal tells this story of the Brazilian
Minister in Washington, who is, un
fortunately, blind, nnd has Lis daily
papers read to him by a secretary, so
that he is obliged to form his impres
sions entirely by Eound. The other
night he sat at a club dinner by the
Bide of a well -known correspondent,
and in the course of au hour's conver
sation ho repeated the name of Mr.
"Tomredy" at least half a dozen times.
It was some little time before it
dawned upon the correspondent's
mind that the Minister meant Bpeaker
Heed. Honor Salvador de Meudonca
had never seen the name in print and
uever heard it pronounced iu any other
way thau "Tomredy," and although au
extremely punctilious gentleman he
fell into what would have been to him
an unpardonable error if he could Lave
known it. Speaker lleed sat near him
and enjoyed the incident immensely.

It ia a strauge fact that while pape r
is being used for dozens of purposes
formerly monopolized by wood, or even
a harder material, such as car wheels,
boxes, burrels, tubs, pails, etc., wood
is rapidly driving other ingredients to
the wall in the manufacture of nearly
all the cheaper grades of paper.
Paper floors are manufactured at
Eiusiodeiu, Germauy. Iu the form of
a pnsty muss the paper is spread upon
.the surface to be covered aud sub
mitted to pressure. It behaves like
plaster of pnris, and is said to be
noiseless under tho foot, and particu
larly effective iu preserving a uuiform
temperature. Having no joints, it
presents a perfectly smooth surface.

Don't go where there is a glare of

country and of the grass and trees is
restful for the eyes.
Don't go to an opt ician to got glasses

often done this way, and your eyes are

About mid-afteruoon, says au author

warned, too, that "early morning ex

The Ginseng Industry.
This "crop," together with ninrliet
values, aud often "exaggerated .reports
of enormous prices, forms a fascinat
ing subject. The interesting thiug
about it is that the amount shipped
abroad annually, foreign markets being
almost the exclusive buyers, is appar
ently steadily decreasing, while the
value is proportionately increasing.
According to some very interesting
figures compiled by New York Oil,
Paint aud Drug Reporter, exports of
ginseng root in 1890 were sennt iilK),

earlier exports were 283,000 pounds,

and as long ago as '70 550,000, pounds.
Exports in .'72 wero 400,000 pounds,

is nothing better for this purposo than Lyditt E. l'inltham's Vegetable Com

that tho Compound is constantly curing thousands of just such cases.
The following letter from Mrs. Marlow is only one of many thousands which
Mrs. Pinkhaui has received this year from those she has relieved surely such
testimony Is convincing : '
"My trouble commenced after tho birth of my last child. I did not
know what was tho matter with me. My husband went to our family physi
cian and described my symptoms, and he said I had displacement and falling
of the womb, lie sent me some medicine, but it did little good. I let it go
on about two years, and every time I did any hard work my womb would
come down. Finally a lady friend advised me to try Lydia K. l'inkham's
Vegetable Compound, which I did. The first bottle helped me so much, I con
tinued to take it right along. My back was almost the same as no back. I
could not lift scarcely any weight. My life was just a drag to me. To-day
I am well of my womb trouble, and have a good, strong back, thanks Ut
Mrs. Piukham's Vegetable Compound." Mmj. Lf M-lllLow, Milford, 111.

Why Will a Woman Throw Away Her Good
Looks and Comfort?
Wliy will a woman drop; out a
sickly, half-hearted existence
and miss three-quarters of tho
joy of living, when she ha

If she does not value her good
looks, does she not value her .

Why, my sister, will you suf

your back, those teariu(?-down,
dragging sensations in the loins,
that terrible fullness in the lower
bowel, caused by constipation pro

that these are signs of displacement, and
that you will never be well while that
lasts? .
