Many practical inventions of mod

Some time ago the Virginia state

patch of territory belonging to North
Carolina.
A section of land thus transferred
included tumble-down cabin, where
dwelt an aged colored woman.
An inquisitive neighbor, calling to
see how the negress enjoyed the idea
Of becoming a Virginian in her old
age, began the conversation by ask
ing:

''Bettah, praise de Lawd!" was the
reply.

This strange fraternity had its In
cept1on at Hahnemann College. in
this city, in 1873. During the thirty
one years of it's existence it's weird
teachings and practices have been a
profound secret. It's members at the
end OF their probationary period take
an oath hal silences their tongues
forever. :
The life on this earth is enjoyed to
IT'S utmost by them. At the end their
colleagues, attired in long white sur
glcal gowns, gather about the bier on
which lie the earthly remains of their
friend. The spirit they know has de-
parted, and the clay that is left is
given over entirely to science. Their
theories are augmented by this grew
some gift. When they have finished
the rites are said. At a crematory all
that remains is given over to the
flames. The doctor that was is re-
duced to a handful of dust.
DR.. Fred w. Wood. former SUI
preme encephalon, acknowledged
that the fraternity was for the pur-
pose OF autopsy and cremation. 1--WE
believe in three Degrees" said DR..
Wood. They are fraternity, which
means the real fellowship on this
earth; autopsy after death. which
helps all mankind, and cremation.
which puts an end to the earthly
she'll that remains after the spirit
has flown"
What Is done at the autopsy?"
was asked.
Il cannot say" replied DR.. Wood.
Our oaths are solemn. What we do
to the body is all in the interest of
science. 1t does no harm and it ad-
vances our knowledge
WHAT'S the fraternity's belief In
regard to cremation?" was asked.
We believe that cremation is pro-
per. The body is but clay, and soon
er or later becomes but a handful of
dust. When 1t is given over to the
fire all is ended. The translation OF
'Ustion' means fire."

Chicago. = A strange secret OF
~thirty-one years standing was re-
vealed when more than a score Of
prominent Chicago physicians and
surgeons admitted that they were
members of the Ustion Fraternity, a
society having for it's object the dis
section of the bodies Of it's members
after death and cremation of the re-
mains.
This weird fraternity, to which
only members of the medical profess
sion are admitted, is Of national
scope. Its headquarters are in a
we'll furnished clubhouse at 1892
Lake Park avenue.
Chapters exist in New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit
and other cities. It's membership is
taken from the ranks of the most
prominent practitioners in different
parts of the United States.
Each chapter is known as a verte-
bra. The Chicago chapter, being the
first organized, is called the Prime
Vertebra." It's high officer is known
as the "encephalon," and it's next
highest officer is the "medul1a." It's
other officers are named for other
parts of the human body.
The members OF the fraternity
must undergo a preparation or ap-
premiership of four years before they
are admitted to full knowledge Of its
weird rituals. During this period
each must study some physiological
or medical problem entirely. original
