IncrenatiOn.

THE Rev Charles Voysey, an eminent
English clergyman, comes out strongly in
letter to the London Inder in favor ofthe
new plan. He proposes that when death
has ensued the body should be chemically
destroyed, and then" he says, sit should
be placed in some receptacle containing
those powerful agents known to medical
science which would simply annihilate
the outward form and practically destroy
it. There would necessarily be some de
posit which one might call ashes of the
dead; and these might be reverently gath
cred, and placed in "A beautiful urn or vase
to be disposed of according to the wishes
of the survivors. They might easily be
deposited in consecrated places, in inches
in the walls of churches, or in mortuary
chapels designed tor their reception. This,
too, might be accompanied by a religious
service: so that the religious element is
left untouched by any revolutionary pro-
posal. The advantage of all this to people
of highly wrought feelings would be inn
mense. | can imagine the peaceful calm
which would steal over the mind when
one could take reverently into ones hands
the sacred urn and say, This holds all that
remains of my beloved No horror of
dark vaults and damp graves with their
seething corruption. No precious body
being eaten piecemcal by worms of the
earth or melting away in loathsome
stream. The form is changed; the sub
stance really remaining after chemical
burning is not in the least degree suggestive
of the past or the future. The body is
saved thereby from every possible dis
honor, purified from every decay No
words can describe the relief which such
a process would bring to many and many
an afflicted soul. On the ground Of health
to the community, it would also be most
salutary. We little know, in England at
least, what mischief is brewing for US in

Clever Dogs.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Ere
| ming Post says:
For many years a race Of fine New
fOundand dogs have tlourished in the vii
| LACE where | live, each individual one
| being characterized by some prominent
excellence.
One, noble fellow, was often employed
to carry packages, and was sometimes
sent to market. Nothing could exceed the
fidelity with which he performed the bust
ness entrusted to him. Late one evening
it was discovered there was no beefsteak
for breakfast, and the dog was sent for
supply. He was detained at the market
for a time, however, and being forgotten
at home, the doors were locked and the
family went to bed. In the morning the
dog was found seated beside the basket, in
which the meat lay untouched under the
guardianship maintained by him through
out the night
Another dog worthy of honorable smen-
ton once went with mother and her
child TO the village Soon after their arri-
val the little girl was burned so severely
as almost to produce convulsions. A ply
sician, an absolute stranger, was sum
mOned, under whose soothing remedies the
girl was quieted and fell asleep, when the
doctor took his leave. An hour or two
after returning to his office he heard an
unusual noise at his door, and on opening
it found the dog seeking admission. He
walked in and seated himself by the ply
sician, and began licking his hand. Then
rearing himself on his hind legs, he put
his mouth to the mans face, attempting to
lick it, uttering all the while a low cry,
and after repeating these demonstrations
for time, walked out Of the office.
Doubtless he had pondered upon bis
young mistress's sufferings, and the physi
clans efforts to relieve them, and gratitude
led him thus to express his thanks
The last of his race still lives, though
his course is nearly run. He is on terms
of the utmost goodwill with the whole
community, and among the dogs acts as
kind Of policeman. When any illfeeling
arises among them, and they begin to bark
and bite, he rushes in, and, with his i'm
mense strength, scatters the combatants
and restores quiet. Occasionally he calls
on the different inhabitants of the village,
stopping for a half hour or so, his affec-
tionate nature and his benignant coun-
tenance always winning for him vel
come.

SHOULD vice be allowed to transmit it
sell to generation after generation? On
the lst day of May a fifteen-year-old boy,
living at Greensburg, Pa, murdered boy
OF nine years, in order to obtain posses
sion OF pound of sugar. The circum-
stances OF the murder were atrocious. The
body OF the victim was found hidden un-
der pile of leaves, with broken skull
and clothing covered with blood. In
quiry showed that the boy assassin came
of depraved stock. His grandfather was
hung for murder, and his father cut his
own throat and died. In view of these
facts, we ask, but do not propose to an
swer, the question which this paragrah
opens. If answer is made by any one in
the affirmative it might be well to pro-
pound second question, as to whether
this is not case in which "euthanasia'

Education Of Women.

THE New York independent, remarking
the fact that not ont woman was saved on
the fated Atlantic, although many had the
same chance of life as the men, observes
The strength of women at the crisis of
their life depends on their physical cul-
ture while children. Let parents be no
more ashamed of their girls brown faces
and fists than of their boys. Let them
train and clothe them so that they can
run and climb and care for and protect
themselves Let them take them with
their brothers into the harvest field. \
boy is not ashamed of work; no more
should be a girl. The refinement that
shuts a girl out of Gods sunshine, and
allows her no rougher work indoors than
to embroider worsteds, or tap ivory keys
or dust marble mantel, is refining her
off of the face of the earth to give place to
the daughters of the servants of the
kitchen.

employed in this way to every 100 acres

England and Scotland produce the best
