is GROWING IN FAVOR,
Tendency Toward Disposition of
Human Dead by Cremation He
coming More Popular.

The custom of cremation prevailed
throughout the civilized world before
the Christian era, excepting among
the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews,
and recent statistics show that there
is constant and growing tendency
to return to the custom.
The disposition of the human dead
by incarceration has been meeting
with more and more favor, that has in
no wise been retarded since the first
cremation society was formed in Lon
don in 1874, That same year crema-
tory was erected in Milan and two
years afterward one was built in
Lodi, Italy. In two years more there
was one in Gotha, Germany. and aft
erward they began to appear in all
lands.
The first one in this country was
erected in Washington, Pa. in 1853,
and the one in Fresh Pond, l.. l., came
two years afterward. In this latter
eight bodies We're cremated the first
year and IS in the second wear. In 1900
the total has passed the 800 mark, and
during last year it reached G54.
There are now &c crematories in the
United States. In the year that New
1ork's first crematory was opened
only 46 bodies were cremated in the
entire country, while last year the
number was 2,G45,

man who takes tips? No, not at all.
'Iou, for instance, tell your tobac-
conist that in a few days Smith, the
millionaire, will be in to see him
that Smith was looking for good
dealer, and you recommended him to
go there. Well, Smith goes there and
leaves heavy order. Hence you are
not surprised when you receive little

tobactonist's compliments but if
those cigars are not tip, what are

factory. The firm he patronzes is
sending him every week or two boxes
OF toilet soaps, eases of perfumery,
dozens of golf balls. and barrels of
clans. Those are Browns tips--the
gratnlties he gets for his patronage
Robinson sends rich friend to his
Tailor with note of introduction, and
the rich friend buys four suits. Isn't
Robinson being tipped when the tailor,
the week following, makes him
present OF a set of English flannels"
The waiter made disdainful ges-
ture, avs the Philadelphia Record, and
ejaculated:
"pish! Tipping, they say, is I'M
American. and waiter of proper
pride and independence would scorn
to accept Il quarter or half in re-
turn Tor the serving of a meal. But

elevator man, are taking tips of one
sort or another all our lives"

the Court John Neary in the City

Ainscow's where he had an inter-
view with the young woman.
She declared that the jewels be-
longed to her and claimed that she
could prove that she owned them
if given al opportunity to do SO.
She went with the chief to the
City Hall, where they discussed the
situation, and finally the couple
