Cremation.

The increase in the number OF people
who believe in creation, either as a mat
ter Of health or a. preferable process
10 the slow decay OF burial, is leading
20 projects to build more furnaces.
There is TO be one erected near Chicago,
and one near New Orleans. When the
prejudice against it wears OIL it is not at
all unlikely that the fashion will spread
as rapidly as all new notions and FASH
ions are apt 10 spread in the United
States. There is a smaller number OF
people in this country than in any 9TH
or who are bound by tradition, and any
new departure which appeals to their
common sense has not, as is the case in
older countries, much ancient habit and
tradition to contend with. Probably
there are already many who would de-
sire this method of disposlng OF their
remains were il rot that its Oddity
brings the one who chooses It into I'M
pleasant nOtOrlety. Were il TO be con-
sidered perfectly legitimate and ra-
tional form of burial, it would, even il
il were not common habit, be Oftener
resorted to than ii is now. Doubtless,
too, improvements in the method will
render it more attractive as well
as more.econOmical. Ii might be so con-
Quoted rs to give no more hint or evl-
dence of the process of disruption than
that which goes on beneath the mantle
of the earth. Afrer the last farewell Is
taken of the remains nothing more need
De known Of their disposal and the UNI
seen ashes might be sacrcdly preserved
and marked by monuments as they are
now. Il is purely a question oil chem
istrv. and all the tender associations to
which people now cling might still, in u
great measure, be respected. But the
process Of convincing the imagination
and the feelings that this is all will prove
a very long one; both those who are To
survive will shrink from ceremony
which shocks and Outrages them, and
earth burial will long remain the chief
and almost the only method of dispOs-
ing of the death. At the same time the
number OF those who will prefer crema-
ton will increase from year To year,
particularly among those who hold To no
liked religious beliefs in regard to I'M
mortality and the resurrection OF the
body.
I'm ancient Zines when dissertation OF
graves, especially OF the grave OF an en-
envy, was more common than now, Gre
nation had the advantage of preventing
that particular form Of outrage. "To he
kuaved out of our graves" said Sir
Thomas Browne, 200 years ago, "to have
our skulls made drinking bowls and our
bones turned into pipes, to delight and
sport our enemies, are tragical ahOmina-
tons escaped in burning burials. And
To those who fear the incursIOns OF the
medical student, cremation will at least
afford sense of security not otherwise
obtainablc, unless one be drowned IN
the depths of the sea.

A POET, many years ago, wrote that
babe in a house is well-sprlng OF
pleasure. The influence OF a dear little
child over the heart of a father, 1t is inn
possible to estimate. The editor of the
Christian expresses it in the following in
cident: Leaving home this morning for
the office, we kissed our little fOur-year-
old goodbye, saying to him, BE good
bow" He somewhat surprised US by re-
plving, IL will. BE good man, papa. 4"
Sure enough, we thought, we need the
exhortation more than he. And who
could give it more etiectually than this
guileless prattler? The words of the
little preacher have been ringing in our
ears all day, and whether We wrote let
tiers or editorials, pacitied an irate cores
pondent whose illusions we could not
publish, or pruned down too lengthy
report, We seemed To hear the sweet
child-voicc saying, "Be good man,
papa" II the exhortatiOn had been by
Paul or Peter, would ii base had more
force than coming from this little apostle
of innocence2 We think not, at least TO
our heart. oh, how many little chill
drcn, il not in words, vet by the help
lessness Of their lives, and the trustful-
ness of their little hearts, are pleading
most eloqucntly, "Papa, he good
man. Nav their tender admonltion
be blessed OF God To the rescue OF many
precious souls from the wreck and ruin
of sinful lives.

CHARLES READE.
How the Great Novelist Works
His Personal Annearance.


When Mr.. Reade speaks OF writing as
a laborious and difficult art, says Lon
don Truth, he is not talking at random.
His books ara constructed with an
amount OF labor which superficial OBJ
servers might not detect. ITO avoid de-
scribing Hydepark, he observed to Mr..
Hewitt, "and calling il Australia, read
some thirty books about that country"
/ NAV add that he works by fits and
starts. He feels that he must be "in the
vein" to do anything. Occasionally he
forces himself; but the results are in
different. Herein he differs from Sir
Walter Scott, who went steadily to work
every morning at six. Scott, by the
way, is favorite OF Reade's, who calls
him the British Homer" Perhaps the
test OF true appreciation OF Scott is that
man should love "Rokeby;" and
Reade can quote with zest from that I'M
derrated poem. With respect 10 Scott,
the novelist, admirers of Mr.. Reade will
scarcely be disposed 10 allow that "The
Cloister and the Hearth" yields in ex-
cellence to a single one OF the Enchant-
er's productions. l think Reade went
to Holland and Germany on purpose 10
collect materials for that masterpiece.
Apparently bis thoughts took a more
serious turn from the date OF that voy-
age. An old comrade Of his observed,
gloOmily, HE used 10 be such q jolly
fellow, then he went to Germany and
had his hair cut; and i don't know
what il was, but he seemed to be chang

At present his appearance is that oil a
