A FORTUNE IN
OLD QUILTS

In Georgia mother and daughter
have earned enough money by the
making of old fashioned quilts to pay

stock 1t with the best blooded animals

The-1,ather had received among her
wedding presents forty years ago near
ly half a hundred beautifully made
quilts. Only small number had ever
been used, and when the rainy day
came these wedding presents were as
good as the day when they had first
Cen stored away in the various cedar
Chests of the garret.
AT loss to know how they were to
earn money for their daily bread the
mother at last thought of the quilts.

neighbors might be willing to buy
them at reduced prices she took them
from their hiding places and suggested

Her invitation was accepted that

The recent sale of Craig-y-Nos, Ade-

public notice. 1t is some years since
her marvellous voice was last heard in
public and 1t is doubtful il she will
ever again thrill great audiences by her

tory as the century's greatest singer.

She came here as an infant and at 16,
having given evidence of phenomenal
voice, appeared in opera in New York.
The next year she sang in London, at
the Royal Italian Opera. Her debut
was great success. From that hour
her tours were one constant ovation,
her name sought out the furthermost
corners of the earth. and the magic
with which her sudden favor had in
vested it blazed honor and homage
along her way.

however. there is less worthy of con-
troversy. 1t is largely a matter of
sentiment whether a body be burned
or inferred in a hole in the ground.
The mere fact that the Scriptures con-
tain no record of incineration is
fiimsy excuse for opposing the prac-
tice. AS well hold that because the
body of Christ was laid in a tomb the
remains of his apostles and of the gem
erations following should likewise
have been entombed. Indeed it may
be suggested here that had the remains
of the Savior been committed to
earth. as other bodies have been, the
world would have fewer doubters than
it has. The Scriptures record earth
burials for the reason that intelligent
cremation was not known at the time.

For few days in each year and al

South Sea people have treat in the

tory of the fish is obscure. 1t seems

taken many have the yelk sac still at

known of it is when schools appear in

mouths at all seasons of the tide seem

At the Present Time About 1000 Bodies

to Cremation.

The question of disposing of the
bodies of the dead by cremation is an
interesting one, and it is not surpris-
ing that insurance societies and re-
ligious associations are giving 1t their
attention, says the San Francisco Bull
letin 1t will probably startle the aver
age reade, TO learn that at the present
time about 1000 bodies are annuity
cremated in the principal cities OF the
United States. and according to data
recently published for the years 1876
1898 there were cremated during this
period 1855 bodies in the various cities
of this country. While there were but
100 cremations during the year 1888,
ten years later, that is during 1888, the
number had reached 1859. Since then
then there has been a further increase,
but the complete returns for the past
year are not yet available. This In
crease has probably been contributed
to by San Francisco in quite as large
a percentage as any of the other large
cities, for inquiries at the health Of
