 Cremation appears to be steadily, if slowly, gaining ground in this country. There were one hundred and eighty-seven incinerations at the Fresh Pond crema- tory on Long Island last year, according to report just published, and since De- cember, 1885, there have been 6S9. A steady increase in the number for each year is noticeable, with the exception of 1887, and the number for the past year, considerable advance.
 The general results of the official test of the Lauffen- Frankfurt transmission of power plant have been made public, al though some of the details are still lacking. The Electrical World gives @ brief sum- mary of them, and it appears that the eff ciency, measured from the turbine shaft at Laufen to the secondary terminals of the transformers in Frankfurt, was about 75 per cent. Of the loss of 25 per cent. no less thnt Il per cent. was in the line, per cent. was in the dynamos, and the rest in each of the transformers. This is really remarkably good showing. "There is still," adds the Electrical World, Ca question of how the efficiency will fall for smaller loads, in which case the charging of the line becomes more important matter. In large plants, however, it is the efficiency at full load which is of importance, and not that at small loads."
 And now it is the Japanese who are get ting themselves disliked on the Pacific coast. The subjects of the Miksdo are aocking to the Pacific coast in numbers that excite discussion concerning their welcome as immigrants. The newcomers have their friends, but also their uncom- promising enemies. The latter say that they have all the vices peculiar to Oriental nations, and that they land under contract to work for small wages on the farms and railroads and in the restaurants. These immigrants so skillfully evade questions on this point put to them by government officers that the conclusion is that they have been prepared for the ordeal. It is said that they have no idea of remaining in the country after having saved a sum of money which in Japan is small fortune with the poorer classes. On the other hand, their defenders say that the Japanese laborers do not smoke opium, that they soon adapt themselves to our customs and style of dress, that they are invariably neat and civil, and that they show a will ingness to join our trades unions and keep up the rate of wages.

IN NIEMORIAM,

It is sweet to be remembered, and there are few who do not wish, when life is done, to have their names and merits kept in mind by some fitting memorial. It is also sweet to remember, and most people in civilized lands consider it pious duty to place above the narrow cells in which their friends sleep stones with inscriptions on them which bear ample testimony to the worth of the departed. There is, it must be admitted, considerable sameness in the way people have of perpetuating the memories of those who have gone to "the pale realm of shades, ,"but occasionally there is an outburst of originality even in the performance of this solemn duty. An instance of what car be done by anybody who knows how has just appeared in New Jersey town, where good deacon died of cholera morbus after eating his memory should be kept green if it was in her power to do it, and in addition to suitable stone in the graveyard she has had made a memorial for her parlor. Under a large glass case is an enormous silver plat ter. On this platter, arranged in regular order, are portions of meat, vegetables, watermelon, cucumber, ice cream, pie, etc., moulded in wax. They represent, as nearly as possible, the exact quantity of each of these articles that the deacon ate the evening before he died. They stand on the platter in just the order that the real articles were consumed by him. Scattered through the solids are goblets full of wax, colored to represent the cider that the dea- con imbibed during the same dinner. Each wax imitation is perfect and looks as though it were a real piece of meat or DOT ton of fruit. The quantity represented is large. On top of the glass case is little arch made of solid silver. Above the arch is the silver figure of an angel blowing a trumpet. Suspended from the centre of the arch is tiny tablet of white marble, on which, in deep black letters, are en,
 graved the following words: "This is what
 the deacon died of"
 Anything better calculated to keep the
 deacon's memory green than this could
 hardly be devised. It is simple and graphic. And incidentally it reveals some
 thing of the widow who caused it to bt
 made. She is probably not gifted as {
 writer of spring poetry, but it is safe te
 bet that she can cook spring chicken.

COTTON.

SOA AONs
 Cotton is about cent a pound higher than the lowest price touched this year, but the planters and others interested in the prosperity of the South are anxious. prove disastrous. It is said that there will be falling off of 25 per cent. in the area planted this year. Some see hope in re- duction of the cost of raising cotton. It has been thought that six or seven cents a pound was as cheap as cotton could be raised, but R. T. Nesbitt, Georgia's com missioner of agriculture, says that under proper treatment cotton land in his State can be made to yield bale or more to the acre at cost of 3A cents. He supports his statement by figures from the accounts of Floyd county farmer, who gives the detailed cost and profits of raising crop from twenty-eight acres. The land had been owned by it's present cultivator seven years and has been devoted to corn, oats, peas and clover, being plowed and we'll fertilized each year until the past two or three. Upon this field was raised last year thirty bales of cotton, with seed cotton and cotton seed which in the aggregate brought the farmer $11 ,1s5.- 90; the cotton selling at 74 cents pound. The total outlay-which includes all items of labor, fertilizers, bagging, ties, ginning and carting-was $63S 36, which left a profit of s547.54. Colonel Corput, the farmer who made this crop. estimated the cost per acre of land titled at $22. .s2, and the profit per acre s19.53, and is confident that by following his method other farm CTS can do as well. Conirmatory results are reported from the agricultural expert ment station of the State, and from an other farmer in Troup county.
 Of course most planters would not know how to do as we'll as this, but they could perhaps reduce the cost of their cotton cror considerably. If the conditions that surround them do not change they will have to raise cotton cheaper or turn to something else.
