weeks receipts are the largest, with two
Ceptions IN the history Of this market and had it
not been for the high water which caused the pack

selling. causing many shippers to hold their ship

The crematory has taken the place Of
the potter's field at Paris, and since the
irst of the present year all the corpses of
persons who have died in the hospitals,
and have not been claimed for burial by
relatives or friends, are sent to be Gre
mated at the establishment for the
purpose, in the Pere La Chase Cemetery.
Until 9 few weeks ago the regulation
aumber of cremations at Pere La Chaise
did not exceed three per diem. But
since the new edict of the Perfect of the
Siene has come into force, as many as
~thirty-fve corpses have been sent in by
the various hospitals in a single day
This is more than the present crematory
can dispose Of in the t~wenty.four hours,
and in view of the gruesome and rapid
accumulation of t's1bjects," measures
aave been adopted by the authorities
Tor the immediate enlargement of the
establishment. 81 course, observes the
New York Tribune, the thought of Gre
nation adds somewhat to the dread with
which the ignorant poor are accustomed
10 regard the hospital. But, ON the
other hand, it must be admitted that in
cineration is the most scientific method of
disposing of the dead.

The criminal classes bear the highest

The criminal classes bear the highest
proportion to the population in Italy.
From statistics recently published in that
country, it would appear that murders
are committed in Italy three times often
er than ir Austria, four times ofteneT
than in Prussia, five times oftener than
in Sweden, fourteen times oftener than
In Denmark, and sixteen times oftener
than in Great Britain and Ireland.
Crime has also unfortunately been in
creasiug instead of decreasing in Italy of
late years. OF the foreign countries
which stand favorably in a comparison Of
the criminal classes with the population
NAV be mentioned: Russia, where they
number 10 in each 10000; Portugal, 16
10, 600; Norway, Is per 10000;
while Sweden appears to be a very law
abiding country, the persons convicted
In 1885 being only 4 per 10000 of the
population.

quently observed on the chimneys' light
ning-rod, and thermometers above the root
of the observatory on the top of Ben
Nevis. If the observer stands on the
roof, his hair, hat, pencil, and so forth,
are found also to glow with the aaroral
fire. If he raises his stick aloft, the end
is pointed with flame. Beyond a slight
tingling sensation in his head and hands,
he suffers no annoyance. There is q
feeble Kissing heard during these dis.
plays, which are sometimes very pretty
and the stormy character of the weather,
with squally winds and clouds Of snow
drift, rather heightens than diminishes
the weird effect.

Lucky and Unlucky DAYS.

The belief in luck, good or bad, in GER
tain days of the week, which is a veEg
ancient superstition, is at present usually
confined to Friday, concerning whose bad
name SO much is known by the general
public that there is no need of dwelling
upon it here. Current legend refers this
superstitf0ato the day of the crucifxion.
Probably very-neEsons who have not
paid attention to the et are aware
how many people there arca0rgQyeri

travelling, by a superstition dls.S =
initiating anything on Friday. But Thar
day is not alone in having a bad name, as
Monday is called ''blue Monday" and is
particularly in disgrace with collectors
and other business men; while on Satur.
day servants girls object to taking q new
place-an objection which is expressed

The procession stops in front of the
5ridegroom's house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway. The

friends thereupon throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward and
carries her over the threshold of his
