NICKEL INSURANCE.
You Drop One in the 81ot and Your
Heirs May Get SSOO.
From the New York Sun.
The drop-a-nickel-in-the-slot insurance
plan has caught Wall street men rather
heavily. They insure their lives for twen
ty-four hours with a five cent piece, with as
much regularity as they have their boots
blacked. It insures SSOO to their heirs in
case they are smashed in an elevated train
going up town, and gives them a subject to
talk about at dinner. To a layman it is
difficult to see exactly where the profit
comos in, for the cost of the tickets must be
very largo? to say nothing of the whole
expense of running the machines. It would
be interesting to know whether the com
pany could be held legally to the payment
of the promised fund in case a man was
killed who had invested a nickel in the en
terprise.
Popular Science.
De Leon has been making an extended
investigation of the amount of iron in
milk, and finds that cow’s milk contains
more of tnis constituent than either human
or asses’ milk. In asses’ milk he found
0.0025 per cent, of iron, in human milk,
0.0015 percent., and in cow’s milk, 0.004 per
cent.
Saffron, as is well known, is used to color
butter, nudels, liqueurs, etc., that flue shade
of yellow which the public delights in, and
takes to indicate unusual purity of the arti
cles. Since the introduction of the aniline
colors, a number of them have been used
instead of saffron, being stronger and in
the end cheaper. Among these is the or
ganic substance called dinitrocresol, and also
“saffron substitute. Weyl has recently
proved that this substance is poisonous, aud
that rabbits are easily killed by it. It will
bo well to ponder on this while waiting for
one’s dinner.
Fire under water can be produced by
placiug a small piece of phosphorus in a
conically shaped glass filled with water, and
some crystals of chlorate of potash covering
the phosphorus, and then pouring through a
long tube funnel, or a glass tube, a few
drops of sulphuric acid down on tho mix
ture at the bottom of the glass, Tongues
of flamo can bo seen flashing up through
the water. The intense chemical action
produces sufficient heat to inflame the phos
phorous under the water. Where there is
sufficient heat and oxygen fire will burn,
whether in air or water.

Did ever any one see a jolly dyspeptic? Wo

THE DISPOSIT OM OF THE DEAD.
The Subject Discussed by a Number
of Well-Known -_adv Writers.
(Copyright 1888.)
New York, Dec. B.—The disposition of
the dead is a subject over which there has
been much discussion, since the dawn of
the sanitary age, and it is one about which
there are held widely divergent views. An
English writer, Sir Spencer Wells, recently
asserted in an article favoring cremation,
that “thinking people were long ago dis
gusted with tho abuses of the present objec
tionable system of burials, and that the more
ignorant part of the middle and lower
classes would have to be educated up to a
rejection of customs endeared to them by
usage.”
It is said that women, more universally
than men, oppose cremation, but this is not
true of tho educated class at least. From a
correspondence on the subject which in
cluded letters from nearly a hundred liter
ary women only two or three rejected it,
while the great majority urged its adoption
on religious, scientific and economic
grounds.
Below will be found a few of the leading
opinions from women who are certainly rep
resentatives of the thinking classes.
“The question of cremation is purely one
of sentiment—religion does not enter into
it at all, and in anew, broad country like
ours, the sanitary aspect of the case does
not press heavily upon the people. We
have room as yet for the dead as well as
the living.
“The choice then lies beween the grave
and the urn, solely on the ground of which
robs death of the most of his terrors, and
for a long time people will choose the
grave. They would rather think of their
dear ones at rest gra s than
reduced to a mass of white ashes. It isjin
vain to tell them that a process of disinte
gration goes on in the grave more terrible
than any fire can cause. They do not see
it, they will not realize It.
“Cremation is just as reverent as burial.
It can be made just as much of a religious
ceremony. It is cleaner, healthier and
cheaper, but for a long time the heart of
ll
K I m** — -
INTERIOR OF THE LONG ISLAND CREMATORY AT FRESH POND.
the people will cling to ‘the green ‘grass
of its sires and refuse to adopt it.’
Bessie Chandler.
“I have no views at all, yet burial seems
to me the most natural method, and with
out graveyards we should miss much, I
should at least—of poetic and religious asso
ciation with the departure of friends into
the unseen.” Lucy Larcom.
“Fifteen years ago I wrote directions to
have my own body cremated at last, and
the only horror death holds for me is that
the wish may- by any chance bo unfulfilled.
How can we leave our friendless dead to the
slow change and deformity of the grave?”
Shirley Dare.
“I believe in cremation for four reasons.
Ist—lt insures one against premature bur
ial. 2d—lt is more healthful for the liv
ing. 3i—lt is more agreeable to contem
plate. 4th—lt seems to finish up the busi
ness of living in a more complete and satis
factory manner.”
Olive Thorne Miller.
"To me it is a pleasant thought that the
beloved object can be reduced to ashes
without passing through all the loathsome
stages of putrefaction. The unavoidable
phenomenon that we call death oven pres
ents to us a less repulsive aspect when we
reflect that the cherished form need not be
come hideous, but can be at once reduced
to clean white ashes that we may keep if we
care for mortal remains.
“Apart from this, the good of the many is
what we must always consider, and the
laws of hygiene certainly call for all meas
ures that may keep pure the atmosphere of
this little planet. That there is nothing
new under the sun most people are willing
to admit, and the disposal of the dead by
means of cremation is as old as the hills.
The ancient Egyptians, having no fuel to
burn their dead, made a point of embalm
ing, and afterward burying them above
high water mark of the inundation. In
modern times the dwellers on tho banks of
the Nile inter their dead around the Cities;
the result is cholera and other pestilences.
All the wisest nations of antiquity wore
accustomed to burn the corp.-es, except
when unable to obtain fuel, then they
mumified them. Even in Central America
the ‘extinguished,’ as they call the do
parted, were given to the warm embrace of
tho purifying flames.
“i'herois not the least doubt that if when
the fovor broke out in Jacksonville, crema
tion had been insisted on and adopted in
every case, the disea-e would have soon
died out. As it is, tho same sickness will
most likeiy reappear in tho spring.”
Alice le Plongkon.
“While it may be wise as a sanitary meas
ure, I cannot a > yet be willing to see it
adopted with regard to those who are dear
to me." Sarah K. Bolton.
“Cremation as a method of disposing of
the untenauted human form has never been
repugnant to my thoughts. It is simply a
snore rapid method of combustion, and
combustion is hut one kind of decomp isi
tion and the least offensive kind. In the inter
ests of the living cremation has always
seemed to be the most unobjectionable wav
in which to dispose of that which is dead.
It is doubtless true that if the body was
laid in the earth with no interposing barrier
of indestructible coffin or casket between
the kindly mould and tho dauntless form, it
would be resolved back into its elements in
a vastly more rapid manner than it is now,
and in a more natural and harmless man
ner too.” Frances E. Willard.
“While I confess to tho prejudices of
earlier tbonght in favor of the old method
of interment, there can be no doubt that tho
sanitary considerations in favor of crema
tiou are of overwhelming importance.”
Lillie Devereaux Blake.
"I have a groat aversion to this strange
idea of cremation, and trust no friend of
mino will desiro it—‘Dust thou art anil to
dust thou shalt return,’ but I prefer to go
by the natural way and not by fire. Yet I
am not prepared to givo any good reason
for the aversion save my own personal dis
like of so disposing of the bodies of our
friends." Mrs. Uknuv Ward Beecher.
“While the arguments in favor of crema
tion are many and excellent, I ie noth
ing against it but tradition, prejudice aud
a rather selfish sentimentality. Looked at
from tho standpoint of the dead body, it
seems to mi ’hat the quick and complete
reaction to a handful of clean white ashes
is everyway more cleasaut aud desirable
than being lowered into a dark, damp
hole, and left to the processes of slow cor
ruption, the chances of being dug up as a
‘subject’ by coarse and irreverent medical
students, or later, the possibility of being
shoveled out aud cast aside by the spade of
the workman who is excavating for anew
street building, or railroad bed. All these
things are continually happening to the
buried dead; and all are surely much more
repulsive than the idea of being 'purified
by firei’ and transmuted at once to a little
odorless dust, which nobody can desecrate
or identify. I see nothing but crematiou
which can effectually and wholesomely
supersede the present expensive and mis
chievous system of burying the dead near
the homes of the living; expensive because
it occupies much of the most valuable space
on tho habitable globe, and mischievous be
cause it brings suffering, disease and prema
ture death to a far greater number of
fiersons every year then has ever, as I be
ieve, been suspected.”
Elizabeth Akers.
“Justice to the living wili ultimately
force the majority of people to the conclu
sions of tho minority on the subject of cre
mation. Personally I favor cremation for
the same reason that I oppose burial—on
the hygienic and moral grounds. I think
the costly show places we call graveyards -
are disgraceful evidences of our low civil
ization. The colonization of corpses near
our large cities should be forbidden, first
for sanitary reasons, and second, that the
vulgar and ostentatious display mada in
them may be stopped. Cremation would
remove many evils associated with our
present burial customs, one in particular of
which Americans seem to enjoy the monop
oly. I refer to tho traveling of corpses
about the country and over the seas—to the
discomfort and injury of the living.
Respect for my fellow beings leads me to
desire that my lifeless body shall not be
permitted to contaminate the living; and
self respect makes me wish that my kindred
and friends may associate the useless flesh
which I must leave to their care to obliber
ato with the purifying element of fire.”
Laura C. Holloway.
“I am getting where I must contemplate
the possibility of w orms eating my body
and I find myself very hostile to the idea. I
believe in crematb n and desire it for my
self. I believe in it for all reasons. The
arguments in its favor must be the same at
ail times as its advocates in this country
have put forth from tho beginning, viz,
from a sanitary consideration.
“A thinking person has only to glance at
the already existing condition of things in
burial places near Boston —where the Irish
are buried in ‘platoons’ botti horizontally
and perpendicularly, and covering such an
area, in one place at least, as to make
one turn with sickening contemnt from the
whole scene, and vow “by the Eternal” to
do all in their power to bring about crema
tion as a preventive of pestilenc -s. It is
quite time tho ancient method of disposing
of the dead by cremation was revived. The
early settlers of this country were blessed
with a “virgin soil,” in this respect as well
as all others. The North American Indians
to an almost universal extent burned not
only their dead, but every thing belonging
to them. Some of the tribes in the north
west did this altogether and continue now
to do so, thinking it a sacred and binding
obligation.” Elizabeth Peabody.
“When we bring an unbiased judgment,
free from the shackles which the custom of
centuries has placed upon it, to the candid
consideration of this subject, we can but
admit that cremation is not only a safe
guard for the living, but it is a kinder, more
tender di-posal of the dead.”
Rose Hartwick Thorpe.
“It is my impression that cremation of
the dead would bo much better than burial,
in the interests of the survivors, but I
have not looked into the subject sufficiently
to have a claim to give any opinion.”
Louise Chandler Moulton.

MAGAZINES.
In opening the beautiful December Mag
azine, of American History the eye rests
first upon the Rembrandt Peale portraits of
George and Martha Washington, contrib
uted by Miss Stokes, gems in their way,
superbly engraved, aud of surpassing in
terest now that it is so unusual to discover
unpublished portraits of our first Presi
dent. “The Inauguration of Washington
in 1789,” by Mrs. Lamb, is a timely as well
as a notable paper. It is uniquely and ap
propriately illustrated. This magazine,
while giving to the public a charmingly
readable “Washington number,” has not
overlooked Christmas. The second paper is
by Dr. Prosper Bender on the "Holidays of
the French Canadians,” aud it is wel!
worthy of critical attention. Among the
short contributions is one from Katharine
Armstrong of London, England, o > “The
Anglo-Americans;” a letter from Richard
Henry Lee in 1782; two unpublished letters
of Washington, and other Washingtoniaua.
