a Good Word for Cremation.

There are only three ways in which
dead bodies can be disposed of-either
in earth, sea, or fire. There are obvi-
Gus objections, on the score of good
taste, to sending cur dead TO be torn to
bits by fishes. 1t is also certain that
our cemeteries and grave-yards, with
slowly y-decomposing masses of animal
matter, leads to the surrounding soil
being poisoned by the products of pu-
refaction-a result that can not be con-
sidered healthy by any stretch of mag
ination. But if we burn a dead body to
ashes we do, or need do, injury to no
body. There is nothing unwholesome
in the ashes. which may be preserved
with reycrent care as sacred relics, and
people who prefer to burn their dead
rather than let them .'lie in cold OBJ
struction and rot'' have both sense and
science on their side. Indeed, we have
never heard of anything like good ar
gument against cremation, save one
1t is that started by a Belgian states
man. who holds that, if we burn dead
bodies, we lessen the chances of detect
ing cases of poisoning. But surely it
would be possible to devise means
whereby, while the body was consumed.
the stomach of each corpse might be
preserved for 4 certain time after death,
lest it might be wanted for analysis
We do not share tine terror of those
bishops who, like DIR. Wordsworth. think
that cremation may tamper with the
popular belief in the resurrection of
the body; nor can we affect to sympa-
thize with the late home secretary. who,
wnen cremation was once bruited in
his presence. is said to have asked with
horror: ..But. then what shall we do
for burial certificatcs?" The world can
and has gone on after the sacrifice of
far more important forms than the bu-
rial certificate, which, to Sir Richard
: Gross. seems an essential element in the
constitution of society; and it ought not
to be more difficult to believe in the
resurrection of a body which shark
has eaten and digested than to one re-
duced to ashes in i funeral pyre--Lon-
don World.

Tbs Light Affection Department.

Charles Dickens had a very good
story about the early days Of a renown-
ed mourning establishment. He went
there one day about some mourning,
and was lshered into a room where sat
shopman with an attendant in woe
stricken habiliments, who groaned out,
"a father, mother, perhaps wife?'
30, no. said Dickens. .'only distant
relativer' 80, sir" said the funereal
one, '.you have made mistake; this is
the chamber of agonizing woe. John,
toll the bell and show the gentleman in-
to the light afiiiction department."

The lately expected bombshell fell in
the council chamber at Yankton Tuesday
morning. a bill was introduced to re
move the capitol from Yankton. The
crude or unfinished condition of the bill is
characteristic of the buncombe legislation
that occasionally crops out in legislative
bodies, the bill providing simply for re-
moyal, and does not state to uhere. 1t
evidently is done fer effect, either to serve
as lash to crack over the Yanktonians
and their friends in the legislature to Sc
cure their support for measures that the
advocates for removal are desirous of
furthering, or it is done for notoriety that
lack of brains prevent obtaining other

face OF the bills, at least that which
ds to show good faith or a certain and
reicial result That the seat of gov

haps for acquiring public notice when no

nanced
No one person, or even the entire legis-
lature can, upon the capitol removal, now
reflect the true wishes OF their constitu-
ency as to the place where the new seat
should be located, for the reason that it
has not been sufficiently considered and
not made an issue or even anticipated
while selecting men to represent them in
the legislature. The reasons are all with
the opponents Of this buncombe move,
and the people should earnestly protest
against the scheme being pressed now
The suspense we are now under as to the
division of the territory and the admission
as a state Of the southern portion, the un
settled condition of the minds Of the peo-
pie upon this question who must be
heard, and the more than probable individ
ual designs that prompts the agitators
who do not know themselves where the
capital site should be located, are few,
but far from all the reasons that call for a
general denunciation against putting the
itol on wheels, to subserve the inter

delegate any such power or express
such wish.

upon the scandalired magistrate mounted hrs

halberdiers rode 10 the scene OF the action.
As soon as the haiberiiers began TO remove
the evergreens, ''the boys Of sixteen parishes,
that came hither to be merry with their lord
mayor" set up such shout that the lori

eoursed through the street in such wild fash

putting his bones in jeopardy, while the de-
lighted mob threw up their caps Ste see my

fell upon another, he searched the city for
snrreptitious pies and porridgc, ransacking
pots, robbing ovens, and stripping spits, to the
great edihcation Of the righteous, and the
chastisement Of the wicked-his own cook in
cluded, she being found guilty of some baby
lcnish baked meats. A still more serious
huhbub was raised AT Canterbury, when the
erier had proclaimed that a market would be
held on Christmas Day. In vain the mayor
and his officers tried 10 quell the riot; one
man, being struck with cudgel by the mayor
himself, knocked his worship down, tearing
his cloak and damaging him generally.

An Olden Time Christmas.

During the rule Of the commonwealth in
England, Christmas was with difficulty OBJ
served. Not content with fortidding the cele-
bsation Of the ancient holidays, the Long Par
lament actually ordered Christmas Day to be
observed as day OF fasting and humiliation.
II came about IN this way. Lords and CON-
mons ordained that the last Wednesday in
every month should he kept as 4 fast day. In
1914 Christmas Day happened to fall on the
last wednesday in December,a circumstance Of
which the Assembly Of OWNERS reminded par
lament, so that the day might be kept "as it
ought to be and in obedience to their de-
mapd, an ordnance was Published command
ing the keeping Of fast on Christmas Day.
To prohibit holidsy-making was one thing, 10
enforce the prohibition was another. In l6i7.
as Cliristmas-tide drew near, .certain London
shopkeepers, who had paid dearly in previous
years for attempting to ignore the festival,
procured an order that the militia of London
and Westminster should prevent such Sin
eouyenlences happening again. While Lord
Mayor Warner was deep in militia business at

was brought that the Conhill conduit had
been dressed with ever-greens, and holly,
