RETURNING TO INcIrERATroN.
The Disposition of Human Dead by
Cremation HecomtEg General "A
CivdlfEed Countries.

Recent statistics show that there
is q constant and growing tendency
60 return to the custom of cremation,
that prevailed throughout the civil
lied world before the Christian era,
excepting among the Egyptians, Chi
nese and Hebrews. The disposition
Of the human dead by incineration
has been meeting with more and
more favor, that has in no wise been
retarded since the first cremation So
ciety was formed, in London, in 1874.
That same year q crematory was
erected In Milan, and two years
afterwards one was built in Lodi,
italy. In two years more there was
one In Gotha, Germany, and after
wards they began 10 appear in all
lands. The first one In this country
was erected in Washington. Pa, in
1883. ard the one in Fresh Pond, L.
l., came two years afterwards. In
this latter eight bodies were cremat-
ed the first year and 70 in the sec
ond year. In 1900 the total had
passed the 600 mark, and during the
last year II reached 654. There are
now 20 crematories In the United
States. In the year that New Yorlk's
first crematory was opened only 40
bodies we're cremated In the entire
country. while last year the number
was 2,6ss.

the Reigning Monarch Of
che spaniardm.

The king of Spain comes Of an an.
cient family, that Of Bourbon. It IL
traced back 10 Robert the Strong, who
died fighting the NormanS in 500. The
direct ancestry Of the Spanish house,
Beurbon-Anjou. is considerably young
er, having at its head Louis XIV.
king Of France, who was born Sep
tember s, 1888. The immediate ances-
try Of King Alfonso dates back to
Ferdinand, prince OF Austria, born
October IA, 1854. lie married IN 1901,
Princess Antoinette Theresa, daugh-
ter Of Ferdinand, king Of Sicily.
who died shortly after the marriage.
A second marriage was contemplated
with the eldest daughter of Lucien
Bonaparte, but this so enraged the
Spanish people that the king had to
abdicate, May s, 1908, says the Wash
ington Times. He resumed the Spanish
throne again in March, 1914, and then
married Maria Isabella, daughter OF
King John VI, OF Portugal, who died
four years later. Ferdinand's third
wife was Josepha, daughter of Prince
Macmillan, Of Saxony, who also died.
and fourth wife was Marie Christine,
daughter Of King Francis l., OF Sicily,
who became the mother of former
Queen Isabella II. Since then the an
cestry Of King Alfonso is OF sufficient
modern date TO preclude repetition.

BEGINNING OF OSTRICH FARMS
Domestication of the Great birds
Was First Undertaken by Cape
Colony Farmers.

Fifty years ago, the domestication
OF the ostrich was an idea secuted by
most Of the biologists who had given
time and thought 70 the subject. The
young, Il was believed, could not be
raised in state Of captivity. The
great demand for ostrich feathers
was then met by hunting and killing
wild birds, and there were Indications
that the species would soon become ex-
tinct. But IN the early sixties. .
French scientist named Gosse issued a
pamphlet In which he argued that the
domestication OF the ostrich was feas-
ible and practicable, and not long after
wards n brood OF ostriches was reared
in the city of Algiers, says Success.
Gosse's pamphlet and news OF the ex-
pertinent in Alglers became familiar
20 two farmers in Cape Colony, who
determined 10 undertake the domesti-
cation OF oxtriches in South Africa. Be
ginning with two birds, which they
caught and placed in an inclosure, in
a twelvemonth they had a brood of
so, which marked the birth of a new
industry which has played potential
part in the development and commerce
of vast region. Large tracts OF land
IN South Africa, which could not be
pr.atably used for any other purpose,
are now devoted TO this business, and
feathers to the value OF $4,000, 900,
from nearly 100000 domesticated birds,
are now annually sent abroad from

MIND AND BODY AFFECTED,
Cons ption Has Caused an Exsrnor-
dfnary Deterioration Among
the Negroes.

The susceptibility Of negroes 70 con-
sumption has apparently undergone a
remarkable change within the last
third OF a century and lung diseases
have become so prevalent among them
as TO justify the belief that Il may sooA
be n veritable scourge TO the race.
During the days Of slavery the disease
was so seldom found among them that
they were considered almost immune
to Il. In fact, some Of the older writers
took the stand squarely and asserted
that consumption was unknown in the
race. From being thus so rare as 70
be almost unknown, It has in a single
generation become so prevalent and
30 fatal that now more negroes In the
south are dying OF tuberculosis than
of any other disease. While II exists
among all classes. Il Is in the densely
populated quarters of towns and cit
les, where they live In overcrowded
and poorly ventilated houses, that II
is found 10 be most frequent. In insti-
tntions where large numbers are more
or less closely confined the rayages
of this disease are becoming truly
alnrming.
The following quotation from a pa
per on the Future of the colored
Race in the United States" published
some years ago by DIR. Eugene Carson,
Il interesting In this connection. He
says: "All the information which ]
have been able to obtain has satisfied
me that the race was healthy one,
even healthier in the main, than the
whites. Since the war things have
been reversed; the colored race as a
race Is not healthy and robust enc;
their vitality is in a state Of unstable
equilibrium; liable from any undue
strain TO give away"
Statistics from institutions having
both white and colored patients viii
show that the latter Is less able to re-
sist the onslaught Of disease. DR..
Mitchell, the superintendent Of the
Mississippi state insane hospital, in hi
last report says: There is one great
difference between the races as re-
CARDS mortality and, although our
treatment, both dietetic and medicinal.
is the same. our loss from deaths
among the colored far exceeds that
sustained by the whites"
Turning from the physical condition
of the negro, let us now investigate
the mental stability of the race. Since
1860 the negroes Of the south have un.
dergone such change IN their ten.
dency TO the development Of mental
diseases as Is shown by no other peo-
pie In a similarly short period of time
in the whole history of mankind. I
will talie the statistics Of our own
state, Georgia, a typical southern
state. as they viii probably be Of more
interest 70 this society than would
those Of the whole United States. In
20 years the total negro population in
the state has been little more than
doubled, while the number Of insane
has increased twentyfold. No other
such rapid and radical change IN the
mental stability Of q race Il recorded
In history. This outburst OF insanity
becomes still more remarkable when
we consider that for generations prior
TO 1860 the colored people had been
! free from mental disease. II he's de-
velopsd. therefore. without the slight
est hereditary trait.
