Ear. BoOkwaIter's Mummy.

A Springfield (Obio) letter says
THE mummy of an Egyptian prin-
cess is one Of the most interesting
objects in the collection. 1t was OBJ
tanned by Mr., Bookwalter from Brusch
Bey, of the Boulak Museum, Cairo.
So wonderfully preserved are the
features Of the princess that it is
thought that any one who knew her
in life would be able to recognize her
as embalmed The old girls body
and face are as black as night. and
look tough and leathery. The fea-
lures are sharp and the mead narrow.
The flesh is considerably shrunken,
and the chin is very sharp The row
of front teeth are exposed to view,
and look like a circle of pearls. The
tongue protrudes slightly, and looks
like piece Of thin black sole leather.
In the case is a gilt mask, some
thing like those worn at masquerade
balls, which were put over the faces
of the embalmed bodies The three
hundred layers of cloth used in the
embalming process, and making
covering about three inches thick, are
cut from one side of the body, to
show the embalming process. The
mummy is placed in a magnificent
sarcophagus, wrought in gilt and col
ors, and with designs showing the
royal asp on the cover. The age of
of the princess is over $500 years
