Burial Reform.


Burial Reform. =
The Episcopal clergymen Of New
York. under the advice of Bishop Pot.
ter, have organized All association for
the promotion of burial reform. The
first purpose is to do away with the Ell
trava.ance of funeral expenditures
Most burials are unnecessarily expen.
sive. by reason of costly burial caskets, !
and numerous carriages and people gd
to an expenditure which their means do
not Justify. Besides. there are sanitary
considerations. such as are leading to
the growth of tho cremation sentiment
One of the aims of the new association
will be to abolish the use Of close
coffiLs and metallic burial cases. and
the substitution of wicker-basket OF
paper-mache coverings. SO that dust
10 dust" will have literal aud whole.
some meaning.
Bishop Potter made the following re,
marks after the various points had
been discussed 1t the first meeting: Il
am in entire sympathy with this moves
ment, and it will receive my hearty and
active cooperation. trust the organ-
ization will be SD formed as to include
representatives of all religious de.
nominations, to the end that its work
may be made as effective and far-reach-
ing as possible. It will be necessary "a
bear in mind that at every step the or
ganization will be fought by powerful
| combinations of tradesmen, whose in-
comes this movement will tend "a
diminish, and whose hostility. there
fore. may be confidently predicted. Il
is my belief thai the methods of inter-
ment ut present in vogue are vicious
and that the highest type of Christian
burial will ONLY be attained when the
| admil. lration of cemeteries is placed
entirely in the lands of the church. -

to penetrate the charmed circle you
passed through beautiful succession
of groves and parterres and miniature
grassplots and pleasant terraces. His
menagerie fell away Of late, but some
years back it almost rivaled the famous
collection in the London Zoo. In one
large space there were buffaloes. goats
and deer and ostriches and other great
birds. A tank something like one hum
dred and fifty yards square was COW
cred with storks and pelicans and
swans, and had ample well-wooded
rambling grounds around it. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty
aviaries. The lions and tigers and
wolves and other ferocious animals
were, of course, Gagged. but Gagged very
comfortably.
In another garden building that
looked like . magnificent ant hill was
fixed in the center of large square
well. and was carefully surrounded
with water. Here the snakes were
segregated. and live hundred of them
lived in the narrow holes with which
the strange building was artificialiy
