The usual country inn alfever Ven- ezuela reminds me of those of Mexico, Spain and even Northern Africa, for the Moors introduced their mode of living and traveling into Spain, and the Spaniards adopted it for their own country as well as for the colonies, which they founded only after ‘tiie downfall of the Moors. All these posadas, or fondas, or fonditas, are built sh square shape, with an interior courtyard, frequently adorned with flower beds and palm trees, and suf- rounded by galleries. The traveler, after descending from his horse, is usually shown to one of the large, airy rooms with stone floor and high ceil- ing, in which three or four folding beds, ! consisting of canvas stretched over a wooden frame, and probably one or two chairs, ure the only pieces of furni- | ture. In larger towns of 6,000 to 8,000 inhabitants there will be even a wash table, but its presence is not insisted upon by the weary traveler, who can as ‘well do his washing in the river or the acequia. Sometimes one room has to be shared with two or three fellow- travelers, invariably men, for [ stopped at posadas where female travelers have not been seen for years. There are, of course, no glass windows in any of the country “hotels,” hat the windows are barred with heavy iren gratings and wooden staves. On convenient places under the ceiling there are iron hooks and rings, for the weary trav- eler frequently carries his own ham- mock, on which, suspended across the room, he prefers to pass the nights sheltered against the attacks of centi- pedes, scorpions or minor bloodthirsty things, but without defense against bats, some of which are very large. I did not sleep in many rooms without a few bats as room mates. Even in pri- vate houses on the haciendas of the wealthier planters they flitted about the room. When they became too familiar and approached my face I got up, and, shaking a sheet, 1 drove them out of the window; but they invariably returned, without, however, ever set- tling down on my face. One might be able te keep snoring fellow-travelers out of the room by en- gaging all the beds, but sometimes, when guests are numerous and accom- modations scanty, one can not help sharing the room with them. The al- miuerzo and the comida are not the best, but there are always eggs, chicken, salgd and coffee to be had, while in the larger towns red wine is included in the meals and not paid for extra. The reader will probably not be tempted to undertake any travels in Venezuela, but I must confess I have fared worse in many countries with the reputation of being far more civilized than our sister republic. Travelers after riding on horseback day after day, sometimes for weeks, are usually so tired that they will sleep anywhere and so hungry that they will eat any thing. Asa precaution against acci- dent, I invariably carried a bottle of brandy and a few tablets of chocolate along.—N. Y. Sun. : —_—— soo SINGULAR FUNERALS. Barlal Rites Observed in Different Parts of the Globe. It makea all the difference in the world whether a dead Chinaman is a member of the order of Freemasons or not, and whether or not he is rich. If he is a Mason his funeral is the occa sion of a great spread and display in Chinatown. A brass band is hired to play in front of the dead man’s resi- dence, and also accompanies the body to the grave. It would seem that noise, and not the appropriateness of the tane, is the object in view, for the friends of the dead man are perfectly satisfied, no matter whether the tune be some German waltz or the **Boulan- ger March.” On the way to the grave a prominent Chinaman sits on the hearse and scatters pieces of colored paper along the route, the object of this being to occupy the attention of the evil spirits which ure supposed to follow the departed Chinaman until the grave closes over him. In the coffin with the body is placed a pack of Chinese playing cards, in order that the spirit of the dead man may havean opportunity of making a little change during his long and dark journey. At the grave food is placed around the coffin, but after the ceremony is con- eluded this is taken to the lodge-rooms and the friends eat for themselves and the dead also. No Chinaman is ever buried in this country whose body is hot some time, usnally after the lapse of two or three y earried home to China by his friends.

Sacrifices were offered to the gods and the flesh used for food among the priests and guests. In the case of a great Jord or rich person 2 costly monument was erected, but the poorer classes were laid in the ground, sometimes with no embalming and at times even without a ceffin. There are in Africa almost as many burial customs as there are tribes of negroes, each having its own peculiar ideas and manners. The majority of tribes, however, bury the dead and de- stroy ali property belonging to the de- ceased, even taking down the house. If it be a chief of high rank the more barbarous tribes kill numbers of slaves te serve him in the next world and bury his favorite wife alive in the same grave with her deceased lord. The Hindoos burned their dead and sometimes sacrificed human beings at the funeral of any personage of note. The suttee. or widow-burning, among ureat personages was a very repulsive feature of the ceremony. The ceremo- nies were conducted amid feasting, singing by dervishes, and dancing by girls. Sometimes the mourners lashed themselves with knotted cords and sticks until they fell exhausted from exertion and 1038 of bloud.—Chicago News. the werk nny, —_——_2 ¢ ——— FASHION MISCELLANY. Children’s Cloaks and Dresses — Demt- Trained Tollets—Tea Gowns. Velvet, velveteen and cloth are fash- ionable materials for children’s cloaks and dress-s, but plush has been used in such poor qualities that even the finest silk plushes have lost favor. The velveteens wear well and are inexpen- sive, and are to be had in all the fash- ionable Gobelin shades. Velvet gowns for dancing parties are made with high waist, puffed sleeves, and a full skirt, and have deep pointed collar and cuffs of Irish lace or of embroidery. ‘The pretty cashmere and crepeline dresses are, however, quite as effective, and are to be commended for their simplicity and because less costly. The necks of new guimpe dreases are cut in V-shape, and the guimpe may be of lace for dressy occasions, though the finely tucked muslin and embroidered guimpes are preferred by most moth- ers. A polonaise over-dress with a guimpe in V-shape is new for cash- meres and crepelines; the front has three braided length-wise tabs, and the flat sides have large square pockets prettily braided; the skirt is in aceord- ion folds or in large kilt plaits. Warm leggings for the street are of tan-col- ored morocco or of undressed kid, but- toned their entire length on the out- side, and extending up under the kilt skirt. Pretty demi-trained toilettes for i young ladies are made of white wool 7 is very ars, taken up and and silver braiding. The skirt is full and straight, with ‘a wide braided bor- der across the front and sides at the foot. The waist is high on the shoul- ders, but open in a V in front, the full- ness being gathered along the shoulder seam and at the point in front and back. A band of braiding edges the point of the neck, and much wider bands are set in the uniler-arm seams, and sloping gradually narrower to the point at the end of the front. The sleeves are slightly full, with a braided point torming a cap at the top, and another forming a cuff. Similar toilettes are made up of crepeline, pale gray, chamois-color, pearl, sky blue, or pink, or darker old-rose, with the trim- ming formed merely of moire of the same color orelse ivory white; a sash of two loops and ends is added in the back. Round waists belted with ribbon are worn by debutantes, and may be made quite plain if the wearer is plump, or gathered fall on the shoulders if she is slight. The crossed-over corsages, dif- ferent on each side, are on more elaho- rate dresses, as one of chamois-colored silk crossing full from the right side to open on the left side, which is made up of white and gold embroidery; the skirt is full, opening also on the left over an under skirt of the white and gold. A new feature in tea gowns is that of having the full front of some becom- ing ¢ shade, while the gown itself ight, as pale Nile green moire for the gown, with the front of very dark green faille.
