Tn. publication Of the will Of q
wealthy and eccentric Englishman, who
bequeathsd fifty pounds to the London
Gas. Company, on condition that they
should take his body and burn 1t in one
Of their retortS, has revived the old dis
cussion concerning cremation and burial.
Agentleman, a country clergyman, writes
to the London Standard that he trusts
public attention will be drawn 10 this
subject before certain parts Of England,
by reason Of the number and crowded
condition Of the graveyards, become as
bad as the Pontine Marshes, He assertA
that many English officers who have re-
sided among people where cremation Is
prscticed, are strongly in favor Of lie
adoption in their own country. A writer in
Galignani also fayors the custom, and gives
some directions for burning bodies, which,
however, do not sppearto be as complete
as successful employment oIthe process
would demand. In certain Indian dis
tricts, where cremation has long been sub
stituted for burial, the use Of peculiar
ointments and woods prevents oil gaseous
e1halations, and asbestos winding sheet
preserves the ashes in almost, as molten
sive state as that described by Lord
Lytton in his interesting account Of the
mythical Voil.Ya.

Those who now enjoy the iullnesS Of
this greatest Of modern household con-
veniences, have little knowledge Of the
laboriohs effort connected with the Gull
nary department in an era that Is vet
within the memory Of some Of our oldest
citizens. Perhaps 1t may add to their
appreciation Of 1t to go back q little in
the history Of its progress. In the day Of
small things when the foundry business
was carried on by Neel q Allen and by
Mr., Cooper and by Cnthbert & Co. and
BY the late Thos, Pollock, 1t would have
been an inpossiblity to manufacture such
stoves as we have now. In that day
iron was melted In the primitive DIR fur
mace, the modern .cupola with ita power
full machine blast was unknown. One
can scarcely believe that within the
memory Of living persons the very exis-
tence Of coal in the hills around this city
was unknown, or II known, 1t was to
but few. -5sl .'..s.a.f.
Wood was the only fuel used both for
heating and cooking purposes, and the
kitchen fire place was nearly Of the
dimensions Of small bedroom. The
great brick oven and the iron Dutch oven
were the perfect arrangements OF that
day for baking and roasting, and
they roasted the cooks almost as
much as the meats. Any Of our mod.
ern cooks who are obliged temporarily 10
cook on q CRATE, regard that institution as
an invention Of the evil one. What then
must have been It's power TO destroy the
peace and happiness Of our tidy grand.

lty Of wood admitted Of nothing else
Every want stimulates invention to sup

ern cook stove was sort Of iron oven
placed at the end Of the CRATE. For some
time sickly sort Of happiness was afford
ed BY that Improvement, but we may say
that even such meager comfort was LOST
in the first stoves that came into use
These early specimens were not much
either for beauty or utility, they vert
Ill looking, and more lily constructed
small in size and great in imperIections
Some Of them smoked and gave the kitch
en- the appearanceof a lampblack factory
others would not bake, and they al
burned too much coal. These imperfec-
tons were not surprising when we refec
that the stoves were made In the same es
