A PRoPHEcr ron 1885 Some one

the year 1856 of decidedly uncom.
Portable character. Il appears that in
the Church Of Obsremmsl, near the
city OF Treveri, IN Germany. there is
stone tablet some centuries old, on
which is cut the prophecy; vsrs. ia

When Mark shall bring US Easter

Now. it so happens that next year

have shown. I think, that the ad.
vantasss claimed for cremation over
burial are illusory. But there ore
positive objections which outweigh al
the advantages claimed. In cases OF
criminal poisoning cremation would

the ends of justice would Be defeated.
This is fatal objection to the gen

have not touched upon the senti-
mental phase of the question. And
yet. this is q point of view which can
not be ignored. The overwhelming
majority Of the people are tenacious of
old customs, and advocacy of general
cremation gives their conservatism a
rude shock. 1t may b. conceded that
the ancient funeral pyrs is q more
poetic way ofconsuming the dead body
that the slow consumption going on
in the grave; but there is q vast diff
ference between the throne Of fire

Sardanapalus, and an ordinary furnace
blast. fired up" like the blast in sn
iron boundary. There is in the latter
no sentiment or illusion. Who could
idealise quick roast in . reverbera
tory furnacel
From a somewhat careful study O..
this subject, I believe the following
conclusions are justified.
l. Cremation is not necessary as a
sanatory measures, under conditions
prevalent in this country.
2. Cremation has no advantage or
the score Of economy over interment
8. Cremation fails to meet the re-
quirements Of epidemics or wars, as
well as burial.
4. Cremation is Objectionable from
q legal point Of view, as criminal
poisoning would often pass undstscted
if incineration were general.
5. 1t fails to comply with the emo
tional demands of our nature. by sub
stituting q harsh and unsesmly pro-
cedure for the more poetic and senti-
timental slow dissolution going on in
the grave.
Nothing in this paper is. however,
intended to approve of violations OF
sanitary laws so frequently met in
cemeteries. These places should al
ways be kept under strict supervision,
guided by a proper code of sanitary
regulations, and all infractions Of
these should be promptly punished.
It is conceded that intramur.l cerae
teries are ohjsctio nsble in many re
spects. bat when bodies are properl,
buried in suitable soil. their decay
goes on rapidly and without giving
rise to offensive or deletarious emana.
