CrematiOns.
Star.

1t is noteworthy that though in each
of the American crematories more men
than women have been cremated the
movement abroad was practically begun
by women, Lady Dixie of England and
a German woman having been Gre
mated at Dresden. When efforts were
made in the years 1884 on the conti-
nent of Europe, in England and in the
United States in favor of the cremation
of the dead, Lady Rose Mary Crawshay
was one of its prominent advocates. A
number of we'll known women in this
country have expressed themselves de-
cidedly in favor of cremation. Among
them are Olive Thorne Miller, Mrs.
Lippincott, Mrs. j. G. Croly, Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, Mrs. Alice d. LIE Plon-
Qeon, the late Kate Field, Rose Eliza
beth Cleveland and Edith Thomas. AT
a public meeting Mrs. Darlington Booth
referred to the time when her body
should be carried to the crematory. The
total number of cremations in the Unit
ed States from 1875, when the first Gre.
matory was established, to the close OF
1895, was reported to be 4,647. The
number of men cremated in New Yorh
is more than double the number OF WON

A Pauper Who Owned Johannesburg.


Few people are aware of the fact that
the site of Johannesburg and large
tract of the surrounding land were once
bought for $3.50. But such was the case,
and the purchaser now lies confirmed
invalid in the workhouse infirmary at
Guildford. The old man seems to have
had most remarkable career, having
been in the service Of the old East India
company, fought in the Crimea, being
seriously wounded at the siege OF vas
topol, and afterward passed thro eh the
Indian mutiny. He then went South
Africa, where he fought against the
Zulus and the Beers. Before the Trans
yaal was made over to the Beers he pur-
chased for $3.50 some 1000 acres OF
land near the source Of the Crocodile,
better known as the Limpopo, where he
made up his mind ultimately to settle.
But war broke out, and he took up arms
against the Beers and formed one OF the
party which held Pretoria. In 1880,
when the republic was declared, he re-
fused to accept service under President
Kruger, the result being that his land,
now estimated to be worth many mil
lions sterling, was forfeited.-West'

An Honest Judge.

Zone os the most honest men who
ever lived was Judge Arthur Shields"
said G. r. Markham of Cheyenne. "He
was on the bench in the early days OF
Kansas, and l was one Of the lawyers
who praoticed in his court Upon one
occasion l was conducting case in
which I had perfect confidence when
the trial began, but before it had pro-
crossed far the evidence against my
clients side of the controversy was so
strong and SO unexpected that ! saw the
case was hopeless. fully believed the
witnesses lied, but could not shake them
by cross examination, and it looked as
though my client would lose his prop
erty. Judge Shields had decided every
question with perfect fairness, and 1t
could not be seen that he was in any
way interested until suddenly he called
to an attorney, Mr.. Black, take the
bench for the rest of this case;' then,
turning to me, he said Have me sworn
as witness. / will not see a man
robbed in this court in matters of which
am personally cognizant. He took the
stand, and his testimony saved the case
for me- The other side appealed, but
the Judge was sustained, the only case
of the kind in the books. w Washington

PEARLS FOUND IN SCOTIA.
One From Aberdeenshire Said to Form
One of the Queens Jewels.

One FROM ADerueensn1re cafu To FORM
One of the Queens Jewels.
One is so much accustomed to associ-
ate pearls with the eastern and gold
with the southwestern countries of the
world that the discovery of pearls in
Scotland and gold in Wales seems some
what opposed to the order of things.
That gold exists in Wales is Of course
quite recent discovery, and the small
and Improbable quantities found have
now resulted in the abandonment of the
mining operations commenced by Rich
ard Morgan.
But the pearls of Scotland have quite
q different history. For centuries pearls
have been found in the river Ythan, in
Aberdeenshire, and only last year an
Aberdeen man made some notable hauls,
which he disposed of to jewelers. of the
northern towns. 1t was recently stated
in London paper that pearl taken
from the river Ythan is believed to
form one of the queens crown jewels.
1t is to be hoped that the belief is well
founded, for in that case it may be
reasonably claimed that the precious
stone in question is the only one con-
tributed by the British islands, a
thought calculated to crafty our ma
tional pride, for Scotland might be
worse represented than by pearl in
the national regalia.
A story is told of an Aberdeenshire
farmer who found very large and
perfect pearl in the shell of mussel
taken from the Ythan. Happening to
visit London some time afterward, he
displayed his treasure to west end
| jeweler, who, struck with the size and
beauty of the gem, asked the price. The
farmer demanded what possibly he re-
garded as big price-viz, e1OO. Now,
this was in the days when Scotland had
her own coinage, and pound (Scots)
was equivalent to Is. Cd, so that The
elO0 he asked would only have repre-
sented eS IS. Sd. English money.
His surprise and delight may be i'm
agined, therefore, when he received
for his pearl e100. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the English jewelei
would have shared these feelings had he
known the exact meaning of the "hun
ner pun" demanded by the owner OF
the pearl. However, he had no occasion
to complain, for he is said to have solo
the gem subsequently at large profit

One of the most eminent of French
physicians, the late Dujardin- Beaumetz.
urged for years before his death that
persons of light or feeble digestion
should not eat raw oysters, because they
contain q chemical which excites fer
me utation as soon as it comes in contact
with the gastric juice. Being an cas-,
carrier of germs, too, the oyster COM
municates very readily any pathogenic
mlcrobe which it may contain to the in
testinal canal, and trouble begins at
once. Recent Investigations curroborate
the opinion of the French scientist and
may lead to the Punishment of the hith-
erto esteemed raw oyster from the list
of convalescent dainties. 1t is already
an established fact that its nutritive
Qualities have been much overrated. -

Poisoned by q Snake In Alcohol.

A surprising experiment demonstrate
ing the lasting qualities of snake poison
was recently made by Professor Maison.
neuve, which showed that dead snake
is almost as dangerous as live one.
The professor took an unusually large
specimen of the common viper of south
ern France, which for more than 20
years had been exhibited in the zoolog-
ival museum at Anglers, France, pre-
served in alcohol. The first experiment.
with one of the poisonous fangs OF this
snake seemed to show that the 20 years
contact with the alcohol had robbed the
poison of its virulence, for sparrow
wounded with one of its teeth did nos
develop any symptoms of being poisoned
The cause of the nonaction of the poison
at first was speedily found, however, Ia
the thickening of the poison at the en-
trance of the canal into the tooth, which
prevented the poison from flowing,
When Professor Maisonneuve extracted
some of the poisonous substance with
fine needle and injected minimal por-
ton of it into the sparrow, the latter
showed all the symptoms OF poisoning
inside of half an hour, which gradual,
| increased until it died in commissions IN
az hours after the injection OF the pol
son. As it was heretofore believed that
snake poison loses its dangerous and
virulent qualities with the death OF the
reptile, great care in handling dead
snakes will be matter of common sense
precautiOn.

Ar Arctic Christmas.

The crew of an arctic explorer had
great pleasure, one Christmas amid the
ice and snow, in teaching the little Es-
kimo children how to observe an Amer
lean Christmas The queer little tots
had never heard of Christmas tree,
and Santa Claus was an unknown per-
sonage. The sailors were desperately
homesick, until one of them. with little
ones of his own, happened to think OF
Christmas tree for the little, chubby Es-
kimos, with their round heads and soft,
dark eyes.
A real, live, green tree was, OF course,
out of the question in that icy region,
10 the men gathered up the bones OF
slaughtered walruses, bears, whales and
other creatures and tied them together
20 that they branched out in every direc-
tion.
When it came to candy, they could
cot get that, either; but instead they
made balls of whale bluSber, or fat, of
which the little fur wrapped Eskimo is
extremely fond, and these queer substi-
tutes for caramels were tied on the
"tree" with colored cord. Bright beads,
shining buttons, some brass headed
tacks and q few other such remarkable
presents were also tied on, and then
bits of lighted candles were stuck all
about, giving quite a festive air to the
| oueerest Christmas tree that was prob
| ably ever seen. But the Eskimo children
enjoyed it to a wonderful degree, and
the homesick sailors grew bright ano
cheerful in giving them such a move
pleasure. New York Tribune.

topic.)
This chapter tells the story of re-
markable revival. 1t twas brought about
under the direction of Hezekiah, the
good king of Israel. who had succeeded
Ahab. the wicked king. The story real.
ly occupies the twenty ninth as we'll as
che thirtieth chapter. 1t places before us
III an interesting and striking manner
the characteristics of a revival i'm relj-
Rion, whether at home or OH mission
fields. Taking in the whole story, we
find these characteristics to be:
l. A consciousness of need. Hezekiah
realized this need. God had been neg
lected. He had been forsaken. The
doors of the temple had been closed, the
lamps put out and neither incense was
burned nor burnt offerings offered. The
consciousness of need is necessary ele-
ment TO a true revival in religion. Men
must be made to feel their need of a
Saviour before they will come to Him
to be saved.
2. Preparatory steps L. The first step
was reformation among the religious
leaders. Hezekiah summoned the priests
and Levites and ordered them to sancti-
fy themselves. A revival must begin
with Gods people in the first place.
This is what revival means-a reviving
Of those who are already Christians.
Awaken the church and the world will
be awakened. Revive the saint and the
sinner will easily and speedily be re-
vived. 2. Obstacles overcome There
will always be apparent obstacles in the
way of revival. The regular time foi
the passover. which was to be used in re-
viving the people, had passed by short
time Many would argue that they
should wait the regular coming of the
time again. But Hezekiah believed tina
now the iron was hot and it was time
to strike. So applying law to the con
gregation which gave individuals TIT
permission to keep the passover in tn,
second month he determined to cele
brate it in the second month. God

coming difficulties if we are sincere AM
in earnest. 3. Invitations were sent out
The king issued decree calling upol
the people to return to God. Some mock
ed it, but others needed it. There viii
always be Knockers and scoffers, but still
the work should be done. Invitation
should be given to all to come to GO
and to the church. Personal solicitation
is very important preparatory step
a revival. People must be brought III
der the influences of the gospel. an
nothing will bring them quicker than
kind personal invitation.

There was earnest prayer The peopl
turned from idols. There was spirite

as his keen sense Of humor, is told in
connection with story of !. Zangwill.

ing this, came to him and said:
"Mr. Zangwill has been writing about
Won in The Pail Mall.
Indeed" said DR.. Nordau, with an
air of great interest.
"He gives a perfect appreciation OF

"Do tell me what he said, said the
author, relaxing into an attitude OF
Measurable anticipation.
"He says you're an idiot. "
