WANT TO BE cREMATED.
Peculiar Request Made by Many Amer
leans Abroad.

%~"~sN'
Speaking of the numerous deaths
abroad of Americans and the difficulties
often encountered in getting remains
transported across the ocean, owing to
the superstition of sailors, many of
whom would not sail on vessel which
they knew to have body on board, a
prominent Milwaukeean who crosses
the ocean about once year states that
a large majority of leading Americans
carry about their persons written re-
quests that their bodies be cremated
in case of death while in foreign land.
There are several reasons for this
added the traveller. zone great reason
is that the laws of most foreign coun-
tries do not permit of cremation unless
there exists a written request of the
person whose body is to be disposed of
in that way. Less than year ago the
daughter of n gentleman from Wiscon-
sin died while travelling in Europe with
her parents. Notwithstanding the fact
that personally she preferred crema-
ton, and her parents desired to carry
the idea out, it could not be done there
because they could not produce a writ
ten request signed by the daughter stat
| ing that such was her wish. Under
these circumstances the remains were
brought back to this state.

foreign lands who prefer cremation

A PESSIMlSTIC GROCER.

Why One Storekeeper Believes in Human
Natures Total Depravity.
81 firmly believe in the total deprav-
ity of human nature" remarked an
east side groceryman to one of his Gus
toners
"Well, don't agree with YOU" was
the response. "Why are you so out OF
sorts with all the world?"
Nothing more nor less than this, I"
replied the irate man, ''for the past two
weeks the egg box has been robbed
and we couldn't find out who did it.
This morning young hopeful of five
came in with an order from his moth

close watch on the youngster. In

three eggs into his pocket. / came

Unscrupulous Men Make Money by Sweat
Ing Gold Coin.

Unscrupulous Men Make Money by Sweat
ing Gold Coin.
II has long been known that the
most desperate counterfeiting gangs
in America have for years flourished
and grown rich out of their unla wful
vocation in the mountain Businesses of
the Pacific coast and it came to light
a few days ago that a gigantic scheme
for defrauding the government by
sweating" gold coins has fiourished
without interruption in San Francisco
for nearly seven years.
These. revelations came to light by
the recent conviction of Davis C.
Burke, learned old man, who, with
his wife, has continuously conducted
an ingenious laboratory at his humble
home in tenement quarter of the
city. The aged criminal had just been
sent to prison for eighteen months for
his crime. His method of operating
was adroit and successful 1t is esti-
mated that he made many thousands
of dollars out of his secret operation,
during which he extracted about per
cent. of the value of every gold coin
that passed through the laboratory, II
is also probable that he handled about
$500 worth of gold coin daily.
When secret service agents raided
his place they found several large bot.
ties filed with fine gold which had
been taken from the coins by what is
known as the cyanide-electro process
a solution of the proper strength OF
cyanide of potassium with the electric
current carefully adjusted. Burke
was cunning enough to know just how
to time the bathing of the coins, and
as result he extracted about twenty
grains of gold from each $50 piece and
gold in the same ratio from smaller
coins. The gold thus freed by the pro-
cess passed through the solution and
attached itself to the positive pole OF
the battery, clinging there SO that il
could readily be scraped off into bot.
tie and afterward treated by the ordi
nary smelling process and run into
fine bars. So subtle was the process
by which he sweated the coins that
no human eye could detect any diff
ference between the appearance
of the spurious and the genuine,
and it was only by placing the
sweated pieces on delicate scales at
the sub-treasury that the shortage was
detected. To restore the gold to its
original color the criminal chemist
overcame the reddish appearance
made by the chemicals by polishing
the pieces with a five revolving brush,
treated with the finest emery -four. II
has been discovered that Burke and
his wife have during the past six
years, sold many thousands of dollars
worth of gold in the form of fine bars
to local smelling companies. They
were also cunning enough to add a
small per centage of base metal-such
as copper or lead-to every run" sc
as not to excite the suspicious of the
companies they dealt with by reason
of the unusal fineness of the material
offered for sale. IN. Y. World.

Peculiar Complaining of an Irritable Hus-
band-His Wife's Patience.
Mrs. Savage was a woman greatly
liked and respected in the neighborhood
in which she lived, and her even dis
position was often praised by her neigh
bors, who were apt to be rather plain
spoken in regard to her husbands irri-
table temper. II don't see how it is,
Aunt Temperance, that you are always
so quiet when Uncle Ichabod begins to
fret about useless things. You never
say word" remarked her niece, who
had been staying at the farmhouse for
several weeks and had heard Ichabod's
frequent complainings.
Mrs. Savage smiled placidly as she
answered.:
'I'm most afeerd, Miranda, that you
haven't paid strict attention to what
your uncle was saying at the times
you men ton, because, if you had,
you'd "a seen that he don't need any
body to reply to him; he reasons with
himself, SO to speak, and presents my
views sight better than could. You
just give attention the next time you
near MN d-oiopuIihb anu you ~ oCo
that I've no occasion to disturb my
self"
The opportunity for listening to Mr..
Savage was soon given.
"'Taint no place to put chair out
on that back stoop," began Uncle
Ichabod.
''But it's kind of pleasant place to
Sit" he went on, in a milder tone; and
then, raising his voice:
II don't care il tbs; the chair'll be
spoiled: it'll be left out in all kinds of
weather, and won't have it here"
Then, with just suggestion of a
pause, his voice fell again and he con-
tinued:
"A wooden chair don't spoil very
easy, and that's one of the kitchen
chairs that never was painted"
Never was painted!' he repeated in
louder tone. tThere tits! Just be-
cause anything amt fixed up to kill
faint any use" and he lifted the
chair and moved it to the other side of
the stoop
"Perhaps if it's over this side it will
be more sheltered" came his milder
tones, and then:
..All the talking do don't do speck
of good-not speck. Knight just as
well never say a word" and, sitting
down in the offending chair, Uncle
Ichabod began tanning himself with
his big straw hat, while Miranda and
her aunt exchanged glances of under
standing. Companion.

The colonel suggested that take
along package of quinine in my ride
through the swamp country, as the
towns were far apart and the drug be-
yond the reach of many settlers. At

a cabin to find the owner and his wife
and three children sitting out in the
sun. All had blue lips and haggard
faces, and all were shivering with a
chill / told the man that would
leave him quinine, and was about to
undo the package when he stopped me
with gesture and said:
