GOVERNOR, NEW HAMPSHIRE
ISSUES A PROCLAMATION.
Says There Is Necessity for a ReFiy-

Home and Less to Foreign

la his proclamation TIE governor
says 's'the decline OF The chris

rural communities, is a marked
feature Of our times, and steps should
be taken to remedy it," He also says
that no matter what our belief may
be il religious matters, every good
ciJizen knows that when the restrain,

drawn from community It's decay

and sure. His comment on the fore

Itappears from what the governor
SAYS there are towns In New ilamp-

their CALI villages where children
grow up to manhood unchristened and
communities where tHe dead are laid
away without the beuIlou If the name
OF The Christ, and where marriages are
sj)emuized only by justices Of the
peace. IN view Of these facts il is not
to be wondered at that he has called
upuu the people to fast and pray for
revival OF religion. And there are
many other communities IN Ghe c0Un-
try where there IS as much need Of
rayers for REVIVAL OF religion as
there Is IN communities in New Hamp~
shire. 1t is undoubtedly true that as
religion declines in Il community the
evidences of moral, mental and tinan,

strong religious sentiment there are
TO be found earnest, virtuous, indus
trious and thrifty people, ana they are
dominant in everything.
1t is evident that There is plenty of
room for home missionary work. 1t is
a question whether it would not be adj
vlsable for the good people of the cOun-
try to give more attention TO home
missions and less TO foreign mis-
sions. IL christian nations should
give more attention TO spreading
the truth of the christian relig on
among their own peoples there would
be, in all probability, less reason for
such addresses as that delivered by
the Chinese minister before the Amer
lean Academy last saturday night, a

in our dispatches Sunday morning.

PICTURE OF GRUESOME PLACE
THE FAMOUS BONE PIT IN COLON
CEMETERY.
Flesh of Dead Bodies Eaten Off with
Lime and Converted Into Fertili-
ger. Bones Then Thrown
Into the Pit.

Mr.. Ed Artope, says the Macon Tel,
egraph, has returned from Tampa,
where had been on business. W lille
ia Tampa he purchased a photograph
of the famous bone pit in Colon ceme-
terry, rear Havana. The picture was
taken by a Florida photographer aud
as it is the last Picture that will ever
be taken Of one OF the most famous
burying grounds on this side Of the
Atlantic, the copies were in great de-
mand
The picture shows great mass Of
hnman skulls and bones piled in a
heap in one corner of the Colon. 1t
is said that the pit contains the skele-
tons of 500, 900 human bodies, piled in
there within the past 200 years On
account of the CHASTITY spectacle and
the fact that such place is not in
keeping with American customs, the
United Statessgovarnment has, within
the past two weeks, had the pit filled
with dirt, and the bones are low cOv-
cred from view.
1t IS SAID that the custom in Cuba is
to rent graves for the space of seven
years, when people are able to afford
the luxury of burial. If, at The end
of seven years, nobody renews the
lease the body is taken up. thrown
INTO quick lime, and whatever Aesh, if
any is left, is eaten up by the lime and
the bones thrown into this pit.
All paupers or poor people who can.
not afford a burial are thrown into
catacomb or something answering
the purpose and treated to a covering
Qf quick lime and Uheir flesh convert.
I'D into commercial fertilizers, which
are sold for general fertiIiziug pur-
poses, and the bleachad bones are chen
thrown into this PIT
Originally this pit, which occupies
a corner in the cemetery, was forty
feet deep. The bones were thrown in
fast enough to have flied it to within
a few feet Of the top, at the time it
was filed This shows that great
many were piled into it, because
the bones thus exposed to the ele.
ments would, themselves, decay in
a few years and their space would
be comparatively nothing. New ones
would be thrown in faster than the
old ones could decay, however.

Spain's Money Ready.

Spain has been notified that this gov
ernment stands ready to pay oyer that
$50, 1000, 600 fund provided for in the
Paris treaty to any person whom Spain
may specify aud furnish with the proper

of Spain. The treasury warrant that
will be used in making the payment will
be precisely similar to those used in

The Beauty OF Flowers.

There is nothing in pictures or in
ornaments to equal the colors of the
commonest garden flowers. They.
battle all reproduction and beggar
all description; they are incompara-
bly, fine and perfect beyond any
thing that human effort can achieve.
All the artists in the world could
not produce anything equal to the
petal of a geranium, and the very
best approaches to nature which
canvas or paper can exhibit are in
evitably dimmed and spoiled by
time. Flowers themselves only re-
tain their brilliant hues while alive
and healthy. So long. therefore,
only is our admiration accorded, for
dead or withered flowers are ugly
and contemplate. Certain gems owe
half their value or utility to that
quality which neither flowers pos
sess nor painters can bestow-the
quality of perpetual freshness.
Flowers serete nectar. They also
possess sanitary advantage con-
nected with the absorption Of car
bonio acid gas from the air. Put
ting all these items together, they
constitute a very small yet decided
aggregate Of utility, and flowers
notwithstanding. it viii be admit.
ted Oh all hands, serve to sustain q
very large amount Of beauty
