WHAT IS A MUMMY!
A Chapter of latereetlag Information About
Some Egyptian Custom*.
When a member of an Egyptian fam
ily died, all the relatives put on mourn
ing and abstained from baths, wine and
delicacies of all kinds from 40 to 60
days, according toJhe rank of the per
son deceased. Death in one respect put
an end to all distinctions that had pre
vailed in life, and king and slave were
subject to the same law.
The record of the life of the deceased
had to be examined by a tribunal of 43
judges before he could be given burial
with his ancestors. If the deeds of his
life proved that he was worthy of
burial, his body was carried across the
sacred lake, of which each province had
one, and was there permitted t.o rest. If
the judges found him unworthy, even
though he belonged to the highest rank,
he could not be buried with his ances
tors. The body was returned to his rela
tives and was buried on the side of the
lake opposite to the burial place of the
just.
The belief of the Egyptians in a fu
ture state of existence gave rise to the
practice of embalming the dead. They
wished to carefully preserve the body,
so that the soul upon its return to its
former abode at the end of all things
might find it ready for its reception.
Bodies were embalmed in three differ
ent ways. The most expensive and mag
nificent method was used upon the bod
ies of kings and other persoq* of dis
tinguished rank, the cost amounting to
a talent of silver, or $6lO.
A number of persons were employed
in the process of embalming, and they
were treated with great respect. They
filled the cavities of the body with
myrrh, cinnamon, spices and many
kinds of sweet smelling drugs. •
After a certain time had elapsed the
body was swathed in lawn fillets, which
were glued together with a kind of thin
gum, and then crusted over with costly
perfumes. By this mode of embalming
the shape of the body, the lineaments
of the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes
were preserved in their natural perfec
tion. Bodies thus embalmed are what
we now call Egyptian mummies.—Phil
adelphia Times.
CHARACTER IN THE INSANE.
A Deeply Interesting Study, Though at
Times Attended With Sadness.
If it is deeply interesting to study
character among the insane, it is also at
times both saddening and humiliating.
We often look with indulgence upon
what we call harmless vanity or a nat
ural love of admiration in a rather friv
olous girl, but look at the same girl
when by some accident or misfortune
the mental balance is overthrown. Now
she believes and does not hesitate to say
that she is perfectly beautiful, has an
exquisite figure, is in every way charm
ing and attractive and that every man
who sees her immediately falls violently
in love with her. It is only an absurdly
exaggerated sense of self importance
that produces the very common delu
sion that the patient is a king or a
queen, even a deity.
Again a natural humility and a tend
ency to self depreciation are frequent
ly exaggerated by disease into the de
lusion that the patient is an object of
dislike and contempt to every one, that
he has committed some crime, and that
consequently he is beyond redemption
and is regarded with horror by all
around him. If he is of a religious turn
of mind, he believes himself to be eter
nally lost and sinks into a state of chron
ic melancholy and apathy. On the other
.hand, a natural self reliance, no longer
controlled by common sense, expands
into a belief that the patient has done
and can do feats beyond the power of
any mortal man. —Hospital.
DISCOMFITURE OF A LADY.
Attacked by a Barrel of Cider While Pric
ing Kindling Wood.
Lewis Matthewson, a young farmer of
Chestnut Hill, drove down to this city
last week with a load of kindling wood
to sell. Before starting out he went
down cellar and tested a full barrel of
cider. Finding it had a good head on,
Lewis loaded it on the back end of the
wagon, with the idea that it also could
be sold in the city.
It was a long way to town, the day
was warm, and the sun beat down on
the load with considerable strength.
Farmer Matthewson had entered the
city and was driving along the street,
looking out for kindling wood customers,
when a handsomely dressed woman ap
proached the curb to ask him the price
of the load.
The farmer turned his horse up to the
walk and had just laid down the reins
when an explosion occurred. The bung
of the cider barrel flew out with great
force and, as luck would have it, landed
squarely in the face of the prospective
customer. A stream of cider followed
closely in the wake of the bung. Both
struck her in the mouth, and there was
a panic. The blow, of course, startled
the woman, and as she opened her
mouth to scream the cider filled it so
quickly as to force the scream back. It
choked the woman so that she nearly
strangled.
The noise of the explosion, the hiss of
the escaping cider and the convulsive
gurgle of the woman combined to
frighten Farmer Matthewson’s horse,
and before the young man knew what
had happened the animal had started to
run. Matthewson was thrown to the
ground, the wheels ran over him, and
the horse kept on. Before he stopped the
kindling wood was scattered over two
wards, the wagon was wrecked, and the
ambulance was on its way to take the
young farmer to the hospital. Fortu
nately he was not much injured, except
in feelings, and even these were nothing
compared to the state of mind of the
woman.—Ansonia (Conn.) Letter.
During a fire in a stable at Pau Sec,
province of (Quebec, a bay stallion re
turned twice to the burning structure
and drove out a horse that was so ter
rorized as to be unable to make any
attempt to escape. I
