DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root corrects ina
blity to hold water and promptly overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day and to get up
many times during the night.
This prompt, mild and wonderful remedy
is easy to get at the drug stores, in fifty-cent
or one-dollar bottles. Make note of the
name, SWAMP-ROOT, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, and remember that it is prepared only
by Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Swamp-RoOt has been tested in SO many
ways, in hospital work, in private practice,
among the helpless too poor to purchase
relief, and has proved SO successful that
special arrangement has been made
by which all readers Of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, who have not already tried
it, may have a sample bottle sent abso-
lutely free by mail. Also book telling
more about Swamp-Root, and containing
some of the thousands upon thousands Of

j. NJ. W.-Service in the Confederate
army or navy is generally 4 bart to PEN
sion under the act of June 81, 1890, as
now construed. The widows title is no
better than that of the soldier. 1t would
have TO be shown very clearly that the
apparently -disloyal service was purely in
voluntary.
j. Z. H., Long Glade, Va.-lf an inva-
lid pensioner becomes mentally incapa-
BILE of transacting business, a guardian
should be appointed for him by the
County Court. On receiving the evidence
of such appointment, the Commissioner
of Pensions will pay the pension to the
guardian. If the old soldier is not pen
sioner, his claim can be prosecuted by
some friend or member of his family as
next friend" Probably a pension under
the act of June 81, 1890, could be OBJ
tanned in the case of a Union man con
scripted into the Confederate service, from
which he soon deserted and enlisted into
the u. S. service, if he can furnish salts
factory evidence of the facts. Probably
there would be no trouble if existing Con-
federate records show his cOnscription
and early deSertiOn as alleged. His Con
federate service would be no bar to his
obtaining pension under the general law

The practice of embalming was very gen.
eral among the Egyptians. Their belief in
the resurrection OF the body induced them
to employ all means CT preserving it from
decay. 1t is only i'll connection with the
Egyptians that instances of embalming are
met with in the Bible, those OF Jacob and
Joseph, who died in Egypt. In the National
Museum are number OF mummie5. Among
the most perfect is the one illustrated above
In this particular case there are no hieroglyphs
or inscriptions Oh the mummy or outer case.
The face and head are covered with mask
of green cement.
On the chest are four small tablets, each
one having painted on it a mummied figure
of Osiris in standing position. Two
shield-sfaped ornaments lie across the
breast and stomach, respectively. The upper
one bears the representation Of the sacred
beetle with spread wings beneath which is a
nilometer standing between two figures,
which support each a globe upon head
The faces of these figures are covered with a
square piece of gold-leaf. At the end of
each wing is represented the hawk-head of
the Egyptian god Ra, also supporting a
globe. Over the surface of the shield are
painted representations Of jewelry. On the
lower shield appears kneeling figure OF
Nutpe, with extended arms and wings.
Upon her head she wears head d-band sup
porting globe. On either side of the head
are two groups, each containing three figures
Ostrich plumes appear in the corner OF the
shield
Along the legs is sheet of cemented linen,
on the top of which is the representation Of a
mummy on dog-shaped bier At the head
of the bier is figure kneeling. holding an

kneeling figures holding plumes. Further
down is second nilometer, on either side
Of which figure with an implement in each
hand faces two mummied figures, both of
which have faces concealed with square of
gold leaf The feet are incased in cement.

case.
