A phenomenal ooourrenue, ootbiug leBB than the apontaneoaa uombaation of the haman body, ia olaimed to have taken place recently. Dr. Booth reports the case aa foUowBia the lintisli Medictil Journal : On the morning ot Sunday, February 19th, I waa aent for to examine the remaina of a man, agelj5, a penaioner of aotoric.dy intemperate habita. I found the charted remaina of the man reclining against the atone wall ot tha hay loft. The main efiecta of combaation were limited to tho oorpae, and only a amall piece ot the adja- cent duoring and the woodwork immediately above the man'a head had aafCered. The body waa almost a oiQilsr, yet retained the form of the (aoe and flgare ao well that those who had known bim in life could readily recognize him. Both banda and the right foot bad been burnt off, and had fallen tbroogh the door into the stable below itmong the ashes, and the charred and calcined ends of the right radius and ulna, the left bnmeroa and the right tibia and dbula were exposed to view. The hair and scalp were barnt oif the forehead, ex- poaing the bare and calcined skall. The tisaaea of tha face were repreaentcil by a greasy cinder, retaining the cast of the featarea, and the incinerated mastacheatiU gave the wonted military expression to the old soldier The soft tiasnea were almost entirely consumed. On my return from other work, later on, I found that the whole had been removed. The bearetH told mo that the whole body had collapsod when they had tried to move it en masee. From the comfortable recumbent attitude of the body, it was evident that there had been no death struggle, and that, stapetied with all tha whisky within and smoke with- out, the man bad expired without suffering, the body burning away quietly all the time. Children's Luncheons ua Excursion. I offer the experience of one family bop ing it may be ot use. (Jur children had nut lived many years before we were convinced that grown people oannut judge of the ap petite of the young, so we resolved that they should ucver be denied food when they asked for it, and concluded that gcod brown bread was leaat likely to hurt them I do not think we should have allowed a child to eat all the time, but we were never trouble' I in this way. When the children were young we had a large three. seated " carry all, ' into which we used to pack and drive to woods or streams within ten milea, and spend aa many hours as they were interested and happy. A can ot milk, dry bread and fruit waa the only lunch they ever had or wanted. Viaiturs who aometimea went with us used to think it rather unkind treatment, till they aaw with what hearty appetites the bread waa eaten and realized how harmless bread crumbs are. Uu« afternoon their father took two of them, about >> and U years of age, to another part of the country, and, returning, had to wait a few minuti^s at the Broad atreet station. The children complained of hanger aud were taken into a restaurant, where the waiter vied with their father in olforing tempting oakea. In vaiu, nothing suited ; till, some- what out of patience, their father asked, " Well, what do you want '!" " A piece of bread, " was the meek reply, and thu waiter had a very dingusted expreasiuu as each child turned away with a half loaf uf bread and a contented face. Even amall chiMren can bo taught that eating in public is scarcely permissible, but plain bread, pro- perly eaten, annoys others as little as any- thing can. Would it not bu a good idea fur grown people, too, to look upon their picnica and daya of "outing" as op[iar- tnnitiea to enjoy the country, to get uxer- ciae and fresh air and to be satisfied with broad 7 -Itubelln in I'hiladelphiii Lcilijer.

It is not often in thia generation of self- reliant and independent young men, that the aon will allow the father either to chooae or pay much attention to bia own choice of a young lady for matrimonial purpoaes. But Mr. Edy I?. Uaviland, of Boston, Ont., had faith in hia father's nx'ieP.ent judgment, and will now pin that faith tighter than ever upon this pater, for he baa re- cently married the girl of his father's choice and thinks he could not have done half AO well for himself. It appeara that some time since, Willis Haviland (the father), who ia a member of the religious sect called Plymouth Brethren, waa on Manitonlin Island preaching, and while at ^lanitowaning met a Mies Maggie Elliott, young, amiable and good looking. Ue fancied her for a daughter- in-law and in a short time had hia aon in oorrespondence with her. Aci)uaintance ripenecl into aome sort ot a tender afiection, and an engagement and wedding followed. The young man, who ia but '22 years of age, had never seen his betrothed, but he went for her about the tirat of this month, married her and brought her to hia home in Boston about a week ago. The reception waa pleasant to all con- cerned and the newly married couple had several incidents of their trip to relate that were amusing. The difficulty in pro- curing a marriage certidcate was their first trouble, but that was overshadowed by tho exchange of Mrs. Haviland'n trunk, containing besides clothing, the certificate iluly signed, sealed and delivered. She has a trunk full of gentleman's apparel that she would like to exchange fur her own. The young people received a large number of lovely presents, and the bride has already found that there are warm hearta in UoBton open to her.

An old cotton cloth is laid on the outside uf the coat, and the iron paesed over that until the wrinkles are out ; but tho iron ia removed before the ateam ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are removed by laying a wet cloth over them, and passing the iron over that. If any shiny places are seen, they are treated aa the wrinkles are ; tho iron is lifted, wliilo the full cloud of steam arises, and brings tho nap up with it.
