Even Animals Were Embaimed.

Recent discoveries show that the
ancient Egyptians not only embaLmcd
the bodies Of their human dead, but
performed "A like operation upon the
remains Of animals, which, accord
ing TO their ideas, were sacred.
The list OF animals embalmed in
cludcs dogs, cats, monkeys, lions,
wolves, jackals, foxes, hyenas, bears,
ichneumons, shrew mice, bulls, deer,
goats, sheep, hippopotami, vul-
lures, eagles, falcons, hawks, owls,
ibis, geese, swallows, crocodiles, toads,
lizards, serpents, fish OF various kinds,
rats, mice, beetles and ever insects
and flies. As Il rule, with the large
animals, the head only was mum
mied, the body being represented by
pieces Of wood. Some OF the ancient
customs regarding the sacred animals
are very quaint. II n cat died, the
owner Of the house shaved of his eye
brows; but If "A dog died, he shaved
his whole head, which would appear to
denote that dogs were held i'm greater
v%eneration than cats. The greatest
grief IA shown, the people beating
themselves and uttering dolcful cries.
The animal was then delivered 20 the
cmbalmer TO be prepared and de-
posted in the proper tomb. There
have been more mummies Of the ibis
found in Egypt than Of any other
bird or animal, but very few in a per-
feet state. At Memphis there are
thousands Of them i'm pots Of common
stone or blue ware, or Of hard polished
stone Of a heightened conical figure
even the eggs Of the ibis have been
found preserved. Hardly ever have
mummied animals been discovered i'm
the human tombs, and never by any
chance were amulets put with ami
mails. Crocodiles were cmbalmed
and deposited in catacombs purposely
excavated for them.

Tombstores for His Dumb Pets.

Coffin s.. Brown, who was II prom
incnt citizen OF Peekskill, n. Y, for
many years, and who died suddenly
several years ago, was considered
eccentric, IA was also his wife. The
fine Brown farm, where the couple
lived, was bought last year by DIR. f..
ID. Lyon.
Part Of "a ravinc on the farm,
through which n brook ran, was
leased TO the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad Company,
which constructed "A large stone dam
and reservoir there. In clearing the
premises various evidences Of the
eccentricities of the old couple were
found. Among them were the graves
Of "A number Of pet animals, marked
with fine marble headstoncs OF
unique design and artistically in
scribcd.
Below one Of the stones appa-
rently rested the body Of IA white
horse Mr.. Brown had driven for
many years. On the stone is in
scribcd

In another part OF the grounds are
two similar headstones, though
smaller, one being over n score OF

FORGOT EVEN HIS MOTHER.
A Mans Memory Gone ~ the Result
Of an Operation.

George C.. Hunter, OF Oakland, has
lost his memory as completely as il
he had never had "A brain, says the
San Francisco Examiner. He is alive
and well, goes about just like any or
binary person, but can recall nothing
OF his past life. His mind is a blank.
He does not remember his wife nor
his mother. Though he had a good
education he has forgotten how to
read or write, and the multiplication
table has fled into regions from which
that n face is familiar, but that is all.
The name of anything about the per-
son he cannot recall. The accident
bringing such consequences occurred
on the 18th Of October. Young Hun
ter was working on u locomotive in
the railroad roundhouse in West Oak
land when an iron plug was blown
from IA steampipe and struck him on
the head, fracturing the brain. He
was removed To DIR. Woolsey's hos
pital In an unconscious condition and
placed under the care OF DIR. Dunn. A
large part of the skull, where the iron
struck IL, was splintered and pressed
in against the brain. So serious was
the case that IL seemed almost hope
less to attempt to ave the mans life.
Nevertheless the attempt was made,
and from the surgeons stand
point it was a most successful
operation. Hunter lived. The
splintered portion of the skull
measuring about two inches in
width by four inches in length, was
carefully removed and the pressure
upon the brain relieved. IL was then
seen that the splintered bone had lac
Grated the membrane of the brain.
The doctors then began to cultivate
the injured brain and it's coverings.
The process OF granulation had gone
on day by day until the entire mem
brane had been restored. The gap i'm
the scalp will now be repaired by the
difficult operation which involves the
use of skin CRAFTS taken in long strips
from some other portions OF Hunters
body.
For a period of four weeks after the
accident Hunter lay in his cot in the
hospital unconscious. He gave no
sign of life save that he breathed.
Suddenly one morning consciousness
returned and memory was gone. All
his past was a blank. DIR. Woolsey
asked him his name, but Hunter only
shook his head and looked Mt him
wo%ndcringly. Paper and pencil were
given him and he wrote the letter
"g," but could go no further and
gave the paper back. When his
mother and his wife visited him he
looked Mt them for awhile and then
said that the faces seemed familiar,
but who they were he could not say.
Hunter is now able to walk about and
il TO all appearances well. He re-
members what Is told him, talks in
diligently about everything that has
happened since his return TO con-
seriousness, but back OF that he can

ESSENTIALS IN STRAWBERRY GROWING.

Professor Lazenby, before the CO.
lumbus Horticulture Society gave the
following summary of essential points
to be kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not cas-
lily influenced by differences in soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have a more local
reputation.
Pistillate varieties, when properly
fertilized, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of a variety for fertiliz4
ing pistillate flowers does not depend
% much upon the amount as upon the
potency of it's pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable to be injured by frost than.
the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very early
nor very late in point Of maturity, are
the most productive and have the
longest truiting season.
As a rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the least productive, while those with
. weaker growth of foliage and q
greater susceptibility to leaf blight
are usually the more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon we'll drained soils, but sp-
pears to be q necessity upon heavier
ones.
The leaf blight may be checked by
using the Bordeaux mixture, beginning
Just as soon rs the leaves appear, and
continuing the application every few
weeks throughout the season. Col.

Life OF a Locomotive.

The life Of a locomotive is from
twenty 30 thirty years. Some have
lasted much longer, the Baltimore
and Ohio's old grass hoppers" for
instance, which were shown at the
Worlds Fair. They were built in
1885 and were used a. switchers at
Mount Claire as late a. last spring.

FRUIT GROWING FOR PROFIT.

The best land for fruit growing is .
loan with some gravel in it, but good
drainage is indispensable for success
P1ums and pears will do better or
heavier soils than other fruits. There
is no doubt of the profit of either OF
these two fruits, but both are difficult
of culture, and skill and extreme car,
are necessary to succeed. Both arc
liable to diseases and attacks of injuri
ors enemies that must be most care,
fully guarded against. Then either
fruit may pay several times as much
profit as any other common kinds. The
spring Is the best time to plant these
fruits, but apples may be planted in
the fall quite as we'll as in the spring.
In choosing varieties it is we'll to con
suit the nurserymen from whom the
trees are purchased, as they will know
the best kinds for the locality and
soil. Otherwise any experienced fruit
grower of the neighborhood may ba
consulted. AS a rule, il is best tc
procure the trees from the nearest
nursery, and thus avoid the risks OF
delay in transportation. Pears are
set twenty feet apart, and plums need
about the same space. II has been
found profitable to set out dwarf pears
between the rows of the standard trees.
Is they will begin to bear the third
year, and by the time the others be-
gin to bear they will have repaid ell
the cost of planting, and, under
favorable circumstances, a respecta.
BILE profit. When the planter has tbs
experience and skill needed, there id
no more profitable agricultural enter
prise than fruit growing. New York

Oddities in House Coverings.

mems three centuries old are now

This is a poor conductor Of heat, and
not only withstands the heavy rains

huts cool i'm hot weather. In summer
the native women braid a coarsc
