When a member oi Nj llgypdl-n fam
lily died, all the lcla ives put on morun-
ing and abstained from baths, wine aud
tlclicacies Of all kinds from 40 to so
days, according to the rank of the per-
son deceased. Death in one respect put
an end to all distinctions that had pre-
vailed in life, and king and slave were
subject to the same law.
The record of the life Of the deceased
had to be examined by a tribunal of 49
Judges before he could be given burial
with his ancestors. II the deeds of his
life proved that he was worthy Of
burial, his body was carried across the
sacred lake, of which each province had
one, and was therespcrmitted to rest. If
the Judges found him unworthy, even
though he belonged to the highest rank,
he could not DO buried with his ances-
tors. The body was returned to his rela-
tives and was buried ON the side of the
lake opposite to the burial place cf the
just.
The belief of the Egyptians in q fu.
ture state of existence gave rise to the
practice of embalming the dead. They
wished to carefully preserve the body,
SO that the soul upon its return TO its
former abode at the end Of all things
might find it ready for its reception.
Bodies were embalmed in three differ
ent ways. The most expensive and mag
nifioent method was used upon the bod
les of kings and other persons Of dis
tinguished rank, the cost amounting to
talent of silver, or $010.
A number of persons were employed
in the process of embalming, aud they
were treated with great respect They
filled the cavities of the body with
myrrh, cinnamon, spices and many
kinds of sweet smelling drugs.
After a certain time had elapsed the
body was swathed in lawn fillets, which
were glued together with kind of thin
gum, and then crusted over with costly
perfumes. By this mode of embalming
the shape of the body, the lineaments
of the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes
were preserved in their natural perfec-
tion. Bodies thus embalmed are what
we now call Egyptian mummies Phil.

NEW CURE FOR DlpArHgRlA.

European Hospitals Practicing n Method Of
Blood InocuIatIOn.
So many thousands of children are
annually carried off by diphthcria, the
suffcriugs caused by the disease are so
agonizing and the remedies hitherto at
the disposal of the medical profession SO
inadequate that the news of the intro
duction into the Berlin and London hos
pitals of new and eflicacious cure for
.his fell malady cannot be regarded
otherwise than as matter Of public in
terest.
Very little has lcen heard about this
remedy, owing { , tie fact that the dis
tingrished bacterioloSists engaged in
its diacovciy have been unwilling to
subject themselves TO the same disad-
vantage as DR.. Koch, whose cure for
consumption has been unjustly pro-
claimed failure merely because it
was published to the world prcmaturely
and btfore it was ready for medical ap-
plication. The new cure, briefly speak
ing. Is one of inoculation, with this
difierencc-that, instead of injecting
tho poison into the system of the pa
tient, one injccts the blood of an ami
NAL which has been inoculated with a
weak culture of the diphtheria bacte-
ria, the virus of the latter being, how
ever, of so weak character that it does
not affect the animal with the malady,
but merely renders 1t immune thereto.
Repeated experiments made of late
have shown that few drops of blood
from horse or any other animal thus
rendered immune injected into hu-
man being suffering from diphtheria
are sufficient to arrest and cure the dis
ease. OF course it is too soon as yet to
quote the statistics of the few hundreds
of cures which have been effected in
Berlin and London by this treatment,
which is to be fully discussed in all its
complicated scientific aspects at the
Forthcoming international congress Of
hygiene in September at Budapest But,
whatever the ultimala result of its ap-
plication, it has at lest one advantage
over all other FERNS of inoculation hith-
erto Overwhelmingly, that the matter
injected into the system of the patient
is free from poison and consequently
harmless. New York Tribune.

A Unique prescription For the liver.

A young clerk whose sedentary life
and lack of exercise have left him with a
sluggish liver and all the evil conse-
quences thereof visited a well known
physician recently and was advised to
regulate his diet to the utmost plain
ness and to take horseback exercise daily.
The young man frankly told the doctor
that he could not afford to keep or to
hire a horse. The doctor asked him
where he was employed and was told
that he was a clerk in certain corpora
tion which is housed in Aa enormous
building on Broadway, and that his
office was on the tenth floor.
Quoth the doctor: That's just the
thiLg. You don't need to hire a horse.
Walk briskly down the 10 flights OF
stairs three times day, and it will do
your liver just as much good as II you
were jolted on horseback during an
hours ride. +"
Tho gentleman's friends will proba-
bly, appreciate after they have read this
why he persists in walking down stairs
at a good gait instead of taking the ele-
vator. The doctor added that no excer-
Else was more gently stimulating than
walking down stairs and nothing more
severe than walking mp st....s. New

An Explanation From DisraeIi.

Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, discoursing on
the house CT commons, related a capital
story Of Disraeli. 1t was during the
Russo Turkish war, and while relations
were very strained between England
and the car a member was indiscreet
enough to put question to Disraeli,
who was then prime minister, as to the
policy of the government in the event OF
the emperor Of Russia doing certain
act.
Me1nbe snuddered as Disraeli, with
most funereal face, slowly advanced to
the table. The question, he declared,
in a slow, measured voice, was one OF
such perilous moment that the honor
able member acted most unwisely in
putting it on the paper. yet it was a
question of such Importance that the
only course now open to the government
was to accept the inevitable and bold
ly answer. ''If,'' declared Disraeli,
"the emperor takes this step, all car
say is-and I am speaking after pro
Ionged consultation with my colleagues
tho government will then give tn
policy they a1s to pursue their very bes
consideration. Westminster Gazettt

at a distance of some 200 feet. 1t is

feet 2 inches In circumference. The
face is feet 5 inches long and from
ear to ear II feet inches wide. The
eyes, which are pure gold, are nearly 2
feet long. The circumference Of the
thumb is 5 feet. These figures give
some idea Of the size, and tlse figure is
elevated on stone platform some ~
to 10 feet above the person approaching
it. But no description can convey an
idea of the majesty OF the face. 1t is

The Visible and Invisible.

The wisest Indian philosophy has
never boggled, like ours, over that silly
word supernatural. - The Upanishaa
says, "What is in the visible exists al
so in the invisible, and what is in
Brahms world is also here" The
ultimate, albeit unreachable, is as real
to the Asiatic mind as rice, and in the
Bhagavad-Gita Arjuna is actually per-
mitted to behold the embodied infinite.
Indeed it israther this present existence
which India regards rs the illusion, the
maya. To see the stars we must wait
for night, and to live we must die.
Nor is it uninteresting to note in Hin
doc classics how these large and happy
serenities Of oriental view have softenea
aarsonifcations Of death.-Sir Edwin
Arnold.
