The Cremation Movement.
SINGULAR TESTAMENT DIRECTING ITS ADop
TION.

One Of the wealthiest persons in
New-York, after reading our suggestion
in The Monut tacturer and Builder that
the most useful thing to be done with
dead bodies of men and animals, is to
make gas Of them and use the remainder
for fertilizing purposes, given in our
last November number, has made the
following codicil to a testament drawn
up long ago, and bequeathing all the
profits: to public useful purposes. The
codicil reads thus:
"Not wishing that my body, after
death, shall add to the injury produced
by poisonous efnuvia diffused from the
cemeteries among their surroundings, I
direct that the unavoidable dissolution
Of my remains into gaseous and earthly
matters, shall be hastened by crena-
ton, instead of being retarded by burial,
thus utilizing its material directly for
the vegetable kingdom, to which We all
must once furnis b food, and at the
same time guarding myself against the
awful possibility sof resurrection in a
closed and buried coffin. The ancients
in burning the bodies Of their dead,
supposed that the so-called soul or spir.
it ascended to heaven with the flames.
Chemistry has taught us in our century
that something more real ascends,
namely, different gasses, especially d.
vers carbon compounds, which may at
once be utalized, aud that the remain
ing ashes may be- kept separate and
prevented from being mixed with
those Of the fuel ~ the details pre-
scribed in this viii, namely I direct
that my remains, after manifesting the
only sure sign Of death, greenish dis
coloration Of the abdomen, may be SUBJ
mitted to an autopsy BY some profes-
sors Of the medical defar) )ment Of the
University Of New York, il they think
that it may be useful for the prog gress
Of science. My remains 81 all then be

B. B. Herbert, Grange -AdpQnce:
In looking over the proceedings \of
the last County Council held at Feath-
erstone in March last, I was astonished,
to tell you the truth about it, to see the
resolutions that were passed there, at
least part Of them, and that too with a
rush as have since been informed.
They were momentous questions too.
I will only refer to two Of these
resolutions. The first that I shall
notice is the one on the temperance
question. It is we'll known that the
foreign population Of this country is
quite an element in the Grange. Their
habits are formed in the mother coun
try and brought here with them.
Among these habits is the use Of beer,
and they all like it, and it is in fact a
part Of their being. Take the lager
beer away and where is the German =?
Take the whiskey away and where is
the Irishman? Take away the ale and
where is your Englishman? Yet all
these nationalities belong to the Grange,
are benefit, and are improving as
farmers and citizens. But they do not
like the idea ofsuch a resolution being
passed with rush, without the ques.
ton having been brought before their
respective Oranges for action before.
hand There was no notification Of
such action prior to the Council.
The second one to which I will call
attention is the one approving and re-
commencing the Farmers Insurance
Company Of Minneapolis. Now it is
we'll known that We organised to protect
ourselves from monopolies and hum
bugs, yet with rush the Council ap-
proves and recommends the Minneap.

least, there are grave doubts about the

"The time is not far distant when the
great West and Southwest will legislate
for their own interests, and then New
England will find her mills without
grist, and the money gods of the East
will be no longer masters Of the situa-
tion.
"Now, if New York is not given a
better administration of her municipal
affairs, if her population is to be driven
from the island by the want of quick
transit, if her people are to all become
set Of note-shaving and railway bond
stealing harpies, if there is to be no en-.
terprise and public spirit within her do
mains, why then she is likely, in the
years to come, to be a mere shipping

phia, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and
New Orleans grow up to be the great
cities of America. IF the great West
and Southwest legislate business into

greed and sloth of New York, the great

Sliced Bread Puddiny.-Cut some
slices Of light cold bread, and butter
them, then spread preserves of any kind
over them, and repeat until you fill your
pan or mould. Beat four eggs, pour
over the bread in the pan one pint of
boiling milk, then the eggs; place the
mould in boiling water, cover it with a
cloth, and let it boil twenty minutes.
Serve with nice sauce.
Potato Soup.-T#o and a half lbs. of
peeled potatoes, cut. once or twice in
two. boil in three quarts Of water for
half an hour; the9Ryk in two teaspoon
fnls of salt, some 1ep1er, and four ouu-
ces of butter; whfaE&e potatoes have
boiled to pieces sdAe, bash the Jumps
aud stir in one pint of milk. Let it
boil up and it is done. If thickened
with one or Ew6 s0dx Grad kers, it tastes
very much like oyster soup.

BAD WHARF.-THE London Lancet
speaks as follows of poor we'll water ;
The dangers of bad milk are engrossing
so much attention just now, that there
is reason to fear lest the far greater dan
gers of bad water should for the time
be overlooked. We trust this serious
error will not be committed. For one
sample Of dangerous milk tt ousand Of
dangerous water could be obtained in
almost any part Of the country. Let
it never be forgotten tbAt very few
rivers or wells are safe solrces Of water
supply, and that many aye as unsafe as
loaded firearms. The (hallow wells of
villages are amongthe Pests of the coun-
try, and it is hi h Vim e that Jealous
and we'll organized Crusade should be
brought to bear upon them. 1t is sick
ening in most countryiplaces to observe
the uniformity with Which the cesspool
and we'll are made to stand side by
side, as though each was necessary for
the other; and to think of twenty feet
or so of foul, sewerage-reeking soil
through which the water percolates to
its fetid bed! The question should en-
gage the attention Of every health officer,
and will, in too many cases, tax his en-.
ergies severely, for it is one of the
hardest sanitary problems. It is always
possible to provide a city or town with
good water, but, in village, where
houses are few, money scarce, ard in
telligence scarcer, it is matter of ex.
ceeding difficulty.
