of the House a number of its members,
principally the New York delegation,
met at the Arlington Hotel tonight and
informally discussed the best method of
securing immediate consideration and the
fixing of time for taking vote on the

pointed a committee to take poll of the

the method and manner of procedure that
should be adopted in this matter. The
committee will meet tomorrow and re-
port the result of their conference with
the silver men, and endeavor to agree

Cremation and Disease.

In efforts to prevent the spread of in
fictitious disease there is no drawback so
difficult to overcome as the burial of the
dead in the ground. The microbes of
diseases are very tenacious of life. and
they Will remain with the dead for a
period OF 100 years. The microbes NAV
die, but their spores or seeds have the
vitality to live, aud on coming into favor
able surroundings they will quickly de-
Telop. IN digging up old burial places
scarlet fever, smallpox and diphtheria
nave been let loose and epidemics fol-
lowed. In Quebec q smallpox epidemic
followed the digging up of a cemetery
where the people had been buried 100
years. Similarly in England a scarlet
fever epidemic followed the removal of
dead bodies from a country parish church,
yard.
But occasionally epidemics seem to
break out in the neighbornood of ceme-
terles without any apparent cause. Dar-
win, however, showed twenty years ago
that earthworms completely turned over
the SOIL OF every part of the earth in a
given time, and now Pastuer comes out
wit hposltlve proof that the earthworms
bring up disease germs and microbes from
the dead bodies buried several feet below
the surface. Those who die from in
fictitious diseases are not only menaces to
their friends while they are sick. but
their dead bodies are constant dangers to
the publc health-1ankee Blade.

Artemus NVard,s Joke on Mark Twnir

Artemus had a favorite trick that he

appeared to get good deal of congeniaI
fun. This was the disbursing of a riga
marole of nonsense in solemn and i'm
pressiye manner, as though he was say
ing something of unusual weight and

cation in which he greatly delighted. At
dinner given him by leading Comstock-
ers at the International Hotel, Ward
played this trick on Mark Twain all
present being let into the secret before
hand. lie began an absurd exposition of
the word genius, upon the conclusion of
which the embarrassed Mark was obliged
to acknowledge his inability TO compre-
hend the speakers meaning.
"Indeedn' exclaimed Artemus, and for
half a minute he gaZed at Mark with
face in which a shade of impatience began
to mingle with establishment and compass
sion. Then heaving sigh, he said:
Nv ell, perhaps l was not sufficiently ex-
plicit. What l wished to say was simply
that genius is a sort of illuminating quail
ity of the mind inherent in those of con-
stitutionalIy inflammable natures, and
whose conceptions are not of that am
biguous and disputable kind which may
be said"
"Hold on, Artemus," ;" interrupted Mark.
