HOLDS BODY NINE YEARS.
Undertaker I* Still Waiting for Em
balmed Mummy to Be Idtntlfled.
A man who 1m believed to have be
longed to a noble English family died
from exposure Iji Wayne nine years
ago and bit* body Ht tit Hob unclaimed
In the morgue of fl. P. Frsnkenfleld's
Bonn, nay it a dispatch from Ardrnore,
fa.
Mack was employed for ueveral
years by It. II.' Johnson, a contractor
of Wayne. He was a man of educa
tion and culture, and, according to
rumor, was the heir to a British tills
which, for some mysterious reason, b?
would not or could not claim.
When tho man died J. B. Pearce, at
Ibat time an undertaker, but who has
ulu< o retlrod, embalmed the body and
decided to hold it until It should bt
claimed. No one ever claimed it, and,?i
as the embalming was unusually su^>
cossful, a number of efforts have boon
made by musoums to purchase t h?j
body, but Mr. Pearce says ho will not
surrender it except to some member
of Mack's family.
The body has been viewed by thou
sands of people, i)\any of them En
glishmen, who hoped to identify it
The skin retains its natural color; and
tho sandy mustache and hair remain
aa in life. The nose has become un
naturally sharp from having been
pinched by people who doubled if tho
man was really dead. Over the lt?ad
of tho mummy a cuckoo clock is kept
going to koep him from getting lone
some.
Twine from Wisconsin Wire Grass
Wire g^aBS twine Is a now product
of the Northwest, which promises to
relieve tho stringency of the supply
of Manila twine during the wheat har
vest season. The wire grass from
which tho twine is made is grown in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and other
products no well as twine, are made
from it. C. W. Crawford of Indianapo
lis, explained the nature of tho new
product:
"For tho last ten years or more,"
ho said, "tho wheat harvest season
has assumed the aspect of a bugbear
to farmers who did not have a large
supply of twine on hand. Without
twine binders cannot run, and without
binders It is Impossible to harvest
wheat.
"The only variety of twine that
could bo used in the past was tho
Manila variety, imported from tho
Philippine Islands. The supply of that
always gave out beforo the harvest
ended, and. tho lack of it often occa
sioned grdat loss. The new wire
grass has proved to be equal, if not
superior to Manila twine, and tho
farmers may rest easy now."
