JOHN HAl1RICK'S MUMMIEs.
lie Says he HAS the Secret of Egyp.
tian EmbaIming.

People around Morgantown, w. Va.
are claiming that John Hamrick. a
mountaineer farmer OF Barbour Conn
~ has discovered the lost art of Egyp-
tian embalming, for which savants
have so long sought in vain.
Hamrick carefully guards the names
OF the ingredients which compose bis
wonderful fluid, but he is not averse tn
showing visitors a big two-g gallon lar
which he keeps constantly on hand
filled with a liquid so transparent that
the jar at casual glance appears to
be empty. He says that all the inere-
dlents used in manufacturing the en-
balming fluid are found on or near his
farm.
The results obtained by the use of
this marvellous fluid are to be seen
scattered everywhere around Ham,
ricks home. The first thing to greet
the eye on entering is a magnificent
peacock with spreading tail and trail
ING wings. The bird has all the an
pearance or life. but II is perfect spe-
cimen OF embalming. the strange f,,,id
having been poured down its throat i'm
mediately after II died
Many other birds and fowls adorn his
nome, all well preserved. He has "a
large collection of snakes and other
reptiles, which have been on hand for
years. HIS geological collection would
make valuable addition TO any mu-
scum. A little negro boy baby orna-
ments the parlor mantelpiece. Mr.
fiamrick says the baby has been en-
balmed for more than three years The
body looks plump and the features
quite natural. The corpse was OH
tained at the county almshouse. There
are two more bodies OF infants on ex-
also two white men and a
white boy. Some Of these corpses Mr..

TOUGH SORT OF SUCCESS.
Artist Discovered That II Lay In Fill.
ing Other Peoples Stomachs.

| The sad news from Rye. England. of
| the death of Dewey Bates, the artist
| brings to mind the story of the career
OF Philadelphia high school boy.
| Even when in the high school Bates dis
played a remarkable facility with his
pencil and brush and when he was on
~ IA years of age he acquitted himself
OF work which in later years rivaled
the effors of his matured experience.
About two years after he left school
he went abroad for study. He had lit
tie money! He asked for but little as
sistance, however, and for the next four
or five years he visited, as a student.
Antwerp, Paris, London and other art
centers of Europe. He studied hard
and worked diligently. But the sales
OF his pictures were few and far be-
tween, and his purse finally became al
most depleted. In this emergency he
determined upon sacrificing the treas
ures of his heart; the efforts of his boy
hood days.
What money he had in his purse he
expended I'm advertising announce
ments In the London newspapers that
there would be sale of his works i'm

TWO O'Clock was the hour fixed for Che

Bates would only provide some crack

might gain crowd of spectators and
possible purchasers. Despairingly. the
last penny he had i'm the world was en-
pended I'm the suggested purchase.
And the man added to the Invitation |

We believe 1t is well grounded
opinion that mothers hang on to their
sons with rather more of affectionate
pertinacity than they do to their daugh-
ters. We occasionally hear Of a man
who refrains from marrying until after
his mothers demise I'm accordance with
a more or less definite understanding be-
tween the two. and as in such cases the
man Is usually quite prompt to marry
upon his release from the obligation, the
evidence is that the mothers hold on a
son under the circumstances is pretty
strong, and the loyalty OF the son is
not at all expiainable by disposition
to bachelorhood. which would, of
course, rob the companionshlp main
tanned of all credit. We take il that
mothers are rather more difficult TO
console upon the unexpected marriage
OF the pet boy than they are upon the
similar taking away of the girl, and to
what tragic steps this idea OF keeping
mothers boy intact may lead is in
dicated by the act OF Patrick McKavit's
mother in New York the other day. 1t
seems that young Patrick was the
widows joy, and she had developed the |
conviction in her fond heart that she
would never have rival in the lads |
affection. But young Pat fell in love |
after the manner of men, and, what is
worse, he married secretly. thus plain
ly demonstrating his knowledge of how
his mother would regard such step
and probably desiring to avoid an argu-
nnent until ii was too late for argument
TO count. Then he came home and
broke the news, asking permission TO
present his bride. Whereupon Mrs. Nc
kavit declared that. while she hadn't
the heart to rebuke him, life for her
would have no further interest. And
she retired TO her room where she swal-

neither Italian nor Spanish but were

how the III came TO be added. He

Persons who have formed impress
sions OF what our big battleships look
like from the numerous pictorial rep
resentations that have become familiar
the past summer. are usually disap-
pointed on seeing one OF them. They
do not begin to look the monsters we
have built in Imagination. and are far
from Impressive unless one walks their
decks and stands In the shadow OF their
mighty guns. Some OF the larger
cruisers with their high sides seem more
Impressive to the layman at a first
glance than do the battleships. and the
huge transatlantic liners look far big
ger. as they are In point OF size above
water. The bsttleship has been de-
scribed as the bull dog OF the navy
and that Is what she Is. A ship like the
Oregon. for instance. looks disappoint-
ingly short and chunky. but she is all
bun dog. and that characterization
helps us to understand why she doesn't
look bigger. Beside some Of the long
high-walled liners she is as bull dog
