EUROPEAN BURlAL CUSTOMS.
The Dead Never Artayed in the Ordinary
Clothing.
“Until I came to this country,” said
an attache of a European legation to
a. Washington Star reporter, “I never
knew or had never heard of the cus-
tom which prevails in this country of
dressing the dead in the ordinary
clothing. The custom therefore strikes
a foreigner as very peculiar. Through:
out Europe the custom is to dress the
dead in what is called the ‘dead gown,’
a loose gown, or habit, as it is called
in some places. This is generally inex-
pensive, though, of course, there are
some exceptions, and .in these the
gowns are often very costly. The
comparatively inexpensive gown, how-
ever, prevails. Marle Teresa, the wife
of the King of Austria, according to
the legends, made with her own hands
the gown in which the King was bur-y
ied. "She also cut off her hair with her
own hands to show to the world that
she was a. widow. In many instances
old ladies have their dead gowns made
up for years before they are called
upon to use them.‘ I found the same
custom prevails in Ireland and else-l
where. It is a matter that. no one
should criticise, from the nature and
sacredness of it, but I am sure the or- '
dinary European will never make any V
change in this respect, and the dead
gown will always remain in use."
From a Personal Standpoint.
“I’m free to admit,” remarked Farm-
er Corntossel, “that I won’t never git
through demandin’ more prosperity.”
“But you are in comfortable circum-
stances. What do you mean by pros-
perity?”
“There’s jes’ the difficulty. It means
somethin’ different fur everybody. Ef
you’ve got a. mortgage, ‘prosperity’s’
gettin’ it paid off. Ef ye’ve got it paid
off, ‘prosperity’s’ ownin’ a cabinet or-
gan. _Ef ye’ve got a cabinet organ,
‘prosp‘erity’s’ havin’ enough to be able
to trade it in fur a grand pie-anno—an’
so on. without no limit whatsomever."
—Washington Star. ' ‘
Hts Promise.
“And you will never think of letting
me build the kitchen fire?” she said, as
she shook the rice out of her parasol.
“No,” he answered, earnestly; “I
never will. If it becomes necessary
we’ll move the stove out in 'the dining-
room.”—Washington Star.
Said more than Ho Meant;
Sallie De Witte—Do you play whist,
Mr. Lange?
Willis Lange—‘Me play whist'r Well,
I don’t think!

gotten that.—Brooklyn Life.

Admiral sicar'd Win s‘o‘d'xi Retire:
Washington, March 23.—-Owing to the
continued ill-health of Rear-Admiral
Montgomery Sicard, commanding the
North Atlantic Squadron, arrange-
ments are making for his detachment
from that duty as soon as it becomes
apparent that such a step is necessary.
Several weeks ago Admiral Sicard ask-
ed for a short leave of absence in con-
sequence of a severe attack of malarial
fever. His request was granted, and
he spent a short time on shore.‘ He is
again ill, and it is now feared that it
will be necessary to give him a shore
consignment or else a leave of ab—
sence.

A “Public Credit” ’Biu.
“Vasliington, March 23.—Senator Cul-
10111, of Illinois, introduced in the Sen—
ate yesterday afternoon a bill design-
ed to strengthen the public credit. It
is essentiallya war measure and is so
regarded. It provides, among other
things, that 50 per cent. of import du—
ties shall be paid in gold. The rem-
maining 50 per cent. is to be paid in
any other currency of the United States
that the Secretary of the Treasury
may delegate. Prominent bankers
throughout the country petition for the
passage of the bill. .

W. W. ASTOR’S FOUNTAIN.
Has Only One Riyal and Cmt More Than
250,0“;
William Waldorf Astor’s 111.: foun-
tain for Cliveden is the largest private
fountain of the kind in the world. It
is gorgeous and of enornunis expense,
and the only fountain which rivals ‘it
in size and appearance is that of the
En'llieror \Villiam of Berlin, the next
largest of the kind being at Moscow.
[11 these two fountains the architects
have developed the same idea which
dominated the plans for the Astor
fot‘mtnlu—a gigantic shell of stone in
a basin on the ground level, the shell
being horizontal, and when full of
water the surface of the water is about
on a level with the eye.
Mr. Astor. who expects that his foun-
tain will astonish people when it is
exhibited. has called it “The Fountain
of Love." The shell alone weighs be-
gigautic shell is made of nine pieces of
the finest Sienna marble. and is light
brown in color, but the huge blocks
have been so skilfully put together
that it is almost impossible to see the
joins. The nine pieces of Sienna mar-
ble out of which the shell was made
are the largest blocks of Sienna mar-
ble ever taken out of Italy. Like
large cut diamonds, they represent an
enormous waste of material. The
fountain in its architectural features
represents the development of one
idea. It is practically simple. and
devoid of ornate carving, excepting in
the three groups.
All round under the edges of the
shell rare and beautifui equatic plants
are growing. There is no fountain in
England rivalling this one of Mr. As-
tor‘s in size and beauty, and it is even
said by architects that as a.\vork of
art. and considering its size. it is the
finest fountain in the world. This
fountain has already cost, according to
moderate estimates, a great deal more
than $250,000.—Success.
A letter recently came—{0’ a Georgia
rural postotfice with the following ad-
dress: “To my son William. if he‘s
keepin Good Company; if he ain‘t,
Please Return. as There’s $2 in it.”
