cremation of the Dead,

Exactly how to dispose of the ashes
Of tho dead in the most satisfactory
manner, after cremation is accom-
plished, is still a question. The ancient
practice was to deposit the ashes in a
funereal urn, to be preserved in tomb
or otber-sacred place. This is also the
modern custo11s But If tombs are to be
required then there is not much need for
cremation, as the corpse may as we'll be
buried in the tomb without cremation.
4 recent American patent consists in
pro 'iding q parlor bust of the deceased,
cut ia marble, and in making hole in
the back of the bust, wherein the ashes
are tt be deposited after cremation of
the body.
A further improvement, suggested by
one of our lady correspondents, is to
prepare n wet mixture of cements for
the artificial stone or marble, and
sprinkle the ashes of the deceased into
the mixture, which is then to be cast or
pressed into the form Of busts, statuettes
or other objects. In this way various
members OF II family might possess en-
during portions OF the ashes of the de-
parted one. Scientific american.

A Knowing Dog,

Anecdotes of dogs abound. Perhaps
nine out of ten which appear in the
public prints are manufactured. Captain
Marryatt and Alphonse Kane made
them in quantity. Marryatt's best was
shout the Newfoundland dogwho, hav-
ing half dozen hats to carry in his
mouth, assorted them as to size, showing
one into the other until he made nest
of them, and thus showed his superior
Intelligence. Here is story about a
dog which seems authentic, rs it is
vouched for by the owner of the animal
and q number of newsdealers, The
dog belongs 10 suburban New York,
where the houses are far apart, Busters
master taught him six months ago to
fetch a New York daily paper, which
the newsdealer left at the garden gate,
some 100 yards from the house. Buster
did the work punctually and with great
intelligence up TO recent date. Since
that time, however, Buster has brought
to his master not only his own particu-
lar paper, but all the newspapers, ire
spective of politics, which had been left
at neighbors' doors within the area OF
half-mile. This became such nuis.
ance and caused so much trouble that
Buster low goes muzzled until nine
o'clock in the morning, at which time
it is supposed that all the newspapers
have been secured by their legitimate
owners. Thissame Buster has, however,
one very excellent trait. When he was
q puppy, wanting to be petted. he never
would allow any one to keep their
hands in their pockets. A hand TO him
was something TO be used 10 fond)e him
with Now that he is three years old,
he still believes that human hands are
out of place in pockets. No matter,
then, who is seen by Buster with his
hands in his pockets, he has them re-
moved by the dog. lie insists on insert
ing his head and nose under the PERSONS
arm and forcing the hand Uut OF the
pocket. This trait of Busters, uncom-
Portable for adults, is, Of course, very
advantageous in regard to the small
boys in the family, as the dog never
permits one them TO keep bis hands in
his pockets. Perhaps, If dogs were
quite generally trained for this particular
purpose, they would be invaluable.

Barharic Yirtues,

Another of our ordinary conceptions
has to be much widened before we can
rightly interpret political evolution.
The words civilized " and savage "
must have given to them meanings diff
fering greatly from those which are
current. That broad contrast usually
drawn wholly to the advantage OF the
men who form advanced nations, aud to
the disadvantage of the men who form
single groups, better knowledge
obliges us profoundly to qualify.
Characters are to be found am Ong rude
peoples which compare well with those
of the best among cultivated peoples.
With little knowledge, and but rudi-
mentary arts, there in some cases go vir-
tues which might shame those among
ourselves whose education and polish
are of the highest.
Surviving remnants of some primitive
races in India have natures in which
truthfulness seems to be organic. Not
only to the surrounding Hindoos, higher
Intellectually and relatively advanced
in culture, are they in this respect far
superior, but they are superior to
Europeans. Of certain of these Hill
peoples it is remarked in India that
their assertions may always be accepted
with perfect confidence; which is more
than can be said of ofdiplomatists who in
tentionally delude, or ministers who
make false statements concerning cabi-
net transactions. AS having this trait
may be named the Santals, of whom
Hunter says: "They are the most truth
fui set of men ever metz" and, again,
the Sowrahs, of whom Short says: ga
pleasing feature in their character is
their complete truthfulness, They do
not know how to tell lie." Notwith-
standing their sexual relations are of
primitive and low type; even the Todas
are described as considering falsehood
one of the worst of vices. Though Metz
says that they practice dissimulation
toward Europeans, yet he recognizes
this as a trait consequent upon their in
tercourse with Europeans; and this
judgment comedies with one given to
me by an Indian civil servant concern
ing other Hill tribes, originally distin-
guished for their veracity, but who are
rendered less veracious by contact with
the whites. So rare is lying among
these aboriginal races when unvitiated
by the civilized, that of those in Bengal,
Hunter singles out the Tipperahs as
the only Hill tribe in which this vice
is met with.-PopIlar Science Monthly.

How They Capture Hyenas.

The following mode of tying hyenas
in their dens, as practiced in Afghan.
istan is given by Arthur Connolly in
bis Overland Journal" in the words
of an Afghan chief, the Shirkaree Synd
Daoud.
when you have tracked the beast
to his den, you take rope with two slip
knots upon it, in your right hand, and
with your left holding felt cloak before
you, you 60 boldly but quietly in. The
animal does not know the nature OF the
danger and therefore retires to the back
of his den, but you may always tell
where is head is by the glare of his eyes.
You keep on moving gradually toward
him on your knees, and when you are
within distance throw the cloak over
his head, close with him and take care
he does not free himself. The beast is
so frightened that he covers back, and
though he may bite the felt, he cannot
turn his neck round to hurt you; 80 you
quietly feel for his forelegs, slip the
knots over them, and then, with one
strong pull, draw them tight up to the
back of his neck and tie them there.
The beast is now your own, and you
can do what you like with him. We
generally take those we catch home to
the kraa, and hunt them on the plain
with brides in their mouths, that our
6ogs may be taught not to fear the
brules when they meet them wild"
Hyenas are also taken alive by the
Arabs by very similar method, except
that a wooden gag Is used instead of
felt cloak. The similarity in the mode
OF capture in two such distant countries
as arc Algeria and Afghanistan, and
by two races so different, is remarkable.
From the fact that the Afghans consider
that the.foat requires great presence OF
mind, and no instaEaa. being given Of
man having died OF soite received in
clumsy attempt, we may infer that the
Afghan hyena IS more powerful or more
ierocious than his African congener.

AlllgatOrs' Nests.

These nests resemble haycocks. They
are four feet high, and five in diameter
at their bases, being constructed with
grass and herbage. First. they deposit
one layer of eggs on floor of mortar,
and having covered this with stratum
Of mud herbage eight inches thick, lay
another set of eggs upon that, and SO on
to the top, there being commonly from
i60 70 200 eggs in a nest. With their
tails they then beat down round the
dense grass and reeds, five feet high, to
prevent the approach of unseen enemies.
The female watches her eggs until they
are Matched by the heat of the sun, and
then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing for
their subsistence. Doctor Lutzember, OF
New Orleans, tol1 the writer that he
once packed up one of these nests with
the eggs in a box for the museum Of st.
Petersburg, but he wos recommended
