The legislature of Massachusetts, at
last session, passed all act which has
now gone into effect authorizing the
formation OF determination corporations.
This act provides that any five Or
more persons may form such corpor-
alton, with q capital of not less than
$4,000 nor more than $50, 900, and
the par value of shares may not be
less than $40 nor more than $50.
Buildings, appliances and locations
shall be subject to approval by the
state board of health, which board
shall also have g supervision over the
business methods OF the company. The
act iorbids cremation until at least IS
hours lave elapsed after death, except
when the death is from contagious or
infectious disease. A certificate from
the medical examiner OF the district
must be furnished in all cases, certify
ing that no further examlnatieH or
judicial inquiry is necessary. Having
thus acquired legalization, the process
may proceed. The sentiment in favor
of cremation has made wonderful
progress, What was regarded With
aversion and horror is now advocated
by large numbers OF the most refined
and cultivated people, and promises
10 become the iavorite paethod 81
aisposing OF the remains of the dead,
especially Il large towns and cities.

The Tall Hat.

Perhaps no article of attire is, and
long has been, moro consistently
abused than the high hat, which is The
outward token of responsibility in
man. 1t has been called by contempt
tuous names, as chimney pot, fun
mel, a stove-pipe, a glossy cylinder,
and SO on. but it is to be observed
that in spite of all, people continue to
wear it. Mr.. Oscar Wilde uttered his
protest at Highbury recently, and
jewellers in the northern suburb SEEM
ed to have agreed with him, but it
may be doubted whether in any case
agreement was carried so far as to in
duoo anybody to abandon it. No ono
can defend it, but custom has so braz-
ed the artistic faculty that no one,--
10 one, that is to say, whose example
it is safe to follow-will leave it off;
nor is there any general agreement as
to what should be substituted. The
tall hat is sham, for it has an atfec-
tation of being beaver; it is an incon-
venient thing to carry or dispose of
when it is not boing worn, and is un-
suited to the English climate because
rain spoils it. Certainly it is not pic-
turesque. There is nothing to be- said
on the other hand in it's favor; every
one wears it because everyone else
wears it. So closely did our fathers
cling to the fetch that they even play
ed cricket in their tall hats. Some
thing, one would think, must surely
happen soon to emancipate those
who arc under Its sway.-Londo1a
Standard.
