When a member of an Egyptian fam ily died, all the relatives put on mourn ing and abstained from baths, wine and delicacies ol all kinds from 40 to 00 days, according to the rank of the per son deceased. Heath in one respect put an end to all distinctions that had pre vailed in life, and king aud slave were subject to the same law. Tbo record of the life of the deceased bad tube examined by a tribunal of M judges before he could be given burial with his ancestors. If the deeds of bis lifo proved that he was worthy of burial, his body was carried across the saercd lake, of which each province had one. and was there permitted to rest.' If the judges found l.iui unworthv, ,,. ,vau. he beloiigid to the highest rank, j,e. could not be buried with lii ancestors The body was rittirned in l,i.- relatives and was buried on th- . I. i,l' ii, lAc opposite to the buiial place ef the jiist. 1 he belicl of the Egyptians in a future state of existence gave rise to the prac tice of embalming the dead. They wish f d to carefully preserve the body, so that the soul upon its return to its former abode at the end of things might find it ready for its reception, liodies were em balmed iu three different ways. The most expensive and maguificent method was used upon the bodies of kings and other pdrsons of distinguished rank, the cost amounting to a talent of bilver, or SO 10. A number of persons were employed in the process of embalming, and they were treated with great respect. They filled the cavities of the body with myrrh, cinnamon, spices and many kinds of sweet smelling drugs. After a certain time had elapsed the body was swathed in lawn fillets, which were glued together with a kind of thin gum, and then crusted over with costly perfumes. By this mode of embalming (be shape of the body, the lineaments of the face, (he eyebrows and eyelashes were preserved iu their natural perfection, liodies thus embalmed are what we now call Egyptian mummies.

I want to ask " "But," interrupted Miss McGallon, "if it is so important as that, wauld it not I be better if we were alone?" "Yes, but I beg of you not to turn a deaf ear to me because these children are here." Miss McGallon smiled again. Then she walked to the desk and rang a big gong three limes.
