TT Is my Judgment that cremation
is the most rational and appropriate
manner of disposing of the dead"
CHARLES 4. DANA"
The rules governing cremation are
interesting, those at Fresh Pond, L. L.,
being as follows: Each application
must be made by the person having
charge of the disposal of the body or
his representative; a blank form pre-
pared by the company must be filed
out and fled in the Office Of the COM
pany. On the filing out of this appli-
cation blank. payment of the incinera-
ton fee, and the presentation of the
physicians certificate stating time,
place and cause of death, an order di-
recting the incarceration is given the
applicant. To this order the under
taker in charge of the body must have
attached the customary certificate
of the board OF health. Every in
cineration must be attended by some
relatives of the deceased or representa-
tive of the family. The price of inctn-
Grafton is thirty-five dollars. This
does not include transportation or IN
dertalxer's services. Children under
ten years are cremated for twenty-five
dollars. No special preparation of the
body or clothing is necessary. The
body is always incinerated in the
clothing as received. The coffin in
which the body is carried to the Gre
matory is never allowed to be removed
from the building, but is burned with
a. T. 81 !,
from contagious disease no exposure
of the body is permitted. Incarceration
may be as private as the friends of the
deceased desire. On the day following
the incineration the ashes are deliver
able at the Office in receptacle pro-
yided by 1t.

The funeral cortege arrives at the
chapel, where the services are held.
The body is placed on the catafalque,
brass railing. After the services are
completed the catafalque with the body
descends by the means of an elevator
to the crematory below.
Before the coffin has entirely disap-
peared from view, a black pallis drawn
over the railing. After the body has
reached the crematory, the coffin, with
out disturbing the body, is placed on
light traveller, which rests on the top
of a long carriage or table with
wheels, that fit to a track leading to
the retort.
The coffin is then covered or envel-
oped with a white cloth that has been
saturated in a solution of alum. This
Is done to prevent any part of the cot
fin igniting while it is being placed in
the retort The retort door is opened
and the coffin with the body is then
moved into it by means of the travel
er and table. The table is withdrawn,
the door is closed and frightened, SO
that no air can enter the retort, or
none of the gases escape. All is done
quickly and in harmony with the so
lemnity of the occasion. The process
Of distillation begins. First, the gases
Of the wood of the coffin crumbIe and
finally the body.
In about three hours the coffin i. re-
duced to charcoal, and the body TO
pearly white ashes. When the ashes
are removed from the retort the char
coal is separated from the ashes, and
the ashes are then placed in tempo
rary receptacle until final disposition
of the remains are determined on by the
relatives of the deceased.

Graceful Flattery.

The Tuileries garden was made foi
Louis NV. according to the plans OF
the famous French landscape gar
dener, lie Notre. One day the King
expressed dissatisfaction with one OF
the main avenues of the garden.
The next morning he was amazed to
find the avenue just as he wanted it.
The skilful and energetic gardener
had changed the direction and plan
of the avenue during the night
A much more elaborate and ingen-
ious tribute to the Kings taste was
paid by the Duke D'Antin, Superin-
tendent of the royal buildings. Louis
once remarked impatiently that he
hoped that some time a forest which
he had always diSliked, becau'e it
obstructed one of his favorite views,
would be cut down.
No one knew better than the Duke
DAntin how to flatter the King. On
this occasion he combined tact and
skill. Unknown to the King he had
the trunks of all the trees in the OBJ
jectlonable piece of forest sawed
through near the ground in such d
way that they still stood, though a
slight pull would bring them down.
He removed every evidence of the
work, and fastened ropes to the tops
of the trees, and concealed more
than ], 200 men in the forest 20 man
age the ropes at a S gnal from him.
The Duke knew on what day the
King would walk in the wood, and
planned his work accordingly. The
King took his accustomed promenade,
and as usual, he expressed his senti-
ment about the hated forest.
"YOur Majesty, the crest shall be
removed whenever you like" said
D'Antin.
Indeed" said the King, "then I
wish that it might be done at once"
At that moment D'AnUin blew a
shrill blast from whistle, and to
the utter amdZement Of the kirg
and the royal party, the forest fell as
if by enchantment

That, Of all known agents to nccomplisf
this purpose, DIR. PierceS Pleasant Pellets ars
unequaied, is proven by the fact that once
used, then are dlICouS IN fGUor. Their sec
ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
regular, not to further cOnstipate, as is the
case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-
stipation, piles, and indigestion.
The " Pleasant Pellets " are far more effec-
tive in arousing the liver to action than s'blus
tions, and have the further merit of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system no particular
care is required while using them.
Composed of the choicest, concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that of other pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to forty-four pellets
are put up in each sealed glass vial, as sold
through druggists, and can be had at the price
of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills
Dr. Pierce prides himself on having been
first to introduce Little Liver Pill to the
American people. Many have initiated them,
but none have approached his Pleasant Pei
lets in excellence.

Much Of the beauty of the stars de
pends upon their scintillation. The
multitudinous flashing OF their tiny
rays gives wonderful life and
brilliancy to winters night. The
great star Sirius excites the most
admiration when, near the horizon,
he coruscateS with rainbow hueS.
But the astronomer would be glad il
he could put stop to the scintillat-
ing of the stars. That unsteadiness
of their light is one of the chief o6-
stacles he has to overcome in study
ing them with the telescope.
Scintlllation has generally been re-
garded as due only to slight disturb
ances in the atmosphere But as re-
cent observations have shown that
red stars scintillate less than white
ones, it has been suggested that the
causes of some Of the essential differ
ences in the sclntillatiOns OF differ
ent stars may be in the stars them
selves. There is no doubt. however,
that the maj cause oil scintillation
depends upon the cond tiun of the
air.
Most people suppO e that when the
stars appear to lose their liveliness of
light and shine without twinkling as
minute bright points in the sky, fair
weather is in prospect. Studies
lately made in France and Swift er-
land seems to contradict this popular
belief 1t has been found there that
when the stars are feeble in their
scintillations foul weather is at hand.
The nj hit before most violent storm
in France, for instance, the stars hung
so quietly in the sky that they seemed
to have entirely loss the scintillat-
ing power
This is said to be only one instance,
among many which show that an un-
usual steadiness in the light of the
stars precedes the appearance of
storms.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, April 10. The
April Bulletin of the Mining ID epart-
ment Of the Pennsylvania State College
contains some interesting summaries
from the advance sheets of the State
mine Superintendents. A comparison
of the accidents resulting from mining
and railroading shows that the former
is not so much more dangerous than
the latter as it is usually considered.
Out of every 500 employees in the BIZ
luminous region last year, one was
killed; out of every 209, one was in
-jured. In the railroad employ, out of
every 800, one was killed and out of
every 80, one injured. Even in the
deeper and more extensive mines, the
average Of deaths to the number EN-
ployed is smaller than on railroads.
The amount of coal produced by the
State of Pennsylvania last year would
give each family in the United States
six tons more than enough to supply
all if it were so distributed. If loaded
on cars, the train would reach one and
one-half times around the globe.

| Cane In Eleven Hundred piece,,

William E. Yale, a wealthy Brooklyn
N. W bachelor, is a remarkable trav.
sler, and his delight is historical study.
He has cane that he carries with him,
which is undoubtedly the most costly
and unique of anything of the kind in
the world.
The stick contains about 100 piece.
Of wood. Each piecs is cut in curious
aud artistic shape, so that the cane with
the various colo-ed and shaped woods
has strange appearance.
Mr.. Yale planned and made the cane,
and work upon it consumed weeks of
labor at different times in the curse OF
;eversl years.
Sixty OF t.e 1100 pieces of wood are
of great value to relic hunters. The
head OF the cane is made from post in
the house of Shakespeare's birthplace at
Stratford, England. Set in the head is
& small lock Of white hair from Martha
Washiugtou's head, the lock having
been given Mr.. Yale thirty years ago by
Robert Z. Lee, descendant of Mrs.
Washington.
There is piece of wood from tn,

Corsica, and one from Napoleon's writ
ing desk at st. Helena.
Other pieces of the cane came from
The Charter Oak, from the home of John
Adams, from a chair of Oliver Crom veil,
Som the home of Julia Hancock, from
the Msyhower, Roger Willlams's pew,
from desk of Abraham Lincoln, from a
penholder of Gladstone, from a rule that
Garfield used at school, from penholder
of Longfellow, from trunk that Lafay-
ette used during the Revolutionary War,
from the bed upon which John Wesley
died and from the guillotine upon whica
Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette were
beheaded. Mr.. Yale spent years and
much care in collecting the relies.
He has been offered $1,000 for tn,
zane, which is truly r wonder. He will
leave it to the historical department of
Cornell University when he dies.

WORTH REMEMBERING,

Lemons will keep fresh for weeks if
covered with water.
Nasturtium leaves are beautiful for
garnishing fish and meat.
For taking blood stains from white
goods nothing equals kerosene.
Never put leftover food in tin vessels.
Vegetable, scrubbing and Other
brushes should be kept with the bristles
down.
Dip fish in boiling water for a minute
and the scales will come off more easily.
sadirons will not scorch if they are
first wiped on a cloth saturated with
kerosene.
Rub soft, not melted, lard over the
top of bread before baking, and wrap in
a damp cloth with large dry one after
baking, and there will be no hard crusts.
Keep bread in covered box america 1

TO MAKE VINEGAR.

Excellent vinegar may be made IN this
way: Take six gallonsiof pure or filtered
