singular Scene at a Funeral.

Mrs. Walter Dixon, of Patterson, y.
J., died recently, and her body was
placed on ice While the preparations
for the funeral were going on, her hus-
band, who was mourning over the body
suddenly began to embrace il, and joy
fully declared that his wife was not
dead, that her hand, which he had
been pressing, was still warm. The
face of the corpse was soft and of a
roseate -tinge, and the two sons of the
woman, sharing their fathers belief,
at once embraced the body with every
expression of joy. The physicians how
ever, who were at once summoned, de-
cided that the woman was dead beyond
all question, declaring thSt having
been packed in ice for fOrty-eight
hours would have killed her if she had
not been dead before. 1t required,
however, much persuasion on the part
of The friends present before Mr.. Dixon
and his two sons would consent to have
the ceremonies proceed. Mrs. Dix
on it appeared, had expressed a fear
of being buried alive, and had exacted
a promise from her husband not to
bury her body until he was entirely
certain that she was dead. At the
grave he demanded to see the body,
and the coffin was opened. After teel-
ing her hands and face he at last
consented to the burial but as he turn
ed from the coffin he fell to the ground
insensible. The body was buried and
Mr.. Dixon was removed to his home.
He is still OF the opinion, however, that
his wife was buried alive.

The Lotus of Egypt.

Americans are accustomed to regard
the rare blossoms of the lotus as bear
ing their fragrance only in the air Of
distant climes. There are however,
two spots In the United States where
this plant blooms. Selden Cove is a
little bay on the Connecticut river,
near the sound. Here the lotus is
thriving. The blossoms bear general
resemblance to the yellow pond lily.
but are much larger and of a delicate,
pale buff color, and their texture and
general makeup are free from the
coarseness of their little American i'm
itations. They grow in about feet of
water, and are consequently mounted
on long stems, while the leaves are like
great elephants ears. How these lotus
plants happened to take root and man
age to flourish where they are is one of
the mysteries of Connecticut. Every
sort of effort has been made TO trans
plant them, but all fail. Even in Ham
burg Cove, below on the same river,
though the plants have been set out
there at all seasons of the year, in the
hope that some time might prove the
proper time, it has been impossible to
persuade the plants to take root at all.
An attempt to plant them in Bushnell
Park, Hartford, failed like the rest,
and so did one at Cedar Hill Cemetery.
New York parties have carried off the
plants often, but only to see them die.
The blossoms are much sought after, a
dozen boats being out at the same time
after them, and as high as SO has been
paid for single flower; while rumor
has it that the Lorillards from New
York have put in their yacht and bid
$40 for them. There is no explanation
of how the plants happened to start in
Selden's Cove, though it is tradition
that the seeds Of the Egyptian lotus fell
there or blew there from some shipload
of Egyptian rags that was bound up
the river, and that from this little be-
ginning the rest came. Except at one
spot on the North Carolina coast, the
plant does not grow anywhere else in
the country.

The Khedive,s Million of Acres.

When his Highness succeeded Said
Pasha, his private estate did not exceed
10000 acres. At the present moment
the khediye, in his own name and that
Of his mother and children, owns up
wards of ,OOO, 600 acres-that is, fully
one-iifth of the whole cultivable soil
Of Egypt. This extraordinary accu-
mutation OF property has been effected
in little over dozen years. Egypt,
in proportion to her cultivated acreage
Is one of the most densely populated
countries in the world, as well as one
in which property in the soil is held by
the largest number of petty proprietors
in proportion. This subdivision of the
land is due partly to the traditions of
the country, partly to the instincts of
the race, still more to the conditions of
Egyptian cultivation. But be the
cause what it may, the passion for land
is universal. The fellaheen are, and
have been from time immemorial.
race of peasant farmers. Large pro-
prietors are the rare exception, and
such a transfer of proprietOrship, as is
involved in the accumulation of one
fifth ofthe cultiyable soil into the hands
of one land owner in the course of a
little over dozen years, could not have
been effected without grave disturbance
and detriment TO public interests. even
if it had been brought rbout simply and
solely by the action of economical
causes,
