ESthetic Cremation.

The new crematory in the Campo
Verano at Rome was used for the first
time few days ago and the corpse Of
Signor Cipriani, an Italian senator
was reduced to ashes in two hours and
half. The three other existing Gre
matories of Importance are at Gotha,
Milan and Washington, Pa, respective
ly. In some Of them gas is used as
fuel, but in Rome the body, enveloped
in specially made shroud, rests on an
iron frame above fire of wood and
coal; and it is believed that no other
method of cremation is 50 simple and
at the same time SO cheap and unob-
iectionable. The new crematory is a
handsome building in the Egyptian
style, and consists of three chambers,
two of which are above the ground
In one Of these latter the actual incin-
Grafton takes place, and in the other is
kept register for the preservation of
full particulars of every corpse that is
burned. Beneath these rooms is a spa
cious vault, in which on shelves are
ranged ornamental urns of porcelain,
bronze and silver, to contain the ashes
of the dead. The establishment is, in
short, so well found and luxuriously
appointed that it almost seems that we
might be entering upon an era in
which aesthetic cremation shall be as
fashionable as aesthetic dress and fur
niture have been during the last dec

A WOman's Threat,

When the posture was all settled, and
the cloth was about to be drawn, the
artist threw last glance at his sub
iect, and to his CONSERVATION found
that she was holding a pistol to her
head.
What are you doing?" he cried.
"You will not shoot yourself: it would
ruin my business; besides it wonld be
wicked to mar so lovely a face as yours,

my love has left me, and I'm going TO

An Interesting Wager,

The saloons of most ferry boats are
Rbundantly furnished with mirrors.
A mischievous lady once remarked to
a gentleman accompanying her that
she would wager pair of kid gloves
that every man who passed through
the cabin would glance into the mir
ror, while the women would not. The
gentleman, with an incredulous smile,
accepted the wager at once, and each
person was noted, and true enough, as
each young, middle-aged and old man
came forward toward the mirror he
glanced in, many with self-satislied
gaze, because Of their good looks,
iaunty clothes or fine physiques, while
others seemed TO wear a contemptu-
Gus curl of the lip, as if angry at
themselves; but not a single woman,
young, middle-aged or old, homely or
pretty. good, bad or Indifferent,
glanced into the mirror. After at
least three hundred persons had
passed through. the gentleman, in a
half dazed way, remarked to his COM
panion: "You have won the gloves,
but | never would have believed it,.
| wonder why it is"
