INCIDENTS OF CREMATION.
An Index Finger Pointing to Heaven from

An Index Finger Pointing to Heaven from
the Flames.
Many bodies are reduced to ashes at
SamsOn's crematory of which the world
knows nothing, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. The remains are placed in
the retort without flourish of trumpets,
as the relatives are seldom DESTROYS of
the notoriety which at present attaches
to this method of disposing of the dead.
The retort has glass-covered OPEN
ing through which the consumption of
the body can be watched, and in some
cases the sight is terrifying, owing to
the action of the heat upon the muscles.
An uncle took the body of dearly be-
loved niece to the crematory. He stood
watching the flames consuming the
body, when he was startled by seeing
the right arm, with the fingers of the
hand open, reach upward. Then all but
the index finger of the hand closed, and
the corpse lay rccumbent in the flames,
apparently pointing to the kingdom
which is never invaded by death. The
uncle received Il shock from which he
did not recover for days. Had it not
been for the fact that the girl had been
dead for months, and had been buried
for several weeks, the uncle would have
believed that his niece had been placed
in the retOrt while in n trance, and that
she had returned to life when too late.
In some cases wien the body is first
placed in the retort it will rise to a sit
ting posture, and in many instances
turns over upon it's face.

,~"Grape fruit" is a citrous fruit,
closely resembling, and by some said
to be identical with, the shaddock,
named from the growth of the fruit in
clusters. Its production in this country
is chiefly confined to Florida. The tree
is larger and handsolner than that of
other fruits of it's class. The fruit is
large, frequently five inches in diam
etcr, has smooth, light-yellow skin,
ripcns later than the orange and is
found in the northern markets from
December to May. 1t has medicinal
properties, and when we'll ripened is by
many people considered superior to the
orange. The bitter membrane that di-
vidcs the pulp should be removed be-
fore the latter is eaten or the pulp
should be scooped out from it, There
are several varieties, and the number is
enlarged by importations. The grape
fruit is known also as the pomelo,
rompelmouse and by other names.

An Agreeable Sound Which Accompanies
the Fashionable Woman.
A couple of elderly men were engaged
in conversation in front of leading
hotel the other day, says a Philadelphia
paper, when fashionably dressed
woman, who, from the several small
articles in her hands, evidently had been
shopping, approached, Suddenly stop
ping in the midst of his talk, the taller
of the two men bent his head down as
if to catch some sound. whats the
matter?" quickly inquired his COM
panion. Are you sick?" "No. Shl
listen"
AS the lady swept past soft, low,
rustling sound was heard, like the crush
ing of soft silk in ones hand. 1t was q
pleasing sound.
"Wonder where that noise comes
from, "curiously inquired the short man,
hardly before the fair shopper had
passed out of earshot.
"WhN" explained his friend, sit
came from that lady's skirt. 1t is
woman's latest fad-a rustling skirt,
This sound is produced by strip of
some sort of silk importation, and is
put on the lower edge of the underslxirt.
When the feet touch it the noise is pro-
duced. 1t is European wrinkle. Twas

POLITICAL INFLUENCE IN THE
NAVY.

Secretary Tracy, Of the Navy, an
nounced week or two ago at Bos-
ton banquet that he was gong to
reform the Navy, which was conducted
more in the interest of politicians
than for the benefit of the public
who pay for it. Since then he has
experienced a change of heart, in fact
turned complete somersault, 30 to
speak, and to please the politicians
has made himself the laughing stock
of those who have watched his course
in naval affairs. Last January he
publicly denounced Commander
Reiter, of the United States Man Of
War, Ranger, as poltroon and a
coward for permitting the assassina-
ton of General Barundia, Of Guate-
mala, on the American steamer AGA
pulco, on which he sought protection.
The Secretary then said in an official
letter reprimanding Reiter;
ut is believed that few cases have
occurred in the history Of the United
States Navy where the commanding
officer so completely abandoned the
responsibility Of his position az, &C
cording to your own showing, you did
upon this critical occasion. An officer
who so abdicates his authority and
that Of the Nation he represents, and
sUrrenders it to others, has u lesson
to learn before he can safely be in
trusted with the command Of ship
of war. Whenever any passenger,
whether American or foreigner, is re-
ceived on Board an American steamer,
he comes underneath the American
flag and is entitled to the protection
and security Of which that flag is a
guarantee. 1t was within your legiti-
mate power, as it was your imperative
duty, to execute by every means
legally at your command the guaran-
tee of protection which the United
States gives to all vessels under the
flag"
Now Commander Reiter, who the
Secretary said had much to learn be-
fore he can safely be intrusted with
the command of ship of war, has
been assigned by that self same Secre-
tary to the command Of the United
States man .of-war Thetia, one Of the
most desirable ships in the navy. The
commander learned that the way to
acquire eminence and promotion in
the navy was not by defending those
who seek protection under the Ameri-
can flag, but by bringing political in
tiuence 10 bear on an administration
that is using the whole machinery Of
the Government to secure the re-
nomination of President Harrison
