THE VICTORIA CROSS.
A Badge of Honor that Every Britt


A Badge of Honor that Every British
Soldier Seeks to Win.
1t is probable that of the 10000 men
who have sailed from England for
South Africa there Is hardly a single
officer or soldier who does not look for
ward to returning home with that little
bronze badge known as the Victoria
cross pinned upon his breast. 1t is a
distinction that is within the reach OF
every member of the entire force, from
the divisional generals down to the
smallest bugler or drummer boy, and
there is not one of them who would not
infinitely prefer it to any form Of pro-
motion. For its possession indicates
that its owner is in every sense of the
word a hero, the cross being conferred
only for some signal act of exceptional
bravery, partaking of the character Of
heroism. 1t was founded at the time Of
the Crimean war. and among those
whose breasts it ado. MS ale generals
such as Sir Redvers Butler, now in
South Africa; Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and plain, ordinary privates
in the army. In fact, at least 90 per
cent. of the 20 Victoria cross men won
the distinction as privates or non-com-
missioned officers of the army and as
common sailors in the navy.
Sir Redvers Butler, for Instance, re-
ceived his Victoria cross for riding
back three times in one day in the face
of hotly pursuing foetO rescue wound
ed comrades and soldiers. Lord VIII
liam Beresford, who is married to an
American woman. received 1t for feats
of a similar character. Gen. Sir Evelyn
Wood got it in India for advancing IN
der a heavy fire along a narrow cause
way oplace bag of gunpOwderagainst
the gate of city which the English
were to storm during the mutiny, while
at least two midshipmen received the
cross for picking up bombs from the
decks of their vessels during the Crl-
mean war and throwing them over
board before the sizzling fuse had time
TO explode the shell and carry death
and destruction TO all around it.
In the case of military men the rib
bon is of red. while In the navy the rib
bon is blue. The metal of which the
cross is made is of that same kind oil
bronze that 30 years ago was used fol
field guns. The cross Is Of the style
| known as Maltese; has the royal crown
surmounted by the lion, in the center
and underneath scroll bearing the
Inscription, For valor." 1t is hung sus
pended by ~" ring to bar, on the
reverse side of which the rank an(
name of the recipient is engraved while
on the cross itself are inscribed thu
name and date of the action in which
the honor was won.
Any additional act of bravery whicl
would have won the cross for its hold
or had he not already possessed It

A Scotch farmer. celebrated in his
neighborhood for his immense strength
and skill in athletic exercises, very fire.
ouently had the pleasure of contendins
with people who came to try their
strength against him. The following
amusing encounter we copy from
Short Stories:
Lord d., a great pugilistic amateur
went from London on purpose TO fight
the athletic Scot. The latter was work
ing in an enclosure, at little distance
from the house. when the noble lord
arrived. His lordship tied his horse to
tree. and addressed the farmer.
Friend, / have heard marvellous re-
ports OF your skill, and have come a
long way to see which of US two is the
better wrestler"
The ScOtchman. without answering
seized the nobleman, pitched him over
the hedge. and then set about working
again. When Lord d. got up: We'll,
said the farmer. have you anything &c
say TO me?" NO" replied his lord

enough to throw me my horse"

third method was employed for the

the eyes were sometimes removed and
their places supplied by others of ivory

HOW MuMMIEs WE'RE MADE.
Three Different Methods Practiced h
the Egyptians.

Three Different Methods Practiced by
the Egyptians.
There were three different ways Of
mummifying the body practieed 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 ex-
tracted through the nose by means of
an iron probe and the intestnes were
removed entirely from the body through
an incision made in the side with a
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
hiled up with myrrh and cassia. and
other fragrant and astringent substan-
ces' and was laid in natron for seventy
days. 1t was then carefully washed
and wrapped up in strips Of fine linen
smeared with gum. The cost Of num-
mifying n body in this fashion was a
talent OF silver, about 81, 200.
In the second method the bran was
not removed at all and the lntesiiue-
were simply dissolved and removed IN
n huid state. The body was also lad
IN salt and natron. which. II is said. dis
solved everything except the skin AID

NEARLY BURIED ALIVE.

Indian WOman's Narrow Escape Prom
Terrible Death.
Mrs. Ellen Crosby had a narrow es-
cape from being buried alive in Craw-
ford county, Indiana. She was pro-
nounced dead. and preparations for the
burial were being made. While this
was in progress hel daughter, 10 years
bid, worn out by exhaustion, lay down
10 rest, but her eyes had scarcely
closed before she sprang up and per-
emptorily insisted that her mothers
body be returned to the bed. She re-
marked that her mother had called TO
her in her sleep, saying: MARY, don't
let them bury me alive" The under
taker complied with the daughters re-
quest, saying it was but a dream, but
the daughter stoutly claimed the con-
trary and would not be denied. Nearly
eight hours passed when Mrs. Crosby
slowly opened her eyes and looked at
her daughter, who had remained by
her bedside, constantly watching for a
return to life. Mrs. Crosby is now
considered in a fair way to recovery.
