Waking from Sleep.

IL know no place where man has so
many opportunities for observing tho
phenomena attending the awakening from
sleep as on board ship, whore half the

The late Courtlandt Palmer was an ag-

founder Of the noted Nineteenth Century

more noted orator and agnostic, whose be-

belief that he is pleased TO be nicknamed

ton Is noted clergyman of the Episcopal
church, whose tendency Of recent years
has been toward latitudinarianism ia be
lief and extreme liberalism in association.
And, finally, cremation is the scientific
disposal of the dead by incineration. a
method which has so gained favor of late
that almost every city now has its crema-
tory. These four statements serve to in
troduce the relation of an affair which
vividly illustrates certain tendencies of
thought in the United States, especially
in New York. -

Curious custom, in Panama.

One of the most curious customs that
attract the attention of strangers in
Panama is to see the native women walk
ing along the street smoking long, slen.
der cigars in much the fashion that men
do here. 1t is the custom of the women
there to gather in the public. markets as
early as sunrise to gossip and talk over
affairs while enjoying their morning
smoke. As there are few newspapers in
Panama, and a proportionately small
number of readers, the market is the
place where the news of the town is to be
