w y-* F I > i ¥ y \ A * I f / I K U Mr. Tilton is passing now, he tells his friends, the most peaceful and contented years of his life. It is three years since he domiciled himself In Paris, and he will probably end his days there. He has* a floor in a grand old mansion, once the home of the Dues de Nemours, an ancient building on the lie de Paris, back of Notre Dame, in the very heart of historic asso ciations. Here he spends much of his time, writing, reading, living happily within himself. For the rest, he is free to dine wherever his vagrant fancy dictates, to And companionship wherever he chooses. Most often he is to be met late afternoons at the Cafe Kegence, one of the very few of the famous pre-revolution resorts which the Haussmannization of the right bank of the Seine has left intact. Here for a century and more have the best chess players of Paris assembled. Alfred de Musset was a habitue, and many of the older men remember him well. A far more distinguished frequenter of the Regence—w’ om few enough of the company can re .all having seen even in his later life—was a certain keen eyed, aquiline nosed young lieutenant of artil lery, M. Napoleon Bonaparte. A little metal tablet is set into the dark marble of one of the tables recording that here the future emperor was wont to sit and school his mind for Marengo and Austerlitz in the mazes of chess. I fancy that no dreams of fame or of especial achievement come now to Mr. Tilton. The work upon which be is engaged is understood to lie ephem eral in character—done as much for the aake of occupation and mental relief as anything else. His chief interest is to like hiB life and to keep it smooth, uneventful, restful, within the compass of simple de sires and pleasant associations.—New York Times. J Cockroaches on the Kace Cour««. ‘ Bet you $10 on my bug!” ‘‘Five to two on the little ’un!” Such were the cries that greeted the ears of a reporter as he pasSbd the door of a Cadillac square saloon and caused him to turn back and enter. It was a curious sight that met his eyes. On the floor were drawn two concentric circles with chalk, one six, the other about twelve feet in diameter. Within the inner circle stooped two men who held each a teacup, bottom upward, on the floor, their rims in contact and as near the middle of the circle as possible. Between the inner and outer circle stood a flashily dressed man with an open watch in his hand and with out the outer circle were eighteen or t wenty excited spectators. “Are you ready’” asked the man with the watch. ‘‘We are,” answered they of the cups. “One, two, three, go!” said Uiu tune- keeper. . The two men in the inner circle simul taneously raised the cups and stepped be yond the line, revealing two cockroaches, one considerabftntry to <*’»’ the other.

The crematory is very simple, yet nevertheless, effective. When a corpse is to be cremated, it ia first removM from the house through the hole in the roof, or through an afterture made in one of the walla by removing a log, (it is bail luck to carry it out through the door) and carried to a funeral pyre of wood built in the form of a hollow rect angle. mensuring four feet long, four feet wide, ami from three to six feet in depth. The corpse ia bundled into the pyre, which a then lighted. Dry cord wood is then thrown In on top of the corpse until the opening is filled. The relatives sit around the burning pile four or five hours until everything is consumed. The cremation is always complete. The ashes of the dead man. and of course more or less wood ashes, are gathered up, placed in a wooden box and carried to a little grave house, as it is called.”—Lieut. H. T.
