The Cremation Idea.

When man is bitten by the idea of
cremation he becomes very strenuous in
letting everybody know. Cremation seems
to make people as enthusiastic as new
religion. A jeweler recently made for a
customer a cinerary urn which the Gus
toner was going to use as an ornament to
his sideboard till it was required for
graver purposes. The urn is made of the
finest crystal glass, mounted in carved and
nodded silver There are two shields on
the silver cover, which is surmounted with
a heraldic helmet. The urn itself will hold
about as much ashes as will go into an
ordinary sized round felt hat, that being
the approximate quantity yielded by a
cremated man

4 Collection of Fugitive Facts and Out
of the Ordinary Information.
An account from Tomsk describes the
state of the Siberian prisons as something
fearful, and gives the following figures,
which speak for themselves: Tomsk, the
seat of the only university in Siberia, Is at
the same time the central depot = tiles.
1t possesses prison which can sccommo-
date 765 men, reckoning for each one As
cubic feet of air There is space for 490
healthy persons and 275 sick ones, but the
number of exiles who arrived in Tonnsk in
1856 was 16, 1S4, of when only Il, $50 were
transported further. In 1857 there arrived
14,277; in 1888, 1904, and IN 1889, up TO
September, over l2,G00, OF whom 1882, Il,
239 and L, zoe respectively were taken TO the
interior
In 1888 the average daily number Of pris-
oners was at least 1878; in 1887, !, 10 and
in 1885, 1850. In some weeks these num-
bers increased in 1885 TO 1885, in 1887 TO
PISS, and IN 1888 even 70 500 men. Among
these the daily average on the sick list was,
in 1855, 394; in 1887, 5l2 mot less than 45.7
per cent?; and in 1855. 396-the majority
suffering from typhoid fever The official
report says in few words that for want of
room hundreds of beds with patients suf
in the open air, whjlsr the temperature was
only six degrees Reaumur (454 Fahren-

nous. Between 800 and 400 exiles are
buried yearly from the Tomsk prison.

How to Beat an Egg.

One person will take fifteen minutes to
beat an egg to froth and haveit less light
than another in five minutes. This Is be-
cause, as Good Housekeeping explains, the
one will beat fast, carrying the fork, but
entanghng very little air; the other will
lift the egg, as it were, and throw it over
the fork. This. Is the proper way and does
the work in half the time. Acquire the
habit of beating eggs, or, in fact, anything
else, from the elbow, not using the whole
arm; the fatigue will be much lessened.
The use of egg beaters has made egg beat
ing for cakes, such formidable task in our
mothers days, a very light one in ours, but
for beating one egg a fork, even now, is
often most convenient. Even with beater,
however, the best results are obtained by
observing certain rules. In hot weather
leave the eggs in ice water or on ice for
some time before using. 1t is not a good
plan, however, to keep all your eggs on ice,
because they then become so thoroughly
chilled that in boiling them you cannot es-
innate the time required, and should they
become frosted they are inferior for all pur-
poses. In beating the whites Of eggs a
tiny pinch of salt win tend to facilitate the
work.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Crowding Too Many Pretty Things Into
the Drawing Room at One Time.
A prominent fault which a New York
critic finds in the drawing rooms Of that
city is the too great profusion of furniture
and bric-a-brac crowded into them. It
trips you up Cd the floor, drops down at
you FROM the chandelier and cornices,
makes it dangerous to steetch your legs or
move your elbows when you sit, and rem
ders it impossible to find bit of unoccu-
pied wall big enough to lean against. 1t is
great pleasure, of course, to have lots of
pretty things, but they need not all be on
exhibition at once. One fashionable woman
in this city, who can afford to buy almost
anything that strikes her fancy, has store
room in her house flied with choice bric-a-
brac and furniture. Every week a dozen or
so of these precious treasures are brought
out and arranged about the rooms, and as
many others that have been on duty for a
time are packed away again. Thus her
parlor has always a certain expression
about it, so to speak, widely different from
the look of a bazaar, highly fashionable, but
exceedingly unrestful, that too well filed
room has.

Remedies for Neuralgia.

Miss Parloa recommends in The House

warm bed. Make brick very hot and
cover it with several thicknesses Of flannel
Fold coarse, thick cloth and place 1t on
the pillow. Lay the brick on this and wet
thoroughly with rum. Rest the most pain
full part of the head or face on the brick
and throw blanket over the patient, Gov
ering the head. Keep covered in this way
until the pain ceases. When the blanket
is removed, wipe the moisture from the
head, face and neck, and then bathe in
alcohol or rum, to prevent the taking of a
cold
Another remedy is to make salt very hot
by stirring it over the fire in frying pan;
then pourit into bag, which should be Sc
curely tied. Have the patient lie down and
cover him well. Place the bag of hot salt
on that part of the head or face where the
pain is located. The salt will retain the
heat long time. This method is much
easier than the first, but it will not relieve
one SO quickly nor SO thoroughly.
