Objections to Cremation.

The archbishop Of Paris has issued
instructions to his clergy commanding
them to condemn the practice OF Gre
nation, which he regards as the 'tri-
umph OF materialism over religious
spiritualism. NJ. Earnest Renan
thinks that this pastoral letter is in
conformity with true Christian doc
trine. He points out that the great
dread Of the early christians was lest
their bodies should DO torn by wild
beasts or burned after their death.
For myself" adds M. Renan, as
] do not believe in the resurrection Of
the body as the dogma of the church
describes it, 1t matters very little to
me in what way my body may be dis
posed OF when / am dead. Whether
1t be burned or buried or consumed
by the birds Of the air or the beasts OF
the field is TO me matter OF the most
complete Indifference My objec-
ton to cremation is that it must be
very painful to the survivors. Burial
Is sad enough; but how much sadder
Is burning?"

Origin Of Old Maids.

This is not so bad when you get
through the preface. A professor in
Ann Arbor, Mich, was discussing the
process of fertilizing plants by means
of insects carrying the pollen from
one plant to another. and to amuse
them told how old maids were the
ultimate cause OF 1t ALL The
humble-bees carry the pollen; the field
mice eat the humble-bees; therefore,
the more field mice the fewer hum
ble-bees and the less pollen and vari-
alton of plants. But cats devour field
mice and old maids protect cats.
Therefore, the more old maids the
more cats the fewer field mice the
more bees. Hence, old maids are the
cause OF variety in plants.
Thereupon sophomore, with a
single eyeglass, an English umbrella
a box-coat, with his trousers rolled
up at the bottom, arose and asked:
II sa-a-y, professah, what is the
cause-ah-of old maids, don't you
know"
perhaps Miss Jones can tell YOU"
suggested the professor.
.,Dudesp' said Miss Jones sharply
and without moments hesitation.

FLYING FISH.
It Seems Now That They Really DO Fly
Like Fowls.

Like Fowls.
There has been much argument on
the subject Of the flight Of so-called
"fying fishes" says the St. Louis Re-
public, some eminent naturalists hold
ing that true flight is peculiar to fowls
and insects, and that the motion Of
this piscatorial curiosity is closely allied
to that of the flight of "hying lizards, p"
flying squirrels, ETC., being simply
a single long sweep At present, how
ever, the weight of the evidence seems
to favor the theory of true fight c.
o. Whitman, in an article In the
American Naturalist, demonstrates
from actual observation that in the
language OF Rev. Mr. Jasper, ',fying
fish do n.y." The observations upon
which Mr. Whitman bases his very In
teresting and detailed account were
taken during a voyage from San Fran
cisco to Yokohama, Japan. After
carefully noting the movements OF fly
ing fishes from the start to the finish,
Prof. Whitman does not hesitate to
pronounce the motion true and grace
full flight" Prof. ID. S. Jordan has
also carefully examined the flight Of
Erocoetus CalJornicus. Exc is the
flying fish Of Southern California, and
is one Of the most agile Of its species.
Prof Jordan says that his most trust
worthy observations were taken early
in the morning when both air and
water were free from motion. He
says: When the fish rises from the
water the movements OF the tail are
continued for some seconds, even after
the whole body Is out of water. While
the tail Is In motion the pectoral fins
are in state OF very rapid vibration,
the ventrals being closed or folded.
When the action OF the tail ceases the
pectoraGls and ventrals are spread. and,
as far as we can see. held at rest.
When the fish begins to fall. the tail
touches the water and the motion OF
the pectorals recommences, thus en-
abling the fish TO resume its fight. In
some instances Prof. Jordan noticed
that the distance covered by the flight
was upwards OF quarter OF mile.

No Longer Looking for a Title.

Miss Gwendoline Caldwell, OF
Washington, who created sensation
by becoming engaged to Prince
Murat and then breaking of the en-
gagement has made arrangements,
SO it is said, TO enter into the matri-
monial state with a man who has not
title, but who has wealth instead.
Miss Gwendoline is negotiating for a
beautiful estate on the cliffs at New
port which belonged to the late
George Bancroft, and should she sue
coed in buying the property, she says
she will erect a 81, 1000 900 cottage.
II will be remembered that the elder
Miss Caldwell married Baron Won

The Cheerful woman.

For a good, everyday household
angel give us woman who laughs.
Her bisuuit may not be always just
right, and she may occasionally burn
her bread and forget TO replace dis
located buttons, but for solid comfort
all day and every day, she is par
agon. Home is not battlefield, nor
life one long, amending row. The trick
of seeing the bright side, or If the
matter has no bright side, of shining
up the dark one, is a very importan,
faculty, one of the things no woman
should be without. We are not all
born with the sunshine in our hearts,
as the Irish prettily phrase it, but we
can cultivate cheerful sense Of humoI
il we only try.

Sympathize with them In their sor-

may be. Do not wait to tell them Of
their goodness after their little forms
are cold In death, and their hearts can
not throb with Joy at your approval.
Do not hesitate IL the little one asks

those same flowers may help to form
a wreath for the little coffin lid.

vtmodauahsis Club House.

Wimodaughsis, the Washington
women's club, has at last succeeded
In buying q home. Some time ago this
prosperous women's club selected a
house on the north side OF l. street
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, for its permanent home, it
having been decided some time before
to own rather than lease. The
organization had good round
sum in its treasury realized
from the sale OF stock. The
house on l. street suited the
ladies and the owners price was
agreed to. Five hundred dollars were
paid on the house, but when the time
came to close the bargain the owner
backed out and, having made up his
mind he did not want to sell, paid back
the $500 deposit. No. 1925 street
opposite Franklin park, was finally
settled on and the property bought a
few days ago. The house will be
newly furnished throughout not Law
ishly, the ladies say. but handsomely.
1t is easily accessible, and yet in a
quiet neighborhood.

Thou hast done evil
And given place to the Devil;
Yet so cunningly thou concealest
The thing which thou feelest.
That no eye espieth it,
Satan himself denieth 1t.
Go where 1t chooseth thee,
There Is mono that accrseth thee;
Neither foe nor lover
viii the wrong uncover;
The worlds breath raiseth thee
And thy own past praiseth thee,
Yet know thou this:
At quick Of thy being
is an eye, all-seeing,
The snakes wit evadeth not,
The charmed lip persuadeth not;
So thoroughly it despiseth
The thing thy hand prizeth,
Tho the sun were thy clothing,
1t should count thee for nothing.
Thine own eye divineth thee,
Thine own soul arraigneth thee;
God himself cannot shrive thee
Till that judge forgive thee.

Women Not Angels,

1t is evident that women as we now
find them are very far from being per-
feet and angelic beings. In the matter
OF pecun!ary honesty, while they are
far above men, they have hitherto had
far less OF temptation or opportunity
than men. In lawless races, as the
English gypsies, where women have
great freedom, this distinction does not
exist. On the contrary, while the
mems range Of action In this respect
goes no farther than cheating in a
horse trade, to the women alone is
entrusted what is known as 1.-The
great trick" by which all the silver
Of an unsuspectiug family is appro-
priated under pretence Of changing
it into gold. There is no reason
to suppose that women are not
capable of being dishonest;
and there is every reason to sup
pose that whenever they become SO
the recognized sharpness of the fem
mime wit will place them high up in
their chosen vocation. Experienced
critics declare that no swindling de-
vice ever contrived In this country
was more skillful than the "Woman's
Bank, " long conducted in Boston. Nay,
it will be remembered that after its
frauds had been thoroughly exposed,
magazine articles were still written in
its defense by perfectly upright
women. and those who had aided in its
exposure were severely censured.
Without doubt there arc women who
still believe In it, and regard its pro-
jector as being the unappreciated
philanthropist she called herself.
