Modern Mummies.
From .he Lancet.l


A subject which has important bear
ings on the vexed question of crema-
ton was preached at the recent meeting
of the Social Science Congress, in pa
per by Mr.. Thomas Bayley of Birming-
ham. In spite of much that has been
said and written to the contrary, the
practice of burning the dead must. in
our opinion, and as we have stated else
where, lack the sanction of law, so long
as it does not afford further guarantee
than that required in cases of burial
that death has not resulted from foul
play. The paper alluded to recognizes
this difficulty, and proposes a plan by
which it may be met. 1t is the follow
ing: The bodies, loosely, but completely
9nveloped in cottonwood, and placed
within air-tight cases, are exposed, in
subterranean gallery lined with cement,
to the action of cold air, which is chem
ically dried and purified by filtration
from putrefactive bacteria. After time
dry air at higher temperature is used
in the same way. The result is mumifi-
cation, the integument remaining white.
Bodies which have undergone this proc
ess may, it seems, be kept for an lndef-
mite period without evidence OF change,
ii protected from damp; may, if requir-
ed, be submitted to examination by an
alysis or otherwise in an adjoining cool
and dry mortuary chamber; may be
cremated or otherwise disposed of.

To Shoe "A Kicking Horse,

A correspondent of the Blacksmith
and Wheelright, gives the following
My method of shoeing kicking horse
or mule is as follows: attach ring to
the tail, tying or braiding it with the
hair, and then tie one end of rope to
the ring and buckle strap around the
fetlock with ring attached TO the strap
and standing the same as the ring in the
tail. l next pass the loose end of the
rope down through the ring at the fet-
lock and thence up through ring in
side of the shop, or in post outside
When pull on the rope the animal is
obliged to lift his foot, and is unable to
kick. This plan will also place the foot
in good position for shoeing.

How dear to my heart were my first pair of

And were formerly owned by my big brother

When he said: Can your mother make pants fit

said Daught for answer, but looked with dis

From these days of our childhood, alas we've
now parted;
Does your first pair of breeches ne'er give you
a thought?
Did they not fit you better, at least you did
think so,
Than those from the tailor that since you have

Rye.

This Is crop that ought not to be
neglected; but few field crops pay
better and but few will grow on so
many different soils. Sown from the
first to the middle of the month, it will
get well established before winter sets
in. 1t was the custom of our grand
fathers to SOW rye in the corn the last
time hoeing in July, but it was found
by experience that it is better to SOW
later In the season, say from the middle
Land that is to lie from September to
May without a crop on it, would be
very much improved by sowing wiLter
rye to be plowed in the spring as
green crop; by so doing the ground
will be enriched at less expense than by
any fertilizer that can be found in the
market, especially if it be land deficient
in vegetable substance.
The advantage of having land COW
cred with growing vegetation during
the late autumn and early spring
months, is more than it has usually
been considered. By keeping the land
covered during freezing weather it pre-
vents the great waste which occurs
when land lies exposed to freezing
weather and high winds of winter, and
the growth of the crop of rye during
the autumn and spring months collects
from the air gases which enter the crop,
and when plowed under and it decays,
it will produce both carbon and nitro

Relation Between Buyer and Seller.
Merchants are class of people that
are often looked upon as a set of bandits,
waging war against the pocket-books of
the people, and therefore fit prey for
the special police. If they can by any
method be induced to sell at less than
their regular rates, by brow-beating, by
plausible speech, by an old cry, sit is
naught, it is naught," it is considered a
great feat of genius on the part of the
buyer. Buying at cash rates, the good
nature of the merchant is often taxed by
those ominous words, please to charge
it, and when payment is offered a year
later, and the poor seller adds six per
cent. interest, he is looked upon with
holy horror as little better than a
thief or an assassin. Now we give
few rules, that, if needed, will cause an
era of good feeling:
l. Never try to ''beat down" Go to
honest men and pay them what they
ask. With the competition now exist
ing in all branches of business, there is
no danger of paying more than an arti-
Gle Is worth.
2. If you buy at cash rates and get
trusted do not complain because inter
est is charged on your bill The mer-
chant who buys for cash cannot afford
to wait payment for goods without an
equivalent.
B. Buy IN your own town, so far as
possible, and patronize those who help
build your school-houses, make your
roads, and who are expected 10 respond
to all calls for charity, or for public i'm
provements.
4. Settle all old accounts, before the
new year commences, like honest men.
Heed these simple rules and add to
your own peace of conscience and the
good nature of our business men,
