CREMATION OF THE DEAD.
New York Newspaper Gives Reason
for Its Adoption.

for Its Adoption.
Cremation merely reaches in
shorter period the same ANAL result as
burial, says Municipal Affairs. Fleshy
parts of the corpse decompose in the
earth in five or ten years. during the
whole period of decomposition they
constitute nothing but a putrid mass
of carrion. Bones which take cen.
turtles to crumble are unceremoniously
carted from one cemetery to another
when necessity compels their removal
and increase the horror of death after
they have ceased to be identified and
claimed. If they are converted with
the flesh, INTO ashes in one hour they
are insured against dissertation. The
volume and weight of bodies are re-
duced by the process of cremation
some IS per cent.
If ashes were placed in the grave OF
an urn cemetery, as occasionally is
done, the dead would leave more room
for the living than their intact bodies
demand. Two hundred city lots are
now required to bury in the old fash
Toned way the seventy thousand per-
sons that annually die in Greater New
York. We probably could save more
than hundred and fifty of these pre-
cious lots if ashes of the seventy thou
sand were placed in urn cemeteries,
preserved in inches of a columbarium
or strewn on the waves of river. As
cemeteries are exempt from taxation
the municipality would derive an in
come from the lots which the living
then would use and from the improve
ments they would make upon them

WHY HE DIDN'T
ENJOY THE OPERA

A certain man who wears his hair POM
padour and is a crank is contemplating
writing a book entitled The Trials and
Tribulations of the Man Who Goes to the
Opera to Hear the Music" Even if the
name were not so cumbersome, it is not
likely that the author would ever waken
up to find himself famous, and indeed, it
is understood that he, strange to say, has
no desire for fame in spite of the fact that
he is a crank, nor does lie even want more
than five readers for his work. AS for 9TH
ers he will not care for any, he says If
only he is given a chance to use without
restriction all his powers of roasting and
sarcasm for his own satisfaction and the
dissa tisfac tion of those benighted hVe.
This abnormal and unfortunate condition
of the crank s usually more sensible mind
was brought about by rather trying eX-
perence during the recent three days sea-
son of grand opera in Washington. He
claims that any other man who had been
in his place would now be an inmate or the
Government Hospital for the Insane, but
the judgment of crank is conceded TO De
preiudiced. The tale of his supposed suffer-
ings, to which reference has been made, is
short.
After standing in line at the box Office for
more than half an hour (Which made MIN
hot and "touchy'') and after being pushed
about rather thoughtlessly by a large po-
liceman, he was permitted through the kind
ness of the manager OF the theater to pur-
chase more than six square inches of stand
ing room on the first floor of the audito-
rum at the very reasonable price of s.
Rushing inside in somewhat overheated
condition he managed to find spot where
by constantly moving his head from one
side to the other he thought he could fol-
low with his eyes the movements of the
singers on the stage.
He was soon wedged closely between two
corpulent women in front of him and two
slender ones in the rear. But he did not
mind this in the least. for his chief pecu-
liarity was his fondness for high-class ms
sic. and to hear it he would endure every
kind of Inconvenience.
Had it not been for the long period of
tiresome waiting at the box office and the
sitting atmosphere in the rear of the audi
torium he probably would not have been
disturbed at all when the two ladies in
front refused to remove their hats. AS it
was, he showed some composure, merely
changing his position so as to be able to
see the singers every ten minutes. He had
doubtless read that every rose has its
thorn.
When the orchestra started to play the
overture of the opera, which was Car
men," with Nine. Calves singing the title
role, he settled down on his feet and pre-
pared to enjoy as he had seldom enjoyed
before.
Suddenly he became aware that man

central points, where the big bateaus are
loaded and then poled by two or three men
down the Viga canal to the city.
On the Santa Maria"
The Santa Maria" wound her serpentine
course in one and out of another canal until
she reached one of the several springs
which furnish the water supply of the lake.
1t was pool about forty feet in circumfer-
ence and about twenty-five feet deep. The
water was as clear as crystal and of "a
beautiful irridescent turquoise hue. Flowers
which had been weighted and sunk, and
could easily be seen on the bottom, seemed
to have all colors of the rainbow Indians
were engaged IN building a wall about this
spring for the purpose of utilizing it for
the city. The water will be pumped to
a reservoir on high hill few hundred
yards away and then piped into the city, a
distance of about fifteen miles.
A Willow Tree Story.
My attention was attracted to a double
row of trees, kind of willow, about
twenty-five feet in height with thick
bushy tops. They seemed to grow there
for purpose, but 1 couldn't imagine what
it might be. On making inquiry l was in
formed that about eighteen months ago the
Pan-American commissioners were given a
banquet there. These trees were the posts
which supported the awning over the
moved, but the posts had been allowed to
remain. 1t was a pretty good place. so they
took root and went diligently to work
growing. What were bare posts eighteen
months ago are now flourishing trees This
will give an idea of how easy it is TO grow
things in this country.
A Mexican Dinner.
The Santa Maria steamed along through
innumerable canals and the first thing we
knew she touched at her own landing. Then
we disembarked and repaired to the club
house, where we found a regular Mexican
dinner awaiting us, consisting of dry soup,
tortillas, hot tomales and other edibleS not
to mention some good American dishes in
addition. This had all been prepared by
the wife of the village chief and some as
sistants Our host was unwilling to sit
down. however, until he had distributed a
double handful of candies to a group of
chubby Indian children, who stood
outside with longing expressions. We re-
turned to the city the same way We came,
agreeing that it had been one of the most
delightful days of our sojourn in Mexico.

Not Very Attractive.
The Indians in this neighborhood are very
different from the dirty. lazy pulque-drink-
ing natives of the environs of the city.
They are thrifty and Industrious and clean
ly in their habits. The men wear white
cotton shirts and trousers. The latter they
roll up above their knees and work in the

secure rich fertilizer for their gardens, but
at the same time perform the necessary
work of keeping the channels open
They scoop the mud up in long-handled
dip nets and empty it into canoe until the
boat is weighted down almost to the level
of the water. Then they pole 1t to shore
and transfer it in the same way. Others
on shore smear 1t over the garden, remind
ing one of men working in a big mortar
bed. After the garden has been covered
over they smooth the surface and mark it

seeds, and in a marvelously short time
gather their crops.

MANY LIVES PROBABLY
SAVED BY A NEWS AGENT
Warned Passengers of Coming
Collision and They Jumped
from Coaches.
EIGHT BABY INJURED

NEWPORT, Ark, Jan. 27.-South-bound
passenger train No. 1, on the ST. Louis &
Iron Mountain road ran into the White
river branch passenger train at Riaz. the
junction CT the branch with the main line,
two miles north of here, injuring eight per-
sons, several of them fatally. The branch
train had just pulled to the main line
and stopped for more coal, when the fast
train struck it from the rear and plowed
entirely through the two coaches, overturn-
ing the engine of No. l and crushing the
coaches of the branch train completely.
That there was not great loss of life was
due to the fact that Joe Pennington, the
news agent. saw the approach of the St.
Louis train and ran through the coaches
warning the passengers to jump for their
lives. Many did and escaped with a few
slight bruises. The engineer of No.
stuck TO his engine until she turned over.
The injured j. r. Greigle, Cord,
Ark, caught in rear coach, chest crushed
and injured internally, will die. ID. l.. Fluke,
fireman Of No. l, jumped before collision
and struck mile post, skull fractured and

hips. Daniel OBrien, New York, face

ribs fractured
The passengers on No l were badly shak-
en- up, but none was injured so as TO need
medical assistance. The wrecked cars took
fire and the flames communicated to the
coal chute, which burned with them.
