often think,’? said a clergyman who is frequently called upon to officiate 
at funerals, “that ope funeral is apt to lay the foundation for another. In no de- 
tail of ordinary life are the people more careless of health than as they stand 
around the grave. Oil one of the recent cold days a pretty feature of a young girl’s 
funeral was the presence of little girl pall-bearers. The children all wore white ■■ 
dresses, and the white coffin with the flowers added to the lack of horror about 
the ceremony. This was all very well while we remained in the furnace-heated . 
house, but as the funeral cortege took its way to the cemetery the white-gowned • 
little girls went also. ’ In the bleak wind they stood, shivering, and, although some # 
one threw wraps over their shoulders, I noticed that each poor little girl’s teeth were | 
chattering. When raip or snow is falling the last rites become even more dangerous t 
to health. I wish that' St. Louis might adoptthe method of inclosing the grave in a I 
tent, or at least putting a canopy over it, as is commonly done in Eastern cemeteries J 
during inclement weather. — Si. Louis Globe Democrat." |
