Fertilization VS.. Cremation.

The advocates of cremation must look
to their laurels, which appear likely to
be wrested from them by German sa-
want, DR.. Won Steinbeis. His proposed
method of disposing of the bodies of
the dead provides against injury to the
living, while it offers no violence to the
feeling which shrinks from destroying
the corpse of beloved friend or rela-
ton. Decomposition is, of course, an
inocuous process, provided it's results
cannot infect the air. DR.. Won Steinbeis,
therefore, proposes to cover the body
with Roman or Portland cement, which
hardens into solid mass and renders
the escape of noxious gas impossible.
According to this plan the corpse would
be placed in q sarcophagus of already
hardened cement, the cavity in which
it reposed would be filed up with the
same material, and both would harden
together into thick slab of a substance
resembling stone. Thus the deceased
buried in this manner would rest within
instead of underneath his tombstone,
and grave and monument be comprised
IN the same block of imitation granite.

A Bird's-Eye View of the Black Hills.
[Cor. chicago Inter-Ocean1

lOoA' SA1CagO 1utef-Ocean.J
Let me express, briefly and simply. a
blrdseye view of the Black Hills: Take
position on Bear Butte and look
southWard you can see fifty miles or
more over succession of interlying
valleys, cutting the surface into dim
ples' ana wrinkles, and deep brown
scars; let your minds eve
reach further, and add what you
remember to have seen from
lnyan. Kara on the west and Harnev's
Peak on the east, the other two corners
OF triangle that will cover the best
portion OF the Black Hills. Around
lnyan Kara were long, wide valleys.
stretching into slopes and miniature
pralrles, with here and there a gyps11m
bed lutting out, white and clear. lest
the eye should tire with the constant
green. Around Harney's Peak, sharp,
rugged scenery, steep granite noun
talns, and rocks that are as imposing as
the mosques of the Bosphorus. Mar
row, coy valleys, full of flowers and as
cool as grottoes rushing, babbling
streams, and miniature cascades, as If
the little brooks of the hills were try
to ape the noisiness of the mountain
torrents. And the whole cluster, this
beauty spot on an almost barren. totally
desolate prairie, embraced by the two
arms OF the Shyenne.
The Black Hills do not cover an area
much larger than one-half of Massachu
sets. A line drawn directly through
from north to south would not measure
more than 100 miles; another line from
east to west would be less than so. The
sides of that triangle I alluded to do
not measure more, than 40 miles; and
the majority Of the intervening terri
tory is wooded hills. The best way of
entering the hills, if you ever want to
go to the gold fields, my reader, is to
come here, to Bear Butte, and follow
Clusters trail. 1t took him long time
to find a way out, and it will take you
longer to find way in, if you attempt
it in this region. Another entrance can
be made at Inyan Kara, at the south
west, if you start from the Union Pacific
railroad, and you will find gold almost
from the very start. Gypsum i'll come
first, then mica, then the velvet valleys
with their golden lining. These two
courses are the most feasible, but of
course trails may possibly be made else
where. The extreme southern ranges,
the ranges of the east and northwest,
are almost impossible because of the
steep declivities and the abruptness of
the foothills.

The DEVILS Workshop.

Impotence of monotony is weak
ness to which must be attributed the
troubles OF two individuals who, accord
ing to German paper, travelled in the
same train on one of the principal lines
to Berlin. One of these, a tailor, found,
on taking his place in a fourth car
rage, that it was too crowded to admit
even of his sitting on his own bundle.
Being tired and sleepy, he contrived, by
skllltul maneuverlng, to get close to the
partition which divided the carriage into
two compartments, and lean his weary
back against that friendly support.
Here he slumbered uneasily for some
time at length, to the great astonish-
ment of the other inmates of the com
partment, he bounded into their midst,
exclaiming, IT am stabbed p AS the
party had all been as quiet and orderly
as possible, this seemed incredible
but the train having stopped at a sta
ton, the poor tailor was led out upon
the platform by his fellow-passengers,
who, to their great CONSERVATION, dis
covered that he was indeed bleeding
profusely from small round wound in
the back. Meantime, hole Of similar
size and shape was found by the
railway servants in the partition against
which he had leaned, while from the
compartments on the otker side, of it,
was dragged, with blanched lips and
starting eyes, the author of the murder
Gus attack still holding the fatal weapon
"a gimlet. The quasi assassin proved
to be carpenter, who had no worse in
tention than that Of beguiling The tedium
Of his journey by the exercise of his
craft

taking mental inventory Of the number
of people in the room the newcomer
stepped up to the bar and blandly or

now sought the floor, three men cleaned
their mouths of tobacco, and all looked
at the bartender as he filed the glasses
and placed them in row on the bar.
When everything was ready the three

4 Walking Miracle.

n. II.
Dear Sir-Though q stranger, I want to inform
you what VEGEFINE has done for me.
Last Christmas, Scrofula made it's appearance
IN my system-1arge luunlng ulcers appearing on
me as follows One on each OF my arms, one on my
thigh, which extended to the scar, one on my
head which eat into the skull bone one on my left
leg, which became so bad that tive physicians
came to amputate the limb, though, upon consulta-
tion concluded not to do so, as my whole body was
so full of Scrofula they deemed It advisable cut
the sore, which was painful beyond description,
ana there was a quart of matter run from this one
sore. The physicians all gave me up to die, and
said they could do more for me. Both of my legs
We're drawn up to my seat and it was thought if
did get UP again would be cripple for life.
When IN this condition VEGETINE adver-
tbs ed, and commenced taking it in March, and fol-
lowed on with it until had used 16 bot les, and
this morning am going to pillow corn, a well man.
All my townsmen say it is a miracle to see me
round walking and working.
In conclusion will add, when I was enduring
such great suffering from that dreadful disease,
Scrofnla,I prayed to The Lord aboveto take me
out of this world but as VEGETINE has restored to
me the blessings of health, desire than ever
to We, that may be OF some service to my fellow
man, and know of no better way to aid suffering
humanity than to incIose you this statement of my
case, with an earnest hope that you will publish
1T, and 1t will afford me pleasure to reply to any
communication which may receive therefrom.
am, sir, very respectfully, WILLIAM PAYN.

HEAVY ribbed black silks will be very
fashionable next winter.

on the left side.n8.ea 9ovaf sf oas-a f.
HOUSE dresses of silk are to be cut in

The fashionable style of dressing the

very thankful. s.ll is< '
LESS gold jewelry is worn now than
for many years past. Jet, Swiss wood,
ebony and coral appear to be the. most
fashionable just at present. ~.ar.. !.
LONG shawls of black cashmere trim

the back are very fashionable and very
stylish.
TT is no longer the correct thing to
wear a long scarf of Spanish net about
the neck. Of course this does not ap-
ply to shop girls and housemaids.
THOSE old-fashioned Grecian head
bands are coming in vogue again, to the
intense delight of those dowagers who
happen to have them on hand.

SCROFULOUS HUMORS.

If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purity
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after frying different physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not
elusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the circu-
latipg fluid. 1t truly be called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source Of disease orig
mates i'll the blood and no medicine tnat does not
act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has
any just claim upon publ attention. When the
blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either fir M
change of weather or climate, want of exercise,
irregular diet, or from any other cause, the VBGE
humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels,
and impart a tone of vigor to the whole body. The
conviction is, in the public mind well as IN the
medical profession, that the remedies suppl ed by
the Vegetable Kingdom are more safe more success
fu' IN the cure disease than mineral medicines.
VEGETINE is composed of roots, barks and herbs.
It is pleasant t. take, and perfectly safe to give
an infant. In Scrofula the VEGETINE has per-
formed wonderful cures where many other rene
dies have failed as will be by the following
