of the liody Into

Slow decay amid

tomli wan tho means adopted by our fort)
fathers, who found solemn consolation
In obituary vorseand statelyepitaphs. Tliu
modern trend has licon In favor of eremii
tlou and int'inorlal urns, which Ihii revival,
011 tin improved plan, of tho old cittern
system of burning tho dead. Still there,
nru many who find grim wiliicu In tliu old
graveyard, and with their hones to repose
under tho shade of weeping willows and
drooping yews, while tliu process of em
balming has numerous ndheteiits among
tho wealthy who want to insure their linea
ments against decay.
Tho art of preserving tho body after
death was brought to great perfection by
tho ancient Egyptians, Their methods
varied according to circumstauce.s and no
tloiis of tho operatoix. Some of the ghost
ly relics of tho ealneomlm give evidence of
having been dried hy vegetable anil bill
Hftinlc substances; other have dolled tliu
worm and natural corruption by the aid of
salt or natron. Aromiitlogunisornsphalt
urn wero used for tho first class of mum
mles, which havo been found in a wind
into of preservation. Those prepared with
nail nnd tint ran havo . hard, black and
smooth appearance; the attract moisture
on being exposed to the air and become
covered witii a xalluo substance. Tho
bodies wero rolled up In bandages of sill,
nnd linen, which were sometimes l,(KK)
yards in length. The colllns weru usually
of Hycamnre, cedar or pasteboard; tho caso
was covered wlthlu and without by paint
lugs of funeral scenes and other subjects,
the cover was ornamented in tho miiiih
manner, anil bore also tho painted and
often glided face of tho deceased in relief.
Not only wero human curp-.ei preserved in
this fashion, but all animals held sacred by
tho Egyptian religion wero muiumllled.
IJut Egypt was not tho only country In
which embalming was pra ticed success
fully It appears to havo been a dogma
uiiioiiK several other uncleut nations, In
culcated by their religion, that tliu soul
continued in the body after death. They
looked upon It as n dutj , therefore, to keep
the tabernacle of the oul intact and hold
sacred the resting plauo of tho dead. la
some countries corpses wore oxposed to the
ulr a certain pcrlo'il jinil becamo nuunmlcs
by tliu operation of natural causes. Pecul
iar conditions of tho soil and atmosphere
rapidly dried the unlmtU tissues and pre
vented putrefaction. A largo mnnlier of
mummies vtcro found in tho environs of
Diirango, Mexico. They wero in 11 sitting
posture, but hod the same kind of wrap
pings, bands mid ornnmeuts uu tho Egyp
tian. Tho modern Hysteiu of embalming
follows tho same general plan of that of
tho ancients, consisting of filling tho place
of tho intestines with odoriferous ami ties
Iccatlvo drugs and spices, but it Is not ex
pected that bodies treatod nowadays will
defy the ravages of time as long us tho
mummies of Egypt. Thoroughness was a
pronounced characteristic of tho Egyp
thins. They embalmed as they built for
all time. Tho thousands of small baud
ages which Inclosed tho body formed
part of their system, and tlui whole treat
ment must havo taken i great deal more
time than our undertakers are allowed to
prepare 11 corpse for burial.
Always foremost in grim und fantastic
notions, tho French nro engaged in discuss
ing 11 new method of preserving tho dead
which has many marked advantages over
that of tho Egyptians. Our museums havo
familiarized us with mummies. They nro
shriveled, unsightly cadavers, und emit n
sickly, misty odor. Tho American climate
seems to have n bad effect upon them, for
mummies that huvo braved tho worms of
Egypt for thousands of years have crum
bled into dust upon tho removal of their
wraps In tho United States. All the dis
agreeable features of the old time mummy
aro avoided by tho French plan. Xo wraps
or desiccating drugs aro needed; there Is
00 danger of tho preserved body dropping
to pieces in uny climate. On tho contrary,
tho French mummy may be made orna
mental, if not useful, and threatens to
cause a revolution In tho art of sculpture.
It will bo neither moro nor less than nu
electroplated corpse coated with gold, sil
ver, nickel or brass, according to the taste
nnd fortune of the bereaved.
Dr. Varlot, one of tho foremost practl
tloners in tho Paris hospitals, is thoauthoi
of tho system, whose result has beeu
lMlli:itSI()K IN T1IR ClAIA'AXIC IIATIL
termed "lAmtliropoplastlc galvauliiuo."
Ills mode of procedure is as follows: He
places tho body in a double frame, with
four uprights fastened together, with
square trays, and then covers tho frame
with a pneumatic. Itell. Tho body is per
forated by a metallic u Ire, one end going
through tho roof of tho skull, while the
1 other rests in tho tray at tho feet. This
wire not only acts as a suppoil to tho
I corpse but us a conductor of electricity.
J Tho uprights und other portions of tho
frame are nirolully insulated with India
I ritblHT, Kilt til perch, inr parulliuc. A small
1 thermoelectric battery furnlslu-s 1 lie cur
rent. A metallic ciiutact descends from l ho
upper tray and rests lightly upon the sur
face of the cadaver The surface of tho
feet und tho palms of the hands also rent
upon two contacts, and, In addition, con
tacts are echeloned on the uprights and
frame, und can bo applied ur disconnected
nt pleasure.
llefoto tho apparatus Is plunged lu 11 gal
vanic hath tho body has to bo rcnilcicd 11
liorfoel electric conductor. For this pur
jmsu tho operator either p.ilnts the corpse
with 11 solution of nitrate of silver or ho
puts 11 pondered preparation of tho samo
on the surface of tliu tklu. The caustic
penetrates tho surface, and tho skin turns
an opaiito color. Afterward tho nltrnlii of
silver has to Isi reduced or separated from
Its oxide, hut this presents no great diffi
culty. The double framework 'Is then
placed lu 11 reservoir, from which the air Is
exhausted by 11 pump, ami vapors of while
pho-piiortis dissolved In sulphur of car
bon are introduced. This Is a dangerous
operation, as are all operations lu which
dissolved phosphorus plus any part. After
tho phosphoric vapors liiivii reduced the
nitrate of silver the corpse becomes a gra)
Ish white, and Is 11 perfect fue simile of 11
plaster of Paris stajue. Tho metalll.atiiiu
Is then very simple, hi lug effect rd by 11 gal
vanic bath In tho usual way.
Tho French capital is greatly excited
over this method of making Indestructible
mummies. Should It como Into favor met
alli.cd bodies may siotl take the place of
wax figures and statuary In museums, gal
leries and oven private residences. Not
otilyeau tliu last expression of tliu deceased
w preserved, hut various poses produced,
and by deft manipulation tho countenance
of tho corpse changed to ex pi ess almost
any emotion. Tho body of tho warrior
ma) lie iniido to assume 11 martial attitude.
The dead preacher could ho electroplated
lu tliu net of exhortation. Statesmen and
heroes could bequeath their remains to a
son owing nation, and coated with gold,
silver or brass preside lu person over t holt
own miitiumeiitH. In fact there Is 110 cud
of practical or romantic purposes to which
our plated bodies might ho put, fiom the
pointing of annual to tho adornment of a
tale, and even to (he portrayal of some
striking episode in national life.
In one or two parts of England there are
wells whose waters petrify anything placed
thcicln Tho most remarkable of those
petrifying cisterns nro show places lu the
vales of Derbyshire. Water strotigl) Im

so great that they were driven in disgrace
from the neighborhood. Tho French peo
pie, however, aro different ti tho English.
Dr. Vnriot, tho introducer of this lost
method of perpetuating dead lmdlcs, Is
hailed hy many us a public lienefactor, and
the gilded cadavers of his unique under

Jutlgu V. A. Peffer.of Topeku, who was,
Is now Senator-elect Puffer, of Kansas, and
will soon In tho
colleague or Sena
tor Plumb In the
tiiugn I II cent fo
rum of solemn de
bate at Washing
ton. His case adds
11 11 other to tho
many remarkable
ro vol tit ions In
'? American politics.
Hut yesterday it
seemed that Kan
sas was almost sol
ill I y Itcpubllcan,
nnd that Senator
Ingiills was her
recognized leader:
JUDOK l'KKFEU. ,.nw JK.r eMa.
tnru is overwhelmingly aiitl-ltepubllcaii,
und Mr. Ingalls receives hut r8 votes for re
election to 101 for Judge Peffer.
Tho now senator was born In Pcunsyl
vanla fifty years ago, and has moved west
ward hy successive stages, having lived in
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, also a short
time lu Tennessee, beforo locating in Kan
tas. Ho has also been farmer, teacher,
soldier, lawyer and editor. In Tennessee
he was u conservative during reconstruc
tion times, opposing tho radicalism of (jov
crnor Hrowidow tiding thence to Wilson
county, Kan., he represented that county
in tho state senate in 1874. In 1880 ho was
uGurlleld elector In 1881 ho becamo editor
of The Kansas Farmer, a position he still
holds.
He made the mpor 11 very pn) Inj; proper
ty, and did more, perhaps, than any other
man to build up the Farmers' Alliance.
His article in Tho Forum for December,
188!), on tho movement attracted much at
teutiou. I.lko the other Alliance leaders
in Kansas ho is a picturesque character,
and has experienced many phases of hfu
lu this present world.
IloiiiiiiiuliMi Women lu Politics.
Tho women of Itoumanla are after their
rights, and aro getting them with coin
lueiidahlo rapidity. .Mrs, .loiiescu has been
elected to tho mayoralty of liraucsci, ami
others of tho sex havo achieved lesser po
litical distinction, A lamentable phase uf
the hit nut ion, however, is that tho may
oress elect of Hraiiesci is almost distracted
hy the ileinafids for olllces at her disposal
made h women. The minister of the in
terior declares that unless the row ceases
ho will refuse to confirm Mrs. Joucscu in
her losltiou.
I'mtu county, Wjo., Is bigger than any
0110 ol 'the follow lug states: Connecticut,
Delaware, Massachusetts, Xow lliimp
shiie, New .Icrscy, liliode Island and Ver

first mentioned. I'ilita county covers a
