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 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.
