THE BEAUTlFYlNG
OF CEMETERIES.
Plan Outlined For Doing Away With
Some of Their Worst Features.

Cemeteries are adopting the plan of
having the price of the lots include
their perpetual care, thus insuring Il
uniformly neat appearance of the
grounds. This plan IS almost uniyer-
sally adopted by new cemeteries Most
cemeteries now require all graves to
be on level with the surface, doing
away with the raised mounds, which
adds greatly to the appearance of the
place says the New York sun.
Before cemeteries can be made as
attractive as they should be it will be
necessary to require simple and uni
form markers OF stone ut every grave.

manner possible, with trees Of various
kinds, Towering shrubs, rose beds and
arbors, ponds with aquatic plants and
swans and benches neatly arranged in
shaded spots ana under arbors for the
comfort OF visitors.
The general use of monuments will
be prohibited. 4 few monuments of
real artistic merit by celebrated artists

the landscape, will make the cemetery
