The Difficulties Of Cremationists.

p few years ago the Babus of CAL
cutta, hearing about a new cremation
apparatus invented in America, called a
s'public meeting," where the members
expatated on the virtues of the new
machine, and subscribed for it on the
spot. The order was sent, and in due
time came the much-coveted apparatus.
The Babus received it with due honors,
and placed it in one of the principal
burning ghauts. After all the prescribed
SanSkarS they brought the dead body to
the machine. But here, for the first
time, they became conscious of slight
ditiiculty-they did not know how to
use it! They consulted machinists and
sanitary doctors, who pronounced the
apparatus perfectly useless for the Gre
nation of Hindu body with the cere-
monies enjoined by the Shastras. Great
was the disappointment of the reform
ers. But they called another meeting,
addressed each other in long-winded
orations, consulted the authorities, but
all to no effect, when, oh happy thought!
-"Brothers, said one of the REFORM
ers, ''the best plan would be to burn
dead bodies near the machine when we
can not do so in the machinel" The
machine may be still found adjoining
the ghaut, and round about it are dead
bodies burned in the orthodox fashion.
Thus are the gods of Babudom propiti-
eted, and thus the spirit of sanitary re-
form indicated !-PdH Mall Gazette.

A Curious Fall.

At Minneapolis, recently, two men,
Campbell and Sullivan, were at work
on the electric light mast, when the
rope holding the 600-pound balance
weight slipped. They both had hold of
the rope, fifteen feet from the ground.
and as it began to go up Campbell let
go, and fell the fifteen feet, while Sulli-
van held on and was whisked, in the
twinkling of an eye, to the top, 275 feet,
where he reached for wire cable and
slipped unframed to the ground. A curl
ousfeatureof Incorporation was, that when
Campbell struck the ground he looked
up and saw Sullivan at the top reaching
for the wire by which he descended,
showing that Campbell was just as long
in falling his fifteen feet as Sullivan was
in going up 26O.-Det1Oit Post.

An Owl on q Spree.

A well-known place of physical re-
freshment in Concord, N. H., is pre-
sided over by John Adams, man of
such tender sensibilities that when, the
other night, just as he was shutting up
shop, he discovered half-frozen owl
on the doorstep, he took the bird in and
made it comfortable. When he retired
for the night he left the owl perched
upon the safe, to which one of its legs
was fastened by stout cord, and blink
ing with extreme gratitudean devotion.
AS soon as he had gone the owl bit the
cord in two, devoured every fragment
of food on a well-stocked lunch counter,
sampled every kind of liquor in the
saloon, broke all the bottles and decan-
tiers within reach, and in the morning
when the doors were opened was stand
ing so1emnly behind the bar ready for
business Worcester (NdSS.) Gazette.

Preparing the Ground for a Lawn.

The success of lawn depends upon
vast deal of work that is quite out
OF sight. We expect more o.
the soil devoted to the lawn
than we do of any other part
of the grounds, for we are continually
cropping it, and it can only give con-
slant succession OF grass when the roots
have deep soil and sufficient nourish-
ment. AS it is desirable to have the
grass well established be ore hot
weather comes, the seed must be
sown early, and to this end the soil
must be prepared as early as the
season will allow. Only small areas,
such as fruit yards, croquet and
tennis grounds, should be perfect
ly level. A slightly undulating
surface is more pleasing to the eye than
a dead level, and it may be made to give
the impression of greater extent if the
surface is laid out in gentle swells, and
will give better fleet if lightly higher
as it approaches the house. OF course
there must be nothing like abrupt hills
and holows, and if any such occur where
the lawn is to be, they must be either
cut down or filed in. If the lawn is
such that it would require draining
to fit it for garden crops. then it will
need draining TOR lawn. Indeed, all
but very light sandy soils will be i'm
proved by draining with tiles The
depth and distance apart o the drains
should be such as are found best in the
fields OF the vicinity. The next re-
quis tie is a deeply worked soil In En-
gland the soil is thoroughly trenched
two spades deep, but we can hardly ex-
pect our PEOPLE. who avoid the use of
the spade where er possible, to trench
the ground for lawn. The most we
can hope for is the deepest practicable
blowing, with the use of the subsoil pillow.
Ii the soil is poor, a generous coating of
manure should be turned under, but
If in fair condition, top-dressings may
be depended upon for fertilizing. After
this preliminary work, the ground
should remain as long as possible be-
fore sowing, in order that it may proper
ly settle. If in any place the ground
settles uneyenly, then fresh soil must be
added, where needed, to bring the low
spots up to the proper level. Whether
the lawn is to e laid down with seed, or
as is sometimes pre- cradle, if the area
is small, with turf, the prel minary
preparation must be equally thorough,
