An intelligent Chinamnn m Oakland,
CAL, says: ''Chinamen hate to have the
bodies of their friends go to the mOrgwe-
They will do almost anything rather than
have body laid on the mOrgue slab and
left in charge of the coroner FIRE.
quently their actions lead to suspicion
where there is really no ground f0r It,
This fact is accounted for by q peculiar
belief current among the less intelligent
Chinese. I have been assured many
times soIemnly that the corUuers when
he had taken the body to the mOrgus.
poured over it some sort Of magic Bot50n
that had the result of causing all the
fatty substances Of the corpse to rum OF
in oil. This is bottled by the coroner
and sold to American DOCTORS who use Il
in medicines and magic charms. In SUD-
port of the theory they viii point out
that the coroner will only take fat Chi
uamen to the morgue- They say he neVe-
takes lean ones. Chicago News

A novel and remarkable exhibition
was given at the Westminster musee the
other day, when Harry FIaxman- tine
clever pottery worker, undertook thefeat
of making an entire tea set of fOFty-f0Ur
pieces in the short space of seven and
one-half minutes. When it WAS am
nounced that such an attempt wUuld be
made, those who were unacquainfed with
the young man from WedgwUOd's great
pottery establishment, England, offered
wagers that it could nOtbe accomplished
Much interest was manifested by the
large number present when Manager
Bingham gave the word and FEIxmzn
began his task, while several watches
licked off the minutes. The pliabIe clay
was manipulated with delft and slkiIHfuI
fingers and twelve cups and saucers
adorned the board in short order Then
twelve plates were piled upon each other
and then four large platess q teapot
sugar bowl and two other vessels sprang
up as if by magic, all shapeIy and al
most perfectly formed When the List
piece was finished the hands ON the mn
jority of the watches Indicated the hpse
of eight minutes from the time of start
ing, and the remarkably quick work
man rested, beaten by q half minufe-
But he can make tho set I'm SEVEN and
one-half minutes under more favorable
circumstances. The whole work, IN
GLIDING moIding, is accomplished by the
fingers, and the only tools used are 4
thin brass wire for cutting the clay and

when the one at the farther end Of

The catacombs, then. were exeavzreG
by the early Christians for the express
and sole purpose Of burying their d.ss1d-
The hope of the resurrection of the body
made them averse to the custom Of CrE-
nation then prevailing among the Greeks
and the Romans. They adhered to tina
older Jewish custom of burying the dead
in rock hewn tombs and galIeriesl Hence
the close resemblance Of Jewish and
Christian cemeteries IN Rome After
Constantine, when the Christians could
