Economy and Cleanliness Among Its Claims* Ashes May Be Left In the Crematory, bu6 Often Mourners Carry Them Away and Keep Them Always Near. } "Cremation this afternoon at 2." These words are lettered on a small sign that swings in a shop window on Hous­ ton street, where several curious urns are displayed, This is the New York office of a suburban cemetery, where are cremated the bodies • of. those wh(i prefer that their remains shall ba con­ sumed by flame rather than to let na­ ture take its course in a coffin six feet under the sod. -•« -, ' A World reporter diopped Into the office and had a talk with the young man in charge. It was too late on that afternoon to witness a cremation, but ordinarily the crematory people are glad to have spectators when the interesting process is going on. Economy is always considered by most people, and cremation is cheap. It is also clean, and what is cleaner for a last resting place than a white metal vase? "You know how much you would have to pay for a plot at Greenwood?" said the young man. "Atour crematory $25 will buy a niche in which you may place an urn large enough to hold the asheS of an entire family." There is something sentimental in the ashes of "two souls with but a single thought" being put together. There are no rules against buying a row of niches. This, however, is more expensive, and the line of names on the separate urns suggests the search for a name on the bells of a flathouse. Yet there are often as many as 12 niches bought in a row. Each niche is decorated by the crema­ tion company every Memorial day. It is on this occasion that the crematory has its greatest number of visitors. When the young man was asked what class of people favored Cremation, he re­ plied: "No particular class of people. In New York the Germans perhaps are the most numerous advocates of it. It appeals alike to the poor and the wealthy. The cost to cremate an adult is $35 and $25 for a child. An urn large enough to contain the ashes of one per­ son can be bought for $6, and this, with the price of a niche, does not bring cre­ mation beyond the reach of the poor man. "What are the urns made of? Mostly of bronze and white metal. Here is a beauty of serpentine stone." The "beauty" was only 20 inches high, but it cost $45. There are about a dozen dif­ ferent designs in urns. Often a dead person's relatives may desire to keep the ashes in a parlor vase. The young man was asked if all the ashes of those cremated were kept at the cemetery. "Just about one-half are," he answered. "Some are taken away and placed in safety vaults, and some are always kept near the person who most loved the deceased in life. I know of one lady who always carries the ashes of her husband wherever she goes. They have been to Europe and back several times, and have had many trips to "the seashore and mountains. "No one but myself ever handles the ashes after they leave the fireman. They are sent to me from there, and I seal each jar and keep them here until they are sent for or until I have too many on hand. In that case I notify the relatives. If they want them transferred to an urn, I do it by means of this great glass fun­ nel. Do they alFpass through the same funnel? Of course. What's the differ­ ence ? I clean it after each separate lot of ashes." He then went over to the big office safe, and, fixing the combination lock, opened the iron door. There was exposed a row of black jars about the size of or-, dinary tomato cans. Each jar was sealed with black wax and tape, and pasted on the front was a label. The young man took out one of the jars and set it on the hand of a woman who wore a number five glove. She held it easily and read the label. Inside of the jar was all that remained of a large sized man who had been cremated three weeks before.--- New York World. Real Comfort for Small Incomes.

THE HAUNTED KITCHEN, Terrible Fright of a elated Cook and Her Precipitate Flight. Out in the neighborhood of Iowa cir­ cle lives a government clerk who has grown gray in the services of his coun­ try, and with his gray hairs have grad­ ually crept up in him several ills that flesh is heir to, among others an occa­ sional touch of insomnia. Insomnia breeds irritability, and his irritability had been stirred to its lowest depths by inability to get a satisfactory hired girl, but a month or so ago he was fortunate enough to get. a "settled woman," who was pretty near perfection. She was a good cook, staid in nights except when her "s'ciety" met, and in other ways was a model. 'About once a month the oblong piece of buff colored paper that was slipped under the basement door by the gasman would bring a frown to Mr. 's brow, but he would only caution the hired girl to turn down the gas when not using it. A few nights ago a "s'ciety" meeting had called the gid out before she finished washing the dmiror dishes, and she hadn't returned when-the family retired for the night. ^Mr. had a protracted interview with his enemy, the sleep killer, the same night and could find no rest. In vain he thought over all his misdeeds and counted 100 backward and forward several times. Sleep wouldn't come, so, after tossing about until long after mid­ night, he finally got up and sat at the window. Happening to look down in­ to the yard, he saw a streak of light glinting from the basement shutters, and he thought of burglars. Creeping stealthily down thjt stairs, he heard dishes, so he went back up to his room. Then he got mad at this wanton waste of gas, and going to the speaking tube yelled, "Put out that gas and go to bed!" It was the first time there had been an occasion to use the tube since the new girl came, and she hadn't been introduced to it before. A smothered exclamation in the kitch­ en, the noise of a chair knocked over and pans rattling to the floor were followed by a scurrying up stairs, three steps at a time, arid the badly scared colored wo­ man gathered her few belongings in her room and made a rush for the front door. Air. tried to intercept her, but she was thoroughly frightened and wouldn't stop. "Lemnie go, boss; lemme go. I wouldn't work heah any mo' fer all the money in the treasury. I was washin the dishes down stairs jes' now and a loud voice come right through the tin pan I was jes' hangin up, and it said, 'Put out dat gas and go to h--1' I know this house is haunted, and I wouldn't work heah any mo' for nuffln." And she wouldn't. The next evening in the "want" column of The Star was an ad. for a settled colored woman to do housework up at some hundred and something Thirteenth street.--Washing­ ton Stqj.

The Largest One In the World In the British Museum. The Chinese department of the Brit­ ish museum library contains, says a writer inCassell's "Worldof Wonders," a single work which occupies no fewer than 5,020 volumes. This wonderful production of the Chinese press was purchased a few years ago for $6,000 and is one of only a yery small number of copies now in existence. It is an en­ cyclopedia of the literature of China, covering a period of 28 centuries--from 1000 B. C. to 1700 A. D. It owes its origin to the literary pro­ clivities of the Emperor Kang-he, who reigned from 1662 to 1722. In the course of his studies of the ancient liter­ ature of his country Kang-he discovered that extensive corruptions had been al­ lowed to creep into modern editions, and he conceived the idea of having the text of the originals,reproduced and pre­ served in an authoritative form. This was a mighty conception truly, and in its execution it remains unique down to the present time. For the purpose of carrying out the work, Kang-he appoint­ ed a commission of learned men to se­ lect the writings to be reproduced and employed the Jesuit missionaries to cast copper types With which to execute the printing. The commission was occupied for 40 years in its great task. Before the work was completed Kang-he died, but he had provided that his successor should see the book completed, and he faithful­ ly carried out his trust. The book is ar­ ranged in six divisions, each dealing with a particular branch of knowledge. The divisions are thus designated : First, writings relating to the heavens; sec­ ond, writings relating to the earth; third, writings relating to mankind}/ fourth, writings relating to inanimate ̂ nature; fifth, writings relating to^phK losophy; sixth, writings relating toVJjjo- litical economy.
