During 1836 eight bodies were incinerated, and | ineach successive year to tho end of 1891 the numbers were, respectively, 17, 16, 23. 30 and 87. In this temple everything possible has been done to mitigate the sadnces of the last ritual. The temple is built of dark brow:? sandstone and its square tower and deep, slanting root are covered with ivy and surrounded by sloping lawns.

He admitted the soft impeachment at once, but urged that, inas much as he had sold the whole family to another man before the alleged desertion, he acquitted of all responsibility for_ their maintenance. It was nothing to him whether their purchaser provided for their wants; the jaw had better see to that. For himself he had duly received 3 half-pence, the amount of the purchase money, and there his interest in the affair began and ended. During 1859 a paragraph went the round of the papers to the effect that a man connected with a religious body in a village in the mid- land counties had disposed of his wife for the small sum of 1 shilling. — oe WOMEN WHO OWN DIAMONDS. A Constant Source of Worrlment—Strange Places of Concealment. Women who own diamonds have them always on their minds and generally on their bodies, says the Evening Sun, They go about the streets like traveling safety vaults.

It was in vigorous operation until a number of years ago, when it became a dead letter. The first of the month orders were sent out to charge for interrogation marks.
