ANCIENT BURIAL CUSTOMS.

The Various Modes of DIsposinG of the
Dead Centuries Ago.
If sun and fire worship be the earliest
forms of religion in the world, it is rea-
Sonable to infer that crema ton is older
than Inflammation. And yet the Chal-
deans, who were fire worshipers, re-
garded the burning of human body as
pollution of their Deity, and the an
cient Parsees las do their modern repre-
sentatives) exposed their dead to the at
tacks of beasts of prey, caring not about
the flesh, and confident in the inde-
structibility of the bones. 1t is curious,
however, that the ancient German races
ala not regard it as a pollution of the
Earth deity to bury their dead. The
Scythians, again, declined both fire and
earth, and made their graves in the air,
hanging the bodies on trees, while the
Ichthyoplorgi of Egypt sought theirs in
the sea. These last, it will be observed,
thought to avoid corruption in the very
manner which the Homeric heroes
dreaded MOSTLY the extinction of the
fire of the soul in water,
The old Balearians, according to
Diodorus Siculus, adopted q curious com
promise. They affected urn burial with
out burning-crushing the flesh and
bones into urns, upon which they heaped
wood without fire. And that the Jews
were not unacquainted with cremation
IS certain, for the men Of Jabesh burned
the bodies of Saul and his sons.
The Massagete, who, according to
Herodotus, inhabited the country to the
east of the Caspian, had a cheerful habit
OF boiling their aged and infirm rela-
tives and of feasting on their bodies,
"esteeming universally this mode Of
death the happiest" Those who died
from disease, however, were not eaten,
but were buried in the earth as alto
gether unfortunate subjects. to be for
gotten quickly as unworthy members Of
the family. Yet as the Massagetse were
sun-worshipers, we may imagine some
thing Of the religious element in the
boiling process Scottish Mauess-~

Her Father Denies That She Qunrrelod
with Her Mother.

Timothy O'Neil, the father Of Kittis
O'Neil Of New Haven, who died from
the effect of rough on rats" believed
to have been taken with suicidal intent,
thinks there is no foundation for certain
statements that appeared in ono of the
evening papers. His daughter, he said,
never had any trouble with her mother
over money which Kittie had saved and
which her mother had taken. The only
thing, he said, which led anyone to be-
lieve that Kittie and her mother had
trouble was once when she intended to
write a letter to a girl friend, her
mother advised her not to, as the young
lady had not answered the last letter
which Kittie wrote. He said that the
statement that affairs in the household
had not been of a pleasant nature was a
falsehood and there could not be more
harmony in household than there had
been in his. He added that his daughter
was never respondent and on the con
trary, was always bright and in the best
