TO USE GRAVES OVER AGAIN
Aster Twenty Years Provision Of the
New German Law Govern.
lnn Cemeteries.

Berlin.-Statistics show that the
average grave In Berlin 10 cared for
by loving relatives for less than ten
years. consequently the term Of pccu.
pancy by the departed has been re-
duced in Wilmersdorf from thirty to
twenty years. Thus is provision made
to meet the increasing demand ON
cemetery space in q large and grow.
ing city, and q leeway Of eight years
still allowed for the protection Of the
feelings of those who remain behind.
This applies to adults. The same
ruthless statistics show that the
graves Of children are looked after for
a lesser period. and consequently they
may be occupied for twelve years
only.
One of the largest graveyards Of
Berlin is at Wilmersdorf. The twen-
ty and twelve year periods of tenancy
already prevail in the Berlin munich.
pal cemetery. the mounds then being
leveled of, any memorials removed
and the graves made ready for other
occupants.
The authorities that unless some
such course as this Is followed all the
land in Berlin available for burial pur.
poses would be exhausted In twelve
years. The tardy authorization by
parliament last year Of cremation may
check the demand for cemetery space.
but probably not to any great extent.

History of Tea.

The earliest record of tea being
mentioned by an Englishman was
probably that contained in a letter
from Mr.. Wickham, an agent of the
East India company, written from Fir
apdo, in Japan, on June 81, 1915. to
another officer of the company. resi-.
dent at Macao, in the south OF China.
asking him for "a pot of the best sort
of chaw." 1t was not until the middle
of that century that the English began
to use tea. They received their sup
plies from Java until 1856, when they
were driven out by the Dutch, says
the Bulletin of the Imperial Institute.
At first the price in England ranged
from 96 to $40 per pound. In the
Mercurius Politicus of September.
1868, occurs an advertisement Of the
China drink called by the Chineans
Tcha, by other nations Tay. alias Tee, y
being sold in London. Thomas Gar
way, the first English tea dealer In
1859 or 1860, offered it at prices vary
ing from 15s to sos per pound. Not
until 1917 is there a record Of the
East India company having taken any
steps for its Importation.
