Urns for the ashes of the dead axe more in demand now than ever before in modern times. Their manufacture has become an Important industry in'the potteries of East Liverpool, O., about forty miles west "Of this -city. Ai mre-? matioa grows in popularity the necessity for these vases increases. At first some difficulty was experienced in keeping the-ashesof the human ? body free' from foreign- materials. Evert ancient periods that was a problem. . .The Greeks used a shroud of asbestos, the Egyptians one of amianth"and even the scientific Mr. Eassie suggested a zino coinn. that metal being volatile. But earthen urns were most cene'rally used, /-Yet--great care wa3 taken to protect these urns from the ravages or * weather ? and in? truders.'

There used to be a custom'among the Digger Indiana of scattering tho. ashes to the winds, or to smear them with gum upon the heaua of .the mourners. But among civilized peo? ple the urn is tho symbol of refinement, even in a doctrine that is questionable to many. 1 THE COST OF rNCONEEATION... " ' These potteries of East Liverpool are but a short distance across the country from the first crematory bver erected in the United States. That is at Washington, Fa,, only thirty miles from St Pitteburgi It was put up by Dr. Julius Lo Mbyno hot . more than twelve -years ago. Tor two years afterward uie incineratiohs which were conducted, there attracted wide-, spread attention on the subjects being brought from prominent families all over the country.

L, has about 800 mem? bers. 'Similar societies exist In nearly all the large cities,'and so. common have incinerations become that half of them are never heard of. The use of natural gas in burning the body at tho furnace, m Pittsburg has so largely reduced the cost of an incineration and the attendant ceremonies that expense is, now no hindrance to the method, at least in this city." In other places, whero they have not got the wonderful fuel, we: have, the cost, although higher, does, not,exceed. ?7 for the incineration and $45 for the whole service. It is said, however, that in Japan the natives have reduced the cost to ?1. EGYPTIAN VASES. As intimated above, the most prevalent material in all ages for vases for tho ashes of the dead has generally been baked clay. Multitudes of Greek sepul? chral urns have, after a lapse of more than fifteen;." centuries, been brought .to light at a time when learned men can: appreciate them and gather .from thexn7. valuable';: ioforination .Irii?;history ;and' archaeology>? rrEgyptiaM^'mafle these, earthen vases sucb^cjad^tihies $&@r they are contemporary witfithe pyramids themselves.' But the most remarkable Egyptian pottery for burial purposes was tho so called porcelain, made of fine sand, or frit, loosely-fused together, and covered with a thick eilicious glaze of blue, green, whiter purple-1 'or"'yellow color. Objects were, not only raadoout of this material for the dead, out for. the - toilef of the living, too. But for tho first object they were used- most. They were exported from Egypt to the neighboring countries, and are found alike in the tombs of the Greek isles, the sepulchers of Etruria and the graves of Greece. Most of the figures of deities, the sepul? chral ones deposited with the dead, and - a few vases for household purposes were made of this porcelain. It was at a later period that figures of deities were modeled in terra cotta. The objects most remarkable in this material for size are the large coffins found at Warka (sup? posed by some to be the Ur of the Chal dees), with oval covers, and ornaments of the Sassanian period.?Pittsburg Cor.' St Louis Globe-Democrat. How It Got Its Names It is said that the town of Howiand, Me., derived its name from the exclama? tion made by an adventurous white man who fell in love with and stole awry from her father's wigwam a young and beautiful squaw. He was pursued down the Piscataquis, where he took Iiis sweet? heart into his canoe and boldly paddled out into the foaming water. In hot pur? suit came the dusky sons of the forest, and, reaching the banks of the swift flowing waters,. they saw the white sanup nearing the shore. They set up cries of rage, which continued through the night AVhen theso came to his ears he proudly lifted his head e:ich time and in classical English cried back, "Howl nnd bo durned!"?Boston Traveller. Cheapened Books. <The appearance of the latest English dictionary, absolutely unabridged and bound in cloth, at the low price of $1.75 a copy, lets a flood of light on modern publishing methods. It would seem im? possible to get out the book so cheaply, with its vast contents, its Greek and latin roots, and all its complicated ar? rangements of type. But it was not set up at all. It was simply photo-litho? graphed. Photographs wero taken of the separate pages, and theso wero next made into electrotype plates to be printed on cheap paper and bound together. Of course the original cost was tho mere trouble of printing the book. In this way the standard works of science and fiction are now turned out at a cost that makes a good library within every one's roach.?New York Sun. A Put Illustration. A funny incident occurred in a Dan bury church last Sunday. The minister was talking in a very solemn manner, and tho congregation was as still as it possibly could be. The preacher was discussing the social condition of tho world, nnd concluded a long sentence with; "Some of you, brethren, sleep away r.s placidly under the terrible dan? ger of everlasting punishment.'* Thero was not a sound, and in tho midst of tho stillness a prolonged snore sounded out loud enough to bo heard over the whole building. What made it still more laughable was the fact that it came from a well known citizen anil a deacon of tho church, who had become drowsy liuring tho long discourse and nodded olf.?: Hartford Tiuie3.

Two young men were sitting just opposite waiting to Welcome some sweetheart on the incoming train. The boys watched the caresses of the couple for a while, but finally decided to put a stop to it. "Tom," said one of the young men to the other, "when is your wife coming home?" "Never, I hope," replied the young; man addressed, "I wish she would elope with some one, or the train run off the bridge with her. By the way, when Is your wife coming home?" "Pretty soon, lam afraid. When she does I have a good mind to meet her at the depot with an ax and give her and that infernal kid ten minutes to leave in. A wife Is a n?is?iice, ?hyWay." The young men kept up this rtonsehs? for half an hour, and* the loving couple knew that all the conversation was in? tended for their ears. It tickled the bride immensely, but the groom got hot? ter and hotter, and finally called one of the young men aside and threatened to whip him.

The ancientB generally maintained that there was a close connection between beeB and the soul. Porphyry speaks of "those souls which the ancients called bees."

Organs of Taste's , , I? th? superior animals, the sense of taste Is located, almost entirely in the tongue', the organs of taste consisting of peculiar bodies called taste bulbs. These are very strongly developed hi the dog and horse.

A horse in a small town near Norwich, Conn., which is disposed to swallow any? thing that comes within its reach, re? cently bolted a large ball of wrapping twine. The ball rolled in easily, but a knob at the end of the cord anchored itself windward .between tho animal's front teeth, and the knot and the visible piece of twine served as a key to the situation when the young groomswoman visited the stable and Inspected her steed. There was a somewhat troubled look on the horse's face as he stood with feet braced, ears lopped, mouth open, and hi .his eyes was a mute appeal that be? token efd a growing Suspicion that prob? ably the case was hopeless. The young lady unloosed the knot, wound alz inches of tiie cord around her hand and begad tb unravel the mystery. The horse kept his mouth open, looked wise, and seemed perfectly to understand what was going on, and out, yard after yard, fathom by fathom, the animal compliantly yielded up his peculiar dinner, and on neither side of the manger was a comment ut? tered, except that now and then the grateful beast emitted a sigh as be ob? served the external ball swelling in mag? nitude and felt the internal one steadily dinnnishing. Finally the last yard of cord was reeled out of the horse, wound up and the ball taken into the house, where the animal couldn't get at it again. ?Lowell News. Daniel Webster as a Financier.

Want of Sleep Is sending thousands annually to the insane asylum; and the doctors say this trouble is alarmingly on the increase. Tho usual remedies, whilo they may give temporary relief, are likely to do more harm than good. What is needed is an Alterative and Blood-purifier. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is incomparably the best. It corrects those disturbances in the circulation which cause sleepless? ness, gives increased vitality, and re? stores the nervous system to a healthful condition. . Rev. T. G. A.
