CREMATION.

Perhaps it is to be wondered at tnal cremation has made any headway III this countrv, which is as conservative as it is free. But it has made some. liiS first cremation in the United 9l''e' took place in 1876 In the two loilo"- ing years there was but one more. Dy the end of 1894 there had been eVo' Now there are more than this Tn d single year. So ihe practice is finding favor. and the indications are that Il is going to rapidly grow in favor rom now on. Crematories have been estap- lished in many places, and though the cremation societies don't seem to De as active as they used to be perhaps there is no longer need for them 10 DC so' Cremation is now taken as a matter of course. and there is no longer any such prejudice against it as there was Many people who are influential give their influence to the cremation ldea by advocating it in life and having their own bodies cremated. So there has been a great change in this lm- portant matter during the last genera ton, and a greater one appears to be III sight.

 It will be interesting to see how this arrangement works Doubtless MT. and Mrs Whiscomb got very tired of their work and perhaps little tired of each other They probably had some conversation" in which each gently told the other that the others job was the best. This conversation finally be- came strenuous, and Mrs Whiscomb may have told Mr. Whiscomb that he would find out if he only had to do and suffer what she did and suffered in housework. Then he may have sud denly offered to swap. and his offer may have been as suddenly aecepted. Now the experiment is on.

ONLY TWO. BUT BIG ONES.

It now looks as if we should have only two battleships started this year, but they will be what are known as "corkers." They will, it is said. be du- plicates of the Delaware. The displace- ment will be placed at 10000 tons, and it is proposed to give the Secretary Of the Navy discretion to increase this displacement, in view of the tendency of the development in naval design. There are those who believe that the time is not far distant when the bat tleships will have displacement of thirty thousand tons, but this is not likely to be realized in the plans which will be presented to bidders this year. There are good reasons, say the naval authorities, why the Delaware should be duplicated in speed. armament and protection.
 Of course the President and some other strenuous souls will be disap- pointed with only two more battle ships, but they will find some eonsola- tion in contemplation of the size of them and of the size of those that will follow them. Perhaps by and by the battleships will be so big that they can't safely go anywhere to fight, and when that time comes the Peace con. gress can have another meeting.

NOT WHOLLY A JOKE.

All the new views Of the new ed ucation are not as complimentary to it as some of the new educators would like to have them be, Not long ago q distinguished college president said that the new education didn't amount to much, and now comes a distinguish ed college professor saving that it doesn't Professor Frederick Starr, of the University of Chicago, told the graduating class of the Chicago Nor nal School this; The old education de- veloped thinkers and workers. It produced men, who, like Webster and Iiayne. could mold political opinion and shape the destnies of a nation. It turned out men who were morally re- lsponsible in all the walks of life The new education is entertaining children instead of instructing them with it's 1 idea of study as recreation instead of i labor. And, with it's whole view of life as one long pastime, it is already bear ing fruit in nation that sends no one to Congress with an idea worth attend | ing to. We face a serious situation. Love of high ideals and devotion to the real issues of morality must take a firm place in our elementary schools if we are not to become what we nearly have become already--a nation of | testers.
 There may be something in Profes- sor Starr's remarks worth attention. Ii the schools. as well as the churches
 have taken to entertaining those who attend them instead of instructine them it is time to wake up a little. Life isn't wholly a joke
