flow to Enjoy tlfe.
To enjoy life docs not mean going or
staying. If yon can watch a treo grow
ing, a flower blooming or tho bluo sky
deepening; if you can listen to a gooso
squawking along a dusty lane, to a pul
let cackling over a first egg. to a sleepy
child crooning herself to sleep with a lit
tle tune; if you can watch a cow licking
her calf, a young mother suckling her
babe, and tuko a big interest in all tlieso
things, feeling in the marrow of you
their meaning and that t hoy area true
part of lifo'a sweetness and simplicity,
why then I think you may truly answer
''Yes, oh yes," when one questions you
"Do you enjoy life, good sir?"
It is not a good habit to be bored of
things, to cultivato ennui. Every day
tho sun comes up and shines, and hearU
beat and eoplo aro born, and some die
and soma marry and some hato and
more lovo, no who are you and what aro
you to strut around like a fool of a tur
key gobbler tho week before Thanksgiv
ing and say you aro torcd and life is too
dull for your palate? After all you fill
no moro spaco than a fool takes on the
eidowalk or under tho green grass; bo bo
careful how you venture to draw about
you a circle of cxclttsivcncss. Bo careful

Dlaponltlon of the Dead.
Tho disposition of tho dead is attract
ing much intention in England. Tho
question is being agitated by tho English
Burial Reform association. During lato
years thcro has been moro or less dibcus
slon on this topic. Tho objection to tho
present modo of burial is based on two
grounds. First, tho sanitary reason, and
second, the financial cost. As funerals
aro managed in tho present timo they aro
expensive nnd fall with much weight
upon tho poor, who arc as fond of mani
festing their respect for tho dead by largo
funerals as aro tho rich. A medical
authority in London declares that tho
average cost every year for burying tho
dead in England and Wales alonu is
$25,000,000. Tlila would mako tho
averago expense of every funeral nlout
f 50. In tho United States it cannot bo
any less.
The sanitary objection is based upon
tho reports of sanitary authorities that
communities living in tho neighborhood
of graveyards suiter from ailments to
which thoso who livo a distance from tho
placo of burial aro etraDgora. Disraeli,
in tho houso of lords, for this reason
urged that nil tho God's acres in Great
Britain should bo closed. Theso reasons
aro making many converts to cremation.
Tho liest ovidenco of tho growth of this
idea is to bo found in tho strength of tho
International Cremation congress, which
-was held about a year ago in Milan.
Tho roll included representatives from
every part of tho civilized world. De

1 remember somo yeara ago when I
'had charge of trains on a southern road,
where telegraph offices wero fow und far
'between, of giving an order to tho oper
ator at n certain station to hold tho north
bound iKissengcr train for orders, bo that
I might help tho houMi bound passenger
train to make its meeting ioint, tho latter
being Bomowhat lato. Tho operator re
peated tho holding ordor, for which I
gavo lilm O. K. I then gavo tho south
bound train an order to ttso somo of tho
north bound train's time to mako tho
meeting Kint. Instead of holding tho
north bound train for orders tho oper
ator lot it go by him. Tho road was
crooked, nnd as both trains wero be
tween telegraph stations 1 started to walk
tho floor nnd wait until 1 should hear of
their coming together. Tho suspense was
terrible, almost unfitting mo for my other
duties. As good luck would havo it, tho
north Iwund (rain, which had undisputed
Tight of tho road, was delayed boforo
reaching tho meeting point. When tho
first train reached a telegraph statiou I
felt relieved, but tho strain had been so
terrible on my nerves that I was not good
tot much for several days, and tho oxm
rlonco of that morning will over remain
in my mind. Train Dispatcher Inaiobo

A dear, benevolent old gentloman gavo to
an enfant terrible a fltio goat. This was a few
Hav.o aero. The vountrstur was ti;iiira!lv do
lighted with his pot. Ills gave t vaguely
to his friends and enemies that ho was trail
ing an animal which would boa terror to the
neighborhood. Doubtless tho goat would
have proved a very disturbing element In
society if its youthful owner had not trained
it a trifle too flno.
It catno about in this wise:
Tho goat and of this there Is no doubt
stood badly in noed of a washing. Tommy,
as its owner may bo called for tho occasion,
Is not generally overfond of washing, but ns
regarding goats ho was an ardent lover of
cleanliness. Ho ho got a garden hoso and
attached it to a hydrant. Then ho tied up
tho goat securely and played upon it till tho
animal's hulr was as clean as the streets of
Pittsburg will bo at tho millennium.
Then Tommy fell to communing with him
self. "If," reasoned he, "tho goat was so dirty
outside, he must bo very far from clean in
sido." This seemed concluslvo to Tommy's com
panions, and they consented to hold tho goat
whilo ho effected the internal purification.
Tommy inserted tho nozzlo of tho hoso Into
tho goat's mouth.
It is a painful subject.

A4-ycar-old miss lately created a good deal
of consternation, not unmixed with amuse

had been ou a visit to her grandfather, and
whilo thero was in tho habit of playing with
him as ho lay, half asleep, on tho sofa. Ono
day, as her chubby Angers glided caressingly
over tho old gentleman's scant locks, ho mur
mured drowsily, In reply to somo infantilo
remark: "Yes, I'm your poor old bald headed
grandfather."
Ono evening not long afterwards, a young
old bachelor was making a call on tho family,
towards a certain member of which, only 18
and decidedly pretty, ho inclined with very
tender feelings. Into tho pleasant circlo
where tho bachelor sat flashing bright noth
ings of society talk, entered tho 4-year-old.
Unseen by tho gentleman sho sauntered
around tho room inspecting him, and gazed
with especial interest on his polished scalp
which gleamed in tho light of the chandelier.
Buddcnly, with a burst of ingenuous socia
