CREMATION.

The custom of cremation was Ro-
man, but it disappeared with the
Christian era under the influence Of
the belief in the literal resurrection of
the body. Its revival in all countries
is coincident with broader interpre
tation of the teachings of Christianity
and with the development of modern
science. The doctrine Of the conser-
vation Of matter, that the only change
possible is transformation and not de-
struction, bears powerfully in favor
of cremation. The transformation of
the grave is relatively rapid, but both
processes are the same, and, in COM
parison with the duration of the
world both are intolerably- swift.
We are cut down and we wither.
Whether the decay is matter of
hours or of years is merely an incl
dent of the inevitable process.
Those considerations can be felt
best in time of scientific domination
over the intellectual life. The hy-
gienic and sanitary reasons are most
potent in an era of the rapid growth
of large cities. Therefore, it is not
surprising to know that the revival
of cremation, begun about 1880, has
grown rapidly not only in this coun-
try, but in Europe. Here we have
twenty-five crematories. France has
twenty-five. Italy and England have
fewer. The appeal of science is for
the new practice. Religion is not
hostile to it, as is shown by its adop-
ton by an active and devout member
of a great church. But sentiment,
association and the whole mortuary
poetry of the world is opposed to it.
Those are forces which are modified
slowly. They cannot be overcome
by shock, and the attempt would be
brutal as we'll as useless. But the
growth of cremation is accompanying
if not keeping pace with, the growth
of cities. In the next quarter of a
century the custom will have become
general enough to aid in the solution
of the present serious problem of find
ing suitable resting places for the
dead. Brooklyn Eagle.

Look at the ways of the millionaire
Given his million, he gives up his house
and builds himself a small, first class
hotel IN some big city, which for the
greater part of the year is occupied by
servants. He next erects a country
palace ut Lenox or at Newport. This
he calls cottage, though it usually
looks more like a public library or a
hospital or a clubhouse
Then he builds himself a camp, with
stained glass windows, in the Adiron-
dacks and has to float q small railroad
in order to get himself and his wife's
trunks into camp. Shortly after these
follows bungalow modelled after a
French chateau, somewhere In the
south, and then yacht warranted to
cross the ocean in ten days and to pro-
duce seasickness II hours sooner than
the regular ocean steamer becomes one
of the necessities of life.
Result, he never lives anywhere. To
occupy all his residences, camps and
bungalows he has to keep eternally on
the move, and when he thinks he needs
a trip to Europe he has his yacht got
ready and sends it over, going himself
on a fast steamer. oh, it's a terrible
thing to be a millionaire and have no
where to lay ones head, with every
poorer man envying him, many hating
him and hands raised against him ev-
erywhere! - Woman's Home Compan.

thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
