business to find out wherein this particu-

Yesterday I made the necessary inquir-

was built at the Franklin foundry. 1
called on the courteous gentleman who
was In charge and learned that my pre-
vious information from MI. Manner, Jr.,
was correct. The truck referred to Is con-
structed upon scientific but simple prin-
ciples which assure no Jar or
oscillating movement, the absolute alb

weight than ordinary trucks without in
any manner dstracting from its strength

Is the best truck thus far placed upon q

of 30 inches from the track level. This in

of the b. r. Manner & Son trucks
on the Pswtucket line and four of the
improved form and latest design

Two Games From Binghamton and
Providence Is Second In Race.
Providence played two games with
Binghamton yesterday and won them
both, thereby passing WIlkesb barre In the
pennant race apd securing, q good grip
Just a little behind Troy now the
only team In the path OF victory for
the Grays. Binghamton was easy yester-
'day and wasn't In either of the games at
10 stage. Nearly 1900 patrons saw the
. nome team climb. Clean hitting n
y dashing base running convinced the Wis
itors that they were in too fast company.
Rudderham was bard to reach but
Marshall pitched up big ones that were
smashed right In the middle. Rudder-
ham tried to stop q hot one In the third
inning and after that he was out OF the
game through the injury. Egan did the
pitching after this and in the start
three runs were scored. One was all they
get after that, and IL was q homer over
left fence by Rafter. The Grays kept
pounding out run until the seventh
Innings, when the score was 10 to 4.
The opening game was just practice for
the Grays, who gave q great exhibition In
the second game. The Bingos, on the
other hand, were rather ragged, md also
unlucky. Sullivan again demonstrated
that he was a king-pin pitcher and had
the visitors at his mercy. His support
was superb. The Grays batted Delaney at
will and won hands down.

WHAT IS A MUMMY
AChapter ofInteresting Information Abou
 Some Egyptian Customs.

AChapfer or ofInterestfng Information About
 Some Egyptian Customs
 When a member of an Egyptian fam lily died, all the relatives put on mourn ing and abstained from baths, wine and delicacies of all kinds from 40 to 60 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 n tribunal of A judges before he could be given burial with his ancestors. If the deeds of his life proved that he was worthy of burial, his body was carried across tho sacred lake, of which each province had one, and was there permitted to rest. If the judges found him unworthy, even though he belonged to the highest rank, he could not be 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 of the just.
 The belief of the Egyptians in 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 it's 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 nificent method was used upon the bod ies of kings and other persons of dis tinguished rank, the cost amounting to talent of silver, or S610.
 A number of persons were employed in the process of embalming, and 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 a 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- ion. Bodies thus embalmed are what we now call Egyptian mummies. Phil adelphia Times.
