 The strange mixture of the modern and medieval which served to render the character of the late Marquis of Butte so interesting during his lifetime. was oddly demonstrated even after his death in connection with his testament tary dispositions. For whi!, on th4 on.. hand he directed that his heart should be removed from his body. and shou1d be conveyed to the holy land for inter- ment on the Mount of OHves-a me5f- eval notion, if there ever was one-on the other hand he exacted that his body should be cremated in Scotland. desire that created the utmost amaZement on the part of those who were aware of his profound devotion to the Roman Catholic church. and tbe latter's prohibition of this mode of dis posal of human remains. Had his instructions been complied with and his body cremated in the usual mira modern manner, it would have been impossible for the Roman Catholic church to accord to him it's customary funeral rites. which, it may possibly be remembered were withheld in the case of Anton Seidl, when he died in New York, because he had insisted on his body being cremated after death.
 At the same time the family and the executors of Lord Bute felt that they were both morally and legally obliged O comply with the testementarv in structions of the marquis. So. by way of compromise, the coffin contain ing his remains was filled with quick lime this being regarded as the nearest oanonical short cut to the fulfillment of his instructions.
 It is only since 1886 that cremation has been prohibited by the Roman Catholic church, save in very rare ex- captions. and among the principal reasons which prompted Leo XIII, the mostbroad minded and liberal pontiff who has ever occupied the chair of St Peter. to take this step, was, first of all, the fact that incinaration has been adoped by the atheists and Free Mas ons of continental Europe, as a feature of their funeral rights for the special purpose of giving a public expression of their disbelief in the doctrine of the resurrection, or in the fife hereafter
 The pope likewise took the ground that the ordinary form of interment has been, so to speak, consecrated by usage ever slnce the foundation of the Christian faith; that it has been ac- cepted from time immemorial as form ing part and parcel of the religious ceremony of the latter, and that the old-fashioned form of Christian burial may be said to have become one of the
 
 the church, and a consolation alike to the dying and the bereaved. The only eases in which incineration is allowed by the Catholic church is where, owing to infectious malady, the destruction of the body by means of fire is rendered polite.
 1 may add that there are a number of Protestant denominations, including the Lutheran state churches of Den mark, Sweden, Prussia and Wurtem- berg. who economically prohibit crema- tion, while the Episcopal churches in America and in England content themselves with a species of mild dis approval.
 The trial of the directors. managers and other officials of the old Dumbeil Bank in the Isle of Man on charges of fraud, forgery and other offenses of a kindred character which have been responsible for the downfall of this an- cient institution, serves to call atten- tiOn to the danger of selling one $ name There are few more honored names in the Isle of Man than that of Dumbell. the bearers of which have for several hundred years occupied positions of great dignity and popular trust in con- nection with the government of the island.
