Cremation In tho East.

Among the Hindoos, as every one
knows, the process of cremation is
common, and at Berarcs its practice
may be observed at any hour, alike be,
meath the burning rays Of the noonday
sun and by the light of the pale moon.
Many a poor sufferer strains his last eff.

there to die on the hallowed ground
The expense OF wool for the funeral
pyre being too great to secure the burn
ing OF the whole body, it is partly
charrcd, and then sent to float down
the holy stream into the eternity of the
sea. The wealthier Hindoos are more
formal III the disposal Of the dead. AT
ter bathing the body i'll the river it is
swathed i'll a Shroud of white, scarlet
or saffron colored material sometimes
even covered with cloth Of gold or sill
yer, some vermiion paint, symbolizing
the blood of sprinllling, is then thrown
over it, and the body is LAID upon the
pyre, After adding sweet grass, pre-.
cious oil, and more wood, the chief
mourner bears a lighted torch three or
nine times round the body, touches the
dead lips with the holy flame, and
lights the pyre. Then it is kindicd in
several other places, and in very short
time the body is consumed by the flame
The ashes are gathered up, and the
Ganges bears them away.
In Japan cremation is not so publicly
performed. A plain-looking house in
the corner ofatheF country cemetery,
side Id..' Of IIch VI, assk g. sirt low
stone enclosures, serves as IL crematory.
The body, in a sstting attitude, is pac-
ed on Il heap OF dry tagOts in one of the
enclosures, and when after six or eight
hours the fire is burned out, nothing is
left but Il few white ashes, those are
put into an earthenware urn and buried
with OF without religious rites. The
burning Of the bodies is not compulsory
i'll Japan, but Buddhlsts of the Monte
sect are nearly without exception Gre
mated.
The town crematories differ only
from those in the country by their tall
chlmneys, by which unpleasant odors
are kept from becoming troublesome
to the neighborhood. There is IL small
room kept separate for the wealthler
people i'll which they have their dead
burned apart. For the use Of this pri.
Vate apartment they pay twenty shill-
lings, whiio those who prefer to be
burned III company pay about the fifth
part Of this sum. The fuel only costs
about one shilling. From 8 p. NJ. to &
a. NJ. the fires burn Oh the granite sup
ports which are laid on the earthall
floor, and from each of these hearths
the ashes are gathered and put separa-
tcly into an urn. There is no smell to
annoy any one, and no nuisance Terri
pic as cremation may appear to some,
the process is far less hidcous in it's de-
tails than that which has it's slow course
in the deep narrow bed into which the
tlOwer-cOyered coffin is lowered from
our sight.

Food Makos tho Man.

Speaking roughly, about three .fourths,
by weight, of the body of man is constltu-
ted by the fluid he consumes, and the re .
naming fourth by the solid material he
appropriatcs. 1t IS therefore no figure OF
speech to say that food makes the man.
We might even put the case in stronger
light and affirm that man Is his food. 1t
Is strictly and literally true that "a man
who drinks beer thinks beer" We make
this concession to the tee totallors, and
will add that good sound beer is by no
means bad thought factor. whatever may
be the intellectual value of the commodity
commonly sold and consumed under that
namcl 1t can not obviously be matter
or indifference what man cats and
drinks. lie ia, in fact, choosing his ant
NAL and moral character when he selects
his food. 1t Is impossible for him to
change his inherited nature, simply be-
cause notifications Of development occupy
moro than an individual life, but he can
help to make the particular stock to which
he belongs more or less bcery or lcshy, or
watcry, and 80 on. by the way he feeds.
We know the OBJECT tho feeding of ANIMALS
has On their temper and very natures; how
the dog fed on raw meat and chained up
80 that he CAN not work or the super
fiuous nltrogenised material by exercise
becomes savage beast, while the same
creature fed on bread and milk would be
tame as lamb. The same law OF results
Is applicable to man, and every living Or
ganlsm is propagated Gin It's kind" with n
physical and mental likeness. This is tho
underlying principle of development.
Happily tho truth is beginning, though
slowly and impcrfectly, to find Il recognition
1t has long been denied. 1t is possible
that in the natural desire to secure the
best and purest supplies Of food and drink
for man we arc pushing matters little to
extremes and bee omlng ridiculous. Uto-
pia is long way off, and "Hygela' has not
been built. 1t is, however, desirable that
we should ann high and make the teach
lngs OF physiological science the precepts
of our daily life and conduct. We may
not be able to reach our ideal, but prog
rcss will be advanced by striving to make
it's attainment an object. "What to cat,
drink, and ayold" is rational proposi-
tion; and If some of us are becoming
little unreasonable IN the attempt to solve
1t, at least we arc on the right road, and
ought to BIO encouraged rather than
abashed by the not unklndly criticism
our endeavors arc calling forth.

Tomato Flour.

The Italians dry and pulvtrize the
pulp of the tomato. Large districts
ore devoted to the culture of the fruit
for this purpose, the plant being usually
raised between rows of vines in vine
yards for the sake of economy of land.
The ripe fruit is maceratcd III water,
and when reduced to a thin pulp is
strained to take out the seeds, cores
| etc. and then spread in the sun to dry.
1t is afterward ground and put up for
market. There seems to be no reason
| why evaporating ovens, 30 much in
use for drying less succulent fruit. as
apples, might not be utilized in this
country for preparing tomatoes by dry
ing.
Of course powdered tomato might
not supersede the canned fresh fruit.
Its chief use would be for soups, sauces
and other auxiliary uses in cooking.
But there are many consumers of the
fresh tomato who refuse the timed
canned tomato from fear of the action
of the acid of the fruit on the loaded
tin of the can, the resultant being in
their estimation virulent lead poison.
Tomatoes put up in glass -qnite high
