Statistics of Cremation.

At Working the number of cremations
Is steadily increasing. In three years
from 1884 TO 1887 the annual average was
3. In 1888 there were 26. In 1889 the
number increased to 46, the total num-
Der at the end of the year having been
exactly 100. This year there have been
several every week. In France, at the
new creInatorium in Paris, there were
S5 ordinary cremations in 1889, but the
number of stillborn children and the
bodies from the hospitals and anatomi-
cal schools is so large that incineration
is continually going on both night and
day. The Journal d'Hygiene says that
the total number was nearly 5000 In the
wear. At Rome the numbers were 119
in 1886, 155 in 1887 and 202 in 1888. AT
Milan and other Italian towns the num-
beers are rapidly increasing, as they are
in Germany and the United States--St

THE SIGHT OF DEATH.
Cruel Blow Thrust Upon Too Many Sen.
sitiye Children.

sitive Children.
All through my childhood was docile
toward the supernatural, wondering
about it, with great signs in my little
breast, but l think / should not have
feared it SO much if man who died
next door to us had not been laid OUT
in such chilly shroud, and had not
been SO repelent in death. At least, l
know that the first fright my spirit got
was when my father lifted me up, a
child not five years old. and held me
quite close down to see what was inside
that coffin. | never had a blow that
struck so deep as did that sight; / never
had a had burn that scared so, nor a
pain that tingled like it. Young as |
was, something in me akin to high
dignity, resented this rude introduction
to what then seemed the King of Ter
rors." l never said it, but | always
felt l had received an injury, suf-
fered a wrong. On pleasant sum-
mer days. out in the bright, sun
shiny weather, thoughts too deep for
tears" have come to me when / remem-
bered seeing that. 1t seems to me that
we intrude upon the royal little heartfelt
childhood when we thrust upon it such
a cruel blow. Always since then, in
spite of all my faith and the fervors l
have known religiously, there is about
the thought of death the clammy hor-
ror stamped upon me when l saw that
face. So l unused much why these
things were, and could but wonder. if
we had God so kind, why He should
make US fair and sweet as children,
bright and happy in youth, serene and
strong in middle-life and then send us
away like that! / have often heard
good people say they thought it neces-
sary to take their children early to
funeral" but why they must do this 1
can not see. If the first sight of death
could be some sweet and lovely face,
such as | have sometimes beheld since
then, the impressing of childhood's
plastic little nature would surely be far
more in keeping with what we believe
death really is.-From Frances E. Will
ards Autobiography.

In Quiet Ltcvery.


Sometimes il quiet revery
When day is growing dim,
The heart is singing silently
\ sweet unwritten hymn.
The strains are not to measure wrought,
BY cunning Of the mind.
But seem like hymninS angels brought
From Heaven, and left behind
The misty hills Of bygone grief,
Oace dark to look upon,
Stand out like blessings in relief
Against the setting sun.
The rain may fall, the wind may blow;
The soul unhindered sings,
While, like the bird meath sheltering bough
She sits with folded wings
A brief and pleasant resting space,
A glance at Beulah land,
Before she girds herself apace
For work that waits the hand.
Then, giving thanks to Hi,l who poured
Refreshments in her CUP
She hears the calling of her Lord,
And takes her labor up.

LIZ there is any place whore time

IF there is any place where time is
money, it is upon the farm. We can
not afford to waste it working with dull
tools. Have the hoe sharp, and time
will be saved in the garden. Have the
pillow point sharp, and time and horse
power will be saved in the field Have
the harrow teeth sharp, and the harrow
will do better work with less labor.
Have the scythe sharp, and it will be
easy to keep down the weeds that will
spring up in out-of-the-way corners

Going, or Gone.


Nothing that lives can bloom
Long upon earth;
joys that our days Hume,
Die IN their birth;
All that the soul admires,
All that the heart desires,
From heart and soul expires,
Leaving but GeGrth.
Stars, as they light the hours,
Steal them away;
Rays which unfold the flowers,
Bring them decay;
Even morn's beams OF light,
Fresh on their heavenly flight,
Shine but to speed the night;
Nothing can stay.
Pleasures, like cloudlets, smile
When the days done;
Golden and purple while
fingers the sun;
All that our hearts can say
Oftfose who blessed our way,
Is that. like metcors, they
Shone-and are gone.
