sent to Alpme with a copy, thus
asbes forwarded to the German cousul
at New York, who was to deliver them
to the captain of the steamship Elbe.
When in midocean, the captain was to
request a passenger to dress himself iu
nnatical costume, and, ascending With
tbe funeral nru to the topmast, to scat-
ter the asbee to the four winds of beav-
) en These strange directions were faith-
fully carried out.
t^uite as peculiar were the directions
for the funeral of a Mr. Johu Under-
wood. He willed that he was to be
buried iu a green coffin with a copy of
Horace under his head aud of Miltoii
under his feet, a Greek testament iu
his right band and a small Horace in
his left. Sis friends, who were not to
wear monrning, were to follow him to
the giave and there to sing a verse of
the twentieth od« of tbe second Look of
Horace. After this they were to “take
a cheerful glass and think no more of
John Underwood.”
Wills may also be admitted as evi-
dence of the mixed blessings of the
matrimonial state. A nobleman wrote.
“I give and bequeath to the worst of
women, whom I unfortunately marrn d,
45 bra.>s halfpence, which will buy her
a pullet, for sapper.”
A Glasgow doet; r, dying some t« u
die.* building years ago, left the whole of his e-rate to
his two sisters, aud then came this ex-
traordinary clause: “To my wife, as a
recompense for deserting me and Jeav-
: ing me in peace. 1 expect the said sist r
Elizabeth to make her a gift of 10 shil-
■ lings sterling, to buy her a pocket hand-
kerchief to weep in alter my decease.”

Pretty Legend That la Reap«aalbl»
For tbe Towa’s lame.
The name of Kalamazoo, like Oshkosh
and one or two others, has come to be
to foreigners a synonym of American
absurdity. It is often chosen, for some
occult reason, to illustrate that form of
vernacular English known as “United
States. ’*
But all thought of ridicule vanishes
when its romantic origin is considered,
for it is tbe echo still lingering about
the memory of two dusky lovers, who,
iu that long gone time when Michigan
was the home mainly of Indian tribes,
lived aud loved on tbe banks of the riv-
er which now bears their names.
Kahla, the yonug warrior, w is
straight of limb aud eagle eyed, while
to Mahzoo had been given by the Gr it
Spirit the mauy graces and virtues for
which Indian maidens have become
noted in song and legend. Life to these
two ptissesscd all the charm which true
affection Las ever granted *0 lovers, and
the days, as they came »nd went,
brought only abounding joy.
Each summer evening, as the twilight
deepened and the time drew near f^r
her lover’s return from tbe chase, the
rnaidcu watched from her I'dwer in tbe
suayiug branches of a giant elm over-
hanging the river’s edge for the first
sign of bis coming. As tbe bow of his
canoe shot round the curve away in the
distance her char musical voice called
to him, “Kabla, Kabla!’’ and from Ine
young warrior came iu loving tones tae
response, “Mabzco!”—Chicago lin.es-

All Boxlnraa anil Family Matters III-
rrctly t'ontrolled by Thislareason-
!■( Influence. Which Makes Brutes
of Its Slavish Devotees.
No race in the wide world is more
controlled by superstitions notions than
the Chinese. They enter into every act
of a Chinaman's life, and their influ-
ence is more lasting than that of his re-
ligion. He cannot move hand or foot
without their Agency, and from the
earliest moment of his life down to the
laid detail in connection with his burial
their power and influence are the guid-
ing motives of bis acta All business
and family matters are directly con-
trolled by superstitious sentiments, both
rich and poor, young and old, being
1 slaves to their force.
To tbe average Chinaman bis religion
is a mere negative factor in his mode of
life, to be followed, or disregarded at
will, but no true son of Han dares to
act otherwise than in accordance with
the strict precepts of those spiritual
powers which directly control his life.
There are some amusing superstitions
connected with Chinese entertainments
A dinner party ia an ordeal which onoa
experienced ia never forgotten. It con-
sists of *from 40 to 50 distinct courses
and occupies the greater portion of a
day. Daring the whole of tbeee repasta
and notwithstanding the endiees variety
of dishes denied the in riled gneet ro-
tate* the asm plate throughout. The
explanation of this strings rnafnm te m
old proverb, which tarn worn become n
enperatitifm that “ha who ehaafiM tha
pJglQg
then a
Xt had
school
B&-*
uou, says me oninese provero. * uet
them remain at home. ”
No funeral can take place until as-
trologers aud professional fortonertel' ers
have be?u consulted. These unscrupu-
lous diviners decide tbe place of banal,
aud iu the eveut of disagreement no
final interment cau take place. This ac-
counts for the number of unburibd cot
fine which are seen about tbe obuutrv
districts in China. Sometimes thy coffin
is temporarily deposited in a temple or
kept iu the bouse of the heir of the de-
ceased. Among the poor as often.a- not
it is conveyed to some sheltered spot
and cohered with a mat.
j When in course of time (kyjaidof
I additional fees) tbe diviners can report
that all objections to final burial are re-
moved, the funeral takes place amid re-
^ joieing and profane excesses. Tb^ mode
/ ot pr> vitiation generally prescribed by
astrcl<v* rs is tbe purchase ot some stone
or piece of iron, to which an elaborate
ritual of prayer and sacrifice is1 made,
* or. if tbe clhnt is wealthy, the building
cf a pagoda is suggested, in comiectinu
with which the mercenary fortunij teller
docbtle-s reaps a large commission.
The last species of superstition to
which we will call attention forces us
to place China among tbe half civilized
and brutal nations. One of these'.super-
stitions is tbat the soul of a dying per-
son takes possession of the bed and rtsim
in which the invalid is lying. T4> obvi-
ate such a curse as this tbe relatives of
t.ie dying jerson, as soon as th#y per-
ceive his end approaching, forcibly re-
move him from bis bed and place him
almost naked upon a board. If by ybance
a man sbonld expire in his Led,.it, to-
gether with all the furniture In the
room, must be burned and many atone-
ments offered before tbe room i6 Consid-
ered fit for habitation again.
Mauy strange and inhuman ideas are
asso- rated with the illness aud dgath of
- children. If a child sickens and dies be-
fore the age of 12 years, its last mo-
! ments ars hastened by the bdrrible
j cruelty of its parents. So long as hope
is possible the parents do tlioir Utmost
to save their child, bnt as soon as tbe
docti rs abandon hope tbe child is;etrip-
ped n.ikt d and placed against ttiei outer
door of the bouse Wneu the end has
come, the corpse is thrown out into the
street to be picked up by the passing

Tunin'* Mnicrinl For Stories.
In Berlin, win u one pays his fare to
tho conductor of a street car, he receive*
a tick*4!, which is soon afterward col-
lected by au inspector, who boards the
car at a fixed point. One day, just as a
joke. Murk Twain paid his fare 15
times on one trip, euth time throwing
tbe ticket out of the window or under
his seat as soon as lie had deposited the
regular fare with the conductor. A few
minutes Inter the inspector would get
on the car and demand tickets all
ar >und. (Jf course Twain had none to
show aud Mad to hnv another, apparent-
ly with reluctance. The performance
amnM-d the American, dumfouuded the
conductor, who bad never met so reck-
less a passenger, and tickb-d the native
passengers, who thought the foreigner
well punished for his negligence. By
this modest investment material was
obtained for a capital stoiy, which net-
ted Mark Twain just $500.—Ladies’

A recent utricle on homesickness re-
calls the reply made by a y<.ung t-wed-
isb maid to- litr mistress. It expressed
though in imperfect English,
sufferer from homesickness
The reason for this brutality is. this:
If a family loses a child beforeiit has
grown to maturity, its parents refiase to
regard it as ti.eir off>pring, but rather
as some evil spuit who has worked its
way into their home iu order to bring
ruin and misfortune upon it and them.
