M uKMIES IN ITALY.



Scientific American.
The vicissitudes of the dead would
furnish material for an interesting and
gruesome volume. We are, of course,
not surprised when we see an EgyptIan
mummy, but it is very extraordinary
that during the middle ages and the
renaissance species of mummification
was also adopted in Italy, and even
continues to this day. The two most
curious examples of this are the
cemetery of the Capuchins, in Rome,
and the catacombs of the Capuchins,
at Palermo. In the latter place, We
believe, bodies are still added: though
probably not in the Roman Capuchin
cemetery, as intramural interments are
forbidden in Rome even to popes. The
catacombs at Palermo consist of q
series of chambers which are we'll
lighted, adding to the ghastliness.
Here are to be seen the mummies of
the dead Of the better classes, in the
convent vaults. They are fully attired,
even down to the white kid gloves.
Some are erect against the wall, and
others again buried In chests, while
some sit in chairs, all ticseted with
their names and dates. Every year or
two the gloves, and less frequently the
clothes, are renewed by the affectionate
survivors, who go on great feast days
of the church to gladden. their eyes
with the family mummies. A visit on
the eve of All Souls day is thing
long to be remembered. Lights flare
dimly through lanterns of bone, re-
vealing the hideous forms of the dead.
The bodies against the walls appear
like malefactors who had been hung.
Many of the bodies appear shabby as
regards dress, as their friends do not
give them posthumous toilet from
time to time, which is so necessary to
keep them in good repair.
The cemetery of the Capuchins in
Rome is fully as interesting and

bers above the ground, SO that there is
no need of artificial daylight. Around
the walls skulls and other bones are
arranged in patterns. The ceilings
are covered by ornamental patterns
made of smaller bones, and lamps de-
pending from the ceiling are also made
from bones of the arm.
After "a monk dies he is buried for a
term of years in the ground in the
chapel, the earth being brought origi-
nally from Jerusalem. His bones are
then taken out and help to deck the
gruesome chambers. A few monks of
particular sanctity are not buried at
all, but placed against the wall and

coNCERSIAa HEADACHES.

To attempt to Danish all variations
of headache by a single ''cure" shows
a childlike faith in medicine, but very
little common sense. The first step
toward curing headache is to find out
which kind of a one it island to devote
ones energies to drive it away. The
headache which results from indiges-
tion is of frequent occurrence, and it i'm.
plies over eating or unwise eating, and
That when woman finds herself
afflicted with such headache she
should proceed to cure it by fasting
and mild cathartic, and sitting with
her feet in hot water before going to
bed. N
The nervous headache is the kind to
which women are the most subjected,
as it results from the effort to make the
nerves do more than they ought to do.
The first step in treating this headache
IS to drop work and worry, if possible,
and draw blood from the head by SOAK
ing the feet in hot water and putting
cold applications to the forehead and
the back of the neck.
A great many mysterious headaches
have their origin in oyerstrained eyes.
This kind is cured only by giving the
eyes a vacation or by an oculist. OF
course, care in the use Of the eyes, is
also help. Reading, writing or sewing
in dim or tiickering light must be
given up. The common practice of try
ing to read in jolting trains must also
be discarded. The eyes must never be
used too long at time, and when there
is much eye work to he done, brief
rests and bathings in hot water will
ward off the dreaded headache.
The headache which is the result Of
exposure to colds or draughts or sud
den changes is best treated by hot an.
plications, hot water bags and gentle
friction Of the place of pain. II this
does not Danish the headache in day,
then deeper illness is indicated.
The best way to treat headaches is
to avoid them refuse to overtax the
eyes, the nerves of the stomach, and to
give attention TO exercise and bathing.

How That Planet LOOKS When Thirty a
Million Miles Away.


All the monster glasses with which
the late rapid advance has been made
in knowledge of our celestial neighbor
have come into being since the Civil
War. Until then, in this country, the
Harvard telescope of 10 inches was the
largest. About 1860 one of 1879 inches
was ordered for the university, in
Evanston, III. 1t is only since 1870
that really huge instruments have null
tiplied and are nightly turned upon
the starry skies to ask questions which
seem to odr Impotence so slowly an
swered. But many answers have come,
after all, and some things are clear
which before could only be surmised.
For instance, we feel quite sure now
that Mars has an atmosphere, though
not more than half as dense as our
own; but far better than none, as we
can tell by looking at our bright
though dead and desoiated moon, from
which air and water have long since
disappeared. And if Mars has air, the
polar caps alone would seem to show
that he has also ice and snow; and
there appear to be, as we'll, areas of
water or marsh, though less in extent
than the land. The Northern Hemis-
phere looks brighter through the tele-
scope, even showing tints of red and
yellow, which astronomers are inclined
to think are chiefly dry land, probably
desert; while the southern is dark, the
seas" brown or dull gray, quite as
water might appear. These spots were
first called seas, like the smooth regions
of the moon, and the name continues
in both, whatever they may be.
In 1877 Mars was at his nearest to us !;
near that is, FROM an astronomers point
of view, though really at the enorm-
GUS distance of 30, 600, 900 miles. Yet a
great deal was learned about this neigh
Dor ia the sky--among other things
that he is attended by two tiny satel-
lites or moons never seen before. And
the same year an italian astronomer,
Mr.. Schiararelli pronounced skeenpa-
rel-iyJ, made careful studies and draw
ines of the strange markings on Mars,
completing with the fine telescope at
Milan a series of elaborate sketches
afterward combined into an accurate
detail map.
Again in 1892 and 1894 the earth and
Mars came near each other in their
flight through space, though somewhat
farther than during the year 1877.
And within the last few months we
have been once more in good position
to observe each other But we are
favorably placed because only under
these conditions can we. see the north
pole of Mars, and so much more is
known about his south pole that there
is of course, strong attraction in
the mysterious north regions. Only at
this great distance is the north polo
graciously tilted toward us, so he has
been constantly watched this spring,
and so he will be again in a little over
two years. Eight years, however, will
pass before the Marian south pole can
again be studied to good advantage;
IN September OF 1903, too, ali observa,
tories will be on the eager lookout for
news from this fascinating planet.

ORIGIN OF MINT JUEEps.
How They Were Made in New England Ovs
Two Centuries Ago.


Chicago Inter Ocean.
A number of newspapers throughout
the middle Western and upper South
ern States are at present discussing
with much cleverness and warmth the
genesis of the mint iulep, and the Bal
timore SUE, in particular, seems to Re
very much wrought up over an attempt
to ascribe the credit for the invention
of the national drink to j. o. S.
Blackburn, John G. Carlisle and other
moderns. OF course, il scouts the
idna that Kentucky is entitled to claim
an honor over which some of the most
eminent scholars and statesmen dis.
puted long before Daniel Boone pene-
trated into the interminahe forests Of
that State. Tho Sur invites attention
to the fact that McMaster, the his
torian, In one Of his books, quotes from
the diary of an Englishman who trav.
eled in Virginia early IN the eighteenth
century, and who makes mention of
drink favored by bruising mint. This
was long before j. G. s. Blackburn
or John @. Carlisle had attained
prominence. But those who arc inter
ested in the subject need not pause
here. for in the memoirs of Jeremy

to drink compounded of mint herb
and heating spirits, which is grateful

quency what the publikans and tavern
keepers call mint dewlip." "Julep"
is evidently corruption of the proper
name, and one which is due to the
heayiness Of the pronunciation of those
who formed the "hnbbit' of ordering
it. According to The Sun. the subject
is an engrossing one, and the contro-
versy should be settled without delay,
that Americans may know where to
erect a memorial to the monumental
genius who gave the country the en-
trancing and seductive beverage in
question:" not with the view of
encouraging its use, however, but in
order that question of great histori-
cal interest may be settled. The West
has already taken pains to fix RESPONSE
bility for the invention of the thigh
ball'' on the right lan and the right
locality, and the East, where the mint
julep had its origin, should spare no
pains to fix the credit where il belongs.
