To be sure there is messenger at his

After Death.

1t has been stated as fact that the
hair does grow after death. In 1854,
when the parish church of Turvey
was undergoing restoration, large
stone was raised which, some 800
years before, had been placed over
the remains OF Lady Johanne, wife OF
the second Lord Mordaunt. Her re-
mains appeared within a shroud OF
yellow silk, which retained its color
and firmness. Her dark auburn hair
had grown so much after death as to
fill up the space around and form a
mould for the head. This was the
testimony OF gentleman residing at
