A Good Word for Cremation.

There are only three ways in which
dead bodies can be disposed of-either
in earth, sea, or fire There are obvi-
Gus objections, on the score of good
taste, to sending our dead to be torn TO
bits by fishes. 1t is also certain that
our cemeteries and grave-yards, with
slowly-decomposing masses of animal
matter, leads to the surrounding soil
being poisoned by the products of pu-
trefaction-- "A result that can not be con-
sidered healthy by any stretch of mag
ination. But ii we burn dead body to
ashes we do, or need do, injury to no.
body. There is nothing unwholeSomee
in the ashes, which may be preserved
with reverent care as sacred relics, and
people who prefer to burn their dead
rather than lot them ''lie in cold OBJ

science on their side. Indeed we have
never heard of anything like a good ar
gument against cremation, save one
1t is that started by u Belgian states
man, who holds that, il we burn dead
bodies, we lessen tho chances Of detect

would be possible TO devise means
whereby, while the body was consumed,
the stomach Of each corpse might be
preserved for certain time after death,
lest IL might be wanted for analysis. ---
We do not share the terror of those
bishops who, like DR., Wordsworth, think
that cremation may tamper with the
popular belief in the resurrection Of
the body; nor can we aifectto sympa-

when cremation was once brultcd in
his presence. is said to have asked with
horror; "But, then, what shall we do

Weight Of Men and Women.
As Determined by Over 10000 People at the Las,
Cincinnati Exposition.


As Determined by Over 10000 People at the Last
Cincinnati Exposition
The comparative weight of men and
women, and tho average weight OF gen.
cral humanity has always been an IN
tefesting subject. So the little circular
issued BY Mr., A. Collord, Chairman
of the last CINCINNATI Exposition, cam
not fail to attract attention. He says;
1T will be remembered that permission
was given the Department of Scienllhc
Educational Appliance to employ 2
clerk to record the weights OF men ana
women being weighed during the exhi,
btion. The sheets containing th@rocord
have now been added up, and the COM
mittee reports as follows;
The object sought was determina-
ton of the average weight OF men and
women, fact often required by civil
and mechanical engineers. Haswell
states that the average weight OF $1,000
men and women, weighed at Boston in
1854, was-men. l4l! pounds; women,
1241. We have always thought these
weights too low for Western people. The
number weighed at the Tenth Cincln-
natl Industrial Exposition was p, 100,
and the total weight 3,072, 306 pounds.
Men weighed, 7,467; weight, 1850. 1903
pounds. Women weighed, l4,6SS;-
weight, 1,922,l9S pounds. Average
weight of men, l54.02 pounds average
weight of women, 130S7 pounds.
For men this is 1852 pounds higher
than the Boston average AND for women
6.37 pounds higher.
We also determined with reasonable
certainty the average weight OF people
from the country, independently of the
general average, This was rendered
possible by the excursions that were
coming here at various times from this
and the adjoining states, parts of which
were weighed
For Ohio Average weight Of 14l mer
was 1898 pounds; average weight O.
10 women was 1926 pounds.
For Southern Indiana and Illinois
Average weight of 1923 men was 1888:
pound average weight of 1913 womel
was 1885 pounds.
For Kentucky-Average weight of l.
men was 1853. 43 pounds; average weigh
of 1873 women was 1876 pounds.
The mean of these averages is 81
much above the general average MS t
attract attention. For men it is 40
pounds higher, and for women &c,
pounds The very high, and approx
mate, average of those from Southern
Indiana and Illinois and from Ken
lucky recalls the Kentucky origin of tn
former.

with marking cotton, or with soft, un-
