a Description of the Process Employed In

For several weeks there have been
on exhibition in the Office of the clerk

they are here, where one gets, as a rule, 6 weeks grace. In Spain the body is fre- quently removed to the undertaker's shop few hours after death. In one of the largest of these establishments in Madrid, some years ago, an extraordinary sight was witnessed. A gentleman was brought in his "casket" one afternoon, and placed in the room set apart for that branch of the business. The proprietor lived over his premises, and on this special evening was giving grand ball. When the ball was at its height gentleman in full evening dress suddenly joined the company. He danced with the wife of the undertaken, and he danced with the undertaker's daughter, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. The undertaken thought he knew his face, but didn't like to be rude and ask him his name, but by and by all the guests depart ed, and the strange gentleman was the only one left. "Shall I send for a cab for you ?" said the host at last. "No, thank you" replied the gentleman "Tm staying in the house." Staying in the house 1" ex- claimed the undertaken who are you sir ?" "What don't you know me? I'm the corpse that was brought in this afternoon.
 The undertaken, mortified, rushed to the mortuary room and found the coffin empty. His wife and daughter had been dancing with corpse. An explanation, of course, followed. The gentleman, who had only been in trance, had suddenly recovered, and hearing music and revelry above, and having keen sense of humor, he got out of his coffin (the Spanish coffin closes with lid, which is only locked just previous to interment) and joined the festive party. He was quite presentable, as in Spain the dead are generally buried in full evening dress.-LOndOn Referee.
