Tbs 'stumpy" ap pearance of the gun is caused by the re duced length of the barrel being only twenty-four Inches long. The complete hand-guard protection is a necessary fea ture for the vafety of the aoldier in these daya of high-pondered amokelcss powder, and muzzle velocities of 2,"ub feet a second. Tins la the second model of the 24-inch barrel rifle made in Springfield. The first, 1Hu3, was equipped with a ramrod bayonet. It was the testimony of experts in favor of the great service of the bayonet in the recent Japanese war that caused the koifi bayonet to be revived in America. To make up for the 6-inch shortening of tha barel, the new bayonet is sixteen Inches long, making the total length of the gun the same as the present regulation Krag-Jorgensen.

"There was a time,-' lfl the under taker, "when everything about the under taking business was pretty solemn and somber. In those days we had no such things as burial caskets, but everybody was burled In a coffin, and there wasn't much variety in coffins. "We did make them of mahogany and of oak. to be sure, as well as of pine, but a coffin was a coffin, whatever you made it of, and It was a universal aymbol of deatlu "It had the accumulated terror of ages aboifl It, and It was something that tha living, going about ' their buainesa, didn't want to aei:. "Now It's different. Fully three-quarters of the people that die now In cities are buried, not in coffins, but In burial caskets, which are as different from the ancient coftin as it is possible for them to be. Se riously, I regard the inventor of the mod ern burial casket as a benefactor of his race. lie has at least robbed the grave of some of Its terror. "In the old days the cabinetmaker very likely combined undertaking with bis cabi net business, and made oofflns la his back shop. Now In ritlea few undertakers make their own coffins, and all the caskets are made in great factories, equipped with modern machinery." There are carved caskets of fine wood, caskets of aluminum, caskets plush covered or covered with embossed velvet. "In old times coffins were sometimes' made to order for Individual requirements, but commonly a stock of coffins was kept on hand, and these tbe undertaker might keep stored on shelves or displayed stand ing on end In a row behind the glass doors of a tall vertical showcase along one side of his show room. You might still find such a display as this, but not often. "As a rule, now. the burial receptacles that the undertaker keeps in his show room are most, if not altogether, caskets. They might be contained in cabinets, or they might be secured, in vertical position, to the backs of panels running continu ously along the side of the room, and forming, to the eye, a continuous high pan eling. Each of these panels, with a cas ket attached to It, Is so pivoted and bal anced that without effort It can be pulled forward and down into a horizontal posi tion for th display of the casket at a convenient height from the floor. "When the member of the family or the friend commissioned for this service comes to select a casket,' the undertaker can show caskets In various styles, and If he i has not, tvau in his varied stock, a caikct precisely such as may be required, be may sell one from the Illustrated catalogue of the manufacturer, or he may take the purchaser to the warerooms of the manu facturer to select fiom the all but endless variety of casketa there to be found. "All this Is very different from the old time wsys. 'To come back for a moment to tha un dertakers' window displays of which wa were speaking. We may now see occa sionally In them a newer and later featura In displays of burial robes, and the robes thus shown may be both costl and beauti ful. Such robes and garments have largely supplanted the old-time shroud. "We have as vat no automobile hearses, but they are sure to come. Sooner or later we shall find automobile, carriages In fu neral processions, and the automobile hearse will come in due time." "I suppose, Mr. N ah," said the news pxper reporter, "that you found It a great task to secure pairs of the larger animals, such as the rhinoceros and the elephant?" "No. really; It was the smaller things that gave me the greatest trouble. Imaglna the Infinite, palnstnklng cure necessary to see that no more than one pair of fleas shipped for the voyage. It la things like that that make one gray by the time hm'm K0 year eld." Washington. Tims 0 J J "
