STIRRED HIS CHINESE PRIDE
Why IL Hung Chang Altered style Of
His Luncheons Given TO Sir
Robert Hart.

The book which Miss Juliet Bredon
has written about her uncle, Sir Rob
ert Hart, the Grand Old Man Of
China" for many years in charge OF
the imperial customs service, ia full
of characteristic and entertaining sto-
ries. Among them IL the following:
One of the most influential of Sir
Roberts Chinese friends was the great
II Hung Chang. The diplomat liked
LIS household because of the simplici.
ty he found there-no wearisome
courses at dinner, but fish and, per-
haps, q chicken with rice. Incautious-
ly. as 1t turned out, he praised this
frugahty to his own Chinese servant,
for the remark reached LIS ears In
distorted form. Next time Sir Rob-
ert went there he had to face a grand
ceremonial banquet.
"You shall not have the chance to
go away and say that you have been
fed like a cooiie in my house." said
the vioeroy, proudly, at the end Of
the banquet.
Nevertheless. the very simplicity Of
your hospitality was what ] most ap-
preciated," Sir Robert replied. But
II you believe that ! could have made
any such remark, and II you persist
in altering the style of my reception,
shall not come to lanch with you
again"

proerese OF Cremation.

Considerations OF modern sentiment
have operated generally to maintain
the custom of interring instead OF
incinerating the dead; yet, with the
Greeks, sentiment ceDtered itself
about the latter, and in literature the
funeral pyre has a 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 fling to the winds from the
top OF some lofty tower or cast into
the sea at flood tide; or, as in the
case of the New York banker, who
died the other day, that they be fed
to the flowers"
Economic reasons, at any rate in
the neighborhood Of large cities, will
tend more and more to make incinera-
ton gain Roadway at the expense of
inteTment The land is needed Most
burials near cities, as matter of
fact, are only temporary. In the cap
ital of Mexico this is frankly recog-
niZed, and when the poor man takes "A
plot in a graveyard it is with the
knowledge that some years later his
bones are to be dispossessed; he rents
rather than buys outright Many of
the small parks in this city occupy
the sites of old cemeteries

III Will De interesting TO DOCe
that for every s 11-18 marriages
there was one suit for divorce.
Of the ID white divorce suits 8
were brought by the wife, and 4
by the husband; of the 5 by col
ored people were by the wife
and l by the husband.
s Averages show that for each
SCoLoRED divorce suit there were
8 1-5 marriages, and for each
WHITE divorce suit there were
1913 marriages.
If domestic relations are so dis
turbed that divorce proceedings
are instituted the indications are
that in those cases where recon-
citation is effected, the course of
love thereafter will not be smooth.
OF the 18 divorce suits Is were
filed by the wives, 5 by husbands,
presumably indicating that the
moral fitness of the husbands is
much lower than that of the wives.
