Disposal of the Dead.

In the practical application of his theories Moleschott animadverted on the prevailing customs of burying the dead in permanent cemeteries, where their bodies decay with no advantage and often with serious injury to the living ''H every place of burial" he says, "after having been used year, should be exchanged for new one, it would become in the course of six or ten years 8 most fertile field which would do more honor to the dead than mounds and monuments But, he adds, it would be still better if we could return to the ancient custom of burning the dead, which he declares to be unquestionably more practical as we'll as more poetical. By this process the air would be made richer in oarbonio acid and ammonia, and the ashes, which contain the ele- ments of new crops of cereals for the nurture of man and beast, would trans form our barren heaths into luxuriant plains. At present, he adds, we are act- ing like the stupid and slothful servant who buried his one talent in the earth instead of wisely investing it so as to gain another. Science Month 1xy

Rescript by Walton, 1.-THE plaintiff
worked for the defendant during the
season of 1895, and this is an action to
recover compensation for labor. The de-
PENDANT does not deny that she once owed
the plaintiff for the labor sued for; but
she claims that by his order, she paid
the amount due him to her daughter, or
to her daughters husband, in part pay
ment for horse which he had bought
of them. The plaintiff denies that he
bought a horse of them, or either of them.
He SAYS that he contracted to buy a
horse Of the defendant, and agreed to turn
his wages in part payment for the horse,
and that her sOn-in-law afterwards
claimed to own the horse, and came
with an office and took him away, and
the result is that ne has neither the horse
nor the pay for his labor, and it was
urged at the trial that the evidence dis
closed plan to defraud the plaintiff out
of the horse and his summers work !;
and it seems as if the jury must have
taken that view of it, The evidence was
conflicting; the case appears to have been
fairly and carefully tried; no reason is
apparent why the evidence claimed to be
newly discovered, if true, could not, by
the use of due diligence, have been dis
covered before as easily as after the trial !;
and upon the whole, it is the opinion of
the court that the verdict is one that
ought not to be disturbed.

thought of the old days. and sadly adj

was on the dragsrope, and he wondered
how it was that the fremen tolerated the
boys who, like himself, were ambitious
of figuring as fremen. Col. Dow told
story after story and fairly brought down
