cremation.
In the first place, if the space between life
and physical annihilation could be made Just
as narrow as possible, 1t would be far mere
cheerful to consider. Death itself is cruel
enough, bat to add to it q hippodrome of a
public funeral and turn our paFlors into a
gaudy morgue, and then repose in crowded
cemetery till the city wants the ground for a
park, and then to pick up our crumbling
bones and move away to a new grave, is not
cheerful to contemplate
have often thought that a cheerful book
of fifty or sixty pages might be written un-
der the title of "Recolleetions of Resurrec-
tion; or, the Diary of Body 1t could be
made to teach us valuable lesson. Po-
liticaily I am pledged to genuine national
reform. Let the nation try it, and If it
works all right on the nation viii try it
myself Then am committed to the un-
limited coinage of tame dollar, one that
you can steal up behind and put salt ON its
TAIL not the evasive and ingneous fatuous
dollar Of the present. Next i am in favor
of cremation at living prices. At present
the price Is too high, and the poor man is
left to decay and fill the soil with poisonous
gases, which the poor, as well as the rich
may indulge in after death.
Death should end our career, SO far as
earthly affairs go, but with the embarrassing
prospects of premature burial, the cheerful
chances of being boiled by the janitor of
medical college and our skeletons wired to-
gether and hung in a museum, and the oppor-
talnity, if we escape the first two, of being
tipped out of our graves by food, earth
quake, or the act of the common council, it is
no wonder that people cling to life.
If I thought that for centuries after my,
decease my long but symmetrical skeleton
would be used night after night, in a nude
condition, to illustrate the union in case of
compound cyclonic fracture of the ibia,
wouldn't be able to sleep nights.

A Chinese Liars wife.

A noted liar once told friend that he had
ct home three precious things: A bullock
that could run 100 miles day; a fowl which
crowed at the beginning of each watch, day
and night, and dog that could read booEs
The friend intimated that he would les no
time IN seeing, with his own eyes, these
marvels. The man did not expect this,
as his house was somewhat distant, so he
went home and told his wife that he
had got caught at last, and that to-
morrow the man wonld arrive and he
would be digraced "Never mind, )" said
his spouse, sleave that to me; it win be all
right; only You must keep out of sight, Next
morning the visitor arrived, and, being met
by the mistress, asked where her husband was.
Ale has gone to Pekin,H she replied. aWhen
win he be backgs an eight or nine days
@Why, how can he be 80 quickH 3He has
gone Off on our fast bullock, and can do it

speaking, small cock crew. .Thats il,
said the wife; Ahe crows al. the beginning OF

But in some places there were Instructions.
What they were like you win see by the
second illustration It looks little like a
Paris barricade without any insurrection or
firing on the people. Wagons had an unac-
countable way of breaking down directly
upon the car tracks and Of having to be
abandoned. There were barrels, there were
bread wagons, hand trucks, etc., upset and
clinched inextricably in the most astonishing
manner. In one instance q tire came bodily
off a wheel of one of those gigantic
carrying wagons drawn by the huge Perch
eron horses, so well known here. Such a
thing was never known before, but here it
happened right in the midst of the strike.
and stranger still, it happened right upon
the street car track, and couldn't be got off.
But it all ended happily. The street car
employees got their just demands, and all runs
on smoothly again

Illustration No. tells how the young fell
lows play at blacksmithing. The school oc-
cupies large and substantial three-story
building The first floor is given up to metal
work, blacksmith and machine shops There
are twenty-five forges and anvils, and tools
for smiths and helpers. 1t is a steam black
smith shop, the blast being run by great
power blower. But in order to familiarize
pupils with the vanishing order of things
there is also kept in connection with one of
the forges an old-fashioned hand bellows as
well.
The iron-working implements in the ma
chine shop are very interesting. Children GO
ing into machine shop are confused by the
noise and dazzled by the gleam of flying metal
wheels and points. But the sight is very fas-
cinating to them withal It.is also so to the
boys who learn iron working in the st. Louis
school. Here are the moving chisels, lathes
for saving and planning iron, drills, shapers
grindstones, etc. Perhaps the reader has seen
the sparks fly when iron is ground upon an
emery wheel The machine shop at the uni
versity has double emery grinder, so that
the grinding iron makes great circles of
sparks. The machinery of the whole building
is run by fine Corliss engine, with four
teen inch cylinder and forty two inch stroke.

the latter. They are, of course usually

The Tailless Cattle OF FLORIDA.

Jacksonville, and thought that, aside from
their ieanness and diminutive size, there was
