Books, Reports, Etc., Received. 
A very handsome pamphlet has been 
issued from tbe Mount Hope Cemetery 
Association, Chicago. Intended for 
prospective purchasers, it is beautifully 
illustrated and printed, and contains 
price lists and suggestions, most at- 
tractively set forth. 
* * * 
The National Irrigation Association, 
from its St. Paul office, has issued some 
printed matter consisting of newspaper 
editorials and interviews on the subject 
of tbe giant strides now being made in 
the development of the arid spots of the 
Western states. Some of the stories are 
almost incredible, but there is now no 
question but that the irrigation projects 
of the Government are going to do 
literally marvelous things in extending 
civilized agriculture to large sections of 
the country hitherto considered scarcely 
fit for man or beast. 
* * * 
Easton Heights Cemetery, Easton, 
Pa., has issued a neat illustrated 
pamphlet, historical and educational, 
giving information on the methods of 
the management, explaining the rules 
and such other matter as will interest 
not only the lot owners themselves but 
prospective purchasers. The cemetery 
consists of 30 acres and was dedicated 
on January 12, 1891 ; the idea of the 
cemetery was conceived and the 
grounds selected by Mr. Henry W. 
Merrill, wbo has been its superintendent 
from that day to this.

The modern card system of record is 
adapted to the requirements of Moun- 
tain Home Cemetery, Kalamazoo, Mich. 
The cards are 9^4 in. by 4 in. ; on the 
face are ruled spaces, ten squares to the 
inch, for plat of lot and location of 
graves, beneath which is space for in- 
formation concerning deeds, etc. The 
back of the card is ruled and printed 
for burial records. This card properly 
filled in and kept up to date obviates the 
necessity of a visit to the secretary’s 
office and research in the official deed
