Increase in Cremation.

cremation is n of the oldest forms
OF disposal of the dead, yet it is a
form that 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 next quarter century. There are
in this country but twenty-six crema.
tories, yet this is against but two
eighteen years ago, and the number
OF cremations is $500 or more a wear.
When statistics were first collected
on the subject, eighteen years ago.
the annual cremations numbered six
teen. 1t is because they are common
n have so ceased to be an occasion
OF comment that an Impression may
nave been created which is contrary
to this fact of growth, but the truth
that about $4,000 incinerations nave
occurred in the United States. which.
added to the large number in Europe,
certainly indicates an increase.
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 it's 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 are found only in Bor.
neo, always %freauenting the tree OBS
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 well.
Known collector, said that IL the pro
boscis monkey were not eclipsed by
the orang it would be the most famous
quadrumane of the East Indies.

a year hence and will place law on |
the statutes during the first session of
the Fifty ninth Congress.
When the Philippine Public Inn
provement bill passed the senate
recently an attempt was made by
certain democratic senators to so
amend the railway section as to
compel such railroads as might bene-
fit by the law to incorporate in their
charters a declaration of the right of
the Philippine government to fix
the rates to be charged by such
roads. 30 attractive did the PROPOSE
ton seem that ten republican sena-
tors, including Senator formerly
Attorney General) Knox, voted for it.
The amendment was, however, only
coup of partisan politics for the
reason that the Organic Act of the
Philippines provides that no charae-
ter shall he issued to any railroad ex-
cept on the understanding that the
Philippine government shall have the
right to fix the rates charged. The
most important provision of the
Philippine Public Improvement bill
was the railroad section which was
completely redrafted by Senator
Spooner just before the passage of
the act. This section authorizes the
Philippine government to guarantee
| infarncE fnr q nnrin6 nf
thirty years, on bonds issued in re-
turn for funds actually invested in
system of Philippine railroads. AS
redrafted this section makes the
bonds on which interest is guaranteed
a first lien on the railroads and also
constitute any interest advanced by
the government lien and in other
ways protects the Philippine govern
ment from possible loss resulting
from bad or fraudulent management.
The president recently appointed

West Point cadet and still more re-
Gently made j. E. B. Stuart, a SOB of
the famous cavalry leader, "Jeb"
Stuart, United States Marshal for the
Eastern District of Virginia. 1t will
be remembered that General Jeb
Stuart was the officer who succeeded
Stonewall Jackson as commander of
Jackson's brigade and that, more
over, he revolutionized the cavalry
tactics of this country, if not of the
world. He discarded the sabre as the
sole arm of the cavalry and furnished
his men with carbines, devoting as
much time as possible to practice
with that weapon. The president
declared recently that this country
owed Jeb Stuart a debt Of gratitude
for what he had done in promoting
the efficiency of the cavalry arm of
the service. Carrying Missouri was a
feature of the last election which
much delighted the president and to
this day he carries about and shows
to his friends newspaper cartoon
which typifies Missouri as a new
soldier taken from the democratic
ranks and added to the republican
regiment. incidentally, it may be
asserted with confidence that nothing
will be done with the various meas
ures which have for their object the
] curtailment of the southern repre-
sentation in congress. "Better that
they should be converted to republi
canism and live," says the president
to those who appeal to him for sup
port for such measures.
