ADVOCATES SURFACE BURIAL.

Sir r. Seymour Haden Says q Slight Earth
Covering Soonest Absorbs Bodies.
Sir +. Seymour Haden of London has
practically studied for ten years the best
methods of disposing of the dead. The
result of his Investigations he terms
Natures method of disposing OF the
dead, by far the most practical and GER
tainly the natural method.
He has buried animals, large and
small, in his lawn. By digging them
up and examining them at intervals
varying from one to five years he found
that, buried at a depth Of a q feet-the
depth required by the government for
the burial of human bodies-an interval
of from three to four years was neces-
sary for complete dissolution. Buried at
the depth of one foot, year and half
he found was sufficient for the complete
dissolution of large and year or less
for the smaller animals A body simply
laid upon the ground, with covering
of earth foot thick completely disap'
peared Clones excepted) in year.
DR.. A. b. Poore, after experiment,
states that if body is buried so as tc
further its complete dissolution the land
would be ready. after a short interval,
to receive a second body, and that if the
cemetery were Systematically planted
| with flowers the earth would be puri
| fed and the air freshened by the flour
ishing vegetation.
An acre of ground would prove am
pie burial ground in perpetuity for
| population of 10000 persons. New

AMERICANlZED CHlNAMEN.
How Yankee Sign Painters Sophisticate
Oriental Names.

Oriental Names.
1t is rather amusing to note the Curl
GUS DISCUSSES under which Chinese names
appear on the laundry signboards so
thickly scattered through our cities. 1t
is the natural result of the Chinaman's
imperfect acquaintance with English
and the sign painters absolute ignorance
of Chinese.
For instance, John goes to the painter
and explains - Want paint washee
washee.
Cali right. What's your manner" asks
the painter.
Name Cha Lii Ling" replies the
oriental, and down it goes on the sign.
Charlie Ling "
1t is surprising the number of these
Charles who wear pigtails, but it al
ways come to pass in the way just indi-
cateds
One sign painter did still better. The
applicant gave his name as Cha Ku Ii.
This in due time appeared on a square
red board as follows: "Chas. @. Lee,
First Glass Chinese Laundry.
1t is often alleged that the Chinese
never become truly American, but here
was Chinaman pretty thoroughly
Americanized, one would fancy. 1t was
from the bumptious sign painter, how
ever, that he got his naturalization pa
pers Boston Post.

A DREAM DREAMED OVER.

The music was throbbing and pulsing;
The flowers. and the palms, and the light
In smooth, waxed floors were reflected
That glorious gala night.
With the fragrance of roses about her,
In her dainty. pure white gown,
she was, as he whispered TO her,
"The prettiest girl in town"
She smiled and flushed and denied IL.
AS pretty girl must do,
But by her hearts deep contentment
She knew that he thought IL true,
And they danced to the thrilling music
Oh. life was rapture theni-
When she was the prettiest girl in town.
And he was the first Of meni
They parted with anguished sorrow;
Time cleared the clouded sky.
But at last nights ball she lived again
in the charmed days gone by.
His son and her daughter were dancing.
The girl In pure white gown,
And she heard him say as they paved her.
"You're the prettiest girl in town."

scoLDlNe WOMEN.
Formerly Greater Pest In England Than
~ the Present Day.

Formerly Greater Pest In England Than
~ the Present Day.
Formerly the common scold''-the
woman who made her neighbors' lives
htolerable with her raging temper, her
bitter tongue her ISLANDERS and calum.
uies-was found everywhere. Laws
were passed recognizing her as one kind
OF criminal There were two forms OF
punishment by which she was repressed
or deferred or cowed into gentleness-
viz, the cucking stool and the Drank.
The cucking stool assumed various
shapes, but it generally consisted of q
chair on one end of beam, which rested
on bar so as to make seesaw. Some
times the chair was hung from the beam
by chain. The culprit being tied on
the chair, the other end of the beam
went up and the chair went down into
the water, sousing the woman COM
pletely. They did this three times, after
which they let her go.
Such stools belonged to nearly every
parish. Like the stocks and the pillory,
they formed part of the furniture Of JUS
tice. For instance, about London, there
was one on Bankside with which they
ducked the wives of the players There
was one at Radcliffe, one at Kingston
| on-Thames, and there was one which
| stood till the beginning Of this century
beside the great pond or reservoir of TIE
! Green park.
Apparently the chair and the cold
bath did not completely destroy the fe-
male tendency to scold, for it was found
necessary to invent another punishment
which was extensively adopted, although
not authorized by the law. This was
the "brank, " or "scold's Bride" which
consisted of small cage formed by iron
hoops to fit the head with "a piece of
iron which pressed the tongue and
formed the gag. Thus adorned, the scold
was either led or carried about the town
for all the world to see. Sometimes she
was placed on high scaffold. The
Drank was used in some places down tc
the beginning Of the century. Its disuse,
its disappearance make one incline tC
the belief that the scold has also disap
peared. However, such is not the case.
The disease or infirmity of scolding still
exists, but in much milder form. The
mildness Of the modern form is mainly
due to the improved conditions Of life
Two hundred years ago the village
household was insufficiently fed; thu
quality as we'll as the quantity of TIN
food was bad; work was hard; men wer
rough husbands beat their wives habit
ually; in cold weather they were thinl,,
clad; in hot weather their clothes wer
too thick. If there was any indulgenc
possible, it took the form of beer. TIE
did not exist. Children, hungry an
cold, cried all day and all night; every
thing combined to exasperate woman
; What wonder if, from time to time, sh
lost control of herself and became cop
ously eloquent over her wrongs? Thing
have greatly improved. The husband II
longer-or very seldom-beats his wife
the food has become cheap; wages hav
gone up; luxuries, formerly unattair
able, have become necessaries; the scol
is dying out of the land because thel
is so little left to scold about.

Connecficuf,a Nicknames.

Connecticut enjoys the proud distinc-
ton of having three sobriquets. 1t has
been called the "Land of Steady Hab-
it's" from the sobriety and gravity OF
its people; the "Freestone State" from
the enormous quarries Of that descrip-
ton of stone, and the Nutmeg State, "
from the tradition prevalent in sur
rounding communities over 100 years
ago that the chief industry OF its inhab-
itants was the manufacture Of nutmegs
of wood, to be passed of as genuine ON
unsuspecting purchasers.

The old idea that vines growing on O

some of the best authorities, who con-
tend that just an opposite effect is pro-
ouced, as the vine draws out all the
moisture IL can for food. This is said to
