Dancing with a Corpse.

Burials alive are far more common in
hot countries, where the burial takes
place within twenty-four hours after
death, than they are here, where one
gets, as a rule, a weeks grace. In Spain
the body is frequently removed to the
undertaker's shop a few hours after
death. In one of the largest of these es-
adjustments in Madrid, some years ago,
an extraordinary sight vas witnessed. A
gentleman was brought in his ''casketn
one afternoon and placed in the room set
apart for that branch of the business.
The proprietor lived oven his premises,
and on this especial evening was giving
a grand ball When the ball was at its
height a 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 did not like to be rude and ask
him his name; but by and by all the
guests departed, and the strange gentle
man was the only one left. ''Shall !
send for "A cab for your said the host at
last. mo, thank you, replied the gen.
tleman; I'm staying in the house"
Staying in the houser' exclaimed the
undertaken; ''who are you. sir?'
''What, don't you know met I'm the
corpse that was brought in this after
noon" The undertaken, Mortified,
rushed to the mortuary Don and found
the coffin empty. His wife and daugh-
ter had been dancing with a corpse. An
explanation, Of course, followed. The
gentleman, who had only been in a
trance, had suddenly recovered, and

having a keen sense Of humor, had got
