:50 a ave or at WOODORD general SupX burying an empress A Magnificent uneral In China Majesty An having ascended the Dragon throne on high let the proper board take cognizance and consult with the imperi al astronomers to select an auspicious day for the celebration of the funeral So ran the official announcement of the death of the widow of the Emperor Hsien eng in the Peking Gazette of the 10th of April last The late Empress was the con sort of Hsien eng but not his first wifej that lady having gone on high previous to the ele vation of her husband to the Chinese throne When in 1861 Hsien eug died An was conjointly with the mother of the late Em peror ung Chih appointed Empress Regent after Tung death she continued to wield power during the minority of the present Emperor Kwang Su This power she exercised with considerable skill On mo mentous occasions more especially during the recent imbroglio with Russia her diplomatic talents were used to great advantage Owing to her residing jn that portion the imperial quarters designated as the Eastern Palace she became known as the Eastern Empress in contradistinction to her co regent who living in the Western Palace is known as the West ern Empress The auspicious day selected for the impe rial obsequies by the grave scientists who form the Board of Astronomy at the Chinese capital was the 29th of October last REPOSING ON A COAL HILL Ever since the Empress died her remains had bften deposited in a mortuary chapel situ ated in the inclosure surrounding the coal hill or May Shan in the grounds of the pal ace This hill was constructed in the year 1635 and the coal of which it is comnosed was brought from the mines of Chitaug which lie to the westward of Peking At its summit a beautiful summer house is built and its slopes are decorated with trees and shrubs of vari ous descriptions In its construction it serves a double purpose to enable the imperial deni zens of the palace to obtain a view of the city and also as a magazine of fuel in case Peking should at any time be in a state of siege or seven months the body of the Empress reposed on Chis hilL Every day delegations of high mandarins visited the shrine to offer sacrifices and prayers while a legion of Buddhist lamas and Tauist priests lived in little huts around the gardens whose duty was to offer prayers for the repose of the soul of her Majesty The Kwan Tch Tien for such is the name of the mortuary chapel was sacredly guarded from common ken by a mat shed erection The King of Corea the Khans and Sultans of Thibet Turkestan and Kash garla the chiefs and princes of the Mongolian and Manchurian domains all seut deputies to offer prayers on their account at the shrine Two weeks previous to the date fixed for the funeral the roads leading to the imperial tombs are styled luny ngan Hen lit (abiding resting hall of the Dragon) were under a pro cess of renovation REPAIRING THE STREETS To imagine a street in Peking is difficult A thoroughfare iu the Chinese capital cannot be equaled for dirt iu any other city in the world Peking is a city of magnificent dis tances but its roadways though broad and long are vile The heavy dust of the plain accumulates and is kept from rising by liberal showers of dirty water which is ladledin buckets by scavengers from holes in the side walks The method adopted to patch up the roadways consists in raking the mud from the sides to the middle and leveling it down with trowels After the roadway was repaired traffic on the portion renovated was entirely suspended As it is an essential feature in a Chinese imperial funeral that the coffin must be carried steady and without the lease sway ing for some twenty days previous to the ob sequies the men who were destined to bear the corpse were drilled under the eye of officials i co proficiency Two immense beams painted yellow supported a lofty canopy and stand where the coffin was to rest Upon this stand the presiding official Was seated holding a cup of water in his hands The desired point was achieved when the bearers could step together and not spill a drop of the fluid A VAST CATAALQUE At the appointed morning at early dawn the procession left the palace and proceeded on its way through the Hou Men or back gate The catafalque was carried from the shrine to out side the gate by 128 bearers In a yellow can vas tent situated on the plateau outside the city the coffin was deposited by the bearers there to await the arrival of the boy Emperor and the Western Empress There were some LOOUO soldiers of the imperial bodyguard as an escort and guard for nis Majesty and the Empress who arrived at 5 a to pay their last farewell to the dead ruler During the passage of the procession along the street the ends of the lanes abutting on the main thoroughfares were screened by blue cloth and every shop and house was tightly closed Auv one" caught gazing at the imperial cor tege was arrested and severely punished The Emperor and Empress after performing a number of prostrations and offering libations to the departed soul returned to the palace In order to give rest to the bearers of the enormous catafalque there were no less than 1000 men detailed to act as relays A MAGNIICENT CORTEGE The procession then moved in the following order: irst came a number of musicians with drums trumpets cymbals and flutes but plaving no music these instruments being only sounded at various points and intervals Next three imperial carts the bodies and wheels painted a rich yellow with coverings or canopies of straw colored satin the tops surmounted bv gilded ornaments and drawn by two white 'horses with red trappings Then came a hundred white ponies with red trai pings led by spearmen Next appeared three sedan chairs covered with yellow silk two carried by eight men in scarlet robes while the third was richly decorated with gilded or naments and borne by sixteen men These chairs ware the ones used by the late Empress ollowing in order came a number of high mandarins and princes on horseback attend ants carrying large fans of different colors flags of white yellow black and blue silks with the five clawed dragon emblazoned upon them and others carrying huge red umbrel las Then appeared the ponderous catafalque with twenty mandarins on foot in front of it This huge bier was draped in yellow satin and in shape resembled an ordinary stage Under a Canopy covered with silk upon which a dragon was embroidered in gold thread tho coffin reoosed The roof of the canopy had a large gilt ball fixed iu carvings resembling flames of fire and fringed with tassels rhe 128 bearers wore scarlet silk robes official boots and hats with yellow fringes In order to keep step a man with a Chinese drum marched in front of the coffin The proces sion closed with a number of mandarins on horseback soldiers with spears and a large retinue of carts sedan chairs bearing officials and faired mourners Prince Kung and the Viceroy Le Hung Chang followed at the dis tance of a mile Some Coreans clad in flow in" white robes knelt by the roadside during the passing of the coffin The journey to the imperial tomb occupied ueaVlv three days the large cortege resting on the way several times CEREMONIES AT THE GRAVE The following programme of ceremonies to be performed at the grave appears in the tsheu pao a Chinese paper published in Shanghai: Chang is appointed Bearer of Re galia Prine in will attend to the pouring out of libations and the burning of incense at the various bridges and halting places At starting and halting the Prince of Yun will pour out wine and he will also offer a li bation at the funeral banquet on the arrival of the coffin at the mausoleum At the tomb at the auspicious moment the coffin Will be deposited oi the dragon hearse and lowered into the vault Then a sacrificial offering shall take place on the eastern terrace and Prince Kung shall pour offerings of wine This from the throne

courts are to the queer places There is 'a certain amount of ceremony and procedure which to the casual looker on has neither hyme nor reason? As an instance I will cite the of a defendant or plain tiff whep it is well known that he is absent and cannot possibly respond but he is and the record is made up against him The peculiar formula used in opening court is an other queer thing and here in Washington it is wonderfully qqeer Just imagine that be fore the court begins any business whatever (and'we who are attending the Guiteau trial hear it every day and everybody knows there is no other business but that before the court) a man of medium size but with lungs like the bull of Bashan steps up to the end of the judge's desk taps with his knife handle and in a voice that could be distinctly heard in a hall of 20 000 calls out: to order gentlemen hats He waits a moment glances around the court robin lays his left elbow on the desk straighte ns himself drops his head upon his breast closes his eyes fills his lungs with several cubic feet of air and then he says in a volume of voice as big as the Brit ish cyclopedia: yees He pauses and gathers his breath again and the second flood of sound rolls out: Those who are accustomed to it turn to those who are strangers iu the court room and say: that for a voice? And the answer is he could be heard a Meanwhile the cryer is swelling up for the next thundering utterance and he belches out: He pulls in a mighty breath and bellows: 1 pers sa awing bees thou bull ju dge Court th'dees He gath ers himself again his chest expands his eyes close and he goes on: a a ould ding scritnnal Another gathering of the Borean forces and: aw aw near gun give yer ten dunce the courtsnaw pen As ne utters the last part the thunder runs sud denly down to a zephyr all muddled in to gether and he is half way down the steps It toos one man he was from Ohio four days to translate the conundrum By those who know what his business isto wit to open court no effort is made to guess whether he is calling or They let him wind up and run down and they go to business The result of a care ful investigation showed that the call never varies Like the cogs in a wheel the words move in the same groove every time When the Ohioan had finally wrestled the conun drum out he found it read as follows: yes yes ves all persons having business before the honorable the Judge of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia now hold ing its criminal term draw near and give your attendance The court is now Star Tire Way Men nre Managed It is easy enough to win a husband Most any attractive little dumpling with a bright eye and a coaxing voice can gather in a noble husband but it is pretty difficult to retain him Noble husbands are thicker than hair on a dog but the grand difficulty is to draw out their true nobility and secure it at home If the wife only understands her business she can introduce the sootbingjracket in her new field of operations and walk away with the whole business Most men like to be loved and soothed There is something in the great rough earnest nature that can bo won quicker and easier with gentleness and pie than by the logic of the broom handle a bilious course of reasoning with bread and milk diet We have seen a girl who understood her business take a reformed road agent by the nose so to speak and lead him through life iu such a way that he know but that he was the boss of the ranch So perfect was the delusion that when she asked him to bring in a scuttle of coal or get up in his night shirt to kill a burglar that he knew was nothing but a bob tailed cow four blocks away he always went and he went as though he counted it a mark of special favor that a poor unworthy worm of the dust like him should be sought out and delegated to go and chase a lame cow nine vacant lots with an old barrel stave and clotbed in a little brief authority and a knit undershirt Boomerang Science's Truths A famous scientist says there is often a marked personal resem blance between husband and wife after they have been married a while We have noticed that fact Some time ago a gallant Phila delphia man whose eyes were blue married a jealous black eyed woman and in less than a year he had black eyes himself Nows jA 1 A xJ iso Brain Treat Dizziness Convui ent fi Depression Lo re caused by over hi16try which leads One box will cure box contains one month's sent bymlir a or lx)xes foe six hl?

Prithee speed for but a little time that I can bear smiled but all were sore perplexed and looked one to the other in deep tribulation for counsel But behold here was a dead wall and nothing in English history to tell how to get it The Master of Ceremonies was not present there was no one who felt safe to venture upon this unchartered sea or risk the attempt to solve this solemn problem Alas! there was no Hereditary Scratcher Meantime the tears had overflowed their banks aud began to trickle down cheeks His twitching nose was pleading more urgently than ever for reliefs At last nature broke down the barriers of etiquette: Tom lifted up an inward prayer for pardon if he was doing wrong and brought relief to the burdened hearts of his court by scratching his nose himself meal being ended a lord came aud held before him a broad shallow golden dish with fragrant rose water in it to cleanse bis mouth and fingers with and my lord tbe Hereditary Diaperer stood by with a napkin for his useT Tom gazed at the dish a puzzled moment or two then raised it to his lips and took a draught Then he returned it to the waiting lord and said: 'Nay it likes me not my lord it hath a pretty flavor but it wauteth uew eccentricity of the ruined miud made all tho hearts about him ache but the sad sight moved none to mer riment next unconscious blunder was to get up mid leave the table just
