The question is now often suggested, what will we do with our dead, and the advocates of incremation are increasing We doubt, however, if any of our readers are economical and matter-of- fact enough, to be pleased with the method pursued by some grave-diggers in Palermo. These practical men, it seems, were in the habit of cutting up plump, feshy corpses. boiling them, and using the greese, thus obtained, for making salves and pomades. It is needless to say that as soon as knowl- edge of this trade reached the authori- ties, the business was interrupted by some arrests.

It is astonishing. how many farmers buy 'spatent rights, ,"Swith the idea that of dollars. The way it comes about is thus: One man in g county will have realized considerable from patent rights, and that will be sufficient to induce others to attempt the same thing. Then it is only necessary for some stranger with an oily tongue and trifing inven- tion to come along, and they are ready to take the bait, some even borrowing money and moftgaging the farms, sure of winning it all back. That farmers, having common sense, and knowing by hard experience how dollars are won, should be deIuded in this way is great mystery, and it is td be confessed that they are only half made.
