Forbidden Guest.

The following verse from a recent poem
on ''Our Christmas Guests discloses a
delicate little hint:
Come from that darkened corner! You're
the imp who In my ear
For thirty years has whispered. with
feverish lips o., fear,
That the thing to get was money. the
stuff that men most prize;
Don't think I'm longer blinded by the
glamor of your lies.
For you're a mighty liar, and the thing
to keep Is health,
And it has a value greater than all your
boosted wealth;
And another one Is honor, and some more
are truth and right;
I can hardly bear your presence amongst
my guests tonight.

Sad Reading for England.

Watchers from afar sorrow that the
Mother Of Parliaments should have
sunk to the level Of pothouse brawls.
The house of commons has for years
past been steadily losing its hold up
on the national esteem. Such scenes
as that reported by Reuter- will rap
idly hasten its decline from its once
lofty estate. We wonder whether the
~far-reaching effect of such pitiful ebul.
litions is fully realized In England
India (Bombay) Times.

still?" YES" whispered Bill, ID

Two Definitions,

Wiilie-Pa, what is the difference
between peculation and speculation?
Pa-Peculation is when a man takes
other peoples money, invests it and

The Proboscis Monkey.

A monkey with a nose that has made
some progress on the road to becom.
ing a trunk is a decided curiosity. On
that account the new Ape House at
the Geological Gardens will probably
have plenty Of visitors for some time
to come, in order to see the young
specimen Of the proboscis monkey
the first of its kind brought alive to
England. In that, however, the nose
Is far from having attained the size
which comes only with mature age.
These animals r found only in Dor.
neo. always frequenting the tree tops
Of river side forests, where they con-
gregate in small groups or family par.
ties. The general celebration is red
dish-brown above and white beneath;
but In young animals there Is more
red on the forequarters and the face
Is blackish. Hornaday, the we'll
known collector, said that II the pro
boscis monkey were not eclipsed by
the orang It would be the most famous
Quadrumans Of the East Indies.

Increase in Cremation.

Cremation is n of the oldest forms
Of disposal Of the dead, yet it Is q
form hat lapsed from use for cen.
turtles. 1t appears to be in process
OF restoration. True, it has made but
little head against the custom of bur.
ial, yet there is an increase every
year in snch proportion that We may
look for a wide adoption Of it within
the ext quarter century. There are
in this country but tw~enty-six crema.
tories, yet this is against but two
eighteen years ago, and the number
of cremations is $500 or more a year,
When statistics were first collected
on the subject, eighteen years ago
the annual cremations numbered six.
teen. 1t is because they are common
and have so ceased to be an occasion
of comment that an impression may
have been created which is contrary
to this fact of growth, but the truth
that about $4,000 incinerations have
occurred in the United States, which,
added to the large number in Europe,
certainly indicates an increase.
