People Who Can Afford Brats Bauds Em pioy i nezxi* Funerals are far less funereal iD sunny Hellas than in northern climes, according to the Philadelphia Press. The typical Greek funeral of the poorer sort is led by six or eight men, bearing between them an open coffin, in which the face of the corpse is fully visible to passers upon the street. II the bearers are in the Greek national costume?red caps, white kilts, knife plaited, and long white stockings, with embroidered gaiters?they certainly look rather gay for mourners. If a hearse is used it is not a black affair with heavy plumes, but as gay with nr-Il/l-l'Tirr o Tl rl TOrl OT11~1 TuVlitft TmiTlt, fl.S ? b11UJJ^ ? I ? circus wagon, and so arranged that the face of the corpse is visible. If the family of the dead man arej*ich enough to afford it, a "Lrass band accompanies the procession, besides the group of Greek priests walking by the coffin. There is always a crowd of onlookers. Public notice of deaths and funerals is always given in the towns by printed cards, posted on the church j doors, lamp posts and dead wals. In Athens the funeral of an eminent | man is always made the excuse for something like a public festival. On such occasions the state hearse is brought out, drawn by four white horses. This hearse is a high affair, made in close imitation of a Corinthian temple. The elaborately carved columns are gay with gilding, the roof is white and gold. On every possible pretext there is a military parade in honor of the distinguished departed, and the brass band is never omitted. When the late Austrian Minister, Baron Koszed, was buried there was a parade in his honor of several regiments of Greek infantry, a lot of marines from the Greek navy, Austrian sailors and attaches; music was furnished by Greek and Austrian military bands, the former of which wound up the day by playing popular airs in the Place de la Constitution to an audience of several thousand. Fully half the population of the city were gathered in dense masses along the wide academy avenue, and saw the parade, in which the gay frontier troops in their Albanian dress were the most conspicuous feature, and next to them were the beautiful floral designs borne upon long poles by men of European dress. The King was present in a plain carriage driven by a coachman in silver and blue uniform, but he attracted little attention. Athenians can see their King almost any day. Washington's Statue. The statue of Washington?that 8250,000 one?in Philadelphic is said X- 1 T + lu nave ueeu muucicu unci liicpxuiaxb of the Father of His Country, painted by Gilbert Stuart, and now in the White House. H such be the case, it is not Washington at \ all, below the neck and part of the shoulders, for Stuart painted only a bust portrait. The completed figure was painted afterward by Winstanley, with Colonel Smith, son-in-law of President John Adams, as a model for the unfinished body and limbs. Washington waB a man of splendid proportions, almost a giant, and Colonel Smith was the only man of that day who could wear George's clothes without a misfit. In 1814, when General Ross and Admiral Cockburn, two British firebrands and wreckers, drove Dolly Madison away from the White Mouse, the wiie of the President turned back to save this portrait of Washington. It was hanging on the wall, and caught her eye just as the British reached the threshold. At the risk of capture she resolved to save it, and save it she did, though the servants were obliged to chop it out of the frame with an as. The canvas was sent in a hack to a woman of the name of Baker, living beyond Georgetown. Fifty years later it was renovated and rehung in the White House.?New York Press. Coal From Turf. Another plan for turning to account forces of nature as yet dimly understood is reported from Scandinavia, where a savant has discovered a method of converting the turf into coal. The turf is placed in retorts and gradually heated to 250 degrees. The retorts are then closed and the temperature kept up for seven hours. The tar and gas products are thus retained in the coal mass to the extent of eighty per cent., and the resultant is said to contain sixty-five per cent, of carbon, six per cent, of hydrogen, 3.7 watej and five per cent, of ashes. Turf coal gives about the same amount of heat as seconds, and has been tested both in Krupp's iron foundry and for domestic purposes. One thousand kilos are sold for $1.75, the cost of preparing it being about seventy-five cents. Xot Suited for Toreadors. A bull fighter in Mexico on the lookout for a novelty undertook to appear in the arena on a bicycle. He did so, and all went well till, describing a graceful curve, he rode over a stone and the bull, seizing the opportunity, lifted both bicycle and ride on his horns and tossed them over the balustrade in among the spectators.

President Barnaby, of Hartsville College' Survives a Serious Illness Through the Aid of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. From the Republican, Columbus, Ind, The Hartsville College, situated at Harts- | ville, Indiana, was founded years ago in J the interest of the United Brethren Church, when the State was mostly a wilderness, and colleges were sc.. The college is well known throughout tue country, former students having gone into all parts of the world. ptjrcp AT.VTV P. RARKAT1T. A reporter recently called at this famous seat of learning and was shown into the room of the President, Prof. Alvtn P. Baroaby. When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barnaby was in delicate health. To-day he was apparently in the best of health. In response to an inquiry the professor said: "Oh, yes, I am much better than for some time. I am now in perfect health; but my recovery was brought about in rather a peculiar way." "Tell me about it," said the reporter. "Well, to begin at the beginning," said the professor, "I studied too hard when at school, endeavoring to educate myself for the professions. After completing the common course I came here, and graduated from the theological course. I entered the ministry, and accepted the oharge of a United Brethren Church at a small place in Kent County, Mich. Being of an ambitious nature, I applied myself diligently to my work and studies. In time I noticed that my health was failing. My trouble was indigestion, and this with other troubles brought on nervousness. "My physician prescribed for me for some time, and advised me to take a change of climate. I did as he requested and was some improved. Soon after, I came here as professor in physics and chemistry, and later was financial agent of this college. The change agreed with me, and for awhile my health was better, bnt ray duties were heavy, and again I found my trouble returning. This time it was more severe, and in the winter I became completely prostrated. I tried various medicines and different physicians. Finally, I was able to return to my duties. Last spring I was elected President of the college. Again I had considerable work, and the trouble, which had not been entirely cured, began to affect me, and last fall I collapsed. I had different doctors, but none did me any good. Professor Bowman, who is professor of natural science, told me of his experience with Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills for Fale People and urged me to give them a trial, because they had benefited him in a similar case, and I concluded to try them. "The first box helped me, and the second gave great relief, such as I never had experienced from the treatmeut of any physician. After using six boxes of the medicine I was entirely cured. To-day I am perfectly well. I feel better and stronger than for years. I certainly recommend thia medicine." To allay all doubt Professor Barnaby cheerfully made an affidavit before Lyman J. 8cuddeb, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box 01 six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk, or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Mr. "Tomredy.^ A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal tells this story of the Brazilian Minister in Washington, who is, unfortunately, blind, and has his daily papers read to him by a secretary, sc that he is obliged to form his impressions entirely by sound. The othei night he sat at a club dinner by the side of a well-known correspondent, and in the course'of an hour's conversation he repeated the name of Mr. i "Tomredv" at least half a dozen times, j It was some little time before it dawned upon the correspondent's mind that the Minister meant Speaker Reed. Senor Salvador de Mendonca had never seen the name in print and never heard it pronounced in any other way than "Tomredy," and although an j extremely punctilious gentleman he j fell into what would have been to him j an unpardonable error if he could have j known it. Speaker Reed sat near him and enjoyed the incident immensely. About Paper. It is a strange fact that while pape r is being used for dozens of purposes formerly monopolized by wood, or even a harder material, such as car wheels, boxes, barrels, tubs, pails, etc., wood is rapidly driving other ingredients to the wall in the manufacture of nearly all the cheaper grades of paper. Paper floors are manufactured at j ? * /N T XT / ! Hjinsieuein, uermauy. xn me iorm u* j a pasty mass the paper is spread upon the surface to be covered and submitted to pressure.

The Ginseng: Industry. ?l This "crop," together "with market values, and often exaggerated ,reports of enormous prices, forms a fascinat- re ing 'subject. The interesting thing q about it is that the amount shipped di abroad annually, foreign markets being almost the exclusive buyers, is appar- 8i ently steadily decreasing, while the value is proportionately increasing. According to some very interesting ^ figures compiled by New York Oil, et Paint and Drug Reporter, exports of $ ginseng root in 1896 were scant 200,- ti 000 pounds worth $770,000. Five years fr' earlier exports were 283,000 pounds, a: in the early 80's 300,()00 to 400,000, ^ and as long ago as '76 550,000jpounds. Exports in ;'72 were 400,000 pounds, n worth $342,000, or less than one per N pound. . Some Things That Kever Sleep.
