The New Orleans Times-Democrat
jlironicles the fact that a general move
is being made in London to do away
ivith wreaths and flowers at funerals,
Diio reason being that the custom has
taken the form of absurd extrava
gance. Another and novel argument
against the sending' of these tributes
is that the petals of the flowers serve
to keep the germs which are given oil'
from the dead body, and in the case
of peoplo who die from infectious dis
eases they may become a positive
source of danger, and, like tlio bunch
of roses which her jealous rivals sent
to Adricno Lccouvreur, be absolutely
death dealing.

ington and C ilifornia. ''The laws re
lating to compulsory education," states
the Courier-Journal, "are very defec
tive in somo of these States and entire
ly inoperative in others. It is notice
able that education is not compulsory
in any of the States of the South At
lantic division, or of the South Cen
tral division, nor in the Sia'c of
Pennsylvania."
Germany lias reason to be well satis
fied with the evidence of growth af
forded by the census just taken, con
cludes the Chicago Herald. At tho
rate of increase for tho past decade,
Prussia will not be long in overtaking
France in population. While the popu
lation of Franco is approaching a sta
tionary condition, that of Prussia is
steadily growing. It is remarkable
that, in the matter of births, tho re
cently annexed province of Alsace
Lorraine is (Jjcrinan rather than
French, showing an increase in notable
contrast to the sterility of the nation
of which it was formerly a part.
One of the most dangerous tenden
cies in Parisian life is the great in
crease in crime by persons bet ween
fifteen and twenty years of age
Becent statistics show that twice as
many grave crimes are committed by
minors as by persons from twenty to
forty years old. In one year minors
are charged with thirty murdets,
thirty-nine manslaughters, threo parri
cides, two poisonings and forty-four
cases of infanticide. Some writers
attribute this increase of juvenile
crimo directly to the leniency of the
courts in dealing with young crimin
als, and there is lio question that the
simple deportation of such young
criminals is no deterrent to crime.
An important feature of the pro-
irrnmmn for the future trnnlmnnt. ol
r
'the Indian question is tho scheme now
being prepared by the War Depart
ment for the enlistment of a numbt;i
of young bucks for service in the
ranks of the army. It is proposed tc
enlist about 2000, including COO or 70C
scouts. A. separate regiment, com-
posed entirely of Indians, will not b
organized as at first proposed by souk
army officers, for (he reason that it ii
not regarded as perfectly safe to brinj
such a largo body of u'tcivilized ant
treacherous people together. Scparah
; companies, however, will be organized
and abont one attached to each of tin
infantry and cavalry regiments servins

"Scaring the Conscience."
Of all her curious customs London
cannot boat of a more singular one
than that formerly so strictly adhered
to at Holland House, one of tho most
historic old mansions in tho British
capital. Tho last of tho Lords Holland
shot himself during a lit of des
pomlcncy; everything pointed to n
clear case of self-murder, yet the Hol
land family could never bo dissuaded
from the notion that the old man had
been murdered by some unknown as
easin. Accordingly, every night for
years it was (ho custom for one of the
family to go to the rear of tho house
punctually at 11 o'clock and fire a
gun; for the purpose, it is said, of
"scaring the conscience' of tho mur

Tlii Effect or an Editorial.
The mishap which recently befell tho
talented editor of the Champion City
(Oklahoma) Boomer is set forth in the
following extract from the last issue of
that enterprising journal:
We were the victim of an unusual
and humiliating experience last Monday
afternoon. At the time we were ab
sorbed in formulating our stirring de
nunciation of the outrageous conduct of
the French in excludiug the 'American
hog from their midst. (See editorial
columns.) The day being sultry, we
removed our coat and waistooat, and
presently, to obtain greater freedom of
action, turned down our suspenders a
In and new pair made of gay striped
bed-ticking trimmed with buckskin,
the handiwork of Auut Missouri Cash.
(Call again, Aunt Missouri)
When we completed a particularly
Ratifying sentence, we declnimed it
aloud, as is our custom when in the
throes of composition. In our enthusi
asm, we may have shouted. Alkali Ike
will have it that wo whooped. At our
second outburst, we were answered by1
a chorus of subdued snorts from under
the floor of our office. As our readers'
aro aware, there are sundry gaps iu the
foundation which permit free ingress of j
the hogs of Col. Hooke, our enterpris-i
ing real estate dealer. (See adv. of lots'
iu another column.)
Perhaps it was merely the sound of
our eloquence that excited the hogs, or
it may have been that they compre-'
heeded the force of our logic and were
aroused to wrath by the indignities
heaped upon them by the French. At
any rate they grew more excited as we
proceeded. When we completed the'
editorial, we began to declaim it in its'
eutirety, end doubtless grew louder as'
wo got warmer. It may have been that!
Jaggs, the valuable wolf dog of the'
Rev. Mr. Harper, who was passing fan-,
eied that we were endeavoring to sick
him on the hogs. At any rate, he
charged under the office and attacked
them.
The swine, as was their wont, were
corded up iu a poroupine pile under the
floor directly beneath our chair. As
JagRs foil upon them, they all rose up
at once and with them two boards of
the floor that were imperfectly nailed.
W hat followed was in the nature of a
whirlwind of events. Jaggs and the
largest hog burst up into the room.
We were inverted and struck our ocoi-,
put violently on the edge of the hole as'
ve lell in. Half stunned and wholly,
bewildered, wo were unable to rescue
ourself immediately. Jaggs made a
