EMMA ABBOTT CREMATED.
The Opera Singers Remains
Reduced to Ashes i'm
PittSburg.

came known to-day that the rema ms
of Emma Abbott, the famous opera
singer, were cremated two weeks ago.
It was on account Of Miss AbDott's
aged mother that the cremation was
secret. She is past 20 years of age
and quite feeble, and strongly pro-
tested against the burning of her be-
loved daughters remains. The exec.
utors feared that if she was notified of
the cremation she might insist on
being present, and might not be able
to recover from the shock.
1t was decided about three weeks
ago to bring the body here and have
it secretly cremated. Two weeks ago
last Saturday the executors, Messrs
Houghtou and Dunning of New York,
and Maj. Jas. L. Mitchell of Indian
apolis met In Chicago. Sunday even
ing the casket was removed from
the vault, and was placed in a plain
wooden box for the trip to Pittsburg.
Mrs. Clark, the deceased's sister, VINO
lives at the Continental Hotel, Chi.
cago, was the only relative who was
present when the body was removed
for shipment. A ticket was pur-
chased for the body, and even the
trainmen had no information as to
whose remains were in the box. The
three executors accompanied the body.
The cremation took place in Samson's
Crematory. The arrangements had
all been carefully made, and when the
train arrived Mr.. Samson himself met
it and conveyed the remains to his
crematory, situated in the basement
of his undertaking establishment.
Mr.. Samson's SOD, who is his partner
in business, did not even know whose
the corpse was. The cremation oc-
Cured late Monday evening.
The body was lift d from the
casket and placed upon an iron liter.
The singer still wore the same dress
that the corpse appeared in when SO
many friends viewed it in Chicago on
the day of the funeral, and the wilted
flowers still rested upon the body.
The features of the dead woman were
still as natural as they were the day
she died. In accordance with the re.
quest of the will, the electrical test
was applied to the body, and it was
then gently rolled into the furnace.
Only the executors and Mr.. Samson
and his son stood before the glass door
of tho s---.~O anu s"" a -
bones of the once sweet singer turn
into ashes. L.
In two hours the work was done.
The ashes, enough to fill half-gaIlOn1
cup. were tenderly gathered ana
placed in a silver urn, which was
sealed and handed over to Executors
Houghton and Dunning. The para,
mount proviso of the singers VIII, mao
been carried out, and wish that she
had many times expressed to her int
mate friends had been gratltled.
Messrs. Houghton and Dunning car.
RED the sacred urn with them 70 Nen

and other vaIuables of Miss Abbott
locked in a safety vault. .s
In that vault the ashes will rest un

urn will be carried to the Glouceste
Cemetery and buried beside Miss Alb

A Chapel for the Soldiers, Home.

The trustees of the Soldiers Home
at Bennington have sent out circular
setting forth the need of a chapel in
connection with the institution. The
circular says: Why cannot the funds
for its erection be gathered as heart
offering on the Sabbath of memorial
service in 1891? 1t seems TO us that
but to ask will insure the fund, and to
that end we request that contributions
be taken for that specific purpose on
the Sabbath preceding Memorial day,
1891, in all places where memorial SER
mons are preached, that the Grand
Army posts, and Woman's Relief
Corps when it is possible, give notice
in the local press the week previous
that such contributions will be taken
up, and that those who find it incon-
venient to attend, may hand in such
contributions to the commander of the
post, or the president of the Woman's
Relief Corps, or send the same directly
to John G. Stearns, Bradford, treasurer
who will receipt for the same, and will
early in June publish in the state
papers statement of the contributions
received. Thus, with state tax, by q
free voluntary heart offering in &C.
acknowledgement of Gods great mercy tc
our land, we shall erect an enduring
testimonial of our thanks"

Mary and Her Dog.


Such pretty story read the other
day about little girl, named Mary,
who lives in Pennsylvania! In some
way she fell and broke her arm, and
had to keep in bed for long while.
Her playmates came to see her, and
often brought her beautiful flowers, of
which she was very fond. There was
something else, too, which Mary loved
dearly, and that was her dog, whose
name was Bob. He seemed to feel
very sorry for his little mistress, and he
noticed how happy the flowers always
made her. So he thought he would
give her a bouquet too. Away he went
into the yard, and plucked mouthful
of plantain leaves. Then he hurried
back to Mary, put his forepaws on her
bed, dropped the leaves, and wagged
his tail, saying as plainly as any dog
could: Don't you think my flowers
are pretty too?'-Selected.

Which Will Succeed

Fred and Joe are boys of about the
same age-almost equally intelligent.
Both belong to poor families, so will
have to make their own way in life.
When set to do task, this is the way
Joe does! He waits as long as he pos
stbly can before he touches it-he hates
to begin, and the longer he waits the
worse he hates it. When he finally be-
gins, he works with all his might, and
doesn't half do it; he is in such a hurry
to be through. He is almost sure to
stop before the work is thoroughly done.
He doesn't care if his employer does
find him idle, or finds fault with his
work. He says, as an excuse, can't
help it; did the best / could, and l
don't care" Fred's way is different.
When assigned a task he goes at it at
once-not in hurry, but determined
TO do it as we'll as he can, and as soon
as he can DO it well. He never Sights
his work for play, though he loves to
play, and plays hard after his work is
done. He doesn't spend his time
watching TO see if his employer is look
ing, but works so he need not care
whether he is watched or not. Each of
these boys is an applicant for more
responsible position and increased sal.
ary. Which one of them, do my boy
readers think, will succeed in attaining
the omotion?-ETchdnge

remember reading in nay boyhood
about merchant travelling on horse
back accompanied by his dog. He dis
mounted for some purpose and acct.
dentally dropped his package of money.
The dog saw il; the merchant did not.
The dog barked to stop him, and as he
rode farther, bounded in front of the
horse and barked louder and louder.
The merchant thought he had gone
mad, drew pistol from his holster
and shot him. The wounded dog
crawled back to the package, and when
the merchant Uncovered his loss and
rode back, he found his dying dog ly-
ing there, faithfully guarding the treas
ure. The following little story, told by
a friend of mine, is not so painful, but
adds force to the thought, think before
you strike any creature that cannot
speak: When l was boy, and lived
up in the mountains of New Hamp-
shire, worked for a farmer, and was
given span Of horses to pillow with g.,
one of which was four-year-old colt.
The colt, after walking few steps,
would lie down in the furrow. The
farmer was provoked, and told me to
sit on the colts head TO keep him from
rising while he whipped him, to break
him of that notion as he said. But
just then neighbor came by. He said:
There is something wrong here; let
him get mp and let us examine He
patted the colt, looked at the harness,
and then said: Look at this collar; it
is so long and narrow and carries the
harness so high that when he begins
to pull it slips back and chokes him so
he can't Breathe And so it was; and
but for the neighbor, he would have
whipped as kind a creature as we had
on the farm, because he laid down
when he couldn't breathe" 1t was
only the other day l heard of a
valuable ST.. Bernard dog being shot
because, having a wound on his head,
concealed by the hair, he bit a person
who handled him roughly. Boys, young
and old, please remember that these
creatures are dumb. They may be
hungry, or thirsty or cold, or faint, or
sick, or bruised, or wounded, and can
not tell you. Think before you strike
any creature that cannot speak.-Er.

The Girl Who Exaggerates.

A good many girs-girls who mean
TO be truthful-drift into little habit
Of eXaggeration that in time will be-
come something more. A girl with a
vivid Imagination hears a story told =,
and, seized with a desire to Guido her
companion, tells a marvellous one which
is absolutely without existence except
in her own brain. 1t is fiction that
will hurt nobody, she thinks. That's
where she is mistaken. Every time she
does this sort of thing she hurts herself.
She makes her conscience weaker, and
almost before she is conscious Of it she
will be telling things that will cause
mischief. She will ruin herself morally
and mentally, and people will speak of
her as one who is not to be trusted, and
who is very undesirable as a friend.
She becomes the sort of woman about
whom in time people will say, pre-
fer her enmity to her friendship, be-
cause when she is my enemy she doesn't
know about my private affairs and can't
eXaggerate them and tell them to every
body; whereas, while she is my friend
she may, without meaning to do it, tell
in detail all of my life, and make me
very uncomfortable" Fancy having
made yourself so undesirable that your
enmity is preferred TO your friendship
it is possible. Now, stop in time. With
the first inclination to give the history
of two thousand rather than two cats
put memory ribbon in your frock, and
whenever you feel the inclination to
enlarge upon stories already told, that
little ribbon will flutter a warning, and
remind you to stop in time.-LadieS
Home Journal.

here he became wealthy, having gone
into business for himself. He learned
the Greek language, both ancient and
modern, and later he added Arabic to
his stock of tongues. 10 the Greek
language Schliemann read Homer, and
resolved to test the truth of Homer's
stories by digging upon the site of
ancient Troy. His delvings into the
buried past have brought to light vast
quantity of antiquities, and made the
people of modern times more familiar
with ancient civilization than they
could possibly be from reading history
alone. Schliemann's resources brought
for him the highest honors from scien-
tifc men throughout the world; and a
large museum at Berlin attests to his
own peculiar line of investigation. Our

An Example for Boys.

Boys and girls who think they have
few or no opportunities of doing any
thing" or becoming somebody are
often discouraged from putting forth
any effort. Yet it is from the ranks of
those whose opportunities are limited
that the worlds roll of great men and
women is made up. To the many pre-
vious examples of self-made men may
be added that of Heinrich Schliemann,
who died on December 26, at Naples.
Schliemann was poor boy, dependent
upon his own exertions at the age of
fourteen; yet he became one of the
worlds most famous psychologists,
travellers and linguists. Schliemann's
father was poor clergyman, who died
while his son was very young, leaving
him to the care of relatives whose chief
concern was to see that the boy should
not be a burden to them. From his
fourteenth to his nineteenth year he
worked in a grocery store and learned
Latin. He went to Amsterdam at
nineteen, and became clerk in a mer-
camille house. To his native German
and his Latin he now added in his
leisure time the English, French, Dutch,
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Rus
sian languages. He wasted no hours
in idleness, one may be sure, and frit-
tered away no precious moments in
foolish occupations. His command of
the Russian language led to a lucrative
appointment in 81. Petersburg; and
