MY GIRL.

She cannot play the organ. piano or the
like,
She never wore the bioomers and she
doesn't ride the bike;
In dress she's not as stylish as some others
that you see,
But still she's just the sweetest girl in all
the world to me.
You may not think her witty, you cannot
call her smart,
She never heard of Trilby and knows moth
ing of Delsarte;
She doesn't seem well posted in the new
made woman's ways,
And never talks CT football or the great
athletic craze.
Sometimes she helps her mother, but now
must confess,
When she tries her hand ut baking she
makes an awful mess.
Her cake is never eaten, and, no matter
how she tries
There's no one seems to care about the
flavor of her pies.
And yet, somehow, she's managed her
image to enshrnc,
To creep into and Irvine herself around this
heart of mine,
Until think without her how lonely life
would be-
This world would lose its brightness and
leave but misery.
Her age-that's secret that girls do not
confess,
They always seem inclined to make it just
little less;
But she's sweet exception unto the rules
that be,
If you ask she'll proudly answer thus:
Use dust edzatly tree"
Use dust edzatly tree"

CEMENTATION.
New Method Now Being Used for
Burying the Dead.
Those Who Object to Cremation and
Dislike the Ordinary Method of
Burial May Give 1t Their ~
Approval.

Cremation has made its way steadily,
notwithstanding the opposition it re-
ceived at first. There are, however.
many who still oppose this method, and
to meet their objections a process
known as concentration has been adopt
ed. The most conspicuous apostle of
cementation is Judge Theodore G. HUI
lett. of Niagara Falls, n. Y. Through
his efforts it has been the prevailing
mode of burial at Oakwood cemetery,
near Niagara Falls. The first body
cemented there was his daughter; tho
next body another of his daughters.
Since that time about 60 bodies have
been buried in cement.
There are two processes of cementa-
tion-one by Embedding the coffin in
cement, the other by pouring the
cement around the nude body. When
the first method is used it is necessary.
to prepare the body with antiseptics,
in order to preserve it thoroughly. This
method is the one commonly used at
the cemetery. The other method is the
one which Judge Hulett has prescribed
by will and shall be used in his own
case. 1t preserves perfect cast of the
body.
The cementing Of q grave as prac-
ticed at lakewood cemetery is described
by Judge Hulett as follows: The grave
IS made of the usual depth, and IL
inches larger than the rough box that's
to contain the coffin. A concrete NOR
tar is then prepared of fresh water.
lime, cement, sand and fine, broken
stone, the proportions of which are
one part cement to three of sand and
broken stone.
Ibis mixture is put in the bottom Of
the excavation to the thickness of about
eight inches; the rough box is laid upon
lhls cement so as to leave d space of
about eight inches on all sides between
the earth and the box. The concrete is
poured into the space around the box.
1t is well stirred with wooden point.
SO as to make it of an even consistency.
Inns part Of the work may be done tho
day before the burial.
After the coffin has been lowered into
the box lid is screwed on to the lat
ter, and then coat of cement eight
inches thick is laid on the lid. Care
must be taken that this cement unitcs
perfectly with that surrounding TIL.
sides of the box.
When the top coat of cement is
hardened the name of the deceased and
any other words may be carved on it.
These will Last almost forever.
In the other method of concentration,
which Judge Hulet considers prefer
able, the body is laid nude in a rough
box. 1t is supported by a number OF
unburned bricks. Cement is then
poured in until it completely surrounds
the body and fills the box. When it is
hardened the Inscription is made on the
top and the lid is screwed on. All this
work may be done by the undertaken,
who will have the cody completely ce-
mented for the funeral ceremony.

the attention OIL the visitor even from
a distance. Their exterior alone de-
pets the history of centuries, showing
1he succeeding eiooehs of the Hungarian
builders art from the time ofSt. Stephen
10 the modern age. One may see here
represented in most faithful imitation
the church and monastery Of the time
OF The 4Arpads, the medieval castle of
Naida- Hupyad, the renaissance STYLE of
the last two centuries and the remnants
OF buildings showing remarkable STYLES
OF transition and ornament, such as the
tower OF Schassburg, the chapel Of
Gsotortolihely, the city hall of Bartfeld,
the castles of Fries and Tolloly, etc.
Each of these piles is represented by
its most interesting motif. The re.
naissance court is ornamented with
magnificent statues, each representing
{. symbol or an idea.
The most Important object OF this
retrospective group will be exhibited
by his majesty Francis Joseph l., who
has promised all of his rich collections
relating to Hungary. Highly interest,"
ing objects have been loaned to this
group !N the sultan OF Turkey, by AUS

churches OF the country, by the ancient
aristocratic families, and by the collec-
tons and "rchives of all Hungarian
communities possessing such.
The ethnographical exposition will
have for its center of attraction awhole

house OF which represents u specific

of this strangely-populated country,
will furnish fine opportunity for the
study Of costumes, modes of life, and

per and OF silver.


Aluminium has been somewhat disappolnt-
ing In its application TO practical uses. but
nevertheless the demand for IL In the form
OF household utensils. toilet conveniences,
cutlery and the like. Is increasing. Ono
thing that has perhaps retarded the USE OF
aluminium is the fact that the price OF
that metal and the price OF silver has fall
len together so that small articles In solid
silver are not much more expensive than
such articles In aluminium, while silver Ia
certainly much the more beautiful metal
OF the two. The attempt has been made
10 make articles In aluminium as cheap as
possible and beauty OF workmanship is
sacrificed 10 tfls object. The dead finish
OF aluminium Is especially uuattractve be-

Meanwhile the manufacturers have gons

into which aluminium Is made. until now
there are scores OF such articles. Some
excellent spoons and forks are imported

The shadows OF the fruited close
Dapple the east-hail floor;
There lie our dogs ard dream and doze.
And we return no more.

Fall the soft chimes of yore
Amidst the chattering jackdaws plays
And We return no more.
But underneath the streets are stIil:
