Progress of Cremation.

Considerations of modern sentiment
have operated generally to maintain the
custom of interring instead of incinerat-
ing the dead; yet, with the Greeks, SEN
timent centered itself about the latter,
and in literature the funeral pyre has a
significance as fine as the graves. Ger.
tain pioneering spirits have essayed with
some success to give beauty to the bap-
tism of flame, wherein mortal clay be-
comes 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 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 incineration gain
Roadway at the expense of interment.
The land is needed. Most burials near
cities, as a matter of fact, are only tenn
porary. In the capital of Mexico this
is frankly recognized, 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.-New York Mail.

for $500. Surillipto is "a poor operator
in one of the big Olneyville mills. Claim
ing to be a descendant of early Italian
nobility, he sought to raise money by the
sale of the relic. He has had the paint

ways been in his family. When the
dealer offered Cont the hundred dollars,
the latter was quick witted enough to
refuse. Cont then fastened to Boston
where the Boston Museum of Art offic-

it. The picture has been sent to New
