james Redpatb, of Buchanan coun-
ty. Iowa. tried an experiment to de-
termine the time of the year at which
wound. made in pruning are covered
hest and mo-t speedily. A branch
one inch in diameter was cut from a
tree of Rawle's Janet on the first day
Of each month in the year, and at the
end Of five years. when all were heal
ed over. they were opened and found
to have decayej the least in those cut
in February and March. Tor just be-
fore the swelling of the buds. and
most in those cut in June and July, or
during the growing season. while the
latter had the advantage of being clos
ed one year the earliest. Another
similar experiment was tried on the
Yellow Bellhower, and at the end of
fur years all were healed over; on
opening the places where pruned, the
same result was found, except slight
difference in favor of February and
July. In these experiments, the de-
cay from summer pruning was about
three times rs extensive Ms from that
performed in the winter months. Root
pruning for dwarfs always ruined the
of the tree.

To yield up our lives for the nd-
vanccment of Science is something
tina, few Of us would be willing to do,
but to yield o-rbojies rs n sacrifice
on the altar Of truth and knowledge,
after we no longer have any use for
them, is not very hard thing; and
therefore We are no; surprised to read
that society has been formed in Par
l., the members OF which bind them
selves, by special testamentary dis
position. not to he interre after death.
Their b~lics arc to be delivered to the
dissecting rooms of the various medi-
cal schools for dissection.
The cremation fever Of 1884, &C.
complished something in the way Of
making people more Indifferent to the
disposition Of this earthly tabernacle

they never have been before. We are
not AFRAID that the whole world will
follow this exsmple, and flood the mar
ket with useless curpses. There will
still remain these who desire On old
fashioned burial. The scarcity OF
subjects in many countries at the pres
ent time, the attendant necessity Of
working on those in an advanced stage
of decay, AMI the premium offered in
some localities to body snafchers are a
few of the reasons that may be advan-
ctd in favor Of the formation Of mu-
tual dissecting societies. One Of the
great objections urged on moral
ground against cremation, that il
would shield crime by destroying it:

section. The first duty of the student
into whose hands the body fell, would
be to determine beyond doubt, the
cause Of death. IF this fact alone did
not deter the poisoner or malpractice
ioner from his neiarious work. il would
ut least, have the effect Of bringing tn
light many crimes which are now hid
