NE'f ANhN NfAHk hNNAHAN
The cost of cremation by the new
company in this city, it is said, will be
only $25. The fact that a person dying
in New York can have suitable mor,u
airy rites performed for the compare
lively small sum of S25 is most inter
esting, and will, we feel sure, do much
to rob death Of its terror. Dying III
New York is a luxury, and one about
which most people show q strange
amount Of thoughtlessness and inconsid-
Grafton. A citizen a live three years
in Arkansas for the price OF a
conyentionally respectable interment
in New York. Yet few take slch
a fact as this into the slightest con
sideration in c%onsenting to a demise.
We are, indeed, acquainted with one
conscientious old Irish woman, with a
complication of diseases, who faithfully
attends the d%ispensary, because she is
ION her relations, " and she knows and
admits that they cannot afford to bury
her.
Such a spirit deserves a historical
record and wide emulation. The fact is,
we are much in need of a society for the
cultivation, not of plain living, but Of
plain dying. In these hard times it is
often little less than criminal that a man
subject his estate TO the proli ic ex-
pendituro Of a funeral. We have heard
of a gentleman who. at the solicitation
of his wife, gave up tobacco and
thereby, in the next fifteen years, saved
over 5000, which all went at last for his
burial expenses. Here was certainly a
d%isproportion between effort and its re
result that is most painful to we'll
balanced minds, and very dishoartening
to the anti tobacco propaganda.

The Father and the Mother OF the stars

Dan de guile has been interviewing
Tooroop Eenah desert Father on astron-
omy, with the following results:
Divested Of the Desert Fathers" pecul-
lar pronunciation, it was as follows; "The
sun is the father and ruler OF the heavens.
He Is the big chief. The moon is his wife,
and the stars are their children. Ths
sun eats his children whenever he can
catch them. They flee before him anu
are all the time afraid when he Is passing
through the heavens. When he their
father appears In the morning, you see
all the stars, his children, fly out Of sight
go away back into the blue of the above
and they do not wake to be seen again
until he, their father, is o going 10 his
bed.
Down deep under the ground-deep,
deep under all the grounds a great hole.
At night when he has passed over the
world. looked down on everything and
finished his work, he, the sun, goes into
his hole, and he crawls and creeps along Il
till he comes to his bed in the middle part
Of the earth. So then he, the sun, sleeps
there In his bed all night.
"rhis hole Is 80 little, and he, the sun, is
80 big, that he can not turn around in IL,
and so he must. when he has had all his
sleep. pass on through, and in the morn
ing we see him come out in the east.
When he, the nj has 50 come out, he be
gins TO hunt up through the sky to catch
and eat any that he can Of the stars,
his children; for II he does not so catch
and eat he can not live. He, the sun, is
not all seen. The shape of him is like IA
snake or IA lizard. II Is not his head that
xra ,u. hat lto haIlxr H1Iad mn with
the stars that times n times he has
swallowed.
"The moon is the mother Of the heavens
and is the wife OF the sun. She, the moon.
goes into the same hole as her husband 70
sleep her maps. But always she has the
great fear OF the sun, her husband. and
when he comes through the hole TO the
nobee (tent), deep in the ground, to sleep
she gets out nnd comes away If he be
cross.
~She, the moon, has great love for her
children. the stars, and Is happy TO trave
among them in the above, and they, her
children, feel safe and sing and dance as
she passes along. But the mother she can
not help that some Of her children must
be swallowed by the father every month
1t Is ordered hat "a by the Pah-ah
Great SPIRIT, who lives above the place
OF all.
Every month that father, the sun, does
swallow some OF the stars, his children,
and then that mother, the moon feels sor-
row. She must mourn. So she must put
the black on her face for to mourn the
dead. You see the Piute women put
black on their faces when Il child Is dead
But the dark viii wear away from the
face OF that mother-the moon-a little
and II little every day, and after n time
again we see all bright the face of her.
But soon more OF her children are gone,

Mretched 30, and wrstehsa Dog.

! shall not stop to picture all this, but
only walt to tell you OF a poor dirty
fnced, ragged little street rag-picker, who
made one Of the throng on Broadway. He
had Il mite of a white dog with him, as
ragged and uncared for as himself. But
around that dogs neck was tied a bit OF
faded ribbon, and his uncouth pranks and
gambols found even fresh favor in the
boys sight. II rot can call SO uncouth
blind II animal an instinct, love, then
indeed It was plain to see that between
the wretched boy and his wretched dog,
there was "A great bond Of affection.
But suddenly, while the small dog was
I'm the exuberance Of canine joy, and the
boys eyes were sparkling with relish Of
this one thing in life that was his
W to enjoy, AK much to him as your
greatest treasure Is to you, there came a
rapidly-driven dray down the crowded
street. A moment later l saw a little fel-
low with n hard-set face gather in his
arms Il poor little manned and dying brute,
and softly walked away. What had hap
penedi Only u worthless street cur
trampled to death. Only a worthless lit
tie street rag picker robbed OF the only
bit Of Joy his wretched life ever knew
the only friend hat loved him, that was
all. But there was a look in the boys
eyes that made my heart ache, and the
nuttering bit OF ribbon about the dead
dogs neck brought a mist TO my eyes that
hid the splendor Of the day.-New York

An I~ndianian'. Invisible Duck boa

Sportsmen will be interested In a novel
boat which Mr.. Lew Casaday, OF this
city, has invented and had patented. 1t Is
designed for duck shooting, and a test
made with it one day this week by Mr..
Casaday proves its efficiency. He shot
and secured forty-seven ducks, and thinks
he killed about 100 in all. To make an in
visible boat Mr.. Casaday takes a common
BOAT and cuts from the bow back say one
third OF the entire boats length down to
the water-line. This is made water
tight, and ut its opposite end from the
bow IA mirror lin this case t~wenty-eight
inches high and forty-eight inches long
Is placed so hat the glass reflects the
water in front and the decoys.
Behind the mirror the hunter sits and
paddles his boat toward the ducks and
makes his observations through a small
spot in the mirror from which the anal
gam has been removed. As the boat
moves up to the ducks they can see their
own reflections in the mirror, and in some
instances swim toward the boat. When
the hunter is near enough to shoot he
drops the mirror forward by loosening u
string. and gets two effective shots-one
at the ducks on the water and one as they
rise. Mr.. C~asaday's patent includes the
use OF mirrors and also a boat whose sides
ARE entirely covered with mirrors.-South
