HOW MUMMIES WERE MADE
The Three Methods of Preserving
Human Bodies Practiced by
the Egyptians.

There were three different ways of
mummifying the body, practiced by the
ancient Egyptians, the price being the
chief mark Of distinction, and cause
for the differences. In the first and
most expensive method the brain was
extracted through the nose by means
OF an iron probe, and the intestines
were removed entirely from the body
through an incision made in the Side
with sharp Ethiopian stone. The
intestines were cleansed and washed
in palm wine, and, after being covered
with powdered aromatic gums, were
placed in Canopic jars. The body was
then filed up with myrrh and cassia
and other fragrant and astringent sub
stances, and was laid in natron for 10
days. 1t was then carefully washed
and wrapped up in strips Of full linen
smeared with gum. The cost Of num-
mifying a body in this fashion was
talent of silver, about 81 200.
In the second method the brain was
not removed at all, and the intestines
were simply dissolved and removed in
fluid state. The body was also laid
in salt or natron, which, 1t is said, dis
solved everything except the skin and
bones. The cost of mummifying In
this manner was 20 minae, or $3.50. The
third method was employed for the
poor only. 1t consisted simply of
cleansing the body by injecting some
strong astringent, and then sailing 1t
for 20 days. The cost was very small.
If the friends of the dead were too
poor to go to the expense of even the
cheapest Of these methods, the body
was soaked In salt and hot bitumen, or
in salt only. In the salt and bitumen
process every cavity of the body was
filled with bitumen, and the hair disap-
peared. Clearly It's to the bodies which
were preserved in this way that the
name mummy" derived from the
Arabic mumia, or bitumen) was first
applied. The sailed and dried body Is
easily distinguishable. The skin Is like
paper the features and hair have disap-
peared and the bones are very brittle
and white. 1t may be noted that the
eyes were sometimes removed and their
places supplied by others of ivory or
ohsidian. The hair was also removed
and made into packet covered with
linen and bitumen. At a late period the
flank incision was covered with metal
plate, on which symbolic eye was en-
graved. The linen bandages employed
to swathe the body were three or four
inches wide; the length was sometimes
as great as 400 yards.-St Louis Globe

INGS.
BY Emma G. jefferson.

iSy bllluu u JeleISoH.
Bread for sandwiches should be at
least a day old. Cut about quarter
of an inch thick and remove the crusts.
Fancy shapes can be made by cutting
rounds or hearts from the bread with
cookie cutters. The butter should be
warm enough to spread smoothly. The
crusts and cutting should be utilized for
crumbs" for croquettes, ETC., by plac-
ing them in a large dripping pan in the
oven and slowly bringing to a golden
brown, when they may be rolled fine and
put into a closed fruit jar ready for use
when needed.
EGG SANDWICHES.
Boil fresh laid eggs five n..nutes. Shell
them while warm and place them in a
bowl with "a good-sized piece of butter,
some salt and pepper. Mash them as
fine as possible with a silver fork When
a well-seasoned paste has been formed
in this way spread on bread buttered or
not as preferred.
ENGLISH WALNUT FILLING.
Use graham or whole wheat bread for
this filling. Chop English walnuts very
fine and mix them into a paste with
good boiled salad dressing made as fol-
lows:
Beat two eggs well, add one-fourth
of teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoon of
sugar, one-fourth of a teaspoon Of must
ard, and beat WELL When beaten add
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and
beat again, and lastly one tablespoonful
of cream, beating all together thorough
ly. Place in a dish of hot water and
cook until about the thickness of cream,
stirring all the time.
PEANUT FILLING.
Shell the peanuts, removing the loose
brown skin. Then crush the peanuts to
fine powder by rolling them on the
bread Noasl, or they can be chopped
very ;; salt slightly and mix them
into paste with melted butter Spread
either white or graham bread with the
! filing,
| CHICKEN PASTE FOR SAND
WICHES.
Chop very fine any parts of a cold
boiled chicken and mix with some of the
cold gravy; season With salt and pep
| per; celery chopped with the chicken is
a very appetizing addition.
HAM PASTE FOR SANDWICHES.
Chop very fine any cold boiled or fried
ham and mix into paste by using a
very little cold cream sauce made by
heating one cup of milk and thickening
with one tablespoonful flour and adding
seasoning of butter and salt. Spread on
| white or brown bread.
EEEFSTEAK SANDWICHES.
Chop very fine any cold cooked beef
steak, season with salt and pepper and
make into a paste for spreading with
melted butter.
To have any variety of sandwich the
most satisfactory. the meat or nuts for
filling should be made very fine. In
serving they may be made attractive cut
in fancy shapes from both white and
graham bread, and the two varieties in
color piled neatly on the same fancy
plate. Olives or small cucumber pickles

The Sex of ships.

The word ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese, and possesses no sex in leu
tonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps it
would not be an error to trace the
custom of terminating ships back to
the Greeks, who called them by fem
mime names, probably out of defer
ence to Athene, goddess of the sea-.
But the Englsh-spealling sailor as
signs no such reasons. The ship to
him Is always a lady, even though she
be a man-o-war. She possesses a
waist, collars, stays, laces, bonnets,
ties, ribbons, chains, watches and doz-
ems of other distinctly feminine arti-
cles.--Collier's Weekly.
