EMBALMINd.-A London journal, dis
cussing the subject Of embalming, presents
some statements whiah seem to show that
the application of heat to bodies filed with
bitumen was the essential part of the
Egyptian mummifying process-that, in
fact, the mammies owe their preservation to
creosote, formed by an application of great
heat to the bitumen. 1t appears that all
the substancesfound within mummies are
of resinous nature, but that their mere
introduction into the great cavities Of the
body, along with external lotions of wine,
would answer the purpose of embalming,
seems contrary to fact. Many, if not all
the mummies have their muscular tissue
impregnated with resinous matter: most
are also blackenod and burned, and in
some the tissues have been reduced to
ashes. The inner bandages are generally
in state resembling tinder; and, as il
seems absurd to suppose that the applica-
tion Of heat was without some practical
object, rational conclusion is Tint by
means Of it, the body became inprcgnated
with crcosote, derived from the decompo-
sition of the bitumen and bandages with
which it was previously covered.

The Druids.

More than thousand years ago, before
Christianity was introduced into England
the principal teachers were called Druids.
They were heathens, and carved idols Of
wood and stone. They also built altars,
and even offered human sacrifices to theil
gods. They made big cages Of wickerwork
in the shape Of a man, and put all the per
sons found guilty Of stealing or murder into
Il, and burnt them alive. But one day
in great battle with the Romans they
were defeated, and themselves burnt in tbs
fires they had prepared to burn their pris
oner. Before this time their worship hat

The English were often troubled by th,

The voracious Blue-Fish.

Fortunate for the other fishes Of New
England would It be if the hlue-fsh (Po.
psa'amns salatrir) were equally prejudi-
ced against the stern rock-bound coast.
But this butcher Of the seas has wide
range of habitat, and goes by variety of
names. In New Jersey and at Newport
he is the horse-mackerel, in Maryland the
tailor, in Virginia the green-fsh, in South
Carolina the skip.jack, Even 10 New
York he isnot sure ofhis name the young

as white-fsh. That Blue-fsh should be
also white-fsh aud green-fsh Is not perhaps
more wonderful than the paradox Of our
childhood, that blackberries when they are
green arc usually red or white; but itfairly
represents the confusion in current Ian
guagc which has made scientific names a
necessity of natural history.
Whatever doubt there may be respecting

Their trail is marked by fragments Of fish

Hydrophobia.

The following letter of DR.. J. b. Sander
son, read before the Brown Institute, in
London, will be of interest:
:" A dog about to become rabid loses its
natural liyeliness. It mopes about as Il
pre-occupied or apprehensiye, and seeks to
withdraw into dark corners. From the
first there is usually foreshadowing Of
that most constant symptom Of the disease
--deprayed appetite. Mad dogs not only
deyour filth and rubbish Of every kind
with ayidity, but even their own cxcrement
often Immediately after it has been
passed. Indications of this tendency ap.
pear early, and are more than suspicious,
" Along with this peculiarity Of behavior
1t is of equal Importance to notice that an
infected dog, from the first, snaps at other
dogs without proyocation. If a dog preyi.
ously known to have no such habit snaps
Unfortunately at the first dog il meets
in the yard or in the street, it is probably
not safe.
So far have had in mind chiefly
what is to be observed in dogs tied up ol
at home. A dog which is at large is aisC
to be recognized as in dangerous state BY
its demeanor. A healthy dog in its pro
gress along street or elsewhere shows a
every step that its attention is awake t.
the sights and sounds which il encounters
The rabid dog, on the contrary, goe
sullenly and unobseryantly forward, and i
not diverted by objects obviously likely Il
attract it. This statement, however, i
subject to the important exception alread,
referred to, that it is excited both by tn
sight and sound of an animal of its owI
species.
OF the symptoms which accompany tn
fatal stage of the disease the most impol
tant and characteristic are those which re
late to the organs in which it localizes itseI
the mouth and throat. Attention
often drawn to the condition Of the mout
in an animal supposed to be healthy by tn
observation that it tries to scratch the col
ners of its mouth, as If attempting to g
rid Of the ropy mucus which is seen to
discharged from it. In dogs that are tic
up it is noticeable that the bark has el
tirely lost its ring, and acquires peculiu
hoarseness, which can be recognized eve
by the most unobseryant. As the diseas
progresses the discharge increases, the Low
er jaw hangs as if paralyzed, and the an
NAL has evident difficulty in swallowin,
Along with this there is often loss of poy
er Of the hind limbs. If now the dog
watched, the peculiarities of bchayi,
which have been already noticed are see
to present themselves in u much MOI
marked degree than before. 1t is observe
first, that it is subject to paroxysms Of e,
element, in which it makes often-r
peated efforts to bite or gnaw all objec
(such as woodwork, straw, &c. } within i
reach, while at the same time it continu
to exhibit the tendency already mentioae
to devour its own excrement; and, se
ondly, even during the remissions its e
citement is at once renewed by the sight
