Cremation. There are several pre cesses used tor cremation, Tho Siemens furnace, which has been adopted by the advocates of this mode of ilisjxwing of the dead in Germany, England, and elsewhere, is probably the 3est known. The bedy is placed" in Mi oblong brick or iron-cased chamber, under which is a furnace. The air of tht' chamber is raised to a very high temperature before tho body is pnt in, and a stream of heated hydro-carbon, from n gasometer, is then admitted, which on contact with intensely heated air within immediately bursts into flame. Tho chamber is, of course, so constructed as neither to admit draughts of air from without nor to permit the escape o gases from within. The noxious gases- which are evolved in the beginning of , he combustion process are passed through a flue into a second furnace, where they are entirely consumed. Bt tbis process

a body wighing 114 pound? can be reduced in about fifty minutes to not

more than four poumls of lime-dust.

The cost of constructing on of these furnaces is considerable, prolably about $2,000, but when built one could serve the purposes of cremtvsiiig itumberless bodies. In eachiudividualp.rocess, not more than 200 pounds of i.nel is required, the cost of wbioh would vary greatly in different loealititis in this country, but would probably seldom exceed $2. Cremation was the common nractica of the ancient Greeks, and has

been the custom of sotoe of the Asiatio

nations, notably the Siamese, the Bur

mese, and the Hindoo) from remotest times to the present. Themt thod pursued by these nations is usually the crude one of burning t'iie body on a pile of wood, or other tuel. Cled incinerators have been constructed by order

of the British Government m many towns of India, with ihe double object of reducing the expense and the offansiveness of tho operation. There baa always been much prejudiee against cremation among Chrutian nations, but with the advance of scientific knowledge it has been greatly lessened in modern times, and the advocates of ths practice are now so numerous in several Europe

an countries, that the- author ities nsu

allv Dermit it in any case T,iere it is

preferred to the usual method of burial. There are now associations in Chicago which propose boob, to construct

furnaces tor tne cremation Human

Mr. Calhoun's Lore of 'Possum. Scnehow or othev all these great men had their peculiarities about what they wanted to eat There was Mr. Calhoun, who always had his 'possum and sweet potatoes when he could get them. He used to gaytonM: "Now, Steve, you get me a nice fat? 'possum, cook it the day after it is killed, parboil it, then put, it in a hot o"en, with boiled yam potatoes laid around it in the oven, and then let it slowly brown. If you can get a coon, Steve, you make plenty of coon gravy, very brown, and pour it over the 'possum, and don't yon fail' to have tho 'poram well flavored with pepper, salt, and sage." Well, sir, von iust cusrbt to sec' Mr. Calhoun sit

down to a dish of 'possum with coon I

gravy. Ho wasn't a big man, but he was mighty thin, and there wa j plenty of room about his vent. He would make that 'possum very Kick beforo he got through with it. He used to say it reminded him of old South Carolina to eat 'possum, and that's the mason he likrid it so well. Many a time he's told - - , a. 1 i l . 1 . .. ,

The Hon. Simon Cameron, who is 86, tells why he is still young: "Tho secret of life is to keup moving. Men grow old only when they sit down long enough to get rusty. I waat to live just as long as I car. be happy. When I Teach the point when my friends, standing on tho corners and isecing me come up the street, say, 'Let's get on the other side; there comeii that old fool,' T want to die. Men make a great mistake in thin life by holding on to any position after they have lost their grip and then company has become unpleasant to their associates."

A new form of paving has been in use in Berlin since last year. Layers of brick have been put down impregnated with asphalt. After i time they absorb from 15 to '20 per tent, of the bituminous matter, becomii g remarkably clastic and cupablo of resisting pressure and damp. This new paving, it hi said, lasts much longer than any of the other kinds, and offers a sure foothold to horses.

The States and Territories ihow:ng the greatest addition to their mileage are Iowa and Minnesota, each 279 mika; Dakota, 26S; Pennsylvania, 252; Mississippi. 24fi; Wisconsin. 224; and Oregon, Si: 8. In Ihj other" the increase runs from 4 to 1150 miles. Tbe number of linen reported is 186, against 257 last year, and the aeiage extension is only a little over 20 miles tc each road.

It will be seen that m the Inst ten years our railway mileage has increased more than 51,(100 miles, or nearly 70 percent., and that the total mileage of the United Slates is now, in round numbers. 125,500 miles. This is an immense and matpiiiceut system, bnt every coming year will add thousands of miles more until these figures shall have been at h ast doubled. With a country so vast and rapidly growing as ours, none oin set bounds to the possibility

of our railway extension. IBON ASD WmiT An Encouraging- Outlook, The Age of Steel ( St. Louis) publishe over 200 letters from prominent mnnufaclurerj, in all parts of the country furnacemen, dealers in iron-working machinery, steam-engine builders, and editors of trade papers on the stite of trade last year and the prospect for ihe next six months. Taking fixe wholo country together, the volume of sales in these branches in ism dec? not differ materially from that of 1883. There was. however, a depreciation of values in the neighborhood of 15 per cent., so that tbe margin of pioi'ts and t'je aggregate of sales were smiller than iu 1883. The extensions of plants and improvement of facilities for manufa' taring wero also less than for the previous year. Manufacturers generally take a hopeful view of tbe future for the fallowing reasons: The values oi raw ma

terials tsndof nianufactnred products are now at the lowest point, further depreciation being impossible; stocks iri the oountry are unusually light, inquiries for npring delivery are numerous, -and the production of pig-iron in the United States during the year was about 10 per cent, lens than in 1883. The coke and charcoal furnaces iu the South, having an annual productive capacity of 020,000 tons per annum, are not now making above 8,000 tons a wselc NICARAGUA?? CANAL. VarylngtEsthnatea its to Its Cost, Washington special.) sment which is entering into the iiition of th6 Nicaragua treaty is the t tbe canal. Tbe estimates of Government offioors vary from 065,722,000 by Me local, the naval officer, to $140,000,000 by Maj. McFarland of the army eugineers,. The latter'g report was made in 1874, and was not published until recently. Ihe two estimates as to the cost are based upon the same survey. The curious ftit is. however, that the Government pub

lished the report of M enocal and suppressed that of McFarland. It is claimod that the cost of the canal, in view of the increased

ntto nt wnoes. would exceed 200.000,000.

It is claimed that one obscure provision of the treaty provides for the payment ot a syndicate in which Menocal has an interest of a considerable sum. If this is true, it is Hint th cansa of the treaty would

have been better served if titto Government hud dispatched some other offieer to Nicaragua at the present time than Menocal, who
