The Boy and the Man.

Two country lads came at an early hour
to market town, and arranging their little
stands, sat down TO wait for customers. One
was furnished with fruits and vegetables of
the boys own raising, and the other supplied
with clans and fish. The market hours pass
ed along, and each little merchant saw with
pleasure his store steadily decreasing, and an
equivalent in silver bits shining in his little
money cup. The last melon lay on Harry's
stand, when gentleman came by, and plac-
ing his hand upon it, said, " What fine
large melon What do you ask for it, my
boy ?"

though it looks very fair, there is an un-
sound spot in it, said the boy, turning it
over.

And so it proved, for the next day th

A Queer Theory.

II is said that in the tonbs of the Ne
cropolis Of ancient Egypt to kinds of num-
mics have been found. One is incom-
plcte-that is to say, all organs necessary
for life have been separated from them
the other. on the contrary, is quite COM
plcte. Having observed this, u Swedish
chcmcst. DIR. Grusselbach, who has tho re-
putation Of being both great and learned,
professor at the University ut Upsll. has
come to the conclusion that the Egyptian
mummics arc not all, rs has been said and
believed for some thousands Of years, bod
les embalmed by any process of prcserva-
ton whatever, but that they aro really
the bodies Of individuals whose lives have
been momentarily suspended with the In
tcniion of restoring them ut some future
time, only the secret Of preservation has
been lost. Meanwhile Professor Grusscl-
bach adduees many proofs In support of
his idea among others, his experiments
during the last ten years, which he says
have always proved successful. He took
snake and treated in such manner rs
to bcnumb 1t as though he had been carved
in marble, and it was SO brittle that had

widowed mother lived, and being rs self

threatened to drive his tenants out of their
home unless his suit was successful, al
though they had already paid part of the

saving and working to pay the remainder.
In this emergency n travelling hair mcr-
chant appeared in the village, and sooner
