CURRENT CURIOSITIES.

THERE were two chickens Matched

A CHILD was born in Queens county.
Canada, "a short time ago, with bear s

curiosity, attempted to purchase it, but
nothing would induce tho woman 10

Cemeteries

The old system of cutting cemetery
grounds into small lots surrounded by
hedges, bids fair TO pass away entirely.
All over the country, the park land
scape or lawn system Is gaining favor.
Il consists in a series of plantations of
shrubs and trees, 80 arranged that the
effect Of the entire cemetery, from the
main drives, is that of an extensive
park, all evidence of existing burial
grounds being shut of by foliage. OF
course, in this system, the hedges and

Vaults or catacombs are excavated in
the hillsides, and memorial buildings of
all kinds erected in retired hooks. More
land is required for this arrangement,
