I^i" Queer Modes of Bnrlal. According to the Philadelphia Press, the Mohammedans always, whether in their own country or in one of adoption, bury without coffin or casket of any kind. During the time of the old Roman empire the dead bodies of all except suicides were burned. The Greeks some tiroes buried their dead in the ground, but more generally cremated them in imitation of the Romans. In Iodia, up till within the last few years, the wife, either according to her wishes or otherwise, was cremated on the same funeral pyre that converted her dead husband's remains into ashes. When a child dies in Greenland the natives bury a live dog w.ti it, the dog to be used by the child as a guide to the other world. When questioned in regard to thia peculiar superstition they will only answer: "A dot; can find his way anywhere." The natives of Australia tie the hands of their dead together and pull out their nails. This is for fear that the corpse may scratch its way out of the grave and become a vampire.

This is the realon whv serpent rings are only made for men, but it mystifies one when trying to reconcile this strange antipathy with the great popularity of the snake bracelets a few years ago, and now growing in favor again, for in bracelets, many of the serpents coil around the arm two and three times, and with the opportunity that this larger size affords, are made more vicious looking than ever.

Hats for summer of every sort and kind, and as variously trimmed, are to be worn, and the most extraordinary combination of colors appears in the decoration. In some cases it requires ill the skill of the milliners to make the result other than either iiasny or aoway, the claim lor admiration resting upon that very doubtful quality sometimes put forth as a plea for toleration, if not for idmiration, that its beauty consists in Its ugliness.

To , lome women gray hair is very becoming, or, rather, some gjay hair is becoming ( to its owners. Straight, fine hair when it is gray does not prettily frame a face; It is heavy and lifeless. A woman possessing it is justified in putting the evil day off as long as possible. CoarRe, fluffy 1 hair, with a tendency to curl, is a considerable beautifier. Many women hav- i ing such are surprised to find themselves, after years of commonplace looks, en- . dowed by the whitening of their hair with a really distinguished appearance. It is a mistake to dress gray hair negligently. The "sweet disbevelment" of loose lccks and escaping curls does not belong to silvered crowns. Frizzes and bangs of gray hair are equally out of character. Soft puffs, or a la pompadour, are most effective coiffures when the youthful color has departed from a woman's glory.?New Orleans Picayune. AGGRESSIVE, PROGRESSIVE WOMAN.

The day of physical culture for women, outside of a few exercises with dumb-belle and "wands" at select boarding schools, Is a development of recent years. It is gratifying to note how rapidly the Idea has already spread. The clubs or classes for gymnastic training among . . ; ... . . . '-VS.'-'" > ' l.'rV 'r_-. j J-.Vi ) women and girls are by no means confined to Boston or even to Massachusetts. The movement is steadily gaining ground everywhere throughout tht United States. Especially is this the case at the American colleges to whick girls are now sent for higher mental training. In many respects the gymna> Bium of a girl's college is equal to that o! any other college. The girl student! have boat-clubs and regattas, into whict they enter with as much spirit as if th< scene were New London and the eveni the "varsity" race. While the girl students build up brain cells by study, they also gain muscle by exercise, and the girl college graduatt 11 * J-- it 1 M - J U oi tne present aay can -put uj? u uuuju bell as neatly and proficiently as she cat analyze the teachings of Kant or SchlegeL In fact, she does the one all the bettei for having done the other. In addition, the game of tennis has served to develop stronger muscles. The safety bicycle, the t*tandem"and the tricycle, and mori recently the bicycle, have won raanj young women and girls into the delights cf a healthy spin along country roads, and, among those who can affoid it horseback riding has gained great popularity within recent years. In fact, every outdoor sport which is not of toe rough or too dangerous a nature has recently been adapted to feminine participation, and the athletic girl of to-day car row or fish, ride or walk, bowl or plaj tennis or golt as well as her brothers. A generation or bo ago her accomplishments would have been considered unmaidenly; to-day she has every reason to be proud of her proficiency, and is gen erany aamireu iur ncr stem aira cipcrtness by her brothers and envied by her less accomplished Bisters. There is much reason for satisfaction in this increase of health and vigor in womankind, all the more bo as too many young men of the present day nave cot shown the same eagerness toward physical development. It is to be hoped that the narrow-chested, thin, cigarettesmoking young man who is too often seen on the city streets may be shamed into athletic training by his sense of physical inferiority when compared with the girls of to-day who can walk two miles to his one and who show in every movement the perfect health which he lacks. At all events, the development of a healthy athletic spirit among American girls means an important gain to the physical standard of the Nation and, perhaps, a decrease in the mortality from hereditary disease and especially from consumption, which seems the curse of Ajnerican and especially New England families.

Wide sasbes of black watered ribbon ire in demand. White bunting is a favorite material for house dresses. Black silk ulsters are shown for dust cloaks for traveling. New slippers have very large, elaborate md richly jeweled rosettes. Colored silks are used to line fancy white dottet? muslin dresses. Navy-blue and heliotrope are seen in the new importations of costumes. Leghorn hats with windmill bows ol pink 6atin are worn by ladies' maids. Coat-tails are more worn than the pointed waist by short-waisted people. Linen collars turned over all round, with cuffs to match are again worn with wool dresses. The long coat or basque is still worn for the street, but without the excessively high collar. In the new checks shown for mountain wear there are very large designs as well as small ones. Gloves have very long cuffs. Some oi them are very elaborately embroidered in gold, jet or steel. Surah silk is not the favorite it was of old. It does not wear a9 well as others owing to the stiffness in it.

It does not laundry to have its pristine freshness like to giDghams, percalines or batistes. The point de genes lace is getting a little overdone. It seems a trimming which can be used eauallv well on any fabric and therefore it is common. The silk petticoat for full dress should be cut w;th the bias seam in the back, like the dress, and trimmed with one deep flounce, with narrow Russian lace on either edge. Bishop sleeves, with cuffs or wristbands of the depth to suit the length of the wearer's anus, are worn for house gowns, and will be used for summer out-door costumes. . In novelties in dress fabrics it is impossible to escape from patterned materials. Every textile fabric shows some device or other. The most "Frenchy" combine stripes and brocaded figures. The diversity in round hats and bonnets is more displayed in the trimming than in the shapes, which have not materially changed. In the hats the brimt are narrow and the crowns very small. A great novelty is shown in chiffon scarfs, with fringed and satin striped o^?Aa TT?V* l'ftV* aT0 dpanO^ CUUa UUU ovupbu nuiva ??v around the bat, and either knotted in a full bow or the ends left hanging in the back.

The best way to remove a stain of grease from paper is to apply Fuller's earth, pounded fine and pressed in amass over the spot. Lay a brown paper over it and press a hot iron over all. This will cause the dry powder to adhere to the paper and will also help draw out the grease. Let the paste remain on the wall for at least forty-eight hours. Then brush it off, and if the grease has not entirely disappeared, repeat the process. ?New York Tribune. INK HARKS VANISH FROM LINEN. Tbere is a simple little remedy for taking out ink marks on linen, which is so little known that it is perhaps worth mentioning. One is repeatedly coming across people who have never even heard of it, and who rush in despair to salts of lemon, often with the final result of a hole where the stain used to be. This remedy has been tried for years and never known to fail, however big the strain. Before sending the tablecloth, serviette, or whatever the article may be,to the wash, lay the spot where the ink has marked it in a saucer of fresh unboiled milk foi three or four hours; at the end of that time the ink will have spread out to s miirtV or+flnf Pn f op uiuuu givabbi kvu%>* alarmed.

Cleaning windows is an important part of the work in the routine of housekeeping, and while it does not seem a difficult task to keep the glass clear and bright, it nevertheless requires a knowledge of what not to do. Never wash windows when the sun is shining upon them, otherwise they will be cloudy and streaky from drying before they are well polished off; and never wash the outside of the window first if you wish to save trouble. Dust the glass and sash aud wash the window inside, using a little ammonia in the water, wipe with a cloth free from lint, and polish off with SOlt paper, f or me corners, a awan brash or pointed stick covered with one end of the brush is useful. When you coine to the glass outside, the defects remaining will be more closely seen. Wipe the panes as soon as possible after washing and rinsing, and polish with either chamois or soft paper. In rinsing, one may dash the water on the outside or use a large sponge. It is preferable to a cloth.?Boston Cultivator. A COMFORTABLE SOFA PILLOW. A most practical pillow for a lounge in a living room, where it must serve for both use and beauty, can be made in the following manner, says Mrs. Walsh in the Housewife. Procure one yard of art linen eighteen inches wide, a feather pillow about half a yard square, half a yard of gold-colored China silk, one yard wide of fine white cotton, two yards of white silk lacing cord and wash silk enough to work the design. Hemstitch the sides of the linen with an inch hem and have it Btamped in some conventional design of a rather large pattern and work this in mifline efUfh in waqh Bilk of two col* ors (the one described in white and gold), embroidering them according to one'i own taste; then sew the ends of the linen together on the wrong side; beginning about four inches from the seam, work four eyelet holes about four inches apart in the hems, then skip eight inches, and do four more, bringing them within about four inches of the same of the other side. Cover the ticking of the pillow with the white cotton cloth, cut the gold-colored silk in half and puff it across to opposite ends of the pillow, fastening it about two inches in Irom the edge; slip the linen over this and lace it together across the puff* with the white silk cord, so when the linen part is soiled it can be removed and laundered. I have uaed one of these pillows for | some time ana it nas provea a source 01 satisfaction every time it has been freshly laundered. RECIPES.

ME REITERATES HIS STATEMENTS, PRODUCES ADDITIONAL PKOOE 4ND CLEARLY DEFINES HIS POSITION. (A. Y. nun.) It would be difficult to measure the in terest and comment, not to say excitement.which the published letter of Dr. R. A.Gunn. which appeared in the paper yesterday, has occasioned. The prominence of the "doctor and the unusual nature of the letter have both tended to add interest to the subject and make it really the talk of the town. 1 called upon Dr. Gunn at his residence, No. 124 West Forty-seventh street, yesterday afternoon. I found the reception room crowded, and it was only after an hour's waiting that I succeeded in obtaining an interview. Dr. Gunn is a distinguished looking man, and impressed me at once by his manly bearing and air of sincerity. I took the seat he courteously offered me, and said: "Are you aware, doctor, of the commotion your letter has caused?" Dr. Gunn smiled and replied: "Things out of the ordinary usually cause comment. It is not a common thing for physicians to indorse and cordially recommend medicines other than those in the Materia Medica. History Is full of instances of scientists who have indorsed discoveries they believe to be valuable, and have been denounced for so doinsr, and* yet these same discoveries are blessing the world to-day. I hope I have She manhood and courage to be true to my ccn victiona, and tnat is wny i so openjy ana unhesitatingly indorse Warner's Safe Cure as being the greatest of mo tern discoveries for the cure of diseases which have baffled , the highest skill of the raed cal profession. ' I was impressed witb the earnestness of the doctor, and saw that he meant every word tbat he said. "How long have you known of this remedy, doctor?" I asked. "Nearly ten years," he replied. *'My attention was originally called to the Safe Cure by a serious case of Bright's disease, which was considered hopeless, and yet, much to my surprise, under its use the patient recovered. I have tried it in other cases since then constantly, and my original faith in its power has been confirmed. I have seen pa * ? inflommofiAn r\t t Vizs I tieillB ICWVCl tairua luuauiuiabivu v? %**v i bladder, gravel and Bright's disease when all other treatment had failed, and I have found it especially efficient in all female troubles." "Can you specify any particular cases, doctori" I asked. "That is a delicate thing to do," the doctor replied; "but, as 1 always keep a written record of my cases, lean accommodateyou." Thereupon the doctor opened his desk and produced his record book. Turning over the I leaves he said: "Here is a case of a gentleman who was a great sufferer of inflammation of the bladder of Ion? standing. He had consulted a number of physicians without benefit. When first consulted I myself tried the usual methods of treatment, but without success, and I finally advised him to try Warner's Safe Cure. He felt better from the start, and in a few weeks was entirely cured." ' The doctor turned a few pages further and then said: "Here is another case. It is that of a gen* tleman who had frequent attacks of renal calculi, which, as you know, is gravel form.ing in the kidneys. He had never been able to prevent these formations, but after an unusuallv severe atipcK i recommenaea mm to try the Safe Cure, which he did. and although it is three years since he took the remedy, he haB never had an attack since." . The doctor continued to turn the leaves of his book, and suddenly exclaimed: "Here is a most remarkable case. It is that of a lady who had suffered for some time from Bright's disease. She became enciente, and about the fourth month suddenly became blind, had convulsions and flnaJly fell into a state of coma, caused by uremic or kidney poison. Several physicians who saw her said she could not live, and in this view I fully concurred. As she could still swallow I said, as a last resort, that they might try Warner's Safe Cure. They did so, and to the surprise of evary one she recovered She has since given birth to a living child, and is perfectly welL" . "Those are certainly most wonderful I cases, doctor," I said, "and while I do not lor a moment question tneir autnenucity, i should consider it a great favor If you would give me their names. I think the importance of the subject would fully justify it." * "In the interest of other sufferers I think you are correct," Dr. Gunn finally observed, after a moment's thought. "Both the Jady and her husband are so rejoiced, so grateful, over her recovery that I know she is only too glad to have others hear of it. The lady is Mrs. Eav?s, wide of the well known costurner. She was not only restored, but is in perfect health to-day." I thanked the doctor for his courteous reception, for the valuable information imparted, and I feel assured that his generous and humane nature will prevent him from feeling other than glad at seeing this interview published lor the benefit of suffering humanity.
