The Economy of Cremation.
Boston Budget.l

An officer of a cremation company
 when asked by reporter for particulars
 regarding the mode of disposing of the
 dead, said that from his observations ere
 nation is destined at no distant day to
 supercede the practice of grave burials,
 because it had none of their offensive
 features. "As now conducted at Gotha,
 Milan and other points of Europe" he
 added, cremation is not for moment
 to be confounded with the offensive cus- tom ot burning on the open pyre, as practiced by the ancients. It is effected in superheated air-chamber, which al. lows no contact with flame or fuel with the body, while all the gases and volatile products of combustion are completely regeAerated and rendered inocuous and odorless before being liberated. Why, an approved modern crematory might be erected in Madison square, and but for transporting the dead bodies thither, could not be an offense to any one. The process is accompanied with no repulsive sight, sound, smell or noise. The body, covered with pail, is placed on a cata- falque, in the chapel or reception hall, whence 1t descends noiselessly by means of an elevator to the incinerating cham Der. This, by means of superheated air, has been raised to a white heat, at a tenn perature of about 2 900 degrees Fahren- heit. When open to receive the body, the in-rushing cool air cools this chamber to delicate rose tint, and the body, after remaining an hour in this bath of rosy light is completely decomposed. Moth. ing remains but few pounds (about per cent. of the original weight) of clean, pure, pearly ashes. These are then taken out and put in an urn of terra cot ia, marble, or other suitable material, and placed in a niche of the columbarium, or delivered to the friends of the deceased. The cost of such disposal of a human body, after it it reaches the crematory, is from ten to twenty-five dollars, accord. ing to circumstances. To this may be added, if desired, five dollars for an urn and ten dollars each for a niche in the columbarium, where the urn may be kept, with an inscribed tablet placed in the wall below the niche, commemorative of the deceased. Thus the entire expense would not be over fifty dollars.

Very Poor Economy.

Some people make business of cheat. ing themselves, either by eating very mean and cheap food, or else by eating too small quantity of good food. Eithei way is as bad policy as it would be to buy a coffin instead of suit of good clothes, just because the coffin would cost less. Poor diet means impoverished blood and that means misery. Browns Iron Bitters enriches the blood, gives it the iron it needs, and tones up the whole system Cures dyspepsia, indigestion, weakness, malaria, etc.

Gossip from the CAPITAL

'Carp" the Washington correspondent, of the
Cleveland Leader never fails to furnish bit OF
entertaining gossip from the capital Here is
one of his latest "reminiscences:
President Arthur has good carriages, and his
turnouts, will compare favorably with those
of any of his predecessors. A look at the one
he rode in recently recalled story they tell
Of John Tyler, who it will be remembered, got
to the White House through the death Of q
president elected by the people. Tyler was
very fond of fine turnout, but his pocket was
not deep enough to correspond with his tastes
One day one of the leading members of the
diplomatic circle was recalled from Washing
ton, and his magnificent establishment had to
be sold An important part of this was his
carriage, which was at the time the finest by
all odds In Washington. Tyler had looked at
it many times with longing eyes as its owner
had driven up and down Pennsylvania avenue,
and as it had stood now and then in front Of
the White House. He feared, however, the
criticism which was sure to attend the buying
of anything by the president at auction, and
called his coachman, with whom he was fam
liar, to advise with him in regard to it. The
Goodman liked the carriage and was anxious
that Mr. Tyler should buy it 'But Pat" said
Tyler, what will the world say at the pres
idents riding in a secondhand carriage?"
''Och! your honor" was the reply, .'they will
say nothing about it 1t all, at all You know
you are but second president, any way, and
it seems to me nothing could be more fit 4"
Whether the president bought the carriage or
not the reports fail to state
