CREMATION LEGAL

IS CREMATION LEGALf
 The recent decision of the English High Court of Justice concerning the cremation question is likely to provoke considerable dis cussion. Henry Crookenden in his last will directed that his body should be given to his friend, Miss Eliza Williams, be burned by her on funeral pyre, and that the ashes should be placed in Wedgewood vase, the ''uItimate disposal" of which is left entirely to her. Mir. Crookenden WAS a Catholic and when he died his executors and family, disre- garding the earnest protest of Miss Williams, had him buried But Miss Williams intended to carry out the wishes of her dead friend and craftily applied to the Home Secretary for permission to remove the body to another cemetery. This permission given, and Miss Williams having obtained possession Of it took it to Italy and then had it burned in accordance with MT. Crookenden's directions, and then buried the vase and ashes anew, and brought her action against the executors to recover the expenses incurred by her in oar- rying out the testator's intentions. The Court held that she could not recover that she had obtained the Home Seoretary's permission by misrepresentation and illegally; that there 
 human body; that the provisions of the will with regard to it's delivery to Miss Williams were wholly void; and that, in the opinion of the Court, though this was not considered as being necessarily involved in the decision cremation itself was illegal.
 This decision, as the New York Eocning Post points out, seems to be founded on the idea that such testamentary directions as those contained in the will of Mir. Crooksn- den are designed to make gift of 8 corpse to the person authorized to carry out those directions. "What the will means is that the testator dislikes burial and prefers to be burned. In order to make sure that this shall be done, he gives minute directions on the subject. The decision therefore, would seem to make cremation inpossibility in England, unless the executors are willing to consent, or, in other words, to transfer the decision of the nature of the funeral rites from the person immediately concerned to his executors, and to enable those persons who have taken upon themselves to carry out his last will to do exactly the opposite of what he desired" The Post further says |: '"The question really is, can 8 man determine what his own funeral rites shall be, or is it determined for him by law and custom The tendency of the entire Western world is to loosen the bonds of both in matters of re- lgious observance, and leave them open to individual choice and taste That the choice and taste must be that of tho persons most directly concerned-that is, of the persons who are to bs buried or burned, and not of third persons whose choice and taste are diff ferent-would seem to be necessary conss- quence."

 Not cent would our young cowboy host accept for dinner That isn't in our line," he said. ''You're welcome to come here any time and stay as long as you like, and the boys would say the same at any cattle camp" Nor would he even accept cigar, saying that he neither smoked drank, and that his chief pleasure was in reading, which is again calculated to the eastern eye to regard the cowboy from different focus
 Mounting ponies we rode northward into 8 vast stretch of deserted plains. Mile after
 mile passed away over one long, low swell after another, the summit of each divide showing another just beyond, not 8 house nor living creature in sight, nothing but space,
 immensity, the endless reach of the prairies
 everywhere touching the horizon, and the
 silence and loneliness almost appalling
 Once came to deserted ''dugout''-a a
 turf house with only the roof above ground
 and the main part dug out like cellar and
 entered by low door. Near by was well.
 Dismounting idly dropped stone down
 At once there rose venomous hiss and a
 blood curdling rattle. My companions,
 laughing at my start back, peered down into
 the well and pointed out huge rattlesnake
 coiIed on board in the shallow pool at the
 bottom. His snakeship had fallen in and
 was unwillingly personifying truth. Gal
 loping onward something white twinkled in
 the sunlight ahead, and a graceful antelope
 bounded off down the wind, stopping occa-
 sionally to look back, then with whisk of
 his white tail leaping onward at 8 rate to
 rouse envy in the breast of jack-rabbit.
 Rising from a depression herd of four wild
 horses came in sight, and instantly plunged
 of, neighing shrilly, their names and flowing tails streaming in the wind as they arched their beautiful pecks and fairly devoured the space that lay between them and the horizon. It is rarely that they are seen so near the railroad, although forty miles to the north there large herds, and their capture forms the chief occupation of many hunters. But my ride has led ms away from cattle. Perhaps the tale of visit to typical ranch will suffice. At Kinsley I met 8 young New Yorker who with his brother has been here for ten years. Beginning with less than 100 cattle they have now about 5000, the aver age value being about $40.

The l fact that none of the cattle -raisers own their land, or at most not more than land enough along a stream to insure 8 water privilege, I perhaps adds to their feeling of independence, | for. mounted on their horses with the end 1 less plains before them, they can but feel | that the whole boundless universe is theirs, with none to dispute their right to the coun- | try that has known no masters save the buff | faIo the Indian and themselves

A story has been extensively circulated to the effect that the nickel nennies issued from 1856 to 1858, and commonly known as ''buz. gard" pennies, contained some gold which had been accidentally mixed with the alloy of copper and nickel of which the pennies were made. Recently, J. c. Rodney of Austin, Texas, sent twenty of these pennies to the United States Assay office, in New York city, with the information that the pennies were being bought up at fifteen dollars per hun dred by spectators on the supposition that they contained gold. He asked for an assay and information as to the truth of the story. The communication and coins were forward ed to the mint at Philadelphia. Superin- tendent Snowden, of the Philadelphia mint, in letter to Superintendent Van Wyck, of the Assay office, says that the pennies con- tain no precious metal, and consist of an al Joy of S5 per cent of copper and 15 per cent. of nickel. The false impression as to the presence of precious metals in the coins he thinks grew out of the fact that the pieces of 1856, technically known as pattern pieces, were given fictitious value because but few of them were issued, and were eagerly sought after by numismatists on account of their rarity, from 50 cents to $1 apiece being paid for them. These pattern pieces were ob- tained from the mint by dealers in, or col Iectors of, coin, and they were readily dis posed of at the premium demanded as curi osities.
