have played nearly all of the leading
female roles as well as some OF the
masculine ones. l guess that / must
have played more than 400 or 500 roles,
all told, and they ran all the way from
Macbeth to the clown In pantomime.
My preference Is melodrama or pan
tomime. but l have played soubrettes,
juveniles OF both sexes, leading bust

Topsy and Othello, and, while | have
never played Uncle Tom, / have done
almost all of the female characters in

A Remarkable Mummy.

Two most extraordinary Egyptian
at the rooms OF the Marylebone An
tiquarlan society, In the Marylebone
road, says Public Opinion. One OF
them-they both having been discov-
cred I'm lower Egypt in the course OF
the recent carppatgn-was remarkable
for It's size and extraordinary weight.
On It's head was a crown composed OF
copper. with a gold covering shaped
In pieces resembling plates and but
tons. having decorations of leaves and
fruits. On the case containing the
body were painted figures resembling
those of the zodiac. A nearly unde-
cipherable Greek inscription was also
OF II. Between the folds OF the dress
was found a piece Of papyrus, with an
inscription which gave the name of
the dead monarch as Pcntemenon.
The mummy in It's wrappers weighed
160 pounds. It's length was six feet
n inch, the head was abnormally
large and the shoulders very broad.
Next the dress was found an outer
cloth covered with paintings and hier-
oglyphics. which denoted that the
original was one OF the royal house OF
Egypt some $500 years b. z. Next
came more wrappings and then a close
garment Of samite, fastened around the
neck by a sailors knot. Beneath this
again were some finer bandages like
napkins. Next came four Egyptian
tunics, of a kind OF linen, with sleeves,
and woven without any joints. These
were fixed to the body at the neck and
the ankles by some stuff of a blum
nous nature. Next came %bandages,
placed lengthways, from the head to
the feet, with ~crossbands; four large
pieces Of linen came next, rolled round
and round the body.
The sixth envelope was formed OF
~transversal bands OF a yellow color.
from the bitumen In which they had
been soaked. After this fifteen sim
liar wrappers. Next, an envelope sat
urated in black bitumen. and, finally,
next to the skin. a thin shirt Of the
finest linen. The toes were wrapped
up separately, the arms and hands
were laid straight down alongside the
body.
The mummy was a male, and looked
about 40 years old. The length was
five feet nine inches. The breast and
part OF the abdomen were gilded over.
The body vas filled with a black bal
sam. No manuscript was found. The
legs had been covered In black balsam.
The unrolling of the body took three
hours. and no less than $500 square
feet of linen were taken of It. The
hands were long and perfect; the fin
gers well made, with albert" nails;
the ears entire, and the nose, which
had been cut open when the body was
embalmed. In order to extract the
brain, a little deformed. The face
looked almost alive, and the hair was
perfectly preserved. very fine and
what Is unusual In Egyptians OF the
pure breed-a little curled. On the left
side. below the ribs, was an opening
by which the balsam had been intro
duced into the body. Under the cloth
which covered the face below each eye,
and on the ball OF the cheek, a gold
plate was found, with the representa-
ton of al eye and Its lids. Over the
mouth, and fastened by a gold wire
run through and behind the teeth, was
another plate, with a picture or repre-
sentation of a tongue placed perpei-
' dicularly to the closing Of the lips,
which were fast shut and secured by
the wires.
