Cremation.

The Cremation Society of the City of
Berlin, Germany, has published its an
nual report for the scar 1880. from
which it appears that the number OF
members increased from thrty-three 10
l01. and that the applications for mem-
bership are coming IN fast. The report
also states that il Is not merely the OBJ
iect of the Society TO cremate human
bodies. but also to prevent the dreadful
danger of burying persons alive. Sci.
entiBc authorities, rs well as practieing
physicians, have proven the fact that
there is but one positively certain sign
that death has occurred, and that is
general decomposition of the body; all
other signs are. without any exception,
very predetermined. and no absolute re-
lance can be placed on them. In
stances are on record where people in
state of trance did not awake even
when their skins were burned with red
hot iron rods. If the pulse is entirely
imperceptible. if breathing has appa-
rentlv ceased altogether even to the ex-
amining physician, if the limbs are stiff
and cold. if the opening OF a vein draws
no blood-still these signs are not sure
and reliable proof OF death. and the
possibility still exists that the patient is
living in trance The indications gen
eral decomposition do not appear on
MANY corpses until long after the legal
limit of three days, which the body
must be kept after death, has expired.
From scientific sources we know that,
in the course OF twenty-five years, there
were $50 cases of trance discovered in
Amsterdam; in Hamburg, l07 in five
years; in New York. six out of 200
(half per cent. were found in a trance;
the Humane Society in London has dur
ing Twenty-Five years restored 3.l75
persons who were in trance to life
DR. Bomber. of Paris, mentions fifty
three instances during his practice in
that city where the bo,.ies showed signs
of returning lite while they We're in
their cotiins. The remains in fifty-two
collins dug up in two condemned and
abandoned graveyards inside the limits
of the CITY of Paris showed mmistaka-
Bile signs of having been buried alive.
This fact becomes evident when the
remains in the coffin are found in a
position which demonstrates the des-
perate exertions made to gain freedom
from the terrible Imprisonment. II the
figures in the case of New York above
mentioned are applied to Germany
there would be about l5i persons buried
alive annually in that country.--C Chicago

During the Vienna Exhibition an amiable
Hungarian merchant happened to meet in

merchant, heartily; sits to be hoped that
your son-in-law's business will improve.
Goodbye, sir, come to see us, and bring
your daughter; we shall be happy to make
her acquaintance" The train arrived at the
station at that moment and the traveller
whose son-n-law's business was only 'pretty

The facts connected with the newspaper
press Of Japan are even more wonderful than
those of the book trade. The total number
of newspapers and periodicals is not less than
two hundred and fifty. In Toxic there are
some ten daily papers (not inclrding prices
current), and among them is one named after
its editor, and others entitled Worldly News.
Alphabet, Roaming and Spelling, Daylight.
as well as News, Post, and an Adv vertiser.
They also have several comic papers, after
the manner of Punch and Puck, and various
magazines devoted to the advancement Of
agriculture and other national interests.
While there have been no material changes
in the press law of Japan within the last few
year. The government would appear to be
much more lenient than it was formerly,
and editors may now speak their minds some
what after the American fashion, which,
according to the Constitution and the Senate
Of the United States, may be considered the
leading luxury of modern civilization.

British Free Traders, who hold that trade

that this cardinal principle of their economic
creed is fast losing supporters. So long as
there YVES a fair prospect that the doctrine of

England but at present there are few British
manufacturers who would not employ retala-
tory duties to compel France and other
countries to lower their import duties. Mr.

direction the political current will be against
