BEET SUGAR STORAGE.

Saginaw, Jan. 6.-Possibly 40,000,00o
pounds of beet sugar is now-stored in
the warehouses Of the Michigan sugar
factories, This is the statement Of
Watts s. Humphrey, president Of the
Michigan Beet Manufacturers assoc
citation. The condition Of affairs is
causing great amount of worry
among the manufacturers. In Sag
NAV the two companies. the Saginaw
and the Valley, each has about 5000
600 pounds on hand. The Sebewaing
company has almost as large an
amount, and the other companies in
the state range proportionately. The
manufacturers say they do not under
stand why this condition of affairs
should be. Although they do not make
the open assertion, several have inti-
mated that the sugar trust has taken
another means OF harming the beet
interests by stocking all the jobbers
in the state.

There are suggestions without num-
Der for the cure of corns.- Any reputa-
BILE chiropodist and some who are not
reputable can furnish an unfailing
remedy. But there is one sure way to
prevent them. Don't wear the same
pair of shoes two days in succession.
Corns are caused by friction on the
toes, and the most expert bootmakel
cannot make two pairs of shoes which
will rub the feet in the same place.
The change of shoes gives the feet a
chance TO rest. 1t is also good for the
shoes, and footwear which is treated
in this fashion will last much longer
than if put to daily use.

Buruing the Dead.

Cremation has been practiced by most
of the nations of the earth from the
earliest ages, and, although in pagan
countries 1t may have taken the form
of fire worShiping there can be no
doubt that its adoption by the ancients
was for the most part prompted by
other than religious reason. Greeks
ascribe its introduction to Hercules,
who, having sworn to transmit the
body of Argus to his father, thought
this the most convenient way of full
filling his promise. According to Ho-
mer, the burning of the dead was a
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war. but the
earliest record of 1t is among the Scyth-
ians, who inhabited the vast region
known under the name of Tartary.
Slender accounts handed down con-
cerning the manners of some of the an
clent natives of Hindustan also allude
TO the custom. The idea of publication
by fire was in all ages universal, and
with good reason. Some believed that
the body was unclean after the depar-
ture of the soul, and 1t was therefore
deemed necessary that it should be
purified by fire. Ovid expressed the
general opinion of his time when he
said that the soul was not completely
separated from the body until the lat
ter was consumed on the pyre. The
Athenians invariably after battle
burned the slain.
