EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

ETIQUETTE does not prohibit woman from
taking off her hat in theatre.
JUPITER FLUvIUS will please kindly remem-
Der that the streets of San Antonio need clean
ing.
GOVERNOR IRELAND suggestion that vaccl
nation be made compulsory will meet with the
approval of every sensible person in the State.
VIRTUE is not very highly esteemed in
Chicago. A jury in the modern Sodom has
awarded man cent damages for the Sc
ducton of his wife.
If COLONEL BoREAS will call at the office
of Old Probabilities and get his Texas north
ers no questions will be asked. We have no
further use for them.
A NEEDED reform is the adoption by the
Government of the strict rules in force for en-
ployes in private establishments. Were this
done Government work would be accom-
plished more quickly and satisfactorily.
THIS mornings Express makes these per-
tnent suggestions:
A magnificent statute Of Justice is to adorn
the front of the new court house in this city.
We would respectfully suggest that the ban
dape be removed from her eyes, and that the
dame be also provided with an ear pick. 1t
seems necessary that she should see and hear
little Of what is going on around her.
FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS, is wrestling with
sen sation. Last Wednesday Catholic and
an Episcopal clergyman were arrested and re-
quired to give bond because they violated a
proclamation issued by the Mayor on the
recommendation of the Board of Health pro
hibiting people, on account OF the prevalence
of scarlet fever, from assembling in large mum
beers. The citizens are divided in opinion, on,
faction sustaining the ministers while large
one believes, as the LIGHT does, that tn
authorities of the town are justified in enforc
ing its sanitary regulations.
THE Volksfest arrangementmay be satisfaC
factory to our German citizens, but we thin
they have made mistake in excluding Amer
lean citizens from active participation in tn
work. At the first celebration of the festiv;
the excuse for the adoption Of the same cours
was that it was essentially German festiva
and only Germans could inaugurate it on
successful working basis. There was the
some reason for that action, but as far as "
know there is none at present, and if ii
American citizens are expected to contribu
money and other necessities it is only ia
that they should be represented on the Exec,
tive committee.
The public library in the French building
which is the property of the Alamo Litera
society is rendered comparatively useless
the apathy of its committee and indiffere
m anagement. The library contains goo
collection of books which are capable Of q
fordine much instruction and amusement
the citizens, and would no doubt receive {;
measure Of support if it were placed und
efficient management and were more acces
bile TO subscribers. An attempt is nov bel
made to amalgamate the almost ettete Alar
Literary society with the San Antonio Litera
and Debating society and, if tbs SUGGEST
the result will probably be Of advantage
both societies and TO the public generally.

Cremation.


cremation.
New York Home Journal.
AS conducted at Gotha by means of
the Siemens apparatus the process is
thus described: The body is borne into
the chapel and placed in q catafalque
which stands in front of the altar The
section of the chapel-floor upon which
the body rests constitutes the floor of
q lift, or elevator. AS the funeral SER
vice proceeds the elevator invisibly and
noiselessly descends, bearing the body
to the basement directly in front of the
incinerator, which, by means of super
heated air, has been raised to tema-
ture of about one thousand five hun
dred degrees Fahrenheit. AS the door
of the incInerator is opened to receive
the body the inrushing cold air cools it
to delicate rose tint; and the body,
resting on metallic bed, covered with
n cloth of asbestos, passes over rollers
into this bath of rosy light. Imme-
diately it becomes incandescent, in
which condition i remains until incin-
GRAFTON is complete. This requires
about an hour per hundred pounds of
the original weight. There remain
only few handfuls of pure pearly
ashes, equivalent to about four per
cent of the original. These are dropped
by means of n lever into the aSh-cham-
Der below, and are drawn thence into
an urn of terra Gotta, marble, alabaster
or other suitable material and returned
by means of the elevator to the cata-
falQue. The service or ceremony being
now over, the friends of the deceased
now find the ashes just where they had
last seen the body of the departed, and
may bear them thence as they may
choose No fuel or flame of foreign
substance comes in contact with the
body. The process is accompanied
with no perceptible sound or smell or
smoke--absolutely nothing that can
offend the sensibilities of the most fas-
tidious. All the smoke and volatile
products of combustion are passed
through regenerating furnace before
being turned loose into the air, and are
absolutely purified. The process is in
deed in every way so decorous and SO
beautiful, as compared with other
methods of disposing of the dead, that
it is described by those who have wit
messed it as Fascinating, and scarce
ly an instance is known of any one
having witnessed the process, as thus
conducted, who has not at once become
pronounced convert TO cremation,
whatever may have been his prc-exist-
ing prejudice.

Ths MOnotonous Roar.

DeNrOU Free Grcss.
She had little boy with her as she
sat down in the street car beside lady
acquaintance, and drawled out:
"Oh, you don't know how glad am
to get home again. We were away
seven weeks"
$50 long as that?'
Eyes, indeed. You don't know how
monotonous the roar of the sea be-
comes after week or two"
''I've heard so.
ma, what sea are you talking
aboutP' suddenly put in the boy.
"Husb. child"
''But Uncle George lives up in the
woods in Isabella county, and it was all
woods and mosquitoes and snakes, and
such old beds and poor living that you
cried to come home. Is that the kind
Of roar you heard?"
The other lady was awful good. She
looked out of the car window, and be-
gan to talk about the weather.

Shedding Her Teeth


Mrs. Sanborn, living in Metuchen,
n. j., went to New York, ten years
ago, and bought set of false teeth.
She wore them for week, but while
sitting at dinner one day they became
separated from the plate, and before
she could recover Der self-possession
she had swallowed about a dozen of
them. She felt no great embarrassment
afterwards, and in time forgot all about
the matter One day last week the
lady felt a pain on her right shoulder.
Upon examination she found lump
there and consulted her family ply
sician. That gentleman opened the
protuberance with q lancet and eX-
tracted therefrom q hard and white
substance resembling porcelain. The
lady suddenly recollected her tooth
swallowing performance and pro-
nounced the bone to be one of her miss
ing teeth. Since that time the lady has
been shedding teeth from various parts
of her body, having recovered already
nine of the set. She confidently expects
to see the appearance Of the other in
day or so.

Two colored men began digging a
well about two weeks ago in the yard
of an electric light company in Phila-
delphla. The ground became warmer
as they descended, and at a depth of
twenty-four feet boiling water poured
in and drove them out. About thirty
feet distant is an old we'll into which
the hot water from large boilers has
been blown, and it is believed that this
hot water has so heated the surround
ing gravel and sand that all the water
fliltering through it is heated to the
boiling point.

THE Chinese soldiers, who may soon
face the French troops, have one fight
ing advantage over the latter. They
wear a light, airy uniform, which con
Sists solely of a cap, q thin linen jacket
and a gauzy pair of pants, while the
Frenchmen are attired in thick blue
uniform, solid red trousers, q thick
shirt and hard leather boots. 1t is not
strange that the unacclimated French
feel the heat.

SHOPPING at Saratoga is unusually
brisk on the closing days OF the season,
and it is said that many ladies of
fashion linger late to get bargains in
lace, parasols, rugs and fancy articles
at the shops that are about to close.
Most of the summer stores are branches
of New York houses, but one enter
prising New Orleans firm follows its
customers to the springs with choice

their wares the merchants mark down
their prices to figures that tempt
visitors from the inland towns to buy.
