HOW BURIALS AT SEA FROM OCEAN LINERS ARE MANAGED. Little Cere nonj anil lln-ty Funeral* the Huie When Sailor* or Steerage I’amenurr. Ire the Victim* Ef fort* to Cheat (he Shark*. There is no place when- death is more unwelcome than on board a passenger steamer. and between the death and burial of a sea traveler the melancholy influence of the event extends to every one on board. The limitations of space are very likely responsible in part for this, for there is the feeling that until the body has been cast into the arms of the sea there is no getting away from it. So spake a man who has crossed the Atlantic ocean many times and who on more than one occasion had been a pas senger on one of the big liners when death had claimed a victim from among those on beard. Sailors dread a death on board their vessel as much as anything, and when one occurs they are all anxiety to ren der the body the last service, and this fact is often responsible for the haste and scant consideration with which burials at sea are too often conducted. But the days of such ceremonies are fast dying, and efforts are now being made which will permit of the body be ing carried for the remainder of the journey after death and properly buried on land. Even now it is generally only sailors and steerage passengers who are buried at sea, and frequently these are cast to the waves without so much as the ves sel being slowed down and within an hour or two of their death. Often enough a death occurs in a ves sel without the fact becoming known to more than one or two of the crew or steerage passengers. Every effort is made to keep the event secret, and in the stillness of night, when better class passengers are comfortably curled up in their bunks, a little band of men, mov ing like shadows across the deck, bear a body from below, and, while the vessel is plowing the sea, the mortal remains wrapped in canvas or inclosed in a crudely made box, are quietly slipped over the ship’s side into the mysterious deep. The presence of a dead body on board has sometimes not even been suspected by the passengers until some one has noticed the sharks that are following, for it is no mere sailor’s story that sharks know when a ship contains a corpse. A vessel carrying a dead body and passing through waters frequented' by sharks is almost sure to be followed by one or more of those fishes, if it does not outspeed them. Rather than bury a corpse while sharks are following a vessel the captain will sometimes have the bedy placed in the ice chamber and full steam put on the engines until the hungry fishes have dropped astern completely. In one case at least a body was ac tually cremated on board by the cap tain’s orders because of the sharks. But sharks are not often obstacles to prompt burial, and, generally speaking, when a death occurs at sea, the body is slip ped into the water at night with none to witness the proceeding but a couple of the crew and the captain, who reads an abridgment of the service from the prayer book. The manner of burial of course de pends greatly upon the captain's own feelings in respect to the dead, and it must be acknowledged that these feel ings are in some cases all that they should be. Some captains have the greatest objection to “dumping” a dead body into the sea and, when it is un avoidable, will do their uttermost to condui t the ceremony with all possible revere. :e and respect. For all that, there is always the feel ing of the ship's crew and the melan choly effect of the presence of a corpse to be reckoned with, and the argument that more consideration is due to the living than the dead often prompts a captain to “dump” a steerage passenger in the dead of night without mention ing the event to more than a couple of hands. Thus it often happens that while a concert or a private theatrical perform ance is going on in the saloon the cap tain is engaged making arrangements for the burial of some unfortunate crea ture. The “Change of Air” Core. “There is no sense,” said a New York physician, who has passed the days when he must practice even if he does not wish to, “in the haphazard way in which a patient is sent away from home to exhaust his strength and spend his money in the hope that a change of air will do him good. There is no use in sending a person away to die. “Many physicians are not at all con siderate about this sort of thing. There are some cases in which the influence of climate is a potent factor in the treatment of certain diseases, but not half so many of them as is generally supposed. Quiet and rest at home, plen ty of sunshine, good food and pure air are worth far more than a change of climate, that is so often recommended as a cure till.’’—New York Herald. Condensed. “Do yon buy condensed milk, mad am ?” “I presume that we must, but I never thought of it before. I always order two quarts and pay for two quarts, but it never measures more than three pints."—Detroit Free Press. A custom peculiar to Buddhists is that of wandering about the country with hammer and chisel and carving holy symbols upon rocks by the wayside. The term “filthy lucre” originated in Scotland and referred in the first place t.> the well worn £1 notes of that country. > I ik* t .,, BOILED IT DOWN The Sittit rt« It Wax DeKiancd nnd Ml It t i>|ien >•<■<!. A journeyman hatter, a companion of Dr. Franklin, was about to set up in business for himself and wished to have an appropriate sign to put over his door. He designed one that bore the fol lowing inscription: “John Thompson, Hatter, Makes and Sells Hats for Ready Money.” Following this was a picture of a hat. But he was not quite certain of the suitability of his sign, and he de cided to submit, it to his friends for their criticism. The first that he showed it to object ed to the word “hatter,” because it was followed by the words “makes hats,” which sufficiently explained that he was a hatter. The word was struck out. The next said that the work “makes” was useless, because the customer# would not care who made the hats so long as they were satisfactory and the price was not too high. He struck that out also. The third man said that the words “for ready money” might as well go, as it was not the custom to sell hats ou credit; every one who bought expected to pay. These words taken out, and the inscription read, “John Thompson Sells Hats. ” His next friend said “sells" might as well come out. because nobody expected him to give them away. What, then, was the use of the word? “Sells” was accordingly struck out and “hats” was all that remained, following “John Thompson.” Even this, short as it was, was fur ther diminished, and the sign finally’ stood, “John Thompson,” with the fig ure of the hat following it.—Harper's Round Table. HIS THREE WIVES. They Were All In One Picture, but Did Not Stay There. Allan Cunningham, in his “Lives of British Painters,” tells a story of Cop ley, the father of Lord Chancellor Lynd hurst, which reveals what a portrait painter endures from the vanity and eccentricity of his sitters. A certain man had himself, his wife and seven children painted by Copley in a family piece. “It wants but one thing,” said the man, on seeing the finished picture, “and that is the portrait of my first wife—this one is my second.” “But,” replied tho artist, “she is dead. What can I do? She must come in as an angel. ” “Oh, no; no angels for me. She must come in as a woman.” The portrait was added, but several months elapsed before the man again called at Copley’s studio, and when he did, a strange lady held on to his arm. “I must have another sketch from your hand, Copley,” said he. “An ac cident befell my second wife; this lady is my third, and she has come to have her likeness included in the family pic ture. ” The painter introduced the likeness of wife No. 3, and the man expressed himself satisfied with the portraits of his three spouses. But the lady remon strated. Never was such a thing heard of. Her predecessors must go. The artist painted them out; then the man disputed the price. Copley sued him, and his son, the future Lord Lyndhurst, signalized his call to the bar by gaining his father’s cause. You Can Boil Anything. A successful experiment was made at Columbia university in boiling away a silver dime. The dime was cut in strips and laid in the cup of one of the car bons of the are light. The pointed car bon of the arc was placed above this and a strong current turned on. Under the intense heat the dime melted, sim mered and then boiled like water. In two minutes it had boiled away into vapor. Professor Pupin, who conducted the experiment, declared any substance on earth, even granite rock, may be boiled away in similar fashion if only sufficient heat is brought to bear on it. He also stated that any gas or liquid would freeze if it could be submitted to sufficient cold. Compliments of a Corpne. “I spent one summer at an obscure place in the Virginia mountains,” said the business woman to me, “and I took with me a maid whose home was some where near. One day she came to me and asked for a day’s leave. I asked her where she was going, and she very proudly drew from her pocket a sheet of paper on which was written, with a superabundance of flourishes: “ ‘Miss Selina Jackson respectfully requests the honor of your company at the funeral of Miss Amanda Juliana Jackson, Friday morning at 10 a. m. Compliments of the corpse. ’ ”—Wash ington Post. A Sure Test. The schoolmaster put to his class the question: “Two jars of gas, one con taining nitrogen and one carbon di oxide, are given. How may the gases be discriminated?” One eager little pupil said: “Get a man, and let him take a deep bieath of both. When he gets the carbon dioxide, he'll die. That's the way to tell. ” The Pressure Cure. Dr. Negro of Turin has succeeded in curing 100 out of 113 cases of sciatica by digital pressure over the painful part. The pressure is applied with all possible force for 15 or 20 seconds and is repeated for same length of time after an interval of a few minutes. In many cases six treatments are all that is necessary. Quite n Side Show. Missouri is said to l>e the best circus state in the Union.

We hadn’t gone far before a middle aged man, also well dressed and well groom ed, appeared some distance in front of us down the gravel walk, and he beck oned to my companion. The young man excused himself courteously and went up to the middle aged man The two conversed earnestly together for a few minutes, and then, linking arms, what do they do but coolly walk off, leaving mo standing there in the mid- I die of the gravel path, a good ileal non plused. “ ‘Surprised over tho way they de serted you?’ said a voice right back of me. ‘Yon mustn't mind a little thing like that, though. Both of those men are as crazy as loons. ’ “I turned around, and there, stand ing behind a hedge about ten feet to my rear, was a little old gentleman, neatly dressed in black, and with a quizzical smile on bis features. “‘Surely,’ I said, ‘you cannot mean that that rational speaking, pleasant mannered young man who was conduct ing me about the grounds is bereft of his wits?’ “ ‘Mad as a March hare, ’ repeated the old gentleman flatly. ‘lncurable case. Harmless, but incurable. The man that he went off with is also a very sad case—very. Thinks he is the Maharajah of Bludblud, or something like that. But you mustn’t mind ’em.

If you care to, I’ll just show you around. lam one of the board of visit ors of this institution and just happen to be here in my unofficial capacity to day. ’ “Much marveling over what the old gentleman told me, I fell in with him, and we rambled around the huge gera nium arbors, and finally entered the enormous glass building where the cul tivation of violets is carried on. “‘Nice array of flowers, isn't it?’ the old gentleman inquired of me, wav ing his hand at the beautiful beds of violets in bloom. Tam not inordinately vain, my friend. I hope yon will under stand, and yet I cannot but congratu late myself upon the introduction of this violet raising feature here, for I myself was responsible for it and only succeeded in having this hothouse con structed after enormous exertions with the authorities of the institution.’ “I congratulated the old gentleman upon the result of his labors and was just about to ask him to take me into the main building and introduce me to the superintendent when he suddenly excused himself, saying that he had left his spectacles on a bench in the gardens and would be back directly. I waited for him for fully ten minutes, but as he did not return I started on out of the glass building. “ ‘You didn’t really expect him back ?’ I heard a voice say, and then a pleasant faced man, dressed as a la borer and carrying a watering pot, came from behind a group of palms. He spoke with a Scotch brogue. “ ‘The old gentleman you were with is very bad up here,’ said the man with the watering pot. touching his f re head. ‘He's been here for 2') years, and he fancies he owns the place. lam the head gardener here, ami he tries his best to run me. But he don't -no, sir, he don't. He can’t.

As I was about to walk up the steps to the entrance a man with side whiskers and rather a sharp, piercing eye walked up to me. “ ‘You have business here?’ he in quired of me in a rather sharp tone. Well, I thought he might be another of ’em, and so I kept right on He fol lowed me up the stairs and into the office, and I had to hand my letters to him.
