thorough preparation which college train

shown, and a distinction drawn between
that and the false ideas OF freedom which
have been drawn from the Declaration Of
Independence. wherein every man is ready
To cry liberty" for himself. while he re-
strains his neighbOr from freedom. The
speaker closed with al earnest appeal that
true and not false liberty should prevail,
and that the true freemen bring our coun-
try to a glorious future.

afternoon sermon. taking for his subject
Christ's sermon on the mount. He likened

order that sanitary officers must pay their
fares upon the cars. No notice of the or
der vas sent TO the Board of Health, and
che fact that it had been issued by the
company was not known till yesterday,

company. The old Board OF Health had a
contract with the company to carry the
sanitary officers ut q stated price per an
num-. This contract has expired and has
not been renewed by the new board. The
sanitary officers say unless some provision

to handle the sweet, sticky stuff in
much the same way that crude oil is
treated, storing 1T in big tanks in his
yards until it is needed for shipment,
when it may be pumped into barrels by
a high pressure pump. The molasses
is to be gathered from the various

Reform in Funerals.

The Burial Reform association. to
encourage simplicity in disposing Of
the dead, has been organized in New
York city, by several progressive
clergymen. They are going to advo-
cate radical change and reform based
on public safety and economy. tits to
be the duty OF the clergy TO advocate
the abolition OF the present methods Of
burial and to urge people to use wicker
caskets or papier mache collins in the
future. AS these caskets will not last
long, this form of burial provides an
earth to earth burial as expressed in
the Bible. 1t is claimed, says an east
ern exchange. that the plaques Of Lon
don have been traced directly TO the
defilation Of its underground waters
and the corruptionof itsatmospherc by
putrefying bodies in the great Come
teries near the city. That great
pestilence awaits the city Of New York
in the near future, is the argument OF
those who have enlisted their energies
in the burial reform movement The
new Baskets will facilitate the rapid
decomposition of the human body.
The elements of the earth and air in
the earth mingle with the body shortly
after burial and work out their natural
effect without corruption. The new
movement simply means the use Of
burial outfits that will not retard de-
composition. 1t will prevent bodies
underground from becoming a mass OF
corruption, while at the same time it
will remove menace to health and the
severe drain upon the family purse.
The idea of the burial reformers will
no doubt prove popular one with the
mass of people. The undertakers. Of
course, will furnish considerable oppo-
sition, but, as they are in the minority,
their arguments viii probably prove Of
no avail.

The Massachusetts, tax assessors are

orally report that they have been able
to get hold Of hardly half the wheels

have made even that showing had it
not been for the wheelman's direc.
tories, published before the tax law
was passed. Many of the wheels are
owned by minors, whose property to

task some years ago in the taxation of
hens, of which the Legislature subse-
quently relieved them.
