PROGRESS of Cremation,

Considerations Of modern sentiment
have operated generally to maintain
tho custom of interring instead OF
incinerating the dead; yet, with the
Greeks, sentiment conferred itself
about the latter, and in literature the
funeral pyre has q significance as fine
as the graves Certain pioneering
spirits have essayed with some sue
cess TO give beauty TO the baptism OF
flame, wherein mortal clay becomes
dust, and have directed that their
ashes be flung to the winds from the
top of some lofty tower or cast into
the sea at food tide; or, as in the
cose of the New York banker, who
died the other day, that they be fed
to the flowers"

The Meat Boycott.

Those friendly to the meat boycott

States should welcome the position OF
Germany in prohibiting the importa-
|tion of American meats, and should
hope that every other European coun-
TRY will join her in this action. The
meat is needed at home to cheaper
the cost. Our government should
have no quarrel with Germany over
the action of the latter and American
lboycotters of meat should give con
gress and the administration to un.
derstand that the German boycott is
approved by the masses of the people
of this country, who constitute the
wage earning class and all who have
scarcely more than living incomes.
