Where Our Dead Go.

Maj. S. Harris, one of the Australians who fought in the South African war, visited British Columbia and finally settled down in Vancouver, says the Argonaut. Now he tells of a man in his province who went over to see London for the first time last year and was being shown through Westminster abbey. He got into conversation with a tourist agent who was showing a party about and at Intervals the man who was explaining asked the British Columbian questions about Vancouver. “I suppose that in your country you have no place like the abbey?” he suggested. "No,” replied the other. “Then what, may I ask, do you do with your illustrious dead?” “First," replied the British Columbian, “we appoint a commission to see whether the man- is really dead, and then if the commission decides in the affirmative, we send him to the legislature.’’
