Ahead of the Egyptians.

Talk about Egyptian embalming, -
said a Chicago undertaken. why, IL
don't compare with what we do nowadays.
Those old Egyptians didn't know what
art was in the profession of undertaking,
There Is too much nonsense afioat about
the lost art of emhalming as practiced by
the Egyptians. In the first place their
climate is Of kind TO preserve dead ami
NAL tissue whether il is embalmed or
not 1t is very dry in Egypt and the
temperature is even. The boasted mum
mics of Egypt are simply dried up speci-
mems of skin and bones. To-day we can
enbalm body so that it will preserve
the fullness and hue of life, and it will
never dry up at all. II the modern pro
cess of emhalmiGC had been known to the
Egyptians of several thousand years,
those old kings who were laid away in
the pyramids for us mOderns to look at
instead of presenting the appearance of
tanned leather would have the kingly
dignity OF form and feature which was
theirs when their bodies were laid away
for the last long eep."-Chicago Paper

French and English Aristocracy.

In spite of its inCapacity for leadership
in democratic age, | think the French
aristocracy has, on one or two points,
preserved more of the purely aristocratic
las distinguished from the plutocraticl
sentiment than the British To become
poor, even moderately poor, in England
is to lose caste, To become rich is to ac-
quire caste, and this is the sign that
the aristOCratic sentiment about ancestry
has given place to the plutocratic senti-
ment about wealth.
Those who really belong TO the French
noblcsse are in no danger Of losing their
hirthright of aristocratic consideration
or any degree of poverty that does not
make decent appearance impossible and
that does not compel them to engage in
some money earning occupation. The
gentry and their descendants have no
prejudice against decent aristocratic
poverty, and they have the genuine old
ariStocratiC prejudice against work
They dcspise all wealth that is not in
herited and value only the results Of the
labors of the dead. Even literature and
the fine arts become degrading as soon as
they are lucrative, sentiment quite op-
posed to the general modern opinion in
France. All the forms of trade are de
spicable for aristOcrsts, and when they
hear Of fan,ily that has been in trade
they say, with an air of genteel ignor-
ance about the nature of the business,
Ills ont vendu quelque chose. "-P. G.

Bismarck's Model Household.

On the score Of morrls the German
statesman is irreproachabIe. His affec-

New Way to Sell uooas,

A new method OF selling goods on com
mission has been discovered Recently q
sale was announced in u private residence
In an ultra-faShionable part of the city
The announcement was Of small interest,
for it was well known that the house,
though pretentiOus in appearance, was
furnished most scantily. What was the
surprise of the first strollers-in to find the
parlors mcst eXquisitely furnished and
fairly a-glitter with costly bric-a- brio
and bronzes. The same splendor was
repeated in the drawing and dining rooms
and bed chambers. Costly rugs lay on
the floors; expensive curtains hung al
the windows; one and all brought exor.
bitant prices and reaped n whirlwind OF
questions. The secret has leaked out.
The house was arranged" for the sale
the goods were loaned by enterprisine
merchants, and the far seeing head of the
house pOcketed a neat little sum or
the commission principle. e.-Philadelphis

Doc, the Mind Ever SIeep?

It is COntended by many that it is only
possible to dream when in n restless or
disturbed state of mind; that when in
sound sleep the mind is dormant, and
wholly inactive; hut while no direct
proof can he brought 10 bear upon this
point there is an aCCumu ulation of CirCum-
stantial evidence which would lead to a
different conclusion. Though il be true
that in restless, half sleep and half
awake state, we are enabled to recall Our
dreams with more or less Clearness, it
only goes To show that we are then en-
RhlGd to make use Of faculties sufficiently
alert to fix in memory the imaginative
adventures of the night, but none, even
the wisest. are able to demonstrate that
the mind ever sleeps, although it may
temporarily relinquish its hold upon the
human mechanism by means whereof it
IS wont to express itself in a manner in
dependcntly Of it.
Such would seem TO he the case in the
very many well attcsted instances Of
doubles" or what the Germans call
"doppclgangers, " wherein the intangible
resemblance of one still on this side of
life. has been known TO present itself in a
most incXpliCablc manner. to some near
and dear relative or friend, and been seen
and recognized and COnversed with. when
in fact, the individual thus personitied

One of Herrmann's Tricks.

One story he relates is worth repeating.
He was suulmering at a foreign water
ing place, and was constantly besieged bv
the Countess Somebody to perform some
OF his tricks. He pleaded that he was on
his vacation, and that he desired to rest.
Finally she cornered him in a pavilion
overlooking the sea, and in the presence
of large company entreated him to show
them what he could do You have a
beautiful necklace" he said at last;
please let ME have it, The countess
complied, and Hermann immediately
threw the costly chain of gems into the
ocean. How dare you do that?r de
mandcl the count angrily
Without replying, Herman reached
forward and brought forth large bOu-
quet from the inside of the gentlcman's
coat. Handing it to the countess, he
6ade her open it. ''She did So says
Hermann, laughingly telling the story.
''and right in the bouquet she found her
necklace. Now that was real nice,
wasn't it,

WILL NOT WEAR HIMSELF OUT.

{

We are averse 10 betraying screts of

/ to put before the public the curious Ian
! guaCe' and the more curiOus dOings of
Mr.. Wallace y. Reed, an esteemed men,
Der of The Constitution staff
Mr.. Reed says: If you will sit down
and stay down you will live forever 1t
is exercise that wears a man out. The
man who sits is the man who lasts ~
Mr.. Reed has long practised his newly de-
clared philosophy. He has never been in
the kimhall house. Only once in five
years has he been in the Union depot 1t
is six years since he saw Whitehall street
and fifteen since he saw McDonough
He has been to the theatre once in four
years and never TO baseball.
His home, by the air line he takes, is
300 yards from the Office. Twice a day
he walks this For five years he has not
averaged fifty yards day extra walking.
One pair Of shoes has lasted him three
years. He carries an umbrella always
and never looks beyond its bending rim.
One day his umbrella was pushed aside
rudely, and looking out he saw half a
dozen elephants and some camels cross
ing the path. He carefully picked his
way through the unexpected caravan and
on reaching the office remarked that there
must be circus in town
Here, then is the man who sits. For
twelve hours every day he sits at his
desk; four hours he sits at home 1t
takes twelve minutes to walk 800 yards
four times each day. He sleeps seven
and half hours. His health is perfect
His appetite is keen, his brain clear and
his capacity for work remarkable He
is never sick day or an hour or a min
ute. He is genial, fresh. bright and
does not age a shade. His knowledge of
men and things is unusual. The only
character in books that perplexes him is
The Wandering jew" Il cannot
understand" he says, ''how he lived SO
long when he was continually moving
about. :" He has never seen Grants park
or Peters park, and says he will prOba-
bly, never see Whitehall street again OF

Il do not care to wear myself out" " he
says, therefore / sit down. Col Thomp-

An Old Soldier Relates Some Thrilling War
Experiences.
II is always fascinating recreation for
us TO listen to q conversation between sol
diers. Therefore 1t was quite agreeable.
Wednesday morning for us TO stop awhile
in the court house hall and pay attention
while Recorder Jordan and Abram ReamS
talked over the terrible days of ChancellOrS-
vile. During the talk Mr.. Reams told the
following experience, brief it may be, but
not without its excitement.
During the fight his regiment had gone
near TO the crest Of hill which overlooked
the fighting. Being a little curious he crept
TO the top. and for some time lay there
watching the streams OF fire and puffs of
blue smoke which marked the fight of
shells. Soon after he felt himself touched
by a sword point, and q man asked, Are
you much hurt?''
Looking around lie discovered member
Of New York Zouave regiment, which
had inst come up. He replied that he wasn't
hurt at all. The Zouaye then told him that
his regiment had gone, and he would better
hunt it up.
Somewhat anxious he started in pursuit,
and on his way had occasion to cross a field.
No fighting was in progress near 1t, but
there had been hard fighting there not long
before, as it was full Of dead bodies.
In the middle Of the field was a shanty
built for the cOmmissary, and there seemed
10 be good quantity of supplies there.
Carefully approaching lit he helped
himself 10 bacon. coffee and SUI
gar. As he was thus employed, col
ored soldier, evidently from the midst
of the fight, came up and asked il 1t was
free treat. Reams said he guessed so.
and the colored man began to take his pOr-
tiOn. BY this time Reams had what he
wanted and was standing near by talking
with his comrade when shell struck the
colOred man in the breast, tore him to atoms
and scattered fragments of his body for rods
around.
Reams got ont Of there on quick walk
as he expressed il. spent the night in a gul-
ly, and next morning joined his regiment
on the ridge in time to have hand in the
great fight of the day.-Urbana Citizen.
