Preserving the Dead.

MIR. Keysmann, United States Consul
General at Berlin, in his dispatch to the
Department of State, dated Oct. 80,
communicates description of a newly
discovered process for the preservation
of dead bodies. The inventor or dis
coverer had securedEa patent the pro-
cess, but the German Government, con-
ceiving the high Importance of the in
vention, induced the patentee to
abandon his patent. Thereupon the
Government made public through the
press a full description of the process
as set forth in letters patent. The fol-
lowing extracts are translated from the
German newspapers of Oct. %: "The
dead bodies of human beings and ami
mails by this process fully retain their
form, color and fexibility. Even after
a period of years such dead bodies may
be dissected for the purposes Of science
and criminal jurisprudence. Decay
and the offensive smell of decay are
completely prevented. Upon incision
the muscular flesh shows the same APP
pearance as in the case of fresh dead
body. Preparations made of the sew
eral parts, such as natural skeletons,
lungs, entrails, ETC., retain their softness
and pliability. Tie liquid used is pre-
pared as follows: In 5000 erammes of
boiling water are dissolved 100 grammes
of alum, 25 grammes of cooking salt,
- grammes saltpeter, 60 grammes pot
ash, and 10 grammes arsenic acid. The
solution is then allowed to cool and
filter; to 10 1iters of this neutral, color
less liquid, iters glycerine, and liter
methylic alcohol are to be added. The
process of preserving or embalming
dead bodies by means of this liquid
consists, as rule, in saturating and
impregnating the bodies with it. From
II to iters of the liquid are used for
a body, according to its size.

Finding g Girl'' i'm the Bible.

An English town missionary, a short
time ago, related remarkable incident.
There was clearinghouse in his dis
trict, which he had long desired to en-
ter, but he was deferred from so doing
by his friend, who feared that his life
would be thereby endangered. He be-
came at length so uneasy that he de-
termined to risk all consequences and
try to gain admission. So one day he
gave a somewhat timid knock at the
door, in response to which a coarse
voice roared out: Who's there?" and
at the same moment vicious-looking
woman opened the door and ordered
the man of God away.
Let him come IN, and see who he is
and what he wants" growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in,
and, bowling politely to the rough-look-
ing man whom he had just heard speak,
said
81 have been visiting most of the
houses in this neighborhood to read
with and talk to the people about good
things. [ have passed your door as
long as I feel I ought, for I wish also to
talk with you and your dodgers"
''Are you what is called a town miss
ionary?"
L am, sir" was the reply.
"Well, them" said the fierce-looking
man, sit down and hear what I
am going to say. If you answer me
right you may call at this house and
read and pray with us and our dodgers
as often as you like; but if you do not
answer me right, we will tear your
clothes off your back, and tumble you
neck and heels into the street. Now
what do you say to that? for I am man
of my word
The missionary was perplexed, but at
length quietly said:
II will take you"
"Well, them" said the man, "here
goes. Is the word girl in any part of
the Bible? If SO, where can it be found,
and how often? This is my question"
Well, sir, the word girl is in the
Bible, bit only once, and may be found
in the words of the Prophet Joel, iii. 3.
The words are: And sold a girl for
wine, that they might drink"
"Well," replied the man, I am dead
beat; I burst to have bet se5 you could
not have told" "An1 T could not have
told yesterday" said the visitor. For
several days I have been praying that
the Lord would open me way into this
house, and this morning, when reading
the scriptures in my family, I was sur
prised to find the word girl, and got the
concordance to see If it occurred again,
and found it did not. And now, sir, I
believe that God did know, and does
know what will come to pass, and surely
His hand is in this for my protection
and your good"
The whole of the inmates were
greatly surprised, and the incident has
been overruled to the conversion of the
