Exhibited the Corpse in the Window.

In Philadelphia the other day there was a striking evidence of the intense desire of some people to “exhibit the remains” at funerals. A man had died of diphtheria and the authorities very properly refused to permit a public funeral. So the family had the coffin containing the oorpse stood on end in front of a window of the house so that the face of the dead could be viewed fron. the street. —New York Tribune,
