WHAT is A MUMMY
AChapter of Intercsting Information About
Some Egyptian Customs.


When a member of an Egyptian fam.
lily died, all the relatives put OH mourn
ing and abstained from baths, vino and
dolicacles Of all kinds from 40 to 60
days, according to tho rank of the per-
son deceased. Death i'll ono respect put
an end to all distinctions that had pre-
vailed i'll life, and king and slave were
subject to the same law.
The record of the life of tho deceased
had to be examined by q tribunal of 40
judges before he could DO given burial
with his ancestors. If tho 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 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 OH the sido of the
lake opposite to tho burial place of the
just.
The belief of tho Egyptians in fu-
turo state of existence gavo rise to the
practice of embalming tho dead. They
wished to carefully preserve the body,
so that tho soul upon its return to its
former abode ut the end of all things
might find it ready for its reception.
Bodies We're embalmcd i'll three differ
emit ways. The most expensive and mag
nificent method was used upon the bod
les of kings and other persons of dis
tinguished rank, the cost amounting to
n talent of silver, $Gl0.
A number Of persons were employed
III tho process of embalming, and they
wero treated with great respect They
filled the cavities of the body with
myrrh, cinnamon. spices and many
kinds of sweet smelling drugs
After certain time had elapsed the
body was swathod in lawn fillets, which
were glued togcthcrwith kind of thin
gum, and then crustcd over with costly
perfumes. BY this mode of cmbalming
the shape of the body, the incamcnts
of the face, tho eyebrows and oyclashcs
wcrc preserved in their natural perfcc-
ton. Bodies thus embalmcd arc what
We now call Egyptian mummies. Phil
