Show WILL MAKERS' WHIMS. The late T. Bcvun, one timo M. P. for Gravescnd, who directed in his will that his body should bo cremated and the "ash residue ground to powder arid, again burned and dissipated in tho air," is one of many men (and women) who have made equally remarkable arrangements ar-rangements for tho disposal of their mortal remains. An angler who died recently directed di-rected that his ashes should be carried car-ried in a bait can, and scattered from a boat over the surface of his favorite stream; Mrs. Ernlc-Erlc-Dtclx directed that her body should bo embalmed dnd placed in a glass paneled coflin, for the reception of which a circular mausoleum with stained glass dome was to be built; while, at his own wish, tho body of one of 'the Lords Ncwsborough, after 12 months' interment, was exhumed nnd rcburicd in Bardsey island, the reputed resting placp of 20,000 saints.
