"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.

were speaking. We may now see occa

thus shown may be both costl and beauti

"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
