Cremation Gains Fever.
The prejudice against cremation is
wearing away, as the records of the
Montreal Crematorium prove.
Up to date 126 bodies have been cre-
mated, and the disposition to use this
method of disposing of human re.
mains is growing:
The crematorium itself is one of the
sights which the tourist is never al-
lowed to forget by thehack-driver.
Curiosity in respect of it would not
stop at the beautiful vestibule, filled
with flowers and lordly pains, but
would penetrate to the chamber where
the cremating processes are carried
out:
This .wasnoticeable recently when a
body was being p ed for the fur-
ngce room.. of lady tour-•
ists entered: into th . ner rooms and
mingled with the sorrowing relatives
of the deceased, following these as
they followed the coffin to the plat- •
form. Attendants, however, quietly
but firmly asked them to retire, and
• the connecting door was shut
Everything about and inside the
crematorium is inviting. The situa-
tion is delightful, commanding, as it
does, a glorious_ view of, the surround-
ing_ country, while all the. appoint
silents are such as are calculated to
soothe sorrowful• feeling.
The passage to' the inner chamber
is through a splendid conservatory
filled. with the choicest blooms and
exotic plants, whose fronds reach to
the high glass dome:

Then the attendants remove all the

door of the '•'furnace.
It is then gently pushed, in. The

Sir Gilbert Parkei. Canadian novel-

his to say with regard to the forth-
coming celebration at Quebec:
"It is not," said he, "the celebration

the minds of the. Canadian. people.

the battlefield of Quebec, `on •the
