The Supreme Couit of New York has
rendered a decision which confirms the
title Of the dead to the graves in which
shey lie, and, it is hoped, will put a
stop to the dissertation of their rest
ing places under the pretense of pub
lie Improvement. It appears that a
cemetery in Brooklyn had been sold
by the trustees, and one of the lot own
ers sued out an injunction to have his
rights in the matter settled. The Su-
preme Court held that the owner of a
lot in a cemetery held it absolutely in
fee. and that the trustees could not,
sell it nor deprive him of it. The
trustees, it seems, got a special sct OF
the legislature to enable them to sell.
the cemetery, but the Judge said that
the legislature cannot give them power
to sell what they do not own, and can
give no title to.

I, The New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin, which keeps
. daily record of the fires in this
country, and is deservedly high au-
thority on all questions of insurance,
reports the total losses by fire in the
United States and Canada in the year
1898 at $156, 445, s75, against 1882,
'704, TOO in 1892. In but one month of
1898 did the total of fire losses sink
below $40, 900, OOO, and that was in
February, when the returns Of the
journal of Commerce place the figures
% 30, 919, 900. The same paper reports
286 fires in December of a greater de-
structiveness than $40, 900 each. II
mys that the underwriters attribute
much of the loss to careless installa-
tion Of electric light and power

ought to be the occasion of more than

then the absurdity of it all appeared.
How out of place she would look in

would be only a target for the email
wits of his set! He could not protect
her from the annoyances of q false
position, and ~persuading himself that
be loved her too we'll to bring her into
an uncongenial atmosphere, he put the
mad dream aside. He took her hand.
"Good-bye," he faltered-and then he
folded her close to his heart-"Oh.

you, but I never meant to tell you so.
Forgive me, oh, forgive me! I could

not long before memory established
the connection. It was Rebecca,
grown stout and commonplace. She
had a comfortable double chin, and
the once glorious eyes looked out over
ruddy masses of flesh. Her hair had
grown coarser and darker and the rip

Why Rats Gnaw Continually.

Have you any idea why it is that
rats, mice and squirrelsa are continually
cravings at something? They do not do
this for pure wantonness, as people
generally imagine, but because they
are forced to. Animals of that class,
especially the rats, have teeth which
continue to grow aslong as their wner
lives. In the human species the teeth
are developed from pulps which are
absorbed and disappear as soon as the
second set + full grown, but in the
case of the much-maligned rat the
pulp sup ,ly is perpetual, and is COM
tinually sscreting materials by which
the ihcisors gain in length. This
being the case, the poor creature is
obliged to keep up his regular gnaw-
ing operations in order to keep his
teeth ground off to a proper length
