A Republican Pie Story.
GWaterberry Americana

Blaine used to tell a story to express
the feelings of Republicans toward the
administration of Mr.. Hayes, but it ap-
plies better to their feelings regarding
his own nomination. A party of young
men were camping out in the Maine
woods. One was selected to cook, and
it was agreed that the first man who
complained of the cuisine should as
sumo the duties of cook himself The
fare was simply atrocious, but all held
their peace with an effort. One day
some pie was served that was thought
more villianious than anything that
had gone before it. The man at the
head of the table looked around upon
the faces of his companions, and it oc-
Cured to him that a condition nearer
akin to rebellion was pictured upon the
face of his vis-a-vis than upon the
countenance of any other Of the unfor-
tunates. Addressing him sweetly, he
said: "What do you think of this pie?"
With the utmost emphasis the reply
came III think it is about the blank
blankedest pie that | overland then
the recollection of the agreement flashed
across the speaker, and with beaming
countenance and tone of demoniac de-
light, he hastened to add: "But I like

the water, that the mortality ofLOndon
furnishes annually $1,000 dead bodies
weighing 5000 tons, the final disposal of
which is one of the llyeliest and most
perplexing ofthe great eity's sanitary
problems-a problem which the reform
ers put in the shape of the eonundrum
of how to get rid of the dead without
endangering, the living. Cremation
presents itself as the solution of this rid

in favor of its rapid transit processes.
There is very concise way ofputting
this mortality question, which 1 have
somewhere seen, and which made q
sharp impression on me. Here it is;
Given. a dead body: to resolve it into
carbonic acid, water and ammonia, and
the mineral elements, rapidly, safely,
and not unpleasantly. Decomposing
bodies evolve large amount of car
bonic acid and ammonia, and an often
sive putrid vapor-all dangerous tC
human life. The fire-burial secures
sure immunity from all these similar
terrors which have ever been connected
with the common modes of interment

BURNING AND BURYING.
Cremation Slowly Gaining Favor in
H&# S sE England. R8 &
[Boston Comm ercial Bulletin

HHAH II
S# 3 [Boston Comm ercial Bulletinl
Twenty-four miles from London, in
the town of Woking, the traveller in
England sees the tall chimney of the
only crematory that has been set up in
England. The density of the popula-
ton in England, the crowded condition
of her cemeteries, and the growing SEN
timent there that some means for dis
posing of the dead without injury to
the living must be devised, led to the
organization of this Woking crematory
company and the construction at a cost
of $4,000 of this body-consuming fur
mace. Yet, after all, up to this time,
not body has been cremated there,
though its fiery chamber wasconstruct-
ed ten years ago, and though all at
tempts to make out cremation to be an
illegal act have utterly failed in the
English courts.
Cremation, under the working plans
of the Woking company, is an expen-
sive method of going to the grave, for
ten pounds sterling does not more than
cover the expense of one of these scien-
tifically arranged confagrations. 1t is,
however, quite apparent that the time
is coming when cremation will be more
popular in England; and popularization
of fbody-burning will cheaper the ac-
cepted processes.
Under the present burial laws of Eng
land, and with the existing scarcity of
grave-yards there, it is quite expensive
to go through the process of an old
style grave-burial. English statutes
provide that each. dead adult shall be
entitled to four superficial yards of
earth, and in common practicei it takes
about q quarter Of an acre of ground for
the burial of every thousand persons.
Burials in England are generally made
at depth Of from eight to ten feet, and
made with the understanding that the
grave can be reopened in fourteen years
in case of adult burials, and eight years
after burial of children. a.5
