Its Fathers Complexion.

Mr.. Blanket sat looking at the baby
with wistful, far-of look in his ewes,
trying to think of the usual idiotic. un-
meaning and unmeant things that peo-
pie say about new babies, and at last, in
a spasm Of originality, remarked that
"the baby had its fathers complexion. /"
Then all sat and looked at the rich car
dinal hues that made the wrinkled coun-
tenance of the unconscious infant glow
like mountain sunset, and nobody said
anything until a feeble voice from an adj
joining room said; ut was good thing
the baby had it naturally, then, as it re-
quired about fifteen years steady practice,
and the co operation Of three scientific
clubs and five political campaigns to ac-

over the room again, only broken by the
hard breathing of the baby's father look

Embalming In Italy.

The principal Italian embalmers keep
their special processes a secret, although
the chief steps are well known. The pro-
cess of embalming is stated to consist of
five steps. First, cold water is injected
through the whole circulatory system
until it issues quite clear. This may take
as long as five hours. Alcohol is then
injected for the purpose of abstracting all
the water from the body. This is follow
ed up by the injection of ether. TO dis
solve the fatty matter. This injection is
carried on for several hours-in thin
subjects for two, in very fat ones for even
as long as ten hours. After this a strong
solution of tannin is slowly injected, and
full time is allowed for its soaking into
all the tissues; this takes two to five hours.
Lastly the body is exposed for from two
10 five hours to a current of warm air,
which is previously dried by passing it
over heated chloride of calcium. The
body can then be preserved for any length
of time without undergoing change, and
is as hard as stone.
