A New MINIMIZING Process.

From the New York Times.
new process Of cremation and mummifying
has been proposed in France, based upon the
well-known and successful experiments in plat
ing with copper or other metals, by means of
electrolysis the most delicate tissues of grasses,
leaves and skins. At the Paris exhibition of
1881 beautiful variety of objects thus metal
LIKED was shown, and at that date an English
wrier suggested, half humorously that the
process might in the future be employed for
inclOsing their remains, by way Of q modern
improvement on the ancient Egyptian mummy.
The Frenchmen have apparently taken this
idea au serieux and as an experiment have
actually plated a dead child. The result is a
perfectly faithful statue of the subject, truer
to life than any sculptor could hope to achieve.
The metallic shell is strong enough to Withstand
shocks. To receive the electroplating Of COP
per. aluminium or gold, as the case may be,
the skin is prepared by a bath Of nitrate of
silver. and the silver reduced upon it by the
vapor Of phosphorus There are also various
other ways Of providing the necessary ''elec-
trOde" on which to deposit the coating
1t has been objected that the gases Of decom-
position might burst the metallic she'll but it is
proposed to overcome this by cremating the
the gases. The ashes might be allowed to re-
main inside the metal covering, which would
thus become q cinerary urn and mummy case,
reliquary and a statue Of the dead person all
in one, capable of being preserved in the house
or mausoleum to remote antiquity. The ances-
trail portrait gallery might in fact become a
collection Of statues as faithful to life as the
photograph and more durable than the wood
or porphyry Of the Pharoahs.

The Business Has . Matrimonial Future,
Which 10 an Advantage.
'Why do men 90 frequently marry their type
writers?" said government official in CONVEX
sation with q writer for The star. 1T Is q
mystery easily solved. Though bachelor, I
myself am safe comparatively, though have
the spperintendence Of six attractive young
manipulators Of the letter keys. In their num-
Der is my security, inasmuch as cannot wed
them all. Surprising that had but one in the
Office there would be some danger perhaps"
The official winked one eye and added:
You hear the pretty typewriter spoken Of
a. If she possessed more attractions than other
girls. This seems to be inferred from the fact
that she sofrequently is married By her en-
ployer. The conclusion is not indorsed by my
own observation. Young women who do type
writing are no prettier than those who pursue
other occupations for living. What, then, is
the secret?
1t is the secret Of most marriages-pro-
pinquity. Put two persons Of opposite sex,
their affections not otherwise engaged, to-
gether, and, supposing that there is no insur-
youth on the woman's part, you have estab-
iished the normal conditions for falling in
love. The typewriter, pretty or otherwise, and
her employer are brought into constant daily
contact. III he is bachelor or a widower the
chances are always good that he will marry
her. We're / girl DESTROYS to be married, I
would learn typewriting and hire myself olt to
single gentlemen. In no other occupation for
women that know of is there matrimonial
future.
ut is p ropinquity that explains why hand
some men are SO apt to parry ugly women, and
vice versa. Beauty is only the bait, its use be-
ing merely to draw the prey within reach. Con-
tiguity once established, by occidental or other
means, the rest naturally follows. I know it all,
you see-because l am bachelor"

Jeweler Who Knows When to Accept Q
Strangers Check.
From the New York Sun.
A young man who wanted to buy some pretty
jewelry for his best girls Christmas dropped
into one Of the John street jewelry shops the
other day. He selected handsome bracelet
which cost $40. He didn't happen to have 50
much money with him and told the man who
waited on him to put it aside for him and he
would call for it later in the day.
He noticed as he spoke that the man was
cycling him very intently. It made him feel
slightly uncomfortable, and the thought
flashed across his mind that the man did not
believe that he would return.
:, suppose you don't like to do that sort Of
thing" he said, ''but will come for it surely.

The man smiled and shook his head.
"Oh, no" he said, II wasn't thinking Of that
at all. Twas just going to say to you that there
is no need Of your coming down::again. Just
write out check for the amount and take the
bracelet along with you, or, if you prefer, will
send it to your address.
He took blank check from q drawer and
handed it to the customer, together with pen.
The customer was amazed.
why, how do you know that my check will
be good for anything9" he asked. 'You never
Il know" said the man quietly, "but that is
the way We do business. We have been doing
this for twenty years and never made mistake

human nature quickly and decidedly and it is
upon our judgment that we offer this con-
venience to certain customers. We don't do it

He had made no mistake in this instance
and the customer filed out the check and took

The Use Of Water Before Meals.

FROM the British Medical Journal.
The good effect Of water drunk freely before
meals has beneficial results 1t washes axav
the mucus which is secreted by the
mucous membrane during the intervals of
repose, and favors peristalsis Of the whole ali
mentary tract. The membrane thus cleansed
is in a much better condition to receive food
and convert it into soluble compounds The
accumulation Of mucus is especially well
marked in the morning. when the gastric walls
are covered with thick, tenacious layer. Food
entering the stomach at this time viii become
covered with this tenacious coating, which for
a time protects it from the action of the gastric
ferments, and SO retards digestion. Exercise
before partaking of a meal stimulates the cir
culation OF the blood and facilitates the flow of
blood through the vessels. glass of water
washes out the mucus, partially distends the
stomach, wakes up peristalsis and prepares the
alimentary canal for the morning meal. Ac-
cording to DIR. Leuf. who has made this subject
special study, cold water should be given to
persons who have sufficient vitality to react and
hot water to Others. In chronic gastric catarrh
1t is extremely beneficial to drink warm or hot
water before meals, and salt is said in most
cases to add to the good effect produced

Snow Two Miles Deep.

eyes, have been in country where the
snow is two miles deep" said N. b. Lazard,
mining expert from Tombstone. Ariz, ut the
Palmer House, Chicago, to q T,Eune reporter.
Mr.. Lazard was in the east during the recent
snow storm, and was talking about what the
people in Pennsylvania called blizzard.
They thought the two-foot fall Of snow was
something to talk about" continued the
visitor, but if they would visit Alaska about
200 miles up the Yukon river they would find
snow that for miles is go thick that the banks
almost reach the skies. If it keeps on accumu-
lating as fast it has during the last ten years
scientific men will not be able to say trutbfully
the earth is round.
II was in Alaska, in the Consofake region, in
1885, and that year the snow fall was quite
heavy. Snow that falls there remains, for il
never melts. A prospector named Jim Thomas
was with me during that trip, and one beauti-
full morning he fell from a glacier about 100
feet. The fall broke both his legs, one of his
arms and crushed in several ribs, besides injur-
ing him internally. He was conscious when
reached him and he told me he knew he was
going to die. He begged me to see that his
mother and sister In the east received all the
property he had left in Harrisburg. promised
and have fulfilled the trust Just before be died
he asked me to pray for him, AID for the first
time since had knelt beside my mother when
little boy got down on my knees and asked
God to receive the soul that was about +, de-
part. l prayed as never have prayed since.
and meant all said. There was a smile on
poor Thomas face when said Amen and with
a most peaceful expression ON his countenance
he breathed his last. buried him in the snow,
and today, If his body could be found, know
1t would look as natural as the moment he died
peaceful expression and all.
