It usually be- gins with the ringing of a sweet-toned bell, the voice of which is most agreeable to the ear. Immediately thereupon an acolyte appears, presently disappearing and returning again with a number of crystal chalices on a salver— also certain other vessels of like material. but containing mysterious liquids of the sort that are used in the performance of this rite. Next the liquids are mingled in the chalices by the devotees and a strange gurgling sound is audi- ble, while the participant who has officiated at the bell marks sandry hieroglyphics upon a small paralielograra of paper, which the aco- lyte conve: ‘ay.

Grewsome Experiences That Medical Students Have Sometimes. Everybody has always wondered why young Sawbones ever went in for studying to be a sur- geon. He is sucha nervous chap that it is a mystery how he will ever be able to chop peo- ple up with any of that coldness of blood which, whether natural or acquired, must be so in- dispensable a requisite in the practice of such a profession. It was only the other evening that his courage was severcly tested by an adventure which befell him at the medical college. He wasalone in the dissecting room, the other students having taken their departure some hours before, and his own detention was occasioned merely by the extreme interest he felt in the study he was making of certain im- portant muscles of the chest and side, The “subject” was an unusually fine one. having been in lifeatramp of very powerfal build, and afforded an exceptional opportunity for tomical observation. To get the right arm out of the way Sawbones forced it up with no | little difficulty and managed finally to secure it by fastening the right hand of the corpse be- neath the head. whereupon he proceeded to examine at leisure the muscular structure aforesaid. ONE HORRIBLE TALE. It was with no little surprise that, upon hear- ing a clock strike not long after he listened d counted twelve mournful strokes in suc- cession—so absorbed had he been in his labor. Midnight! He could hardly realize it and for | the first time he felt rather oppressed by the solemn stillness of the dreary place at such an hour. when all the city was asleep and grim death in mutilated forms lay all around him. With something of a feeling of dread that he could not altogether control he bent over his work, thinking to himself of stories he had heard of adventures in dissecting rooms, For instance, he remembered being told of a grewsome thing that happened to a medical student in a Philadelphia dissecting room, working like himself alone at night over @ eadaver, The place, silent as a tomb, was rather a nervous spot to toil in, and it is not astonishing that the student should have been startled when he heard a strange, unearthly sort of a squeak proceeding from the other end of the apartment, “The graves were opened and the sheeted dea Did squeak and gibber in the streets of Rou UNPLEASANT IMAGININGS, Like a flash the lines passed across his mind —the unburied dead lying, covered with sheets, upon the tables near. Suppose, upon turning around, he should find them all sitting up and looking at him, silently! Again that squeak! ‘This time there was certainly no mistake about it, Itcame from the farther end of the room and, as it was repeated at intervals ofa few seconds, he perceived that it was approaching, He looked steadily into the gloom that thick- ened toward the distant part of the hall, try- ing to pierce it, when suddenly there came into the edge of aspace on the floor that was lighted by a shaded gas burner three tables away a human skull. From tite skull there came another squeak and then another, as it slowly crawled—if one might so phrase it—across the lighted space on the floor toward the student. It proceeded by little jerks, uttering now and again the curious squeak described and grinning with its yellow teeth—one of which was missing, the student noticed—at the embryo physician, who stood rooted tothe spot until the awful thing got within two yards of him and then he gave one yell and fainted dead away. The janitor of the medical school, who slept above, heard the cry and ran down stairs to find the student lying on the floor of the dis- secting room and near by a skull with a large brown rat imprisoned in it. How the beast became so entrapped was mystery; but, in trying to make its a ithad dragged the skull all around the hall, squeaking plaintively as it went. GETS IT IN THE NECK. Young Sawbones, as he bent over the cadaver dissecting out an important muscle from the right chest, had got himself into rather an un- pleasant frame of mind over the recollection of this story, and had just come to the conclusion that he would spend only five minutes more over his task, when he was suddenly felled to the ground by a territic blow. He did not wait to see what had struck him, but made three jumps for the door, tumbled down a short flight of stairs and fled for home. On the corner just a block away he found two policemen, who promptly seized him on suspicion and demanded what he was ruuning away from, He explained as well as ine could and it was arranged that they should go back with him to the medical school and see if there were any ghosts or live persons about who had no right on the premises. Upon entering the dissecting room, however, everything was found in statu quo save that the right arm of the subject on which Sawbones had been oper- ating was lying by the side of the corpse. Evi- dently the fist had come out from under the head, where it had been fastened, and the rigid and once powerful arm had resumed the posi- tion from which it had been forced with an en- ergy that sufficed to knock young Sawbones down. SKELETON RA Sawbones procured a bottle of whisky froma private shelf and gave each of the policemen a taste of it. They filled their tumblers up to the brim with the raw material and drank it off without so much as blinking, while the em- bryo physician told them of a similar story he bad once heard about astudent, who, while dissecting at night alone, felt a grasp upon his shoulder and turming his head saw a skeleton hand resting there. Hie was badly frightened, but the explanation was simply that one of the fellows had hung the bones of an arm and hand, articulated together, from the gas fixture over the table todry. ‘The piece of string fasten- ing upthe end toward the band bad been singed by the match in lighting the gas and it broke later on, letting the hand fall upon the student's shoulder. Sawbones says that he doesn’t mean to do any more dissecting at night himself. Written for Tae Evexixo Stan. Duty Done.

Guava quit, Ecvapor, S.A., April 1, 1890, UDGING from the verbal and printed statements of all travelers who have visited this place everybody's mental experiences are about the same—exag- gerated ideas of oriental splendor, when the city is first seen by the uncertain light of gas or moon, as the steamer arrives after nightfall and drops her anchor a mile out in the river; of grievous disappointment | at a nearer daylight view, and finally, after closer acquaintance, of a more correct esti- mate of its advantoges and oddities, filth, beauty and shabbiness, Though thts harbor is one of the finest on the entire western side of the continent, Guay- aquil has no manner of wharfage and vessels | of whatever tounage must remain some dis- | tance from shore and await the convenience of the captain of the port, the health and cus- toms officials before being allowed to land any- thing or anybody. ‘The principal street of the city faces the river, extending two miles or more along its banks, other streets rising ter- race-like, one behind auother, up the sloping hillsides. Over every door a lamp is hung and when thousands of these lights along the levee and in the town are doubled by their own re- flection in the water the effect is dazzling, THE FASHIONABLE PROMENADE. As Guayaquil is the commercial emporiumot Ecuador and its one center of trade, the shops are numerous and well stocked, and this prin- cipal street ie its Broadway as well as the fash- ionable evening promenade, In the center of it towers the three-storied “Palacio” of its government, uplifting a quaint old tower, with aclock, like a warning fiuger pointing to the flight of time; and on either hand are long rows of massive buildings, whose white walls gleam like purest marble. Every upper story has a balcony, hung with canvas cur- latter rolled up when the is over; and the balconie en projecting outw 2 over the sidewalks, precisely like the Kuegde Rivoli, in Paria, The lower floors are occupied by the shops, ail gorgeous with lights and col- | ors, and the whole population, who remain in- doors by day to escape the heat, turn out en masse in the evening. Strains of martial mu- sic from the barracks, mingled with the clang of vesper bells, come floating on the breeze, and the river, like the streets, is alive with gaily dressed people, paddling about in narrow gondolas and broad-bosomed rafts, to the mu- sic of guitars and mandolins, folk-songs and happy laughter, VISIONS DISPELLED, But alas! The first peep of dawn dispels all visions of oriental, Parisian or Venetian mag- nificence, even with a mile-wide stretch of water between, and when once ou shore the disenchantment is complete. Those stately, marble-like casas, with their curtained balconies and beautiful arches, prove to be dilapidated, earthquake-shaken structures of white-washed mud and bamboo; the gondolas are mere dug- outs or primitive rafts made of logs lashed to- gether with vines, and the “gaily dressed popu- lace” are mostly undressed Indians and dirty half-breeds souching along in blankets and red flannel petticoats! Everybody arises with the lark in these trop- ical regions, where long siestaxat midday are the rule. Before su the officials had made their formal round, counted noses in order to besure that no evil-disposel passenger was bringing pestilence or contraband goods to peaceful Guayaquil, and then invited them- selves to breakfast with an evident eye to busi- ness in the line of sampling the ship's good wines and stores. Long before their tigurative blessing had been bestowed, with gracious per- mission to remain or depart, the vessel was be- sieged by swarms of native boatmen, who clam- bered up to the deck from their ¢ rafts and dug-outs, all jabbering and gesticulating like so many lunatics, hoping to earn some honest pennies by conveying freight and pas- sengers to shore. SCANTY APPAREL. The aquatic citizens of Ecuador seem quite as much at home in the water as out of it, and the business of boatman appears to be the most lucrative that can be engaged in. So far as cloties are concerned they are about as nearly ‘in a state of nature” as any humans we ever came across the best dressed among them wearing nothing more than a straw hat, a greasy string, with « blessed medal or charm attached, the latter about three inches sauare, resting on the breast like a small lung pro- tector or porous plaster, anda scanty pair of bathing trunks, as much’ resembling trousers aa ha fevane ts ae of acannibal, Among the Spanish and Indian rabbie we noticed a few Chinamen and Italians and x good many negroes, who have probably drifted down here from the mosquito coast or Jamaica, Most of them have managed to pick up a few words of English, which they dung in our faces regardless of con- text, evidently considering that accomplish- mentthe most powerful of recommendations, Thus among the jargon of str could be plainly distinguished the right,” “Me Americano,” ‘How do?” &c., yelled triumphantly with all the power of healthy lungs. A WATER MARKET. ‘The Guayas river at this point looka mach like the Mississippi in the neighborhood of New Orleans. Wo were surprised to find aj regular water market stretching all aloug the edge of the town, where boats laden with all manner of produce were drawa up closely as ossible, while the owners stood on shore shout- Ing the merits of their respective wares, All the city’s pri ions, raised in outlying gardens and plantations, are brought down the river on balsas, rafts, and thus exposed for sale. There were vegetables of all descriptions, fish whose like we had wever seen before, from snaky eels to enormous cow-bass, sold in slices; poultry which kept up a vigorous cackling in their cane cages; and all varieties of tropical fruits perfuming the air, in spite of the recking odors of their venders and the vicinage. Most noticeabie of all were the pine- apples, for which Ecuador is particularly famous as producing the best in the world— some of them large as an ordinary water bucket, white as suow inside and sweet as honey. No sooner were we landed in the midst of this Babel than the din of voices swelied toa roar, and we were beset by porters. donkey boys, cocheros, beggars and produce venders, male and female, each clamorous for money in | return for some commodity or service, real or imaginary. One made a dash at my hand bag, another seized an umbrella and a third actually ran off with the only child of the party. GUAYAQUIL, By the way, the name of the town and gulf is pronounced as if spelled Y-ah-keel, and of the river as Y-as, the former accented on the final syllable. the latter on the first. The city has present population of 40,000 or there- abouts, The streets are comparatively straight, most of them crossing each other at right angies. A few of them are crooked and narrow, lined with the most squalid of hovels and abonnding in vile smells, ‘Chere is not the slightest atte: at Kewerage in Guayaquil and enough filth lies loose about its streets every day to breed a pestilence that would ee late the largest of our northern cities. at though only two degrees removed from the equator and on a level with the sea, Guayaquil is reckoned among the most salubrious of South American cities—barring occasional brief epidemics of cholera, yellow fever and small pox, indigenous to these localities, con- fidently expected as flies in midsummer and al- most as little feared. That there is any degree of heaithfulness is largely due to the buzzards, those useftil and industrious scavenger birds that blacken every roof and refuse heap, whose lives are protected by law, a heavy fine being the penalty for kill- ing one of them; and tothe fact that the a jacent gulf has a tide of twenty feet, the great flow of water in and out every day preventing impurities from collecting. ‘The temperature hereabouts seldom risbs above 95 degrees, and always after 2 o'clock p.m. it grows pleasant as a New England morning in June, owing to a landward breeze called chandery, which blows directly over the ice-capped Andes, bringi: health and cooling to the coast that woul otherwise be almost uninhabitable, EVIDENCES CF CIVILIZATION, Though a full century behind the times Guayaquil is the only place in Ecuador in which an} ee of modern civilization exists, F hg march of progress is not at all to pocypenn ged ctaeaegs pee ee States, by citizens of the United a8 Were also its gus works, factories and day nearly destitute of native capital, most of its merchants being foreigners, Its com- merce would doubtless be much greater were it not for the alarming frequency of earth- quakes, The most princely mansions in Guayaquil, even the grand cathedral, the governor's palace and the city hall, are hollow squares of wood and adobe, plastered inside and out, and roofed with red tiles; while by far the greater number are straw-thatched skeletons of bamboo and dried mud, with no windows and often without doors, the bare earth serv- ing for flooring. Very properly in this climate the edifices are constructed not only with « view to withstand earthquake shocks, but to admit air, instead of excluding it. Some of the best houses have a face of unplaned boards, sawed by hand and placed upright, giving them all the dignity of brown stone | fronts on Murray Hill. Others are made by | planting tree trunks, previously hewn square, five feet deep in the clayey soil, with horizon. tal timbers framed between for the support of the floors and split bamboo nailed on for sid- ing. as we put on lath, The sides are then daubed with mud, and when it is thoroughly dried the fronts are elaborately stuccoed, and afterward repeated coats of white paint add the marble-like appearauce that misled us from & distance, THE POORER CASAS are like King Soiomon’s temple in one partict- Jar only, that in them the sound of the hammer was never heard, for not a nail do they coutain, their bamboo frame work having been tied to- gether with withes and the lattice foundation for the thatch of dried grass being held fast in the same manner, {In these airy mansions the reed partitions meet uone of the demands of privacy and windows would be superfluous, Fortunately it never rains along this coast, for one hearty tropic shower would disintegrate the whole city. The most violent earthquake has little effect upon this style of architecture, and if a few houses are tumbled down now and then it does not cost much to rebuild them. DANGER FROM FIRE. Some of these bamboo houses are furnished with real elegance—carpets, hangings and upholstered couches from England, pianos and harps from Germany and ornaments from France, Spain or Italy. The greatest danger to the town is from the torch of the revolu- tionist, before which it wouid burn like tinder, and as revolts are of frequent occurrence, owing to the divided public sentiment between the | 1 party and the papal element, the people live in perpetual apprehension. Over the entrance to many of the better houses are large squares of tin, painted to represent the flag of the country from which the owner hails a printed notice to incendiaries or revolu tionary looters, There is a commercial house whose tin flag announces in glaring letters that the owner thereof is a faithful subject of Her Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, and also adds that the inmates are prepared to shoot thieves on their own account. During the greater portion of the year the president of the republic does not live in his palace at Quito, the capital, but here in Guaya- quil in gloomy barracks, surrounded by bare- footed soldiers, where he can keep an eye on the customs whence his revenue is derived and find easy escape should eome rival get upa revolution strong enough to oust him. Armed revolts are epidemie in Ecuador, expecially in the interior, where the people of the higher altitudes are more patriotic and energetic. But the contagion seldom spreads to this point. A tumble-down fortress overlooking the town, the funny little gun boat in the harbor and a handful of hungry-looking soldiers serve to keep the ease-loving people of the viciage in perfect subjection. ‘The city supports two newspapers named, respectively, os Andes and La Patria. hey are generally issued at least ten days. behind date, or whenever it happens to suit’ the con- venience of the editors, for in this Acadia no- body troubles himself much about the doings of the outer world.

Los doce han dodo, Noche claro y sereno, iva la Patria!” ‘Twelve o'clock has come. The nightis clear and serene. Long live patriotism.” Fayxniz B. Warp, Saeed Se WHAT RIDERS SHALL WEAR. Good and Bad * Form”—Clothes to Wear in the Park or in the Country. From the New York Tribune. There are many ways of dressing for riding, but only one “correct” way. A man taking his canter in the park or making his way along a country road on a beautiful thoroughbred is obviously more conspicuous than when walk- ing, and if his clothes are bad they are sure to attract attention and provoke unfavorable com- ment. The English slang term, “awfal duffer,” is applied to the man who “turns himself out” to ride without an attempt to do the thing properly. That many wretched clothes, “shocking bad” hats and faulty boots and breeches are seen in Central Park is a well- known and deplorable fact. The slovenliness of some riders is attributable to indifference, but by far the greater number cutasorry figure because they do not kuow how to order the proper riding clothes aud patronize tailors and boot makersgthat have uo knowledge of this | branch of their trade. There never was a | tailor who would not undertake to make a pair | of breeches, and most of them declare they know all about it, when the chanees are ten to one that they never have seen a properly made pair, The result of the efforts of this class of | tradesmen is pretty sare to make the rider ridiculous, ‘The experience of many sc ers consists in having constr Loots of the sort worn for waiking by men with old-fashioned ideas and they know little or nothing about the riding boot. It is absolutely necessary that good, in tact the best, tailors and boot makers should be patronized if one wishes to appear well in the saddle, There are | two or three tailors in New York and about as | many boot makers who can “fit one out” prop- erly, and the man taking upriding should hunt them up and make sure that he has selected one called boot mak- sted hundreds of of the right few, ‘The beginner will find that riding fashions ate not hard to keep “well up with, for there is seldom any marked or essen- | tin ! change. For park riding the “top” or tall silk hat should invariably be worn, Lt is hardly neces- sary to fasten it on with acord except for cross- country work, The cutaway coat should be of a dark, neutral-colored diagonal worsted cloth | or Melton, lined with flannel of a weight suita~ Dle for the scason aud climate in which it is to be worn. For summer the silk lining is per- haps preferable. The turned-down collar should be of the same material as the coat, aud the breast, side and change pockets should be provided with broad flaps. The skirt is cut to fall clear of the saddle, and, with the waist seam, is cut hollow to avoid creasing. For park riding some men wear riding trousers with a strap beneath the instep, but boots and breeches seem most popular in New York and have received the sanction of many men of good taste. Breech: Bedford cord or whip cord, Shades of gray are worn by some, but brown is without doubt the popular color. The breeches should be decidedly baggy about the thighs and should narrow down to fit tightly at the knees. The extension below the knees should fit the calf perfectly, or when the boots are on they will prove extremely uncomfortable. The outside seam should be corded and four buttons anda little buckskin bow should show above the tops of the boots, If trousers are worn they should be of a quiet brown or gray cloth. With breeches, boots or leggings snd. shoes are worn. The boot leg should be as small as it can be and admit the foot and as nearly as possible cylindrical from ankle to top. There shold’ be coquettish wrinkles e ankle and the heei should not be extraordinarily high. The best dressed men do not wear tops for park riding. If leggings are worn with the breeches they shonid be of waterproof, box cloth or Melton and not of leather. They should button and not buckle on and should not be shaped closely about the ankle.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. Presidents, Vice Presidents and Cabinet Officers Are Entitled to Burial at Government Expense—Old Soldiers in the District, Teo. ——_. HE Congressman’s last perquisite is his burial free of charge by the nation, “It seems gto be supposed,” said a prominent undertaker to a Star reporver yesterday, with some bitterness, “that the funeral director scoops in the entire sum of from $2,500 to $5,000 paid for post- mortem attentions to a Representative or a Senator, but such is very far from being the case, My bill for the burial of a Congressman— and I bury nearly all of them who die in Wasb- ington during their terms of service—is from $500 to $800. This includes casket, carriages, embalming, robe for the deceased and all other os ministrations and incidentals, The alance of the expense goes for things quite outside of my province.” ‘Such as what, pray? ell, begin with, yon must understand that when a Representative dies here his mor- tuary affairs are taken charge of by the ser- geant-at-armsof the Honse; or, if itis the ease of & Senator, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate arranges everything about the funeral. The sergeant-at-arms first consults with the be- reaved fan and finds ont just what it wants done—among other matters how many carriages are likely to be needed for the ac- commodation of relatives and friends, This last point depends largely upon the SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL. PROMINENCE of the decensed. Sometimes ten carriages will do, while in other instances as many as fifty may be requisite. Anyway, the sergeant-at- arms, having learned what is desired, gives an order accordingly to the undertaker, who per- forms his part of the business precisely as in the case of any private citizen. The family has its option as to whether the funeral shail take place from the Congressman's late resi- dence or from the Capito]. if the latter is chosen the usual servicesare held in the House or in the Senate chamber at some hour, ordi- narily in the forenoon, when the legislative bod- ies are not in session,” There is nothing espec- ially peculiar about the mauner of the funeral. Asarule asortofcofin known as the ‘state casket’ is used It is of polished red cedar covered with black cloth, the handles, mount- ings and plate of silver, and the top composed ofasingle sheet of beveled plate glass, An outer box of cedar is provided for it, At the conclusion of the services the body is escorted to the railway stationand put aboard a train bound for the Congressman’s former home. Presumably one special car will be provided on the same train for the family and another one for the committee in charg THR COMMITTEE'S TASK. “Where do the committee’s duties come in?” “Its members, including so many Senators and so many Representatives, duly appointed for the purpose, have general authority as to the management of the funeral, The commit- tee does uot interfere with the sergeant-at-arms in hiv arrangements, unless for some special reason, but if anything of an extraordinary or unusual nature were required, ouly the com- mittee would have authority to order it pro- vided. The committee exercises a general superintendence, but its most important duty is to escort the body home and attend to its burial, If the distance to be traveled is great, the expense is in proportion, and that is the reason why the cost of such a funeral varies so much. Some difference is made also by the extent of the bereaved family’s requirements, as to carriages andso on. Mr. Mandail’s funeral last week was simple and comparatively cheap; the Randalls have always been simple and un ostentatious "people. “The sergeant-at-arms pays all the bills for these last attentions to a Congressman.” - “The nation pays for the funeral of @ Presi- lent?” “Certainly. In such acase the Secretary of State has general charge and the details of ar- Tangements are attended to by the sergeant-at- arms of the Senate and the sergeant-at-arms of the House, acting together. A Vice President's funeral is governed by the same regulations as if he were a member of the Senate. Likewise it is with a Speaker of the House, who has the same gratuitous honors provided for him as would be given any member of that body. A cabinet officer is buried at the expense of his department, which makes such arrangements as are requisite for itself. IN THE ARMY AN “An officer of the army who die: to $75 for his funeral expenses, a private gets #10, and a non-commissioned officer @15, On the death of a naval officer at a foreign station an amount not exceeding one month's sea pay is granted for this purpose. If he dies in this country he gets nothing, But these are by no means all the people whose burial expenses the nation pays, Any man who has been a soldier in the late war, honorably discharged, who dies within the limits of the District of Colum- bia—whether or not he is in good standing with the Grand Army—has a right by law to $50 for the liquidation of his undertaker’s bill. The other day a ver interesting case arose in relation to the payment of this $50 to an old soldier who was 80 unfortunate as to fall down. dead close to the District li 80 close, indeed, that it could not be settled off-hand whether he had died inside or outside, It was a question of $50, which nobody could legally pay for the government uuless proof was conclusive, and so surveyors were sent out from the corps of ineers to determine the point. ‘They found the man had died fifty feet outside the n expense of $1 a foot to his surviving Old soldiers residing in the District 2 to find out just where the bounda- ries run, so as to avoid getting left in this un- comfortable manner. QUEER FRENCH METHODS, “Tt is the law in France for the government to bury all of its citizens, In that country funerals are a governmout monopoly and the undertakers are military officers, ranking usually as majors or captains, The finer the funeral the higher the rank of the official in charge, who is dressed, as a rule, in black v vet. with much gold a sword and cockade. The burial bureau in Paris occupies one of the largest buildings in the world. If | you die there your relatives and friends are not consulted at all as to vour funeral. The burean upon receiving report of your death through the police takes its own steps to find out the social position and means of your fam- ily. In accordance with its information on these points the funeral is ordered. If the bureau decides that you ought to have a first- class. funeral you are compelled to have it whether or no, and if it is not paid for promptly the family goods will be contiscated. The sort of funeral chosen for you will be one of eleven classes, as the bnreau’ may direct, the expense descending from $5,000 for a first-class barial to $12 for a tenth-class interment. Paupers come in the eleventh class and are put under ound for nothing. After your demise your late residence will be draped with black inside and out by the authorities, and your relatives will be permitted to have no control of any- thing, save only achoice as to whether your body be embalmed or not. For this service $500 is charged. In this country the cost of embalming is from #25 to #50, but over there they pretend to understand processes approaching in effectiveness those of the cient Egyptians. No private individual in France is permitted to engage in the under- taking business. It is the same way in Italy, where burial is also a goverument monopoly, and in Russia all the embalming is done by the government, BURIAL PARAPHERNALIA. “The manufacture of burial paraphernalia is & most profitable industry in this country. Enormous establishments in New York, Boston and Chicago are devoted to it. These concerns turn out grave clothing in thousands of differ- ent styles, varying in cost from the uper robe’ at €2.50 to the swellest kind of a garment for cemetery wear at $100. Such costly cos- tumes—and the same remark applies to nearly all such articles of dress—are only ‘finished to waist;’ which means that they have no trousers nor skirts, Such equipments are su- perfluous usually, inasmuch as a casket ordina- rily is opened only for about one-third of its length. One factory in the modern Athens pea“ three hundred needle women who de- vote their time to making grave clothes, each one of them being employed exclusively in constructing a single pattern, of which du- licates are in this way turned out at a wonder- rate en poms of the dresses most elaborate lace work and embroidery, Of all of them ‘THE MOST OFFENSIVE SHAM is the popular o. being sewn under it, The establishment re- ferred to recently made to order two coffins, to be used when they die by a granddaughter of i the Baron von Wurtemburg and her hasband, at a cost of $5,000 apiece, They are of mahog- any, carved most artistically with such designs bolic of death as a spider that has caught a fends human skull out of which a lizard is crawling. Within a huge giass case on the second floor are shown full-dress grave cos- tumes in the latest fashions from Paris, draped upon dress makers’ dummies, with bustles, cor- sage bouquets and all sorts of frills and furbe- lows, such as are calculated in some degree to mitigate the pangs of bereavement. The latest thing in caskets is of bamboo wicker work, its object being to let nature havo a chance in its task of reducing the body to its primitive ele- ments—a disagreeable process which it is the function of the air-tight rosewood box and the new-fangled eteel ‘vault’ or outer case to ob- struct and prolong as mach as possible.” UNCLE SAW’S BIG SEED BARN. It is Doing an Enormous Business at This Season of Planting, DISTRIBUTING MILLIONS OF PACKETS OF SEEDS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY—IF YOU WANT ANT SEND FOR SOME—THEY ARE GIVEN AWAY WITH- OUT CHARGE, BOTH FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES, NCLE SAM'S seed barn is just now in a hum of activity. It is so for about a month every year at this sea- son, Go into it, a8 a Sram reporter did the other day, and you will find it a scene of bustle and industry—hundreds of women putting up with rapid fingers myriads of paper packages, men dragging heavy sacks | hither and thither and other busy workers past- ing and addressing labels, They must needs be quick, for within a few days @100,000 worth of seeds of all sorts have to be sent in small parcels to a million different individuals in all parts of the United States. That is the sum annually appropriated by Congress for invest- ment in germs of things vegetable, to be di tributed throughout the country, in order} that products of the may be improved | in quality, If you em get @ e°_by sitaply writ) out delay to the Department of Agr: making the request, Mention what you want and it will be mailed to you free of charge in a bundle marked “‘official business.” If you have no place to grow beans and potatoes in ask for flower seeds and you will receive enough to make your garden bloom for an in- definite period, It is stated that Uncle Sr m is distributing this year seeds of a better quality than ever before. Some time ago the seeds given away by the government acquired such a reputation for badness that many farmers would not even take the trouble to plant them, considering it im- probable that they would ever come up. But things are managed differently now, and the | seeds you get from Secretary Rusk are accom- a @ guarantee that they will sprout. H they are all tested, in fact, before they are sent off, and the manner of this testing is exceed- ingly interesting. WHERE THE SEEDS COME FROM. First, however, it will be best to tell where the seeds come from, Hitherto they have been bought from farmers and seed growers, who sent samples to Washington and received | orders on the strength of them, But this year | an agent has been employed to travel all over the country and buy up whatever seemed best, ‘The result is that ail the seeds now being dis- tributed are exceedingly fine and the depart- ment represents a certain potato that it is sending out as probably the most excelient a ticle in the shape of an Hibernian tuber ever obtained by cultivation. It never offered potatoes before this season, by the way. The germs of this wonderful vegetable will be sent to you, if you make the request—twenty- five “eyes” ina wooden box, ail cut up and | ready to plant. Of course, the notion is that | the farmer, observing that the potatoes grown from these twenty-five eyes are superior to any others of his crop, will keep them for seed, and other agricultural persons in his neighborhood will obtain from him specimens of the vege- table for planting, the product of all that par- ticular district being in this way improved. Such, indeed, is the whole idea aud purpose of the seed distribution—-that the vegetables and flowers grown in this couutry shall be as good and pretty of their kinds as possible. WHAT I8 DONE WITH THE SEEDS, The seeds bought of the farmers by the agent are séntto Washington in bags, andin this shape are piled in the storage department of Uncle Sam's barn, which is a big brick building just back of the main structure of the Department of Agriculture. An enormous room adjoining is filled with pretty young women sitting at little tables and measuring out seeds from sacks into brown-paper envelopes. Some of them use quart pots, others pints and soon down to mere thimbles with long handles for such little seeds as carrots. Obviously, too, the envelopes differ in size. Each ‘envelope, having received its measure full, is sealed up and a label is pasted on it telling what seed it con- tains, giving directions for planting them and saying at the bottom: “Please report results.” It is desired to know, you see. how the seed turns out. Finally the packets are pt up in bundles of fives and tens, and after being ad- dressed they are sent off in this shape. If you ask simply for “some vegetable and flowe: seeds” you will probably receive ten enveloj of the former and five of the latter, A eam) bundle of ten vegetables would very likely con- tain a quart of corn, haif a pint of beans, halt a int of peas and some small envelopes of cab- lage, pumpkin, tomato. pepper, radish, cucum- ber and beet seeds, Quarts are also given of buckwheat and lawn grass. A separate room in the barn is devoted to the re up of tlower seeds, which are purchased from the big seed houses, HOW THE SFEDS ARE TESTPD, But, as has been said, all the seeds are tested before being sent out, and the way in which it is done is very curions indeed. Shallow tin pans half full of water are employed. and across these parallel are laid thick wires in pairs, Each two wires have a strip of muslin sewed between them, so that when they are laid together across the pan a fold two inches deep hangs into the water. in this fold all aloug from one side of the pan tothe other seeds are put, and the water, rising by capil- lary attraction, soaks the muslin and causes the seeds togerminete. The forming roots poke their way in every direetion through the mus- lin and the plants grow fumonsly. One tin pan two feet long will hoid a wonderful number of sprouts, and it is a simple matter te count and find ont what percentage of those put in ger- minate, one fold of muslin being devoted to each kind of seed. Any seeds that do not prove entirely satisfactory fre sent to the; gardener of the department to be tried in | €1,% earth, Thus Uncle Sam is able to gua: all the seeds he distributes this year. A MINIATURE GARD The tin pan idea new on The tin pans are attended to altogether by a pretty euthu- siast in petticoats, who thinks it great fan to have a whole botanical garden within half a dozen square feet of room. She does the whole business on a window ledge, and simply in the water that way she has grown beans big enough to eat. And she ate the Try it for yourself, Use a good-sized tin pan from the | kitchen and fix wires and muslin in the way de- | scribed. W to the department for the seeds | you want and you are all ready to go into msiness. Own your own kitchen garden; every city family should have one on the window ledge. Flowers will do as well. ‘Two-thirds of the $100,000 worth of seeds go to Congress, each member of which gets about 5,000 envelopes of them yearly. Usually the department sends them off under instructions from the Congressmen. The remaining one- third is distributed by the department as it sees fit. Its generosity is often abused, for people | somotimes send as many as a dozen times for seeds in one year. As @ rule they get them, too, for it is the policy of the department tobe very amiable and to conciliate everybody, fer =o cana Written for Tue Evexixe Stan. A Sunny Day.
