BURIAL CUSTOMS.
Vide Differences EUen in the Same
COuntrV.

Men differ much dead alive. AS various
as the languages of the living the methods
of buryiEg the dead. The very abodes Of death
differ among different people, and one may find
striking contrasts between cemeteries of even
the countries.
Not far from this city there is a Mo
rayian cemetery, in which the men are buried
side of a central walk and the women
Oh the other. Only fiat fagstones mark the
graves. In a New-Orleans cemetery bodies
a-c buried beneath mounds above the ground
bee aUse the water in the soil is so near the sur
face
In London until recently sections were accus-
toned to bury coffin above another in
grave, and then heap on more earth to make the
tiers still higher. In Paris even at the present
tine, the poor are buried in trenches and crosses
i.c placed at their heads to mark their resting
p.ates. At the end Of five years, however un-
less money is forthcoming from relatives the
ere IS is torn up five feet of earth are
added and another set of graves begun in a
higher stratum
In Frankfort the body of the dead is removed
life is extinct to ''Ieichen hausen' or
death houses, where it rests until the first signs
OF decomposition appear. Such a death house
consists of a warder's room, with five death
chambers on each hand. A ring on the finger
OF each body is connected with a bell, and
should one rouse from trance that had been
mistaken for death he could summon the war
der. Since Frankfort has had death houses
several young girls have been rescued from
being buried alive. Munich has a similar sys-
tenn
In Russia many of the peasantry still bury
their dead in grottos and caves, just as their
princes and noblemen accustomed to do
centuries ago. In Constantinope, as in other
Turkish cities, bodies are placed in the ground
as soon the last spark of life has fled The
Mussulman believes that as long as the body is
unburied the spirit is in torment and that it is
a crime akin to murder TO molest a grave. Ac-
cordingly the cemeteries around many Oriental
cities far exceed in extent the abodes of the Iiv-
ing.
one Of the cemeteries of Damascus is believed
to contain many members of Mahomet's family.
Like the other graveyards of the city it is near
city gate. Like the rest it is of great area. These
mounds are made of brick and mortar and the
headstones denote the sex of the graves occu-
pant. If a woman, there is a carved palm leaf;
if man, turban. Those who were rich or dis
tinguished rest in stone vaults, rooted like
mosques.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Oct. 22.-"Billy'
Brockaway, whose reputation, once
worldwide, shrunk to the small meas
ure of the city hospital walls, has laid
down his violin and bow forever.
After an illness lasting over two
years, during which time he was the

stitution.
Brockaway was SO years old. In the
early days he was leader of number

HAVE
URGED N. P. TO BUILD

Interest in railway circles has been
perceptibly centered during the past
few days about the projected North
ern Pacific branch line from Palouse
into the white pine belt. A survey
ing party is now going over the line.
A dispatch from Palouse gives the
following additional information con-
corning the project.
PALOUSE. Wash. Oct. 22.-For
several years it has been expected
that a branch road would be extended
from Palouse up the Palouse river to
the heavy timber belts east of here.
Since the purchase by the Potlatch
Lumber company, branch of the
Weyerhaeuser syndicate. of the big
sawmills at this place this talk has
been revived and the close relation
ship known to exist between the
Weyerhaeuser syndicate and the
Northern Pacific railroad leads to
the belief that the syndicate has in
duced the Northern Pacific to build a
branch road into the timber. where II
owns more than 100000 acres OF
heavily timbered lands.

from this place a water grade car
