Mummy Paint.

Few persons are aware that veritable
Egyptian mummies are ground up into
paint. But in this country, and in
Europe, mummies are used for this
purpose, the asphaltum with which they
are impregnated being Of quality supe-
rior TO that which can elsewhere be
obtained, and producing a peculiar
brownish tint when made into paint,
which is priced by distinguished artists
both of this and of other countries.
The ancient Egyptians, when they put
away their dead, wrapped in clothes
saturated with asphaltum, builded, as it
were, better than they knew, and could
never have realized the fact that ages
after they had been laid in the tombs
and pyramids along the Nile their dust
would be used in painting pictures in a
world then undiscovered, and by artists
whose languages were then unknown.

Remonetization in Germany.

London Dispatch in Chicago Times.l
\ very important statement was made
by Prince Bismarck to-day in the Reich
stag respecting the intentions Of the
Government concerning the remoneti-
zatiOn Of silver. Herr Delbruck, a
prominent member Of the National Lib
eral party, had made Interpolation adj
dressed to the Chancellor on this sub
ject, and in replying to this question
the Chancellor said he did not know
what were the exact views Of the Fed
eral Government respecting the silver
question. Personally he would not
commit himself to the expression of a
definite opinion upon the matter. A
modification Of the March law establish
ing the gold standard might or might
not be expedient at this moment. All
that the Government had done In this
affair up 10 the present time was to sus-
pend the sales Of silver in order to await
until rise in the market value of the
metal should occur, The reply Of the
Chancellor was not altogether satisfac-
tory to a considerable portion Of the
Reichstag. The feeling in favor of at
least partial reconciliation Of silver
becomes daily more apparent through
out the Empire.
