A Wedding Decoration.
Whether it was a mistake or a joke
or simply an example of bad taste hi
a question that is still puzzling most
of the passengers. But no matter
about that. It certainly was a floral
masterpiece. Full four feet it stood
from the ground, in the form of a
cross. Roses white and roses red
composed the body of the cross, and
dainty white blossoms and green
leaves formed the trimmings. In the
center the word “Peace” was spelled
out in rosebuds.
Everybody in the car admired the
offering, and when the boy set it
down on the floor all leaned forward
to examine it more closely. At length
one old gentleman stood up and read¬
justed his glasses in order to get.a
better look at it.
“That is a mighty pretty posy
you’ve got there,” he said. “Who^
may I ask, is dead?”
The boy giggled.
“Nobody 't I know of,” he said.
“This ain’t for a funeral; it’s for a
wedding.”
The old gentleman sat down heav
ily.
“Good Lord!” he said. “What idiot
ever ordered ‘Peace’ inscribed on a
wedding decoration?”
The rest of the passengers smiled,
and many of them, being married,
wondered as well, but nobody ventur¬
ed an explanation.—New York Times.
Death and 8nuff.
A certain Margaret Wilson of West¬
minster, who was an inveterate snuff
taker, enjoined that a quantity of
Scotch snuff should be placed in her
coflin. She also ordered that the ar¬
rangements connected with her funer¬
al should be as follows: “Six men to
be my bearers who are known to bo
the greatest snuff takers in the parish
of St. James, Westminster. Instead of
mourning, each to wear a snuff colored
beaver hat, which I desire may be
bought for the purpose and given to
them. Six maidens of my old ac¬
quaintance to bear my pall, eqch to
carry a box filled with the best Scotch
snuff, to take for their refreshment
as they go along.” Snuff was also to
be thrown on the threshold of de¬
ceased's dwelling before the cortege
passed out, snuff was to be strewn on
the ground at every twenty yards in
advance of the coffin, and the officiat¬
ing clergyman’s fee was to be propor¬
tionate to the quantity of snuff he
consumed during the ceremony.—Lou

What the Peruvians BeH*v*d.
A unique idea of the future state
’was that of the ancient Peruvians.
, As the disembodied soul winged its
way to eternity it encountered tw<*
rocks, upon one of which it must
needs rest. The choice was deter¬
mined by the morality of the life in
the flesh. If it rested upon the left
hand rock It was instantly translated
to “Po,” or oblivion, a state analogous
to the Nirvana of the orient If
through early misdeeds, however, the
unhappy spirit was guided to the right
hand rock It entered into a purga¬
torial hell where fiends grated away
the flesh from all the bones In suc¬
cession, after which the skeleton
reclothed and sent back to earth
another try. There was no haste
about this grating process. It took
something over 10,000 years.
Australia’s First Theater.
The first recorded production of s
i play in Australia took place In June
■ of the year 1780. It was called “The
RecmitiDg Officer.” The proceeds of
the first pay night (some £20) went to
the family of a man who had been
drowned. In January. 1796, a rough
and ready playhouse was opened, and
the public had to pay a shilling a
head for admission. The payments
were made In kind, wheat, flour or
him taking the place of the usual cur
lencv.—London Standard
