For dusting and cleaning velvet, roll up an old piece of crepe into a conven- ient little bundle and dust with It. Bamboo furniture as well as willow and rattan should bo cleaned by scrub- bing with soda and water or salt and water. Then rinse well with clear water. To lake ink out <if linen, dip the ink spot in pure melted tallow, then wash out the tallow, und the ink will come out with it.

Much Pomp and Expense Attached to Being Buried Properly. Oetling buried in Spain, especially In a large city like Madrid, costs a great deal of money. To begin wtlh, tlvere Is a huge black carriage, with enonnous C springs, made up of a single flat plal- fonn designed lo support Iho casket. This Is covered, but is not cnclased with glass, as are ttie funeral coaches hi-w. It is open on all slde.s. There arc four huRi> black plumes which decorate the caiTiage. Wreaths hang on the four [Kists of the platform. The wagon Is drawn up by any num- ber of horses. The fav<5rile number is ten. Tliey are harnessed in pairs. It gives a sort of tally-ho efftxjt. All the hoi-ses carry huge madding plumes on the head, fixed in the harness. To walk alongside the horses and In Iho rear there are mutes wearing black knee breeches, with black stockings and long black sliadbelly coats. They wear lilack three-cornered hats and wigs of white,. with pigtails. There are postil- lions lo ride the leaders and some of the horses intei-vening between them and the driver. It is the castom to keep the catafalque waiting outsldo the door, with the casket lying on it. The men passing In the street all remove their hals. Many go up and look at the dale of death, and the age, and most say a symjialhetic word. There are fully as many carriages as bt the funerals of the poor here. When aM the preparations have been made, the procession sots off. The hearse leads oil and progress is made in the city al a snail's pace. If the way Is muddy. OS is not unusual, Ihe mutes walking along- side gel splashed from foot lo head wilh t'lo sticky, di-sagreeable Madrid mud. When the procession gets into the out- .skirts of Iho town there is a change. The mules generally pile up behind on the carriages and by the lime the ceme- tery Ls reached the piocesslon has lost something of its dignity. This may be Imagined from the fact that some of the mules are clinging to streps in back of Ihe oolTln and laughing and jctiling as tliey jolt along. Such a funeral will cost very close to $1,000, and that is not con.sidcrod much.

POST OFFICE AT SINGAPORE. Troubles That Carriers Have in Makinfl Their Deliveries. The post olTlce al Singapore must be a Tower of Babel.

The postmen have their work cut out, and when there comes a Ta- mil letter they often have lo beat up the countryside for the man with no fixed abode, and they often have to read out the addresses and origin of uU their letters at each lunise they visit. There are other obstacles in the way of the speedy delivery of leWers. Dogs, for example. The Malay postman is a Mohammedan, and when the friendly (log accosts him (dogs always accost pcstmon) llie touch is a dedlemenl. The postman must bathe.
