THE STORY OF A MUMMY. For seven
teen years the most curious object III the
Museum OF the Tennessee II historical So
ciety has been the Egyptian mummy.
1t has d very singular history. In 1860
Colonel Jeremiah George Harris was a
purscr on United States man -ot-war
in the Egyptian waters. He went on
shore, and was at once ushered into the
august presence Of the khediye and his
numerous household He was walking
out one day with Il member of the khe
dives staff, when the later was set upon
bv rut1ians. Colonel Harris, who is a
man of great strength, interposed, and
the roughs We're vanqulshcd.
''What can do," asked the Egyptian
officer, = to show adequate appreciation
of the services you have rendered me 2"
"Give me u mummy" laughingly sug
gested Colonel Harris.
"Amummy!" repeated the officer, hold
ing his breath and pondering. "Did you
not know, sir, that our laws prohibit the
removal of mummieS, under penalty of
death But, never mind; your request
shall he fulfilled. just before your vessel
leaves the harbor, Il boat will come along
side. 1t will contain that for which you
have asked
Colonel Harris had dismissed the sub
ect from his mind, but Just before the
hour for the departure Of the ship three
natives were seen pulling toward the
vessel The boat contained bundle
directed to Colonel Harris This bundle
was not opened until the arrival of the
ship at Boston, when it was discovered
that there were six mummies instead of
one. They were unWrapped, and the
best one forwarded to the Tennessee His
torical Society, of which Colonel Harris
was then and is still Il member
When Professor Huxley was here he
examined the mummy with great deal
of interest, and said that he believed it
to be the best preserved specimen either
in America or in Europe. Nashville

They called him ''hard nut, out there,

him as well as they could and yesterday

white as a sheet, and looking like death
on pale horse.
"Nou'vc been trying to learn to chew

\ NEW CURE FOR ASTHMA. \ new
remedy for that somewhat intractahlc
complaint. asthma, is at present adNo-
Gated. 1t is said that the smoke of the
leaves OF belIadonna is even more ellica
cious than Stramonium for relieving asth
matte persons. The m0Tius opeya,tdi is to
smoke the leaves OF the belladOnna plant
in long pipe, drawing the fumes deeply
into the chest. Should the patient be
suffering So violently that he cannot use
the pipe. the breathing of an atmosphere
in which the leaves are burned will be
found beneficial
