Burial and Cremation.

The London Lance, which is probably
the most advanced English authority in the
world on medical and sanitary questions, Is
an advocate of cremation, but III It's issue
of December 18th accoIds the following
graceful recognition to an argument. on
mond physician Many persons who
regard cremation with no special enthu-
siasm will be ready TO avail themselves OF
the argument by which DIR. W. w. Parker,
of Richmond, Va. seeks TO establish the
superiority of burial In disposing OF the
dead. The view advanced by him, without
pretending TO discuss the question deeply
on scientific grounds. expresses very
fairly certain religious and humanita-
nan reasons for preferring the last
named method. Burial. 1t MAINTAINS, Is
the more natural procedure. As. such 1t
offends personal sentiment less than Gre
matiop. IT harmonizes with that respect
for the dad which distinguishes civilized
communities. it offers no facility or In
ducement for disturbance OF the dead, it
invests the grave with certain Inspiration
as of actual presence, and, II rightly car
ricd ont, need not be either expensive or
insanitary. Moreover. it has the sanction
of primeval example. and of religious
usage, whethe, Jewish or Christian. All
this Is indeed true enough of burial when
carried out in the simplest manner
and without the intervention OF
cumbrous collins or funeral vaults. 1t
must be remembered. however. that the
advantages of this primitive arrangement,
manifest though they are, have not yet
been generally recognized in practice.
Until they are, and until cemeteries have
come to be laid out and regulated IN other
countries besides America with equal re-
gard for health and appearance and disre-
gard for the space appropriated by them,
cremation as a sanitary measure must on
the whole claim precedence over the Older
methodD

SLEEPING WITH A BABY.
A Man Who Has Lived Through IL Tells
His Story.

The free-from-care and ease-taking old
bachelor who. in his momentary lapse OF
wisdom, thinks of matrimony, should at
the same time reflect on the remote but
contingent possibility Of his having to
sometimes sleep with baby, should he
marry. Years of experience of martyrdom
Of this kind, says writer in the Detroit
Free Press, makes me feel it to be my duty
to set forth the misery arising from con-
tingency Of this kind.

decline to stay covered, and will also de-
cline to allowyou to keep yourself covered.
He indicates his wishes in this direction by
keeping his little heels going all night, a
good part of the time on your back.
He will also insist on lying crosswise,
endwise, cat-a-corner. bias, or in any other
position but that which will give you few

INSULT ToA FRIENDLY POWER.
A Japanese war-Ship on Mission OF the
Highest Friendliness Net with
Rebuff-The ErtogrouL


I3y Angio-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
CoNsrASTINorLE, January Am inter-
national incident which has caused some
ridicule and considerable indignation has
occurred in these waters during the past
day or so. A Japanese ironclad frigate,
having on board the survivors of the
Ertogroul (the Turkish ironclad which
foundered in the China seas September
18th during typhoon) arrived of the
forts and batteries guarding the entrance
of the Dardanelles. When the japanese
vessels name and mission were communi-
Gated to the Turkish officers at the
entrance of the straits these officials
claimed they had no authority TO admit
tho ironclad's passage through the Darda-
nelles. The Turks also suggested that the
survivors of the Ertogroul disaster should
be landed from the japanese vessel into
timating that while obliged for the favor
done to Turkey in bringing the unfortu-
nate Turkish sailors back to their native
land the sooner the Japanese war-vessel
returned TO japan tho better pleased would
the Turkish officers be. This treatment 40
enraged the commander of tho Japanese
frigate that he ordered his anchor hove up,
and soon afterwards headed his vessel sea-
ward again, firmly resolved to take the
rescued Turks back to the place he had
brought them from.
A CLASH OF AUTHORITIES.
While the Japanese officers had been par
leying with the Turks, the latter. it seems,
had been vigorously working the wires"
between the forts at the entrance Of the
Dardanelles and the authorities at Con-
stantinople. Then there was furious row
betweent the palace authorities and military
authorities, another between the palace
authorities and naval authorities. and an
other still between all the three groups OF
authorities combined. When the air again
became clear about Constantinople and
tho Dardanelles, steam was hurriedly got
up upon the fastest vessel available at Con-
stantinople- the imperial yacht.
That vessel, after crowding on all the
steam she could with safety carry, man.
aged to overtake the japanese frigate of
the Port Of Smyrna. where she was ex-
pecting to coal.
Tho Turkish imperial yacht ran alongside
the Japanese ironolad and the TURKS began

ness Of the Turkish officers on duty ct the

IN DEFENCE OF CAPTAIN O'SHEA.
Father O'sbea Says the Divorce Proceed
incs Had No Connection with Galway.
fBv Anglo American cable to the Dispatch.l


fBy Anclo-Amorican cable to the Dispatch.I
DUBLIN. January 3.-Father OShea has
written a letter from the franciscan con-
vent at Drogheda. He says: AS TO Cap
tain O'Shea's nomination for the Galway
election of 1888, l can throw light upon the
foul calumnies uttered about Mr.. Parnell
and Captain O'Shea. From undoubted
authorities present it can be proved that
no shadow of suspicion rests upon the pc,
litical purity of motive actuating Parnell
when he decided to run Captain O'Shea
for Galway. He hoped thereby to secure
Captain O'Shea's influence and to induce
coalition of the eighty-six Irish members
of Parliament with the English Liberal
party. Parnell's anxiety was so great to
obtain this result that he carried Captain
O'Shea forward against all opposition and
without the usual political pledges. In
spite of the fact that few stones have been
left unturned to ruin Captain O'Shea's
reputation and lessen his pocket believe
him worthy of his friends esteem for his
kindheartedness and his right sense of
great moral virtues. In the event of an
other election in Galway / should act in O
similar manner to prove my belief in Par
nelps honesty at the time. / could bear
witness that the proceedings in the di-
vorce court had no connection with the
Galway matter so far as Captain OShea
was concerned
