EmbaIming the Dead.

with the decay of the ancient Egyptian en-.
pire the art of embalming the dead with other
useful arts, gradually declined, and, when that
country became tributary to Rene, had almost
become extinct, and until very recently has
been regarded as one Of the lost arts Within
a rev years. however, much attention has been
pa'd to the art of embalming, until ut last we
rival and even excel the ancien,s in its prac.
tice. The ancient mode Of EN- balming the dead
according to Herodotus, was as follows: The
brain was abstraoted from the skull, by means
OF crooked wire passed into the nostrils, the
skull Afterwards being washed with u strong
decoction Of wood vinegar and spices. The
abdomen was also opened and the entrails
ttken ise theEefrom, the cavity being well rinsed
with theNbove mixture, and filled with asphal.
tum, gums and spices, and sewed to ether
again. But the modern mode of embalming Is
free from many of the objections TO the ancient
method, the body being preserved from all dis.
hgarement and in perfectly natural state.
day, u corpse prepared by new me ihod Of
embalming, invented by Professor Frederick
Schafhirt, at the establishment Of Mr.. George
W: Plant, undertaken, On Seventh street. Tie
subject was u woman, who, when brought to
the establishment of Mr.. Plant, had been dead
for nearly two weeks, and was in an advanced
stage OF decomposition, and very offensive.
Professor Schufhirt took charge Of the corpse,
and III AN hours time the body presented n
perfectly natural, life like appearance, all dis
coloration having vanished from the face Of the
corpse, the cheeks of which even resuming
their rosy appearance again. The corpse has
been lying for almost n week In room in which
II hot hre has been kept up almost continually,
and no offensive odor produced by the heated
atmosphere Of the room. The mode practiced
by Professor 8. Ia also much cheaper and
quicker than that followed By other embamers,
of which there are several in the city at the
present time. Mr.. Plant win receive orders for
embalming aspracticed by Professor Schafhirt.
