Cremation and Crime.

It is said that the Pennsylvania Leg
islature will take steps concerning Gre
nation in that State so as to prevent
that process from being used to conceal
evience of crime. The wonder is that
laws covering so great danger have
not already been enacted.
A company is getting ready to build
cermatory in Chicago. 1t ought to go
on with the enterprise. Cremation is
the purest, cleanest, most gentle and
kindly mode of carrying out the law of
death which in time effects destruction
of mortal remains by one process or an
other. Conventionality makes burial
seem more natural" Ignorant super
stition has grotesquely opposed crema-
ton on the grounds that it will prevent
resurrection of the body-as if in the
thousands of years that mankind have
been in the earth in countries where in
terment is the mode of disposal of the
dead any vestige of the individual body
except in phenomenal cases remains !;
as If the miracle of individual body res
direction is not as easy of accomplish
ment to deity out of sea as out of land,
out of ashes artifcially manufactured in
clearly and heathful mode as out OF
ashes naturally produced by the chemi-
cal action of earth gases. Or are worms
| and vermin more becoming abettors of
heavenly hopes than fire?-the great
purifier, for its very name is etymolo-
gically identical with purity.
Cremation will become the universal
mode of cleansing the bodies of the dead
| of impurities and perishable elements
in the tissues, while it will preserve the
part that may then be cherished accord
ing to noble sentiment and without do
ing violence to any creed or belief in
resurrection or in q future existence OF
the same physical sheath in which the
spirit has been incased. A cermatory
ought to be built in this city; and its
proprietors will themselves be foremost
in securing the enactment of law that
will protect them from becoming in
voluntary abettors or concealers of
| crime. -ChScauO Herald.

A Laka az AEoltan Ftra,

The following remarkable account
has been culled from the writings OF
Joaquin Miller, and have reference to
the Volcano ofManna Loa, in the Sand
which Islands:
After visiting the American Consul
at Honolulu, we started for the volcano,
and after hard, hot climb, reached
the edge of q precipice overhanging q
lake OF molten fire. ten miles in cir
conference and 100 feet below us,
This is called by the natives Kilianea,
or god of fire.
1t is the largest active volcano in the
world, and is 5000 feet above the sea
level. This molten mass went dashing
against the cliffs on the opposite side
with noise like the deep and mighty
surges of stormy ocean. Waves of q
blood-red fiery liquid lava hurled their
pillows ON an iron-bound headland and
then rushed up the face of the cliff tc
toss their CORY spray high in the air.
This restless, heaving lake of fire boiled
and dubbed, never remaining silent for
single instant. There is an island on
one side of this lake which the fiery
waves attack INCREASINGLY, and with re-
lentless fury, as if bent on hurting il
from its base
On the other side there was o large
cavity into which this burning mass
rushed with loud roar, breaking down
in its impetuous. headlong career the
gigantic stalactites that overhung the
mouth of this cavern, and fiinging M
the liquid material for the formation d
new ones. It is terribly grand, mag
nifcently sublime; but no words car
adequately describe such scene, anG
no power but that of Omnipotence pro
duce it.

Novels That Corrupt.

tain Parisians, who try to veil their
degradation under fi1a-de-siecLe euphu-

creatures reach only their own species.
Their venom cannot tsint the tissues of
beings Of higher type. But there
may be found in London society men
who would do the fell work which such
inimitable masters of seductive speech
as Gautier and Maupassant have done
in their most evil hours. We cannot
shut our eyes to the fact that the worst
novel written in English in this GEN.
fury was published by Mr.. w. Ell. Mall
lock, an unquestionable adept in the
graces and suggestiyeness of style.
The crime which such men commit is
the suppression of the iron law inn
bedded in the human heart long before
it took vindictive shape in the codes of
society the law that imposes on wrong
doing woe and punishment, ever in this
life. Such men not only plant tempta-
ton, which is lawful and may be help
full, but they show it succnmbed to with
defiance and impunity. They portray
the evil doer, but omit to delineate the
scourge. They make vice doubly in
fictitious, not only by assembling it's
deformity, but by hiding it's doom. -

Pellets have done their work.
It's a healthy movement, too

Savage Lanor said. in his savage way,
that no person should ever have more
than five books on hand. He said that
when You had read q book thoroughly
you had better give it away, and that
it was idle to keep around you so many
moments of unfinished reading as most
men had in the books Of their libraries.
This is straining point, undoubtedly.
and few of us would say that Landor's
rule was working rule, In education
or life. But what Landor meant was
that it was worth while for man to be
of with the old love before he was on
with the new. He meant that it was
worth while for people to finish, and
finish thoroughly, one line of study be-
fore they embarked on another. = B0s-

The Enormous Amount of Life Which Has

it is owing almost entirely to the fearful

up wasted tissues. 1t renews the nervous
