REMARKABLE CASES OF RESTORED
REASON

A confederate soldier from the valley
of Virginia. in one Of the late battles Of
the late civil war, was struck in the head
by Minnie ball. The ball passed through
the skull, and the surgeons, afraid to
probe the wound in search of it, left the
man to die. In the course of time he re-
covered, but had lost his reason, and was
sent to the insane asylum at Staunten,
where he remained eleven years. At
length DR.. Fauntlerey, an eminent ply
stefan of that city, obtained permission
from the asylum authorities and friends
of the insane man to make a surgical ex-
animation Of the head, with the hope of
finding the ball. He was successful, and
found the ball imbedded on the inside of
the skull and pushing against the brain
Unable to extract it with any instru-
ment at hand, he tork a chisel and NOR
Used it out. AZ soon "a the ball was re-
moved, reason resumed its control, and
the deranged one was in his right mind
He says that he is not conscious Of any
thing that occurred during the interval
Of eleven years-from the time he was
struck on the battlefield to the moment
the pressure was removed from the brain
all was a blank to him.
Another case in the same county OF
Augusta was that Of boy whose gun
bursted while shooting, and drove the
lock into the brain. The piece was taken
out by skillful surgeon without serious
injury to the patient.
But the most remarkable case that 1
hear of was in the same neighborhood. 1t
was that of a woman subject to fits of
mental arrangement, and while in a spell
Of lunacy drove an eighteen-penny nail
into the top of her head, penetrating
down into the brain-the nail having
been driven up to its head. The nail
was drawn out, and the woman has been
IN sound mental condition ever since

Origin of Mummy.Msking,


Opinion or tho mighty subject OF the
uprise of life after death, no doubt, va
ried among the Egyptians at different
epochs. She most spiritual knowledge,
in its decadence, is what will produce
tue most degrading and materialistic SUI
perstitiOn. The belief commonly held
about the object OF the mummy is that,
when the years of transmigratory wan
behring's were over, it might await the re-
turn of its soul, and further its reincar-
nation. This might help to explain the
ByTamids, and may be in accord with
Herodotus, but the painting on the
mummy cases, which represents the soul
as bird with a human head lowering
above the mummy as il lies on its lion
shaped bier, is doubtful support to
this view, although considered to typify
it. The bird-soul bears in its grasp the
character or emblem of life, and sail of
flag which is probably the emblem CT
breath, while Anubis stands by in his
customary attitude as embalmist. 1t
has been supposed that the soul is put
ting back life and breath into the mum
my but it is Just rs reasonable to sup
pose that it is its departure with those
qualities that is represented. In another
picture we have the scene of death be-
meath the vault of heaven and two pre-
siding deities seated solcmnly upholding
the feather of truth, or symbol of iustif-
cation-the corporal body, painted red,
is falling to the ground in death, while
the spiritual form, colored Of the azure
of heaven, stands upright in an attitude
of prayer and alteration. William
Blake's design Of " Deaths Door" where
by deseends the WORKOUT pilgrim, who
above energies in glad renewal of youth,
is close modern parallel 10 the Egyp-
tian picture. But if the Egyptians held
concurrent contradictions ID the subject,
they are no mere singular than ourselves,
who, in "Ihe order for the burial of tho
dead, " repeat in one place a pHn of fe-
licity for delivery from the burden ef
the flesh, and in another mistranslate
Job into saying, " IN my flesh shall | see
Ged." The fashion of mummy-makiug
once initiated, the process might be CON
tinued without any clear reason but the
strong power of precedent; and on this
hypothesis he may be prepared to accept
the vague and unreal references that are
found to the use Of the mummy.-Dub-

A Lover of Little Children.

The London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives an inter
esting account of noble wOman's work
among the poor of the English metrop-
oils. She has chosen a special field for
her labor, directed in her choice by a
mothers grief and guided by motherly
sympathy. Some years ago the Countess
Ebersburg-the lady in question-lost
her two children, and her morbid grief
manifested itself in a longing to study
the statistics of infant mortality through
out the kingdom She found that 200,-
600 children under five years of age die
annually in England.a and tha. three per
cent. of the victims might be saved with
ordinary care. As her own home was
desoIate she determined to do something
to save other homes threatened by ig-
norance and poverty. She established
meetings at which mothers OF the poorer
classes might assemble and be taught
how to preserve their own health and
that of their infants. ana sne issued
sanitary tracts giving directions ID re-
gard TO household management. This
machinery for disseminating good adj
vice was supplemented by a plan for
distributing material aid; and the
Countess, partly out of her own means
and partly through contributions from
her friends, procured and give away
prepared food Tor ailing children, finally
arranging the poorest parts of London into
districts and distributing 5000 pounds
of baby food annually, In due time. too
she secured a sanitarium in the country,
where those TO whom pure air offered the
for life might find a temporary home,
and a day nursery, where mothers who
had to work for TIER living might leave
their babies when going out in the NOR
ming.

Deadening the Roar of Steam.

Everybody that travels has expert
enced the annoyance of having his ears
deafened when on board a steamboat by
the roar of steam. Sometimes accidents
have occurred during the racket OF
=" blowing-off" simply because the cap;
everything is to be done in dumb show
while the disturbance lasts. Happily an
invention called the spiral exhaust noz-
zle, is destined to choke off this noise.
1t operates by breaking the waves Of
sound, the escaping steam being surround
ed with wire helix, A report adopted
by the committee on Science and Arts OF
the Franklin Institute says: . In view
OF the ann annoyance y fright ana d amer
and OF the completeness with which the
nozzle destroys this roar, we are of the
opinion that Mr.. Shaw has done a great
service 10 the community, and especially
