Funeral BY Mail.

The Japanese in Denver who ship
ped the cremated remains of his son
to Japan through the postoffice found
a new use for the mails. In this act
the customs and traditions of a peo-
pie lately out of barbarism called for
aid upon the conveniences of modern
life and received il. The Japanese,
according to the customs of his coun-
try, wished the remains of his boy to
rest in his fatherland. He had the
remains cremated and the ashes
tightly packed in a Theoretically seal
ed jar. This he was able to mail to
Japan from Denver for the small
cost OF % cents. II was the first
time that the Postoffice Department
ever had to pass upon this particular
kind of a package, and nothing was
found in the law to forbid the carry
ing of it through the mails. Mont

Baby Kills Infant Sister.

Lees Summit, Mo-, Aug. 1.-The
infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Arthur, formerly of Bancroft, Ia,
and prominent in business circles
here, died from inhalation of ground
allspice, administered by their Oldest
son, IS months old.
Mrs. Arthur had gone out calling
and left the children-Virginia, A
months, and Harrison, 10 month old
in care of the nurse. While the
nurse had gone out of the room for a
moment the oldest child got hold of a
can of ground allspice which had
fallen from shelf and sprinkled the
powder in the baby's face, as he had
often seen his mother do with the
can of talcum. A physician was i'm
mediately called, but could do moth
ing, as the powder had gotten into
the lungs of the child.
