And now the heat has finally filed Sara

fashionable crowd who run to the round
dances and swell dresses in New York are
DTOmenading up and down the balconies
OF the States of Saratoga and the Spring
house in Richfeld.
Saratoga Is Democratic watering place.
They don't talk about pedigree here as they
do in Newport, but revenue is the sine qui
non- Revenue is considered so important
in Saratoga that this year the managing
mothers have established a committee on
revenue The duty of the committee is to
find out the exact revenue of every mar
riageable bachelor or widOwer who ar
rives. Young gentlemen having revenues
under 81, 600 are not introduced at all. An
other duty of the revenue committee is to
exaggerate the revenues of the young ladies,
The committee sits on the balcony and re-
marks audibly when a young lady prom
enades by:
''Ah. there's Miss Mason. the heireSs,
worth $500, 600 if she's worth cent. Great

They don't spend their time in Saratoga
riding up and down the street to show the
liveries of their cOachmen, but wealthy
mothers, dressed in tight-fitting dresses,
with lace sleeves, sit around the parlorS OF
the States and discuss the proper price to
pay for doing up white dresses. Wealthy
husbands don't occupy their time flirting
with other mems wives. When they want
to amuSe themselves they go right down to

What 1t Costs to Die.

New York Medical Record.
The cost of cremation by the new company In
this city, it is said, will only be $25. The fact
that person dying in New York can have suit
able mortuary rites performed for the compare
lively small sum of $25 is most interesting and
will, we feel sure do much to rob death Of its
terror. Dying in New York is luxury, and
one about which most people show a strange
amount of thoughtlessness and reconsideration.
A citizen can live three years in Arkansas for
the price of conven tionally respectable inter
ment in New York. Yet few take such fact as
this into the slightest consideration in consent
ing to a demise. We are, indeed acquainted
with one conscientious old Irish woman. with a
complication of diseases, who faithfully attends
the dlspensary, because she is ION her relations y
and she knows and admits that they cannot af-
ford to bury her.
Such spirit deserves an historical record and
wide emulation The fact is, we are much in
need Of 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 prolific expenditure of a
funeral We have heard of gentleman who,
at the solicitation of his wife. gave UP tobacco
and thereby, in the next fifteen years, saved
over $500, which all went'at last for his burial
expenses. Here was certainly disproportion
between effort and its result that is most painful
to well-baianced minds, and very disheartening
to the anti-tobacco propaganda.

his business of banking involved simply the
keeping of faro bank.
She concealed this fact from her children and
fed to New York with them to hide in this great
metropolis. She succeeded. She reared these
girls in an exemplary way, Notwithstanding she
was compelled to receive from her dishonored
husband the fruits of his swindling at cards. She
bore it for years until she had married off her
six daughters: then she refused further aid from
her husband. All this time the children remain
ed in ignorance of their fathers character and
business and were proud of him. Suddenly, a

IL l.. Stilson, of Logansport, from Luke vi 10:
And all the multitude sought to touch him;
FOR power came forth from him and he healed
them ALL" He said: AS the sun emits light and
heat. so Christ gives forth vital force. The
theme to be considered may be thus stated:
Christ the radiator of vitality. Christ is
independent of all conditions. life possesses
Him. II am the life" He said to Himself. II
am the head of life" Christ radates life first,
as creator; second. preserver; third. as re-
deemer. This life heals in that it
is spiritualizing. energizing, purifying; it is
perfecting. developing all the graces in equal
proportion. 1t is satisfying, for it fully meets
any demand of mans nature 1t is
unifying, making Gods people one body Re-
ligion is more than a theory on form: it is
a vital experience. Religion is indie.
structible. Personal contact with Christ is
essential to the possession of life. Here is the
great corrective of the intense materialism of
our age.
