A Lost Art Said to Have Been Found.

Mr.. z. S, Erhsworth and DR.. kavet,
physician of Erie, Pa. have made APP
plication for patent on recently dis
covered process of preserving tbs dead,
supposed TO be the long lost Egyptian
art. They claim that partly by acct
dent and finally by experiment they
have discovered a certain continuation
ofnntiseptic elements which, ii dif'used
through dead body, eva when il is
in nm advanced stage of composition,
will destroy all corruptible matter and
convert the flesh into cart,laginous
state the diseased paIts OF the body,
such as the grissly part OF the car, be-
| ing converted into horny substance,
/ retaining its natural appearance. In
one OF their experiments they, by the
aid of electricity, applied the chemicals
to the dead body OF an infant az the
almshouse at Erie, Pa. Ten weeks af-
ter the body had been removed from
| all contact with the chemicals the flesh
had become like rubber, the checks
were full and plant to the toael, aud
the ears had become horny. There
was no odor, aud it seemed to have no
more properties Of decomposition than
rupOef bhli. W netnef the oouy VIII
remain in this plant state, or whether
I it will become hard as the denser parts
now are, it viii PROBABLY take more
than lifetime to determine. But
whatever change may take place the
doctor claims that it cannot dry. The
! discovery was kept. secret for some limo,
the discoverers not wishing to pake
it public until they had satisfied them
selves on its successful applications -

The discovery made during the recent solar
eclipse of an atmosphere on the moon again
revives the question of its individuality. The
Philadelphia Times in a recent article on the
subject says: The theory of the existing on
the moon has been rejected by the greater
number of astronomers, because, reasoning
from terrestrial facts, they argued that the at
tenuated atmosphere of the moon, if it has an
atmosphere at all, must be absolutely inca
pable of maintaining animal existence. Now
that the infallible specroscope has made its
revelations, speculation may be INDUCED in
its Hottest flight, and within this century, with
other and more powerful instruments, con
structed upon i'm proved principles, more
satisfactory view of our satellite may be OBJ
tanned, and we may yet be enabled to see our
neighbors, of the past, their habitations and
their homes.

A move is on foot: iu Philadelphia to estab-
lish school for instruction in the textile arts.
Although there are number of such schools
in Europe which have proven success there
is no such institution in this country. Aid
will be asked from the state of Pennsylvania,
the stagnation in the trade of coarse cotton
goods making it necessary to find employment
for thousands of Philadelphia weavers who are
now only working half time in the making Of
that class of goods. The Philadelphia Times
says that the people want something of bet
ter quality than ginghams and coarse cotton
goods, and that Philadelphia is perfectly COM
petent to make nearly all the goods imported
if she had the enterprise.

Ben vOrlich,s Echo.

An Austin man, of literary turn of
mind, is very fond of his dog, that
barks day and night. A neighbor
asked what the dogs name was.
Echo" was the reply.
"What kind of name is that I"
"It was the name Of Ben Vorlich's
dog"
"Who the mischief is Ben Vorlich /"
The owner of the dog smiled in de-
rision, and replied:
"You never could have read Walter
Scott's "Lady otthe Lake" In the chase
Ben Vorlich was one of the principal
hunters. Echo is the name Of mis- dog.
Don't you remember where it says;
'No rest Ben Yorlich's Echo mewP
"This dog never takes a rest either,
so call him Echo"
The neighbor did not say anything,
but that night he softly called Echo
to the fence, gave him piece of sau-
sage, and now Echo is as silent as Ben
Vorlich, and even more so. -Ieras

There are thousands of rich men who
are not skinhints who have the repu-
tation of being so because they have
never been known TO have done any
special good with their money. A man
who is worth $4,000 can do more to
make himself loved and respected by
ell with whom he comes in contact, by
the judicious expenditure of thou
sand dollars in charity than by giving
the whole fifty thousand dollars after
he is dead. 1t seems as though il
would be mighty small consolation to a
millionaire to leave money to some
charitable purpose, after death, and be
so dead that he couldn't see the smiles
of happiness that his generosity had
created.
Suppose millionaire who has never,
had kind word said of him except by
fawniDg hypocrites who hope to get
some of his money, should lay out q
beautiful park worth q million dollars,
and throw it open free to all, with
walks, drives, lakes, shade and every
thing. Don't you suppose if he took
drive through it himself and saw thou-
sands of people having a good time
and ALI looking their love and respect
for him, that his heart would be warmed
mp and that his day would be heightened.
Wouldn't every look of thanks be worth
a thousand dollars to the man who had
so much money that it made him round
shoulderedP Wouldn't he have more
pleasure than he would in cutting off
coupons with lawn mower ?-Peck's

A California writer says that the red
wood which is in demand there for un-
derground use is what is known by the
lumbermen as black-heart redwood 1t
shows dark color when cut with a
knife, the outer portion only being sea-
soned. This species OF redwood is ex-
ceedingly heavy-too heavy to float.
One who has observed schooners load
ing along the coast assures the writer
that post of this wood which plunges
overheard never rises, and board
fingers on the surface a moment and
then slowly slides down into its depths.
This is the sort which is sought for in
the foundation of buildings, and under
brick walls is believed to be imperish-
able. In this connection it is interest
ing to mention a fact concerning the
second growth of redwood. Shoots
from old stumps have grown to three
and four feet in diameter in forty years
This would indicate restorative powers
in redwood forests which would in
sure q future supply Of the timber.

FOR THE LADIES.
Love and Light Heart.

Love and Light Heart,
1 once inquired of maiden of thirty
who was large, healthy and fair to look
upon, what kept her so oung-looking,
for she seemed scarce twenty. She re-
piled: Love. / have, besides my
mother, brother and sisters, and their
families, to love host of friends and
admirers, so thatI have no time to NOPE
and regret I'm not beautiful" And I've
often wished married women loved more,
for verify believe if they did they
would keep healthy, young and hand
some longer than they now do. But
the cares and trials Of life ale deep and
wearing, and we women are so crowded
with them that few of us have time for
ennobling our lives in any direction. In
fact, we are too tired to even love, un
less it is our babies, whose little lives
clung so close to our own that they are
q part of it; and the songs and kisses
they call out of us tend to tighten the
daily task, so that the back bends under
its burden, instead of breaking.
The loving and happy wife and mother
is the handsome and healthy one, usu-
ally. As old age overtakes her she
still keeps the lovelight in her eye, for
it has become habitual to her, and the
world is her family. The husband
would find his daily cares lightened if
he kept the thrill Of affection as of old,
and if husband did not forget to be the
lover still it would be better and a
happier world. Just imagine the
charmed life of the enew-married couple,
and the effect of such love and life
upon the home and children perpetu-
ally.
Smiles bring dimples and roses to the
face. Laughter makes work easy, and
puts flesh on the bones, and unselfish-
ness adds charm to the owner that
gold cannot buy or thieves rob you of.
Our bodies are the houses our souls
live in, and whether it be palace OF a
hovel, depends ON ourselves as build
ers and occupants. Shall we not teach
our little ones, then, to build wisely
and well-to cultivate purity, cheerful
ness, generosity, charity and lover How
can we better teach these things than
by first setting the glorious example P
Je'0ett, in California Agricu turist.

The shadOwed Cross.


In welded love our lives had twiped
Ono year--one careless, golden year
And then he died, my darling died;
And, for. the Joy that harbored there,
My heart was filled with dark despair.

And memry's breathings, once so sweet,
But famed the furnace Of my grief;
They brought no tears to my relief

And 10 upon the hallowed mound
In seeming emblem Of my loss
There fell the shadow OF a Cross.
And, kuooling there in fearless woe,
Methought heard my darling say;
"Oh, love thy grief shadow is,
Which, as a dream, shall pass away,
Where shadowsmelt in cloudless day |"
Thon found my anguish vent in tears,
Strange tears of heav'n-born Spoaoe, tina

Around my soul holy oalm:
And when rose, thus comforted,
