Among the standard medicine.
quoted IN the medical books OF Nur.
emberg or 200 years ago are 'por.
tions of the embalmed bodies of mems
flesh brought from the neighborhood
of Memphis, where there are many
bodies that have been buried for more
than 1000 years, called mumia, which
have been embalmed with costly salves
and balsams, and smell strongly of
myrrh, aloes, and other fragran!
things"
The learned doctors OF Franco, Ger
many and Italy all made great use OF
this eccentric drug, and in the seven
teenth century grievous complaints
arose OF its adulteration. Mr.. Poinet,
chief apothetary TO the French king,
recorded that the kings physician
went to alexandria to Judge for him
self on this matter, and. having made
friends with Jewish dealer in mun1-
mics, was admitted to his storehGcse,
where he saw piles OF bodies.
He asked what kind of bodies
were used and how they were pro-
pared. The Jew informed him that
he took such bodies as he could get,
whether they died of some disease or
some contagion. He embalmed them
with the sweepings OF various old
drugs, ryrrh, aloes, pitch and gums;
wound them about with cere cloth and
then dried them in an oven, after
which he sent Their TO Europe and
marveled to see that the Christians
were lovers OF such dizziness. But
even this revelation did not suffice to
put mummy physic out OF fashion, and
we know that Francis l of France al
ways carried with him a well-hlled
medicine chest, OF which this was the
principal ingredient.
A traveller a'so records how one of
his friends found in the tombs OF
Ghizeh a jar carefully sealed, which
he opened and found to contain such
excellent honey that he could not re-
sist eating u good deal OF it, and was
only checked in his feast by drawing
out hair, whereupon he investigated
further and found the body OF an an
cient Egyptian baby in good condition
and adorned with jewels. He does not
record how he enjoyed that meal in
retrospect. Imagine dining off the
honeyed essence of baby Pharaohi

Natural Gas In Balloons.

As no other parties than myself and
the lady mentioned here have ever
used natural gas for ballooning, a
brief note OF the few ascents made with
1t may be OF interest The first assertion
was made by myself from Franklin.
Pa, Sept. 8, 1885. The gas arose from
wells thirty miles distant, at pres.
sure OF 700 pounds TO the square inch.
1t was admitted to the balloon at sixty
pounds pressure, through 1000 feet Of
one-inch pipe, heated throughout its
length to restore the caloric lost by ex-
pansion. Twelve thousand feet OF it
lifted about $50 pounds. So very
light balloon had to be used, and only
twenty pounds OF ballast WIS carr led.
Sept TO-, 1886, CarlOtta, the WELL
known lady expert bolloonist. arose
from the same place with larger and
still lighter balloon, carrying sixty
pounds of ballast. She few ninety

America over four miles where the
barometer carried failed to register at

With the same balloon a third as

WHY THEY MARRIED.

The Secret OF the Many Suitors
for Some Homeiy Girls.
In an old book written by a Western
congressman, contemporary OF Clay
and Webster, containing "reminiscences
Of his times, story is told OF one of his
friends. a farmer in Kentucky named
Payne, who had six daughters, none of
whom were blessed with beauty. Tho
congressman knew them in their home
~ youth, and when he returned u few
years later found them all married to
good. influential men. So great was
his surprise that he venturcd to ask
their father why they all had been SO
sought when other girls remained neg
lected. The old farmer chuckled.
% Yes, and you may say when they
had neither dover nor good looks.
Well, I'll tell you. When l want my
cattle to eat buckwheat stubble instead
OF grass l don't drive them into at
field. l fence it of from them. They
are so contrary that they always want
the thing they can't get. They break
down the fence; i drive them out and
put 1t up. BY the time they fight for
1T once or twice they think they like the
stubble.
We'll, saw my girls were not the
most attractive kind, and Il fenced
them in!
'Yo on never found them in the hotels
dancin' or keepin' stalls at county fairs.
Young men to know them had to come
to their fathers house. When the
neighbors saw how the Payne girls
were kept apart from the crowd they
thought their value must be high.
Young men came to break down the
fence. They like TO break down fences''

"He need never know. Who're are

1.-The ladies are in the drawing

"Then / am very sorry, but can
not do what you ask" Tessa answered
FIRMLY. II have stayed too long as it
70; l must go back now"
She cast an anxious glance behind
her as she spoke, then held out her
hand to Antony.
''Good-bye; I am sorry, but l can
not do 1t, she faltered as she met tho
look OF intense pleading il mis- eyes.
Vainly she tried to draw her hand
from his determined clasp.
"Think little, Miss Caroline, be-
fore you refuse" he said in low pas
sionate voice. perhaps you cannot
understand what this is to mellow /
long to see her again. No, you don't
understand mellow can you? But
some day, perhaps, when the one
who loved you best is lying dead and
cold, and your heart is aching vainly
for one last look before the earth
hides the dead face from you forever,
then you will understand.
Tessa looked up with awe-struck
solemn eyes. The words sounded like
a prophecy in her ears. What if
Antony should be right-that some
day she should long and long vainly
for one last look upon some dear dead
face? She drew her hands suddenly
away.
"Wait here. l will see il it is pos
sible," she said; and, without waiting
to hear Antony's incoherent words o,
gratitude, she ran quickly back to the
house.

THE CARE OF FLOWERS.

A solution OF tobacco soap will keep
the aphis away from honeysuckles.
Cuttings should always be made from
healthy plants, otherwise they are sure
to be poor and diseased.
Florists say nothing is to be gained
by starting gladioluses in the house in
advance OF the outdoor planting time.
Do not wet the leaves OF Rex Be-
gonlas, as 1T causes them to spot, max
ing holes in the leaves and finally de-
stroying them.
1t is the nature OF the Poinsettia to
drop its leaves after blooming, when
grown in the sitting room. 1t often
drops them before, unless a good deal
OF water is used on its foliage.
The peony does we'll in a rather
heavy soil. After transplanting il is
often two or three years before the
plants bloom much, as they must be-

can be expected.

quite length OF time by putting few
drops OF liquid ammonia in the water
In which they are placed. This water
