Exactly how to dispoae of the ashes of
the dead in the most satisfactory -Manner,
after-creniation is accomplialiedi is still a
question. Theancient practice Was to de-
posit the ashes in afuneral_nrn, to be pre -
'served in a tomb . Or other sacred.. place.
This. is also • the modern custom. .But' if
teroba are Va.-be required. then there is not
- Much need tor cremation,as the. --corpse
may as well be buried in the tomb with-,
out...cremation. A recent American patent
consists in providing a parlor bust of the
deceased, cut in"marble, and making a.
" hole intheback of the. bust, .-wherein the
• :•aahes are to bedepositedafter. cremation
. of the body. A furtherimprovenient, sug-
gested by otie of our .lady correspondents,
. is to prepaia3-a. wet -- mixture- of cements
for artificial -stone or marble, andsprinkle
the ashes:of the deceased. into the mixture,
which as then to be .cttat or pressed into
the forhi of busts, stataettesi or other
objects. In this way Varidua members of a

IS KISSING. BRIBERY
Tho MacWhittle,of Whittlemuir, was not,
as every one knows, a rich man when he
left his native town of Fashkirk some thirty
years ago to seek fortune in Australia, but
he was uncommonly well- off when he re-
turned about two years since, and announ-
ced his intention of contesting Fashkirk at
the next election. He had bought the
estate of old Lord Whinanbeg, whose
shepherd he had been in the days of " auld
Lang syne," before the noble lord had taken
to speculatieg in Turkish bonds; and he
had brought with him from the gold dig-
gings a hearty, sunburnt Irish wife and a
jovial troop of grown-up sons and daugh-
ters.
uliar Chancery. Court Case Tried
• - - at St. Cathitrkies..*:
The sitting member of Fashkirk was at
that time another MacWhittle, who called
himself the only genuine MacWhittle, and
hastened to deuounce his new clansman
from Australia as a spurious imitation.
Lord Whivanbeg, however, who was the
chief of a younger branch of MacWhittles,
naturally gave his preference to the Aus-
tralian MacWhittle; so that the MacWhit-
tle who sat for Fashkirk had his nose put
altogether out of joint. What is worse,
many of the pious folks in town accused
the good -man of having lied to them, or
telled them lees, in having so long palmed
himself off as the only genuine Mac -
Whittle. The -M. P. was rather prudent
with his money, whereas the ex -Australian
scattered his about in regular handfuls,
like corn seed from which the sower ex-
pects a good crop.- It soon became evident
that the new MacWhittles would carry
everything before him at the polls, and. so
it proved, for -when Parliament was unex-
• pectedly dissolved in the spring of the
present year the new. MacWhittle wrested
the seat from his r-ival by a niajority of
about 100 votes.

"No, 1've- ants' 'enough of thase young
leddies," exclaimed . the con:vizi, amid
general merriment. "I'd rathei' call the
defendant's son," and he called. Dugald
MacWhittle, the new M. P.'s firstborn.
This young gentleman, on stepping into
the witness box, amid general ee,citendent,
created an impression almost adavorable
as his sister had produced; indred it was
more favorable so far as the femal.e part of
the audience was concerned, thengh some
of the barristers noticed that a fhw of the
Fashkirk dames who had been 0,ccommo-
dated with seats on the bene* fidgeted
rather uneasily when the lia,ndscipie laddie
kissed the book. Dugald was a young fel-
ow of 22, who was just then hol*g a com-
mission in the militia preparatorAto getting
one in the dragoons. He had a frak, mirth-
ful face and eyes which sparkleilike sap-
phires.
"Yon will tell the whole trOth, if you
'please," said the petitioning ;ea:tinsel, en-
deavoring to browbeat him.
" It shall be as you pleaseal retorted
Dugald,smiling; and he too likAis• sister,
drew out a list. a,
-" What, have you been up to atie kissing
game, too ?" inquired the cotin,e1 in dis-
gust; but as the time for his crostaquestion-
ing had not come he waved hi,9 hand as
though to intimate that he woul# demolish
this witness ,when the other eMmsel had
done with him. _
" So that is the. list .of theladie) on. whom

But thereupon the elder MacWhittle was
wroth, and vowed that the election had:
been woe,. by " corruption and braiberee."
He filed a petition, and in due course a
brace of judges -came down in state to try
the same in the little justice court of Fash-
kirk. Now these judges are both very hard-
headed, austere Men; with .no taste for
joking and no grasp 'of humor. The senior
one, Old Lord Drapinthee, .cocasienally in-
dulged -in a glass of whiskey attei4.diniaer in
Oonvivial company, and would anaile under
-the infinenee of this potation, but he never
spilled at other times. The junior one,

" Aweel, it's not a case of conscience,

had not tasted sherry for terr years. "1-
