to be any ground OF alarm as yet for cases OF

peiieve that tho practice will como into gon-
eral favor. among Christians. at all events.
Inc bodies crcmeted thus far have boon those
OF unbelievors In Christianity and in tho doc

btnical Conference in this city the minister's
OF Judaism favored a doliverance to the
effect that cremation is admissible. as It is
not forbidden by MOSES or in any passage Of
the Torah: but this deliverance will not be
accepted by the orthodox Jews, who point out
tho fact that MOSES himself was buried, though
the circumstances OF his burial render It i'm
probable that he was cofflned As for the
people who believe in what is known as
earth BURIAL" there are not enough of them
to affect the prosperity OF the trade which
hold Its Convention here last week.

been reading for years about the steamships
that bolt across the Atlantic at tremendous
rate OF speed. and no has recently learned that

In less than six days time. He tells us
that forty years ago he took passage from
New York to Liverpool in a fine old sail

him nearly q month on the sea. She
moved softly when the wind was low: scudded
gayly when the gale ran high: stood almost
still when the air was calm: rocked when
there was a sQunll. and went along most OF
the time at 30 many knots an hour till the
pleasant voyage was ended and she was
anchored on the other side. He had a splen-
did time aboard the great old sailing ship.

that he can set out on voyage lasting one
month. two months. or even three months,
