Facts About Easter Dates.

Easter, falling on so early a date
this year, makes some Easter statis-
tics interesting.
The earliest date on which Rast-
er can fall is March p. The
moon must then be full on March
FL, and that date must be Satur-
day. Such a combination of cir
cumstances is extremely rare.
Easter Sunday has fallen early as
March 22 in 1923, in 1861. and in
1917, and it will fall on March %
again in 1890, 2O7e and PA.
The latest date on which Easter
can fall is April rs. That happen
ed in 1866, in 1884 and in 1886.
1t will happen again in 1945.-De-
troit News.

Optimism in Missouri

A Missouri politician tells story
illu strative of western optimism.
There had been a dreadful flo cd
in Missouri. One old fellow, who
had lost nearly everything he pos
sessed, was sitting on the roof OF
his house as it hoated along. He
was gazing pensively out over the
waters when a man in boat APP
preached.
Hello, Bill"
Hello, Sam

BilI?"
Yes; but the ducks can swim.
replied the old man, with faint
smile.

be a failure. anyhow

your windows.
That's all right, Sam. Them

Cremation of the Dead.

Cremation of the Dead.

Cremation is one of the most an
Gent methods of disposing of the
dead. Before the beginning of the
Christian era, cremation prevailed
among all civilized nations, except
the Jews, Chinese, and Egyptians.
Later, however, this form gave
way to earth burial.
Cremation has had revival dur
ing the last few years, and from
one crematory in existence in 1880,
there were over fifty in 1890, and
since then others have been added
to the list each year. Cremation IS
common in Japan, where forty
seven per cent. of the dead are in
cinerated. The first crematory in
the United States was built at
Washington, Pennsylvania, IN
1876, by DIR. LIE Moyne, and the
first incarceration there was that of
the body of Baron de Palm, which
took place in December of the same
year. This was the only crematory
in the United States until 1854
