then, until Jan. Is, this year, 1878

any crematory in the world, the one
in Long Island showing list of less

in death, keeps her dread of fire.
The crematory proper lies below the
ground and thirty steps lead to it.
There is a furnace in which the gas
necessary for incinerating is generated.
Adjoining is the small chamber, built
of brick, in which the coffin, with the
body, rests on a CRATE. There is a pipe
conducting the gas into the crematory
and regulating apparatus permits the
increasing or the decreasing Of the rate
at which the corpse is reduced to ashes.
The usual time required for the pur-
pose is 21a hours.

GERMANY AND CREMATION.
The Crematory in Gotha Is the Only
One in the Empire.

The Crematory in Gotha Is the Only
One in the Empire.
In Germany the authorities and the
church both refuse to countenance the
establishment of crematory or to
allow the friends Of cremation to place
Irns with the ashes of their
dead in any part Of the cemeteries.
Hence the fact that the crematory in
Gotha has remained the only one in
Germany to this day. 1t is but a few
weeks ago that a Mecklenburg pastor,
having delivered funeral grafton over
the body Of a Mecklenburg leader in
liberal thought, the delegate to the
Reichstag, Witte, preparatory to the
incarceration of the remains, was tried
by the Lutheran consistory of that
grand duchy and deprived of his cler-
zeal honors and functions.
The furnace at Gotha was ready in
1876, and in the spring of 1873 building
operations began, after plans furnished

that time considerable trouble arose

rarely for cash. and there is seldom any
lease or contract or memorandum. Be
tween white and black men such papers
are unknown. The unwrltten laws OF
leasehold are the same all over this sec
ton. and have been unchanged since the
war. Business follows Il universal GUS
tom and is conducted entirely upon faith
and the knowledge of the habits OF men.
There are one-mule farms and two-mule
farms and four-mule farms. Area is not
measured by acres nor by the labor OF
men. but by the number of mules employ
ed.
negro rents from his old master or
his landlord as much land as he can cult
waite with one mule, and the annual rental
is one bale of cotton. If he has two mules
he takes as much land as he can cultivate
with them. and the rental is two bales OF
cotton. and so on. A one-mule farm is
usually about forty acres, and two
mule farm from eighty to a hundred acres.
A man can cultivate more than twice as
much land with two mules as with one,
because he has two or three hands" to
help him. and their combined effort can
accomplish more than if they are working
INDEPENDENTLY. Men, women, boys and
girls work in the fields together, and they
plow also with steers, cows and helfers;
but in estimating the rental nothing but
a mule or horse counts.
In addition to the land the tenant re-
ceiyes credit from his landlord, or from
some supply store upon the latters IN

A Chicago Dog and His Se1f-Sacri-

Jack, a Scotch terrier, saved several
lives Monday morning, but he perish
ed. He died the death of self-sacri-
ficing hero, and his master, John Ca
mus, buried him with honors near the
scene of his exploit.
The Camus family live in two-story
frame house. Jacks bunk was in a
corner of the kitchen. Sunday night q
lamp was left burning on the kitchen
table. While everyone in the house
was asleep the lamp exploded. Burn
ing oil was scattered in every direc-
ton and in few moments the house
was filled with smoke. 'Jack's'' bark
ing did not seem to awaken anybody,
so he ran upstairs. He jumped on his
masters bed and awakened Mr.. Ca
mus, who was partially overcome by
smoke, but at once realized his danger.
By that time the smoke had become

so dense that it was with the greatest
difficulty that MI. Camus got his wife
and children outdoors.
In the excitement Of the moment
Jack was forgotten. 1t was supposed
that he had got out, but, when the
blaze had been extinguished, his
scorched body was found near the
kitchen door. He had been suffocated.
Jack had been the pet Of the family
several years. His master feels that,
but for the dogs remarkable intelli-
gence, the family would have persisted.
