The Egyptian Mummy.

Psychologists have discovered that
among the ancient Egyptians the inyi-
olate preservation of the body was
deemed absolutely essential to the cor
poreal resurrection Of the dead. Ac-
cording to the teaching of the Egyptian
priests, the living man consisted of
body, a soul. an intelligence and an ap-
pearance called "ka." Death separat
ed these four parts. which must ulti-
mately lie reunited for all eternity.
Between death on earth and life ever
lasting there interviewed period of
several thousand years, during which
season the soul performed a painful
probationary pilgrimage through the
underworld. The body in order that 1t
should await intact the return of the
soul must meanwhile be guarded from
all corruption; hence the custom Of
embalming.

MAYEL OVER TEAPOTs.
4 Warning That Nay Prove of Value
to Relic Hunters.

= Warning That Nay Prove of Value
to Relic Hunters.
1t may be trusted that no lineal de-
sccndent of the pilgrims would and
no other person fooIishly should ever
claim to have or to have seen a teapot
that had come over on the Mayflower.
Whatever other articles in whatever
number may be treasured as parts Of
the sacred cargo that was landed at
Plymouth rock in 1920. relic hunters
may rest in the assurance that no rival
owns teapot of Mayfower descent.
The explanation is simple. When the
Mayflower sailed for America an ounce
of tea was rare enough to have made
up fitting gift for royalty. Yet forty
years later the wealthy and fashion
rble people of England we're fairly ia
miliar with tea which the Fest India
company had first brought into the
country. and four years later it was
ON sale in the coffee houses, at which
time a pound might be purchased for
the moderate sum of 60 shillings.
Only twenty-five years later tea was
on sale in Boston, and soon after there
were two tea houses besides those kept
by Daniel Vernon and Benjamin Har-
ris. In the first decade of the eight
eenth century it could be bought from
Zabdill Bolton at his apothecary shop.
Today the coffee houses of hundred
years ago in London are in reality tea
houses. In England were made the
first teapots Of pottery. Later the
most delicate creations in porcelain ap-
peared, but as tea became popular the
art of the teapot maker was less ex-
clusively refineI.-Boston Globe.

DARING BELL RINGERS.
Franks Of the Athletic Young Span
iards Of Seville.

'df 10 VI SSSH'C'
There is a curious custom among the
young Spaniards of the city of Seville.
On certain fete days, related tourist,
the young men of the place have per-
mission to ring the bells in the clock
towers of the cathedral. They have an
ingenious and original way of ringing
them. While the regular bell ringers
repose these amateurs climb up on to
the bells, throw them forward with all
their force and ride upon the bells in
their furious swinging to and fro. We
nay ira CINE what an uproar is pro-
are being treated in this Mariner. Any
man who is able may exercise his skill,
and the duration of the ringing de-
ponds upon the caprice or the strength
and patience of the ringers.
The spectacle IS very strange of the
great bells swinging. with one. two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
in any attitude which seems to them
best adapted to pushing out the most
noise. In the Giralda, at Seville, the
first time | witnessed this. the clamor
was frightful. When l looked up
thought at first some unfortunate was
entangled in the bell rope. but l soon
found it was a matter of sport. An
other ringer appeared suspended in the
air, holding the bell by the ears or the
rim or the wooden framework and fol-
lowing it in all it's movements. some
times feet, Sometimes head. downward.
Such are the daring bell ringers of Sc
