Commission on Funerals.

The latest method adopted by Parisian undertakers for increasing their business is a circular notifying house-owners that they will be paid a handsome commission if they will promptly send word to an undertaker as soon as one of their tenants dies. On a flrst-class funeral the commission will amount to S4O, to which may be added a commission of 5 per cent, on all wreaths purchased by relatives and friends of the deceased.
