cauhg liberal spirit in the matter Thus In
cases where owing to infectious maIady the de-
structon or the body by means Of FIRE Is rem
dcrcd desirable there is no objection to priests
according the last rites to the dead or cell
epratng public mass for the rcpose Of the
soul. The same exception Is made In the case Of
those who have persisted In any connagration,
and the Catholic Church. for instance, would
never have dreamed OF Withholding any Of its
ceremonies from those whose lives were sacri-
need and bodies annihilatcd at the time Of the
burning OF the charity bazaar at Paris
about n year ago. With regard to those
whose bodies have been crcmated without
their antemortem consent. the Church au-
thorizes full religious rites with the pro-
VISION. however that whereas, in the case
OF children. the mass may be public. the celcbra-
ton must be private where adults are concerned.
The Catholic Church makes no objection TO it's
members accepting employment In connection
with crcmatoriums as medical advisers officials
and as ordinary workmen nor has ybody ever
been deprived Of the sacraments on this account.
1t Is only since lSSG that cremation has been
officially discountcnanccd by the Catholic
Church save in the case of the exceptions emu
meratod. Among the principal reasons which
prompted Leo NH TO take this step the
fact that incarceration had been adopted by
the atheist Free Masons OF Continental Europe
as feature Of their funeral rites. for the pur
pose OF giving public expression To their dis
belief in the doctrine Of the resurrection or the
life hereafter: in the second place there
is no doubt that cremation tends to diminuton
Of the tokens OF respect for the dead which con-
stitute so beautiful "A feature of most Of the
recognized religions.

Netherlands, the pretty little girl who is to be crowned in September says cor respondent. She personifies life's delightful morn, as it never was before upon throne. Wilhemmina seems rich in that joy of life, which constantly eluded her two brothers. She promises to carry her scepter as she might bear rose. Hsr carriage is singularly free and gives the impression of growth still going on. She is well formed, has well shaped features, a complexion that would beautify any face. fine blue eyes and golden hair that forms a nimbus round her head. One can see she is sensitive and impressionable. But the placid conditions of life in the Netherlands have not weighed upon her. Great care was taken to develop bodily strength. She skates as only a Dutch girl can. is an ac- compished equestrian, plays lawn tennis, and is up to all the athletic accomplish ments of the girl of the period, save cycling The line was drawn at the bike, which was thought undignified ana danger ous. One can hardly suppose she would adopt 1t after her coronation as sovereign. This ceremony will come off early in Sep tember and the most worthy regent will step from before the young queen to her side. Wilhemmina, in spite of her light green silk dress-so provincial in US gen eral air-looked captivating as she stepped the other morning from the railway train that brought her to Paris. That event took place at o'clock She was rosy as the dawn and with no rude flush. Her yivacious expression contrasted striklngly with the placid faces behind her and be- fore her on the platform Nothing could he more eirlish and less miss-ish than her hearing. The absence of pose was very charming. Any other girl of IS must have been at fearful disadvantage in that green dress, tipped Qined) with ermine, and green capote bonnet made up into a point, with a white aigrette on the summ '. k1.fw. of hA nf the young face expressed so much spirit, beauty. happiness and health.

Many things relating to his early and mature manhood have been written of General Lee, but very meagre accounts have been given of his mother, who was one of the beauties and belles of Virginia previous to her mar riage. She was the daughter of General and Mrs. John Mason of Virginia, and was not only the fortunate possessor of large wealth, but traced her lineage back through long and honorable lines according to the most approved Virginia fashion.
