ANTICIPATING GABRIEL.
Bodies Resurrected and Placed on Show
in the Cemetery Mt Palermo.


A correspondent Of the New York Her.
airs London edition gives q thrilling ac-
count of the method Of exhibiting disin-
tered corpses in vogue at the Gene
tery of the Capucini at Palermo. The
earth there, powdered tuf rock, has
the property Of so Fastening de-
composition that within year bodies
are reduced TO skin and bones, somewhat
like mumies. Then they are clothed and
displayed in rows by tho "piety of sur
viying kindred. The visitor descends q
flight of stairs into q well-lit corridor.
Corpses stand on either side Of the pas
sage, brushing your sleeve rs you walk.
Some keep their collins, but glazed or
wired side or lid shows you another YER
sion of the same grim spectacle. Few, OF
the men are clothed in anything bat the
monks uniform.
The Idreti of the priests are sometimes
tilted tipsily over the noseless faces some
times iauntily over the eyeless eye-orbits.
Some bodies have been regularly en-
balmed. These poor shades are ticketed.
like the blind beggars who parade the
streets of London. and their names and
death-dates figure on their placards.
Undoubtedly the ugliest of the sights is
the ladies' gallery. Corpse worship here
has prompted freaks of burlesque MILL
merry. such az the trimming Of vacant
skulls with deep frills of lace. One poor
shade lay in purple silk. A young lady's
mummy was adorned with silver crown,
fantastic shoes. open-work stockings. and
white kid gloves.
Imagine coming to pay your devoirs to
the ladies with whom you used to dance.
TO your hostess of former years, to the
members of your family, to. the wife OF
your bosom, and being received by these
phantoms of grizzly bone. These bedi-
zened skeletons! These rag and bone
things, aping humanity! 1t is too horri-

When five or six men get together and

each one told some pretty tail stories.
There was man from Syracuse who laid

Insurance. and Murder.

Children are now insured before they are
born, and at the payment of one penny a
week. This insures a sum which far lhore
than covers the funeral expenses, and tne
same child is often insured in more than
one Office. Under such system the iather
or mother may mako a profit of three OF
four pounds on the death Of a oaps,
