suspension Of LIte-A Queer
Theory.

1t ls said that IN tho tombs oftho
Metropolis, of ancient Egypt, two
kinds Of mummles have been found.
One Is incompleto-that is to say,
all organs necessary for life have
been separated from them the 9th
or, IN the contrary, IS quito com
pleto. Having observed this, a
Swedish chemist, DR.. Grusselbach,
who has tho reputation Of being
both great and learned, Professor
ct .ho University at Ursal, has ar,
rived at the conclusion that the E
gyptian mummics arc not all, us has
been said and believed for some
thousands of years, bodies embalm-
ed by any process of preservation
whatever, but that they arc really
the bodies of individuals whose life
has beon momenCarlly suspended,
with tho intention of restoring them
at somo future time, only the secret
OF preservation has now been lost
Meanwhile, Professor Grusselbauh
adduces many proofs in support of
his idea ; among others his oxperi-
ments during tho last ten years,
which he says have always proved
successful. He took q snake and
treated it in such manner as to
benumb it as though 1t had been
carved in marble, and it was so
brittle that had he allowed it to fail
1t would have broken into frag-
ments. In this state he kept it for
several pears, and then restored it
to lie by sprlnkling it with stimu~
lating fluid, the composition Of
which is secret. For fifteen years
tho snake has been undergoing an
existence composed Of successive
deaths and rosurrections, apparent
ly without sustaining any harm, -
The Professor is reported to have
sent a petition to hls government
requesting that q criminal who has
been condemned to death may be
given to hlm to be treated in the
same manner as the snake, promls-
ing to restore him TO life in two
years. 1t is understood that the
man who undcrgocs this experiment
IS to be pardoned.

put q purse of gold in her hand,
and directed her to take care of 1t
till morning, pressed her affection
ately by the hand, and bade her
good night. She returned to hor
husband, and showed him the gold.
For its sake they agreed to murder
the traveller in his sleep, which they
accomplished, and buried the body.
In the morning camo two or three
relations, and asked in a joyful tone
for tho traveller who had arrived
there tho night before. The old
people seemed greatly confused, and
said ho had risen early and gone
away.
"Impossiblo |" said the relations.

The Supposed Reason why
NONIOus Insects Increase up.
on Us.

II is an old and very truo remark
that tho various insects that afilict
the gardener and tho fruit-grower
are, year by year, becoming more
numerous and moro destructive, -
Ono principal reason for this result
is sufficiently obvious. The cODtin-
ual tendency of modern improve-
ment IS tu concentrate vegetable
gardens and fruit farms IN cortain
peculiarly favorable localities, ln-
stead Of scattering them evenly and
uniformly'ovor the whole country.
Honco every injurious insect that
troubles the gardener and fruIt>
grower has an abundant supply of
such vegetation as forms a suitable
indus for it's future offspring, close
at hand, instead of having 10 search
for it, with much labor, over an ex-
tonsivo surface Of country. Such
insects are therefore enabled by
this means to increase and multiply
with greater case and greater rap
idity. Upon precisely the same
prlncipIo, if you scatter over the
surface Of whole country tho am
cunt Of shelled corn that IS just suf'
ficient to feed IL certain gang of
hogs, and compel them to seek il
out and pick it up every day OF the
yean they wll! not thrive so we'll
nor multiply so fast as you feed
ont tue very same amount of corn
to them in ten acre lot, day after
day, for whole ysar.-[Canada

Tho demands for woman every
where to day, are for wider range
of employment, higher wages, thor~
ough physical and mental educa-
tion, and an equal right before tho
laws in all those relations which
grow out Of the marriage state
Wh,lo we yield TO none in tho ear
nestness of our advocacy Of ali those
claims, wo mako q broader demand
for the Enfranchisement OF Women,
as the only way by which all hOr
just rights can be permanently Sc
cured. By discussing, as we shall,
incidentally all leading questions Of
political and social Importance, We
hopo to educate women for an intel
ligent Judgment upon public affairs,
and for q faithful expression of that
judgment at the polls. On theidea
taught by the creeds, codes and Gus
toms Of the world, that woman was
made for man--bls toy, drudge, sub
ject, or even mere companion-wo
declare war TO tho death, and pros
claim the higher truth that, like
man, sho was created by God for
Individual, Moral Responsibility
and progress here and forever, and
that the physical conditions Of her
earthly life are not 10 bo taken as n
Limitation Of the evidence of the Dis

1t gives us pleasure to say that The
