PRESERVES THE DEAD.

Missouri Earth lis Better Than Any EN-
balming Fluid.
a most singular fact in relation to
the remarkable preservation of human
bodies inferred ut Glenwood Springs,
Mo-, presumably by the chemical proper
ties OF the everything lime strata, has
just como to light. The old cemetery
in Glenwood Springs, says the Globe
Democrat, was abandoned somo years
ago, when the town grew and enlarged
its limits so that the burying ground
became included therein, and a beauti-
full and romantic spot overlooking the
valley was chosen for the homes of the
dead on n mesa not far from the old
burial site. When, a comparatively
short time afterward, on account of the
rapid growth of the town, it was de-
cided to remove the remains of the pio-
neers from the old to the new cemetery,
but little attention was given the mat
ter beyond that shown by the local au-
thoritles in seeing that the work of dis
intermcnt was properly carried out,
which was left in charge of the sexton.
There were about thirty bodies to re-
move, and they were all in time inferred
in the new cemetery. The work was
done slowly, and scarcely anybody but
the sexton and his assistants were
present when grave was opened, and
when the remains were taken out they
were not disturbed but left inclosed in
tho collins, which were found in n re-
markable state of preservation, consid-
ering the fact that they had been buried,
in many cases, from five to seven years.
This finally led to an inspection by the
sexton, out of mere curiosity, of one of
the bodies. and great was his surprise
to find the remains in the condition of
those that had only been inferred but
short time-that is before dccompo-
sition had set in. The body was not
shrunlen nor in any way changed, ap-
parently, from what it was when first
buried, but, on the contrary, the flesh
was soft, the limbs pliable, and the
features as natural as life. Many of
the other bodies-in fact, all of those
that were exhumed after the condi-
ton of the one mentioned was discoy-
ered, were found to be in the same ex-
tr&ordinary state of preservation.

cards suspended by six strings tied
around the necks of six pretty girls at
church fair at Burns. Mich, one night
lately. When the curtain was drawn
displaying the aggregation of tempting
sweetness within the reach of all who
possessed the necessary quarter, there
was temporary. painful, Mushing
pause, broken soon by rcaounding
smacks, giggling and the jingle of coin.
The show lasted only few minutes.

THE kHEDIVlA.
"A Woman Who Was the Solo WHO OF tho
Late Tewnk.

Woman Who Was the Solo WHO OF tho
Late Tewnk.
The foremost wife of the late khedive
OF Egypt, formally known rs tho
khedivia, is worthy of considerable
notice, as being in advance both of her
race and her period, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. Her royal husband did
not by any means neglect his harem,
but more than any sovereign of his class
he elevated her above the common
throng. Up to 1887 she had never seen
man save the llhedivc, and the first
that She did see, save him, was pho
tographer. She was pretty, and she
wanted the world to know it. A little
later-in 1SS9-an American lady, who
had some considerable reputation as an
artist, was employed to paint her por-
trait. 1t is from this picture that current
representations of her face mostly come.
She made and insisted upon some start
ling departures from the habits of her
race, and yet they did not go so very
lar. She never received" with her
royal husband. When he gave ball
she could only look through the lat
tlce. But She gave audience constantly
to women, talking French only and
exhibiting both charming manners and
bright mind. In 1889 she was de-
scribed by one who saw her as thirty
one years old and complaining that she
was getting fat and very old"-"a
pomegranate face, still lovely enough
In slightly heavy way, with liquid
brown eyes, pretty, pouting mouth
and a dimple in tho chin-unmis-
takably, however, double chin"
One sometimes met her with the whole
harcm driving in close carriages out to
tho desert. To contemplate the monu-
mental pyramids and to guess at the
riddle of the sphinx Dear, mol To
sit and cat bonbons, each out of her
embroidered bag" The portrait can be
seen in Cairo-"a rich, warm color
scheme of golden browns in the fur
edged velvet robe, with yellow lace in
side; pearls in the dark, braided hair;
face that not infrequently suggests
the houri of the Koran, and hand
which, though delicatcly formed, seems
more that of a baby than an empress"
