The crematory, which is located along
side Of and to the south Of the railroad,
near the foot Of Madison street and in
which the garbage collected throughout
the city Is burned, is frequently made
the subject Of complaints from residents
in that vicinity who accuse that institu-
tion Of being the breeder Of foul odors,
and scents which are liable to produce
disease This the Board OF Health denies,
and in turn lays the blame on the gas
works, which are near neighbors, and
where experiments are now being made
looking to the manufacture Of a new
kind Of illuminating gas The garbags
is consumed without any odor escaping
as the oredulous ones can easily ascertain

81. Valentine's Day.

On Thursday will occur the anniver-
sary OF St. Valentines Day. and the
gray-eoated letter carriers will be busy
distributing the dainty love tokens sent
by timid lovers, and the So called comic
combinations Of vivid coloring and bad
verse.
Although the day bears the name Of
St. Valentine, that worthy celebrity has
nothing to do with the case According
to history he was Roman priest be-
headed In 270 A. d. by the Emperor
Claudius, and February IA Was appointed
BY the church to be observed in his honor
The present celebration Of the day
springs from q custom which prevailed In
Italy in honor Of Februata Juno and the
feast was known as Lupercalia One Of
the ceremonies consisted in placing In &
box the names Of young girls, which
were afterwards drawn by the young
men. The church took a hand In this
and substituted the names of saints, the
drawer being supposed 70 initiate the
good qualities Of the saint drawn, and as
the hes her rite occurred early in the
month, st. Valentines Day was fixed AZ
the date, and his name became linked
with 1T. He was also chosen ss th,
guardian saint Of lovers as an ole
English writer puts IT, Not because
lovers are more superstitious than Other
people. but because they have morl
Imagination"
Already the stores are filled with tn
tokens symbolleal oi The day. The,
range from the eheaply printed design
in tinsel and color % the dainty com
binstions Of lace and gold, and FROM tn
penny ones 50 dear to ehildrsn'a heart
to those costing hundreds of dollars, an
in whose depths may bs found wells 0
gifts OF value The comic valentin is
modern invention and over twenty fv
million Of these are yearly printed
The barquet recently given Ia Ne
