these attacks upon the habits of the man

For some time the people at large have.

No person has ever accused NJ. Loubet

has not been blackened by a single UNI

he has no immoral past to stand in the

government at this crisis when the sew

the excitement caused by the Dreyfus

Il was for this reason that NJ. Louhet

Pen Picture Of L0ubet

NJ. Loubet as the new president Of
France has succeeded in establishing
himself firmly in the hearts of his people
in spite of the fact that the Due d'Orleans
has announced, after calmly sitting in
judgment upon him, that he does not APP
prove of him. This young man had hoped
that ir the excitement attending the sud-
den death of President Faure he might
slip ~unnoticed upon the throne that was
lost by his ancestors so many years ago
and now that he has found hat this was
but an idle dream he has comforted him.

ity of the ruler selected by the people. M.
Louhet.' he says lis a man who at sixty
has never succeeded in rising above his
mediocre. He has been elected for his
negative qualities only. He will be the
last president of the republic"

also been eXerting every effort to cast

PRESENTS FOR THE BRIDE.

The wedding present as an institution

Journal. ut should be, and almost al
ways is, a matter of pleasure to both
recipient and giver, and when properly
~given-that is. in cases where intimacy
and affection warrant it being Sent-it is
a most charming institution. Wedding
presents are sometimes objected to on
the ground that they compel young peo-
pie to start their married life handi-
capped with the ~overhanging shadow Of
gifts which must eventually be repaid in
kind. Where such a shadow is it de-
serves to be, for less kindly appreciation
of the interest and affection of ones
friends can scarcely be imagined than
this. The wedding present in almost all
cases represents a token of good will
and affectionate interest, and should be
so received.
Let no one be deferred from send

little money, and many dainty articles

This opinion was shared by so many
that the workme in charge of the new
sa rcophagus became interested; and one
of them afterward told the writer that
, when lifting the coffin something In
| side was distinctly heard to shake, max
ing a hard sound not unlike the rafting
of stone within a wooden box.
1t took A%lphonso XII exactly 10 years
to become a mummy. He is now complete
and the little boy king can look upon the
face of his father whom he never saw
! He can gaze into those eyes of stone
and into that non-committal mouth OF
hardest rock and wonder what those lips
| would have said and what those eyes
would have admonished. Upon a great
pedestal he will lie, stretched out
through all ages, a mummy of the nine
! teenth century. Beside his is a vacant
| space, waiting for the next Alphonse to
join him in the silence of mummy land.
! Back of him, as far as your eye can pene-
trate the dim Escurial, stand the pedes-
tails, high, sinister and interesting. the
mummies of past and gon Alphonses of
Spain.
The sentiment against mummies is go
ing out. When you reflect that vol pay
great sums to get the beloved features
of the dead carved in marble for the
tomb and that you employ the best
sculptors to chisel and mould the life
like image of the living. then you get
more used to the idet of the mummy OF
the dead. Ten years ago it was only
the very advanced who embalmed; and
there are those that remember the sem
timent against the old process of icing
the bdoy so as to preserve it for burial.
Now even the poor embalm and the
wealthy preserve their friends for months
to await the Homecoming of distant
ones.
So much for progress. VIII we our
selves embalm? Who knows? A prom
inent citizen of Philadelphia, a man of
great wealth, recently applied to a New
York undertaken for a perfect preserva-
tive.
For how long?" asked the under
taker.

London a few weeks ago, was perfectly

MunniS Coming h Fashion AGAIN

Mummies are coming in style again.

years ago the process of mummiflcation
was in general use in SPAN, Italy ana
Turkey.
With the later discoveries in embalm-
ing. mummifying has fallen out of fash
ion and now a mummy is a curiosity.
The only examples of mummies of to-
day are furnished by a very few OF the
countries of Europe, who treat the bodies
of their dead rulers so that they will last

properties. 1t is hard, brittle, grey and
fine grained. 1t quite loses all human
resemblance Only it is light; and that
is almost the only way in which it can
be distinguished from the carved images
of stone.
The process of mummifying was at its
best at the time of Christ and before.
The ancients possessed secrets of drugs
and temperature which We of today, with
all our boosted science and discovery,
lack. They knew how to prepare a dead
body quickly, and so we'll that, in nine
months. it had become q stone image,
as like a piece of rock as one yea is like
unto another. Their treatment was with
the use of chemicals in which they wrap
ped the body, and by the temperature
which was, it is thought, very hot, 50 as
to dry the flesh upon the bones, as we
dry certain fishes in the sun. Old Sol,
too, must have assisted them, for they
had none of the artificial devices of steam
which we have today.
But mummifying in a way is known to-
day. Indeed 1T is thought to be prac-
ticed more than we would suppose. 1t is
claimed by many scientists that the reg
ular embalming is practically a mummi-
flying process, and that the dead of today,
If they We're to be unearthed ten years
hence, would be found splendidly made
into stone.
This theory is borne out by recent dis
e~ntombment. When General Grant was
placed in his tomb with much pomp tive
years ago, and laid on the heights with
his head pointing toward the splendid
bay of New York, many of his friends
urged that the sepulchre be opened tina
they might get one last look at his vel
remembered face. At this a wall OF
horror arose. and the project was aban-
dOned. But the more scientific OF his
friends afterwards explained that no sac
lilege was intended The coffin Of meta

In doing this, however, NJ. Loubet Will
not resort to the artificial c~eremonials that
NJ. Faure believed added so much to the
dignity of his position. To begin "lth
such ceremonies and the hidebound OBJ
servance Of a court etiquette cost money;
and NJ. Loubet has no fortune to throw
away in this tanner. 1t Is more than
probable. therefore, that he will revert to

was Il greater degree Of ceremoniousness,
formality and etiquette at the Elysee Pal
ace than at many of the foreign mon
archical courts.
NJ. Loubet has already shown that he
does not propose to be bound by the rules
laid down by his predecessor. On the
evening of the election, M. Crozier, the
chief of the protocol, insisted hat the
new president should stop at the foreign
office, the family Of the late president not
having left the Elysee. To his despair M.
L.ouhet refused to be guided by the sug-
gestions of the etiquette maker to the late
president and positively announced that
he was going home to his wife and child

Again on the day when the new presl-
dent moved into the Elysee he took a de-
cidedly roundabout way in order to avoid
the pomp and ceremony that NJ. Crozler
had planned as a welcome for him. AS
the result the chief Of the protocol is
at a loss what to do in order to earn his
money. Under the late president his Of
fee was a busy one but from present APP
peaIance NJ. Loubet will manage things
to suit himself which will give the COM
missioner of state etiquette many idle
hours for contemplation u pom his lost
grandeur.

Chicago, April "A special to the

construed as a mark of dissatisfaction

been conveyed to him, quite unofIically,
of course, that the work of the navy in
the Philippines is over so far as fleet
movements are concerned and the minute
he asks for shore duty, the request will
