BuRIALs IN SWITZERLAND.
Outgrowth of the Belief That All Men Ar


Equal.
There is at least one country in the
world where it costs nothing to die
In some of the cantons of Switzerland
all the dead, rich as well as poor, are
buried at public expense. Coffins and
all other necessary articles are fur
nished on application to certain under
takers designated by the government
Everything connected with the inter
ment is absolutely gratuitous, includ-
ing the grave and religious service.
All classes avail themselves freely of
the law.
Appropriations are made for the
medical inspection of the body, for adj
vertiSing the corpse. for the funeral
procession and funeral, for the coffin
and dressing of the lcarse, for open
ing and closing the grave and for put
ting up and numbering the head board.
Furthermore, the grave must be or
namented by growing plants in a
modest way at the expense of the com
munity, but the bereaved family has
the privilege of adding To such decora-
tions. A special law provides for the
payment of subsidies by the cantonaI
government to the communities in
eases of epidemic.
In the canton of Glarus strangers as
well as citizens are buried at the ex-
pense of the state. The grave. too,
must be kept in proper condition for a
term of ten years. The cemetery is
the property of the community and is
placed under the care of a superintend-

nerals, keeps register of the graves,
which are numbered cOnsecutivelv,
and sees that they are properly marked
and kept in order. The cofiins are to
be made of pine wood and after a
model prescribed by the authorities,
who establish a uniform price for
them. The graves follow each other
in regular order, according to the date
of burial. in uniform rows, and the
dead are all laid side by.side without
distinction as to standing in life or re-
ligious belief. Children, however, on
account of tie smaller size of their
graves, are buried apart from the
adults. In case religious services are
dispensed with by request bells are
tolled in the customary fashion. and
the recorder of the life statistics reads
at the grave the personal record of the
defunct. Officials and employees at
burials are forbidden to receive gra-
tuities Wherever free burial has been
introduced in Switzerland the principle
has been adopted that. inasmuch as
death makes all men equal. there ought
to be no distinction in the interments
of the departed 1t is assumed that all
citizens high or low, rich or poor, will
avail themselves of the provisions of
the enactment. and that all funerals
shall be equally plain and unostenta-

PatGhogue, N. V, Aug. 3.-Two white
throated black snakes made a portion
of this afternoon lively for three city
young men and for Mrs. Charles Coch-
rane and Miss Nellie Rogers, who were
out rowing on a stream that flows frota
Patchogue lake.
The three men were near the head Of
the stream and within two hundred
feet OF the marsh on the east side. Two
big black snakes darted from a yellow
tutt of grass and crawled into the
water.
The young men screamed when the
snakes reached the boat side. The fe-
male snake put her head on the edge
OF the boat and tried TO crawl in. The
men drove her Off, and with her mate
she put back for the marsh.
About this time Mrs. Cochrane and
MISS Rogers rowed upon the scene.
They ventured too near the edge Of
the marsh, and the snakes swan into
the water and attacked their boat,
Both women screamed, but Mrs. Coch
rane prepared for the fight. When the
female snake raised her head from Tho
water she was struck a terrific blow
on the mead with stick In the hands
or Mrs. Cochrane. The bull snake now
reached the boat, and Mrs Cochrane
not caring to fight two snakes at once
sat down and rowed for the shore she
Just reached 1t as the female snake
managed to get itself into the boat
Both women jumped ashore, and Mrs
Cochrane picked up an oar and finally
