To pessimism, sunshine always gives s headache, and rain a coldConfidence neryes an arm for a stroke, but cock-soreness gives it a wild aim. Marrying for love doesn't seem to torn out such a lot worse than marrying for money. A woman wants a well-dressed man for a suitor, and a well-hehaved man for a husband. A girl can't help feeling suspicious if she's going to be kissed when she goea out on a dark porch with a man, even if it's her father. If a man owes a lot to hie wife, it's because she is a poor collector. It's one kind of tough lock to strike oil when boring for water.

BUDDHIST CREMATION. ! | Tbo Funjpml Pyro and the Disposition of tho A*heai A Buddhist cremation Is" it strange j and uncanny event, uud It Is not often | that a foreigner Is given to witness one. I saw some of tbe preliminary ceremonies'At tv temple In south China., but fouud riyself apparently becoming pen ionu nod gruta as the tluie for the cremation proper approached uud did not care enough about seeing It to in- ( trude. 1 have since heard and read sovopuI descriptions* u? the grefoome' ceremony. * ' , ? . .1 The priests are dresses! In white sackCloth. similar to that worn by the mourners ut the funerflls of the lay-! men. and their brows are l>ound with ! white bandages. The corpse, dressed j | in a cowl and with the hands fixed In .an attitude of prayer. Is placed In a j Sitting position in a bamboo chnlr and j carried to the funeral pyre by some of ' l his fellow monks, all the other monks of the monastery following In a double line. As the procession advances the walls of the monastery echo wfth the chanting of prayers and the tinkling of cymbals. When the pyre is reached the bearers place the corpse upon it. and the fagots are kindled by the head priest, and while tbe Dames are mounting the others v prostrate themselves In obeisance to tbe ashes of their departed brother. When the fire Is burned out "the attendants collect the charred bones and place them in a cinerary urn, which is often deposited- In a small shrine within the precincts of the monastery, to remain there until the ninth day of the ninth .month, when the ashes are sewed up in a bag of red cloth and thrown Into a sort of ossuary or monastery mausoleum.? Lewis It. Freeman In Los Ange'?? Times. THE FIRST SOAP. According to Plinyv It Was In Ui^ Amona th'o Qaul* Who invented soap?' According to Pliny, soap wag an invention of the Gauls, who used It for giving a bright hue to the hair. Ho also states that it was employed by tho Gar mans both as a medicinal and as a cieanstng agent, two kinda being wed?hard add oft. There la reason to believe thqt It was introduced l*to Germany by the Romans, though on this point there is ome,difference of efdalen. Homer tells t? tn the "Odyssey" that Nauelcaa. daughter of Alcloous, king of the P ha ?clans, and her attendants washed clothes hy treadiag upon them with their feet In pits of water, so that apparently she and ber servants were unacquainted with the use of soap. The fact that soap was obtainable by boiling together oily or fatty substances and alkalis was known at an j early period of history, but it must! be borne in mind that the substance referred to in the Old Testament and translated "soap" (Jeremiah 11. 22, "For though thou wash thee with niter?properly, natrou?soda?and take thee much soap.'1- and Malachi Jv. 2, | "For he is like a refiner's fire and like fuller's soap") refer to the alkali itself and not to the substance* prepared from oily bodies and these alka- , line matters. The French word for soap (savon > i is supposed to have been derived from the fact of its'having been mano- i factored at Savona. near Genoa. The manufacture of soap began in London in 1324, before which time it was supplied by Bristol at a penny1 per ponnd. A duty was imposed on! soap In 1711. but after several reductions was totally repealed in 1853.? ?London Journal. Washington Monument Bent by Heat. The towering Washington monument. solid as it is. cannot resist the urut ui me suu jwureu on its Bouiaern \ side od a midsummer's day without a slight bending of the giggntlc shaft, j which is rendered perjbptibie by I means of a copper wire 174 feet long j banging in the center of the structure^ and carrying a plummet suspended in j a vessel of water. At noon in snmmer j the apex of the monnment, 550 feet j above the gronnd. Is shifted by expansion of the stone a few hundredths' of an inch toward the north. High j winds cause perceptible motions of the | plummet, and in still weather delicate | vibrations of the crust of the earth | otherwise unperceived are registered by it Blood Thicker Than Some Water. "Blood is thicker than water"? thongh not much thicker?and not so thick as sea water. The water of the ocean contains thirty-five parts of saline material a thousand, while the vital fluid of the human body contains but seven parts a thousand or onefifth as much. In the human body each of its myriads of cells is bathed with this aeveti-tenths per cent saline fluid.?Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. : The Comebaok.
