&2o(Y)en ~ By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX fOopyrlght, 1814, by Star Company) To build a house, with love for architect. Ranks first and foremost in the joys of life. And Jn a tiny cabin, shaped for two, Th» space for happiness Is just as great As hi a palaoa. What a world were this S each soul born received a plot of ground, A tittle plot, whereon a home might rise. And beauteous green things grow. We give the dead. The Idle, vagrant dead, the potter's field; Tet to the living not one inch of soil. Nay, we take from them soil, and sun, and air. To fashion slums and hell-holes for the race. And to our poor we say, "do starve and die As beggars die; so gain your heri tage.'* I That was a most uncanny dream; I thought the wraiths of those Long buried in the potter's field in shredded shrouds arose; They Baid, "Against the will of God We have usurped the fertile sod. Now will we make it yield." Oh! but it was a gruesome sight to see those phantoms toil; Each to his own small garden bent, each spaded up the soil (X never knew ghosts labored so), Each scattered seed, and watched, till lo! The Graves were opulent. Then all among the fragrant greens, the silent spectral train Walked, as if breathing In the breath ol' plant, and flower, and grain. (I never knew Ghosts loved such things. Perchance it brought back early | springs Before they thought of death).

( A hard-working l woman, who main tains her family by doing day's work. In which the launder ing of linen plays a largo part, recently asked one of her 'patrons for advance wages. She desired the money to use In paying for a carriage in which she was to follow the body of a brother in-law to the grave. It was her duty, she believed; It was the custom among her friends, and [ ehe felt she could not refuse to do her part toward showing "respect for I the dead." Her cellar was not well provided j with coal; her children were not as I well clothed as she could wish; her j own need of a good dentist cried I UNDESTANDING By CONSTANCE CLARKE HER path is rough and stony, not a way Where climbing roses unmolested stray Sho leads across the hills and through the night. Bearing aloft her precious gif t of sight. And she ia stooped and old, no fair young maid. Holding your gaze with clear eyes unafraid, And of the multitude that lag behind Only a few may know that she is kind. And you who wander with her never know, So deep you quaff the cup of human woe, , That just beyond the hills that rise above Are spread the plains of fragrant human love. But when you come to know her stony way, Hold fast her hand and trust li er whispered stay, And then return to her and deem it gain; Then shall you know that you have walked with pain. lOii/ TheH ° m ii i parto7 l Dolly: I made my faded "stringy hair take on its natural color again and become soft, fluffy and brilliant by shampooing with canthrox, a teaspoon ful of which I dissolve In a cup hot water.

But she was, nevertheless, a slave to tradition, and to an absurd custom, and her four hardearned dollars must be paid for a carriage, to make the funeral procession im posing. One hoars people of the toiling class oftimes describing with ex cessive pride the casket and the elaborate trimmings which have been given to the dead. And one sees and hears equally ridiculous things in all classes done and said regarding the last rites for mortal clay. Everywhere we see precious land which ought to be used for the sus tenance of tho living given up to un sanitary grave yards. One hundred years from now ceme teries will not exist in their present form. There will be gardens and parka whereon the ashes of the dead will be scattered, and there will be memorial halls, where urns rest in niches containing ashes of tho dead. Bodies of dear ones will no longer be placed in the earth to pollute it and to suiter a slow rotting process, prejudice In the minds of the en lightened. The advent of cremation is pre historic; but we have authentic re cords of this method disposal of the dead co-existent with our earliest history , and we may trace the cus tom down through the Middle Ages throughout Europe and Asia. The customary procedure was the open funeral pyre, where wood was piled around the dead human body and many hours passed ere the effect sought was imperfectly accomplished. Later inhumation was again Intro duced, partly because of the deci mation of the Bupply of the forests and partly by a vague idea that there was some relation between the dis posal of the body and Its resurrection at the Judgement Day not stopping to reason that In a few years the last vestige of that body must return to its constituent elements. The first crematory of modern times was built in Milan, Italy, after the year 1854, and was the result of an effort made by Jacob Moleschott, an Italian Senator of German descent. And Catholic Italy has since made the greatest progress in this line until very recent date, when our own filr land takes the lead in this reform as in deed it does in most cases where hu man liberty struggles for advance ment. Germany Vas second to stretch out a hand to save her people from the [corruption of tho grave, and crema -1 tion was established at Gotha first, and later in many places throughout the Empire. England has awakened to its ad vantages and instead of resistance from the English aristocracy, we find her noblemen endowing crematoria in many parts of the Empire, and the system is received by the Church of England with open arms. Her priests are making such changes in the burial ritual as shall make It more fitting to the new and better custom. France is not behind in so desirable a reform, and since its establishment muddiness und all roughness or red ness of skin. Christine: For your sallow, pimply skin, which indicates a lirer upset, you should make up and use the old-time kardene blood, kidney and liver tonic, ihis is prepared by pouring one ounce Kardene into one half pin alcohol (do not use whisky) and then adding one naif cupful sugar and hot water to make a quart. Take a tablespoonful before meals and your skin will soon be clear and beautiful. The kardene tonic is good for most bodily pains and aches, because It eliminates from the system the poisons causing them, and its timely use frequently prevents seri ous sickness. Cella: You say "I am a slave to my powder rag." Why not try this fine liquid beautifler? It is lasting in ef fect and economical, besides being fine to whiten and tone the skin and rid it of sallowness or blemishes. Get 4 ounces of spurmax, add two teaspoon fuls glycerine and one half pint hot water or witch hazel. This makes a big quantity and is far better than the ordinary face powders. It will be very becoming and will seem like a part of your skin. Millicent: Don't be frightened into buying eye glasses before you really need them. It is better to strengthen the eyes than to aid their weakness J or some years I have used this simple home-made tonic which has both beau tified and strengthened mine: Dissolve an ounce of crystos in one half pint of water. Two drops daily, or several times daily, will give relief to tired or aching eyes and soon make them clear and sparkling. Betty Dean's Beauty Book, ss.—Ad vertisement there the municipality of Paris has taken hold of the matter in earnest I and the city's unclaimed dead, as well as all remains from the public hos pitals and medical schools, are cre mated, while galleries with series of columbarlums and receptacles for urns are provided, and since this auspicious beginning crematoria are becoming . popular throughout the country. In Denmark and Sweden and Switz erland the good work is being car ried on. Crematories are springing up, and further than this, in all these countries strong societies are banding themselves together to promote and carry out the Idea of cremation and tho good work is fast coming into pop ular favor throughout the Old World. In America the practice of crema tion was prevalent among the North American Indians before the advent of the white man, and we have records where true poetry and a very high re gard for all that was sacred and pure led these people to believe that this j method came nearest to the pleasure of the Great Spirit. But it was not until the year 1876 that the scientific genius of America turned toward the crematorium, and then we find Dr. P. Julius Le Moyne, of Washington, Pa., constructing a crematottum pri marily intended for the incineration of his own body, but as he now savs, "having started the reform, he feels that his apparatus and labor were not in vain and that they thus have ac complished their mission and will leave the work to more pretentious followers." Now we find the idea ex panded until crematories are working their beneficient ends In all the lead ing States of our land, as well as Canada. The bodies of thousands of our own people are thus escaping corruption and the sentiment is rapidly growing among the societies with strong mem bership and broadening Influence. Thus the steps are being taken that shall eventually give this great move ment Its true place In the customs of all people of the earth and prove a mighty factor in the uplifting of man kind. Cremation offers a reverent and of-* fenseless method of the disposition of our dead. It is consistent with the tenderest sentiments of human love, with the requirements of science, the teachings of religion and with the highest culture and wisdom of the times. . The rapidly Increasing demand for cremation over inhumation shows that it appeals to the thoughtful as cheat ing corruption of its prey, the grave of Its terrors and substituting a meth od founded on reason, kindly and prompt, clean and sanitary. Choose for yourself. Weigh the evidence of thok cleansing fire, bright, pure, rapid. The sanitary urn, safely visited by friends in whose keeping it is, or the grave, the cold, moulder ing, worm-eaten skeleton-decaying and contaminating earth, water and air, until the process is finished and the form Is burned up by the slow and Impeded action of Nature; for decomposition, decay and fire are all one, and the only difference is the speed with which the combustion goes on. Benton Stabbed to Death, Official Report Washington, D. C., March 19.—The facts in the case of William S. Ben ton, the British rancher killed at Juarez, will be made known in an official report to be given out shortly. According to this report, Benton went to Juarez to get Villa's permis sion to bring some of his cattle out of Chihuahua for sale In Texas. What had not been known heretofore, how ever, is the fact that Benton sought to make it worth while for the rebel chieftain to let him get his cattle out, offering in return for this permission to see that Villa got a certain amount of arms and ammunition. This proposal, it is reported, was favorably received by Villa. Discussion of the precise terms of the arrange ment, however, led to a quarrel be tween the two men. This quarrel ended in Benton being killed, not by a revolver, as was previously reported, but by stabbing. Benton was attacked with knives by those in Villa's office during the discussion and not a shot was fired. He was stabbed in many places, and after he was dead his body was mutilated in the unspeakable manner of frequent occurrence in Mexico. Whether Villa personally aided in the stabbing of Benton is not definitely known.
