An urgent Kentucky suitor, finding
his addresses rejected, demanded the
return Of his letters. His peremptory
command not being at once complied
with, he sent second and third. The
young woman in the case took her own
time and revenge. She expressed the
missives and put a valuation Of $500 on
them. The excited and discounted
swain had to pay $3.50 express charges.

Chinese visiting Card. !. 600 Years Ag,


The Chinese, who seem to have known
most of our new ideas, used visiting
cards 1 900 years ago, but their cards
were very large, and not really the pro-
totypes of our visiting cards, as they
were on soft paper and tied with rib
bon. Venice seems to have been the
first city in Europe to use cards. Some
dating from the latter part of the six
teenth century are preserved in a mu-
scum there. The German cities fol-
lowed the Venetian custom in 100 years
or SO, then London followed suit-ac-
tuaIly followed suit, for the first visit
ing cards in Great Biitain were play
ing cards, or parts Of such cards, bear
ing the name OF the bestower on the
back. They were first used in England
about 1900. We do not know when they
were first used in this country, probably
not long after their first introduction
into British society. st. Louis Globe

A Postman7s First Attempt.

A route is given to you. and just
about this time it begins to dawn upon
you that perhaps you could not cover
the route in half the time the regular
man did, and before you got half block
away You got mixed up because you
couldn't work your papers in with your
letters, to say nothing of several small
packages in your bag. You found your
self chasing up and down the street,
and in order to make up the time you
were losing you began to plunge, and
the more you plunged the more you got
mixed up and the hotter you got, and
once, when you stood still looking for a
number, little boy asked you whom
You were looking for. Dreadful, WASH t
it?
And when you got back an hour or SO
behind the regular mans time you
were sure it was the heaviest route in
the Office, and you felt like fainting
when you were told that it was the
easiest. And owing to your inability to
make time you had to double up with
your partner, SO that you worked all
day long, from before sunrise until long
after sunset. You got no lunch except a
few mouthfuls you grabbed in passing
from a free lunch counter, and when
you got home you were SO tired, SO hun
cry and SO disgusted with your first
day at the business that you would have
resigned forthwith, but, ayel there was
the ruh-Pnsfal Record

Mexico, the land of Montezuma,

hall. and there the casket rests while the
celebrant stands behind IL and the mourn
ers gather before II. With the strange wall
inches and decked with scores of urns and
vases of metal and marble, and with the
organ pealing. the scene is as impressive
as that at any funeral OF any sort that we
know.
If the last religious or other ceremony
has. been obser, en- in the city. the hearse
is driven to the crematory and there the
body is taken out of the casket. Emphasis
Is laid upon the Importance OF the fact that
corpse adds still another safeguard against
burial before death. A cradle OF Swedish
horseshoe iron. capable of outstanding in
the body Is taken out. Sheets Of linen, sat-
urated with a solution of alum are laid on
the cradle, and when the body Is put upon
these sheets they are brought over II SO
as to envelop and swaddle IL almost as IL
it were a m castings, and a mummy
is what it iooks like after that. Even the
head is wrapped up, so that no part OF the
corpse is exposed.
This cradle is then lifted upon a catfalque.

burden, is wheeled into the furnace ROOM
The top of the catfalque Is on a line with
the doors of the retorts, and ii Is run up to

which is heated first dark red, then brick
red. and then orange yellow, to a tempera,
who are present are at liberty to look
through the eyelet holes in the Furnaces
door Wnlle the incarceration goes on but II
is little they see. The first part of the body
to succumb to the great heat is the abdo-
men. Spectators see the. middle of the
mummy sink in: that is all. After a time
nothing remains in the broad, clean oven
but a few pounds OF white ashes Of that
which was so short a time before a human
being.
The urns for the ashes cost as much or as
little as the customer cares TO pay for them.
Some are Of imported marble and some are
of bronze. Upon those nrns the ricn may may
the names of the dead carved upon the
urns, and. indeed, they order put upon them
what dates, and facts, and sentiments they
choose TO pay for. The little black boxes
which are described above are the ons
in which the company delivers the ashes
at no extra cost above the fee for crema-
ton. Sometimes no other urns are used,
as in cases where the ashes are buried.
The cost of the coffin that first harbors the
dead is trifing. because 1t is a rule that X
must be thrown away. No coffin carried
to a crematory can be taken away from
there. Those that are purchased are there
fore very cheap, as a rule. In some cases
the purchasers of these boxes insist upon
seeing them broken up, and this demand Is
always complied with, though II they leave
it to the employees it will be dealt with In
the same way.

How the New System of DtspOsing OF
the Dead Is Managed.

NEW 1OTh sui.
There is a chance for a fair feminine nov
elist to found a romance on cremation in
these days, and she can make the culmi-
mating scene in a crematory as grand and
beautiful as she likes without overstepping
the law of probability. over at Fresh Pond
In these days the simple little brick fur
mace of old has grown into a temple-a two
story temple, with the wall all decorated
with Roman inches for the ashes of the
dead, and with a grand organ ready to we'll
out RossinPs "Stabat, Mater" or Der
Gesang der Geist ueDer daS WasSer,'' by
Wagner, IL the mourners wish 1t. Every
Sunday afternoon there is an organ recital
nice people gather and listen to it, bringing
flowers, sometimes, to heap on the little
urns full OF ashes that stand about in the
inches.
Sometimes there will be q funeral during
the afternoon, and then the organ recital
changes into a part of the last rites over
the body that is soon to be Moderated in a
large, cleanly furnace room back of the
beautiful hall, where the visitors may peep
through the holes in the door OF the Tsto7.
and admire the perfection that has been
reached in the art of sending dust and
