Its value must have been greater when it formed a regular part of the materia medics. Until pretty late In the eighteenth century tauxmnles entered into a great variety af dram, balms and other medlca- meats. As the genuine mummy was then ex pensive, recipes were given by many ancient writers for converting human Cash Into mummy. Usually only cer tain portions of the body were used. and these were beaten, dried, macerat ed and sniced out of all likeness to their natural condition; hence "beaten to a mummy.", , Numerous allusions are made to the practice in ancient literature; and in an old play, "Bird In a Cage," are tne at ructions.

It Is now only 153 feet high, the width ef one side Is 23 feet, the walls at the base are 6 feet 0 Inches thick, while higher up they are 4 feet 9 Inches. Its origin is somewhat obscure, but it was certainly intended to outdtrthe Asi nelll. and both were for retreat in trou blous times.

BRINGS BAND TO PLAY HERE Prlne B4arr Telle Its Master im ' PraetUw inrioti Airs Dallr Count von Seckendorf, marshal or the court, who will accompany Prince Henry of Prussia to America, writes to an American friend here that the' prince and the members of bis suit are delighted at the idea of their trip to America and talk of nothing else, says a Berlin dispatch to the New York Journal. Seckendorf says he will be delighted to renew the acquaint ances he made on bis visits to San Francisco and other cities in 1809 and 1872, of which he has the pleasantest recollections. The kaiser is taking the greatest pains in perfecting the details of the trip and interesting himself personal ly In everything. He selected himself the silverware to be used on the Ho henzollern in New York, and the val ue of the plate selected is reputed to be half a million dollars. The most valuable piece lent by the kaiser is the silver table service of fifty pieces pre sented to him by ninety-six German cities when, as prince, he was married. This service is said to be worth $100. 000 and to be the most magnificent and valuable in the world. ', The foreign office declines to give the names of the prince's suit The Ger man press is deeply Interested in the trip, and the leading papers of Berlin and other big cities are sending spe cial correspondents- The bandmaster of the Second Naval Division Music corps has received spe cial Instruction from Prince Henry to practice daily during the voyage, play ing favorite American airs. The band consists of forty picked men from the eighty-four constituting the Second Di vision corps. The band has received permission to go ashore In the United States in parade uniform and give sev eral private concerts. RUSSIAN NOBLES HARD UP. fitaurtUair "Plaaaeial CoadtHom " ol , ... Landed Proprietors. Some official figures, Just published by the committee of the agrarian banks, throw a rather startling light upon the financial condition of Russian landed proprietors, says the New York Post. At the beginning of 1899 the advances, made by these banks on the estates of the nobility and other pro prietors amounted to 1.351.518,884 ru bles. In the fourteen agrarian banks. the chief of which Is the Banque de la Noblesse, the number of estates mort gaged was 89,084, covering a gross area of 43,507,745 dessiatlnes (a desslatlne equals 2.6997 acres). During the five years 1895-99 the indebtedness of the proprietors to the Banks increased by 807,000,000 rubles, and the number of mortgaged estates was augmented by 22,675. The private debts (second and third mortgages) on the whole of these Insolvent estates brines the total 11a blUttes up to about two and a half mil- Mania nf rnhloa : The report for the last two years, not yet published, will show an enormous Increase In the general Insolvency of the Russian proprietors. In the gov ernment of Kherson alone the Banque de la Noblesse holds mortgages over 34S030G dessiatlnes of land owned by the nobility to the amount of 153,798, 450 rubles.' Of 05,000,000 acres of land ed property held by the nobles In south Russia and the Baltic provinces three years ago 23,000,000 have since passed under the auctioneer's hammer. V The agrarian banks are In a dilem ma.:.-; Tbey cannot work the estates upon which tbey foreclose, and they can' only dispose of the majority of them at a loss. 4 Only a few weeks ago sixty-three estates owned by nobles were sold by auction at Kharkov, and In scarcely a single case, had the ex propriated proprietor any balance to receive.4 .k:'-" ; r;t wo.
