dangerous operations was found that the
faith cure people were visiting diphtheria
patients unfortunately and spreading
the infection. The leaders were arrested
and locked up and their hall of ofmeeting was
thoroughly fumigatcd by burning sulphur.
Public opinion in Brooklyn is strongly
against them, but this sort of fanaticism
usually fourishes under opposition and ii
can only be hoped that it will rapidly wear
itself ont by continued failure and the
plain evidences of common sense. 1t will
puzzle the believers to explain why man
should refuse to use tho brains so kindly
given him and do nothing but beg for the

So much has been said of our now cruis-
ers, that 1t may be wholesome pastime to
note the latest achievement Of Great Britain
In cruiser building. She has just launched
the Blake, Of nine thousand tons dispiace-
ment. This Is the heaviest unarmored
cruiser afioat and the CHICAGO, our largest
cruiser, is just half her size. As regards
swiftness, she will be superior TO every
thing ahoat save only few of the most
modern torpedo craft. The Blake will
carry a battery Of rapid fire guns, and has
fourltorpedo tubes. She will have room
for 900 tons of coal, which win give her
radius of action of no less than 1900 miles
at "A continuous speed of twenty knots-a
speed which she is expected to maintain
for several days II necessary. Her steel
deck varies in thickness from three to six
inches, and she carries two largo torpedo
boats.

THE cremation of the dead IL steadily

idea, and any great epidemic of a contagious
disease would no doubt be marked by an
Increase in crematoriums like that noted
In Italy, where cholera aroused thought on
the question of sanitary disposal of the
dead. Science gives the following statistics
as TO crematories: There are now thirty
nine crematories In various parts OF the
world. Italy has twenty-three America

Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden have
one apiece. In Italy there were two
cremations In 1876; the number rose to
fifteen i'm 1877, and in 1883 the number was
220. Since 1875, LII cremations have
taken place in Italy. while the combine d

than one million in cash. 1t true that
the Ave millions In bonds and stock
were worth good deal less than five
millions In cash, but IL Is charged that
Inman and his associates made over
two millions for their own pockets
by their manipulation Of this deal. And
the evidence seems to be that the South

are growing 10 Northern dimensions.
A notable thing about the discovery OF
this heavy burthen which was laid some
three years ago upon theTennessce Coal

not crush the life out of 1t NOR does 1t seem
to have affected it's vigorous growth,
since its stock Is quoted at steadily grow

pay five millions for one million worth
Of property, that cost its original own
ers less than one tenth even OF
the million, is a standing advertisement
of the great rapid and growth In the

of uniform assessments was called fol
the 9th Of February, which falls on
