THE CHILD <

A child at six months is fully capable
of understanding whether no means
no or not, and on this point mother
should be very careful. No child
should be overwhelmed, but by the
time it is year and half old some
very light duties should devolve upon
it. At this age child should be ex-
pected to pick up it's own toys and
to put away its clothes on it's return
from an outing. A low drawer should
be given to the child for it's coat and
other belongings, and upon its return
from an outing the drawer should be
opened for it, and it should be taught
to carefully place its rubbers in a
small box intended for them; its cap
in another box, and it's coat, mittens
and other wraps laid smoothly and
carefully in place. Let the child help
itself as much as possible, and you
will make a self-reliant child of it,
rather than one of those helpless chill
dren that one SO often sees. So with
the toys. When done playing, let the
child pick up each block and put 1t
in its own box.

the Dead

with wheels, that fit to track lead
ing to the retort. The coffin is then
covered or enveloped with a white
cloth that has been saturated in So
luton of alum. This is done to pre-
vent any part of the coffin igniting
while it is being placed in the retort.
The retort door is opened, and the
coffin with the body is then moved
into it by means of the traveller and
table. The table is withdrawn, the
door is closed and frightened SO that
no air can enter the retort or none of
the gases escape. All is done quickly
and in harmony with the solemnity of
the occasion. The process of distil-
lation begins-first the gases of the
wood of the coffin and finally the body.
In about three hours the coffin is re-
duced to charcoal, and the body to
pearly white ashes. When the ashes
are removed from the retort the char
coal is separated from the ashes, and
the ashes are then placed in tenn
porary receptacle until final DISPOSE
ton of the remains are determined on
by the relatives of the deceased.
Many are placed in bronze caskets,
eight inches square, or in terra Gotta
urns and buried in the ground.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

The custom of cremation for the dis
position of the dead is becoming gen
orally recognized in the United States
as is shown by the fact that nearly all
the larger cities in this country have
established crematories. The in
creased number of bodies cremated
yearly is another evidence of the
growing belief that cremation is not
only,the best method of disposing OF
the dead from sanitary standpoint,
but also that it dispels any possibility
OF being buried alive. In Philadel-
phia last year there were 116 crema-
tons. The methods of cremation are
similar to those that are used in plac-
ing a body in vault. The funeral
cortege arrives at the chapel, where
the services are held. The body is
placed on catafalque, which is sur
rounded by an ornamental brass rail-
ing. After the services are completed
the catafalque with the body descends
by means of an elevator to the crem-
atory. Before the coffin has entirely
disappeared from view black pail
is drawn over the railing. After the
body has reached the crematory the
coffin, without disturbing the body, is
placed on light traveller, which rests
on the top of a long carriage or table

The training of child should be-,
gin as soon as it is born. Any mother
knows how soon habit is formed with
her child, and it is just as easy to
form good habit in child as it is to
form a habit that will give every one
trouble and inconvenience If the
nurse gives the child the habit of be-
ing carried by the hour, this habit Will
be SO firmly fixed by the time that the
nurse leaves that father and mother
may spend the next few months walk
irg the floor with the son and heir
in their arms. If, on the contrary the
child is allowed to remain on the bed,
where it is far more comfortable,
good child may reasonably be expect
ed. This is the first habit that is
usually formed. The next habit is
the crying for everything that is
wanted. "A child should not be al
lowed to form this habit, for its own
happiness, as well as for the happi-
ness of all around it. "A child knows
very soon whether father and mother
are to be obeyed, or it is to have
everything that it happens to want

The Pay Of Rulers
Other Lands as Compared

If the salary of the president of the

lousy large. OF course, though, the
president of the United States is in no
sense ruler his Office being purely

nation has debt nearly double ours

poverty stricken Spain receiving sal

fixed for the president was $4,000.
This was by act of congress passed
on Sept. "a, 1889. The salary of the
vice-president at the same time was
fixed at $4,000 year. 1t was not I'M
til 1873 that the salary of the president
was raised to it's present amount of
$4,000. The salary of the vice-presi-
dent was raised to it's present amount
of $4,000 in 1853. Concerning the
