THE SKELETON INDUSTRY IN FRANCE. A correspondent of the Medical Press of London, communicates to that journal the following account of a skeleton manufactory which he recently had an opportunity of visiting. The establishment is located in the plain of St. Denis, France, and consists of large wooden buildings, comprising one main structure and several annexes. The large hall contains two rows of immense kettles, the dimensions from which are, as might be supposed, far from agreeable, even to an infantry apparatus used to the atmosphere of a deserted room. These kettles serve for holding the bones of their adhering tendons, through boiling. The disarticulation of the skulls, which is performed separately, contributes the most delicate part of this operation. In the case of children or young adults, it is effected through an ingenious process consisting in filling the cerebral cavity with dry peas and then immersing the skull in water. Through the effect of such immersion, the peas swell and bring about a dilatation of the most delicate surfaces. A certain number of the kettles are reserved for carcasses of animals designed to form exoskeletons of a lower proximate than the human ones, big enough enabling the study of natural history, and serving an important article of Pugnani export. After the homes have been submitted to a prolonged training, they are carried to tadpoles where young women carefully attach them in order to free them perfectly from the soft tissues that adhere to them. Certain specialists obtain very high wages for this work, especially those who prepare very delicate bones, such as those of frogs, lizards, etc. Here is an innocent deliverance of a zoological kind: "There are a great many donkeys in the theological gardens." Here also is a definition which really can't very bad in its way: "Demagogue, a vessel containing beer and other liquids." Here, too, is a sample of a boy's composition on girls, which I must say, I rather like: "Girls are very stuck up and dignified in their manner and behave your. They think more of dress than anything, and like to play with dowls and rags. They cry if they see a cow in a far distance, and are afraid of guns. They stay at home all the time and go to church every Sunday. They are all ways sick. They are always funny and making fun of boys' hands, and say how dirty. They can't play marbles. I pity them, poor things. They make fun of eggs and then turn round and love them. I don't believe they ever killed a cat or anything. They look out every note and say, 'Oh, isn't the moon lovely?' This is one thing I have not told, and that is they always now their lessons bottom boys." — Ex. Preservation of Eggs. Australian eggs are preserved in the foliage simple manner. The vessels in which the eggs are to be placed are glass jars with patent stoppers; vulcanized India-rubber joints making them perfectly air tight. As soon as the eggs have been collected, the jars are stood in hot water for some time, and left until the air in them has become thoroughly warm and rarened. The jars having been heated, the eggs are wrapped up in paper to prevent them knocking together, and placed in a warm receptacle, their pointed ends being uppermost. The jars are immediately closed up, and then, and not until then, are removed from the here is an innocent deliverance of a zoological kind: "There are a great many donkeys in the theological gardens."

You mean tha After the bones have been submitted to a prolonged baking they are carried to tinder where young women carefully sit them in order to free them perfectly from the soft tissues that adhere to them. Certain specialists often in very high wages for this work especially those who prepare very delicate bones, such as those of frogs, lizards, etc. The fat that swims on the surface in the kuttles is skimmed off with care and put into a special vessel in one owner of the hall? What is its destination? That is a mystery. After being scraped, the bones are big enough either through the action of chisel of lime, for deep shear or that of the sun for high pressure ores. Finally, they go to a special work room where they are assembled, mounted upon brass and articulated. These total operations require a probound knowledge of osteology along with an artistic eye. In fact, it is necessary to select from a collection of all sorts of bones, those that can be well brought together to look as if they once formed and the same individual. The others are cold singly, for the use of students of hospital necropsy, who are content with a portion of an unmounted skeleton. It is curious to find that sex has a great influence on the market value of the bones, a beautiful female skeleton being usually worth 20 or 30 per cent more than a male one of corresponding quality. Special kettles are devoted to children from those of the most elementary ages up to those of two or three years. These situations are arranged in show cases, in as judging series, from the miniature three or four inches in height up to the baby of twenty or thirty inches. These little skeletons have proportionally a greater value than those of their adult brothers. It may naturally be asked whether all the cadavers come. Most of them, it appears, are furnished by the hospitals and dissenting rooms, and others by the prisons. As a general thing, the supply has been less than the demand, but in recent times the abundances and cheapness of skeletons of Austrian origin have considerably impressed the market. Nevertheless, despite the industrial and commercial crisis that prevails throughout the world, the industry under consideration seems to be in a most flourishing condition. Hindoo's Mode of Reaping and Cleaning Grain. The Milling World tells its readers how the Hindoo reaps with an iron blade, six inches long, an inch wide, and curved like a stickle, costing him four cents. He squats on his heels, cuts a handful, lays it down, and without rising off his heels, wafts forward and cuts another. In twelve days he bows simple manner. The vessels in which the eggs are to be placed are glass jars with patent stoppers, vulcanized India-rubber joints making them perfectly air tight. As soon as the eggs have been collected, the jars are stood in hot water for some time, and left until the air in them has become thoroughly warm and rarefied. The jars having been heated, the eggs are wrapped up paper to prevent their knocking together, and placed in a warm receptacle, their pointed ends being uppermost. The jars are immediately closed up, and then, and not until then, are removed from the hot water. It is said that if this process is skillfully carried out, the eggs will be as fit for the breakfast table as the day they were laid, many months after they were put in the jars. The eggs will stand a better chance of keeping, if the paper in which they are packed is previously baked and used warm. Patent stoppered jars are not absolutely necessary; any stopper answering which effectually excludes the air. At the late Birmingham, England, cattle show, prizes were offered for the best dozen of preserved eggs, and they were given, as was the case the year previous, to those preserved in simple lime and water, or packed in dry salt. Samples were shown covered with melted sand, beeswax oil or lard, and all these were good. But strange to say, one exhibit which had been rubbed over with pure vaseline as seen as land was the worst of all. All the eggs were putrid. A Murderous Schoolmaster. Milwaukee, April 16 — Last Thursday George Werner, a school teacher in a country town near here, came to Milwaukee and gave himself up to the police. While punishing one of his pupils named Henry Sengbush, aged 12 years, the boy suddenly sank to the floor and expired. At the post mortem to-day it was discovered that the lad's neck was broken. At the inquest held this afternoon the schoolmates of young Sengbush testified that the teacher caught the boy by the collar and shook him violently for a few minutes. Then he commanded him to come out on the floor and hold out his hands. The boy obeyed slowly when the teacher ferruled him sharply four times on each hand. As he was striking the last blow, the boy fell to the floor. It is considered certain by the physicians that his neck was dislocated at the first shaking, in which case the whipping was done while the boy was in a dying condition. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict holding Werner. Most intense excitement prevails among the neighbors of the boy's parents, and Werner's neck would be in danger if they could get at him. Strange Accident. New Rochester, April 16 — This morning one of the strangest accidents occurred here that has ever been witnessed by railroad men. An unknown man while walking Hindoo's Modes of Reaping and Cleaning Grain. The Milling, World Tells its readers how the Hindoo reaps with an iron blade, six inches long, an inch wide, and curved like a sickle; costing him four cents. He squats on his heels, cuts a handful, lays it down, and without rising off his heels, waddles forward and cuts another. In twelve days he cuts an acre, and receives like cents a day, boarding himself. When he wants to thrash his grain, he drives a stake in the ground, spreads his grain around it, ties a rope to his bull's horn and then to the stake, and drives him around and around till the straw is tramped very fine into what they call "bhoosa." This is folk to the cattle after the wheat is separated. English men have introduced threshing machines; but the Hindoo will have none of them. They think their cattle would not eat the straw because it breaks it instead of tramping it flat. They clean their wheaten holding it up in the wind in a scoop made of reeds; or, if the wind is not blowing, two Hindoos make wind by waving a blanket, while a third dribbles the grain from the scoop. Fun in School Exercises. Mark Twain has written a little book soon to be published by Cassell & Co., entitled "English as She is Taught." It is made up from a note-book of a public school teacher not many miles from New York, who has preserved all the amusing errors her pupils have made during the past few years. The compilation is one that nobody with a well-regulated sense of humor can feel without shouts of laughter. In the perfect seriousness of the blunders lies their absurdity. Here are some of their answers to words they were asked to define: "Auriferous, pertaining to an office;" "aumonia, the food of the gods;" "Equestrian, one who asks questions;" "parasite, a kind of umbrella;" "ipecac, a man who likes a good dinner." And here is this definition of an ancient word honored by a great party: "Republican, a sinner mentioned in the Bible." And case the whipping was done while the boy was in a dying condition. The Coroner's guilty render a verdict holding Werner. Most intense excitement prevails among the neighbors of the boy's parents, and Werner's neck would be in danger if they could get at him. Strange Accident. New Rochelle, April 16—This morning one of the strangest accidents occurred here that has ever been witnessed by railroad men. An unknown man while walking along the track was struck by a freight train and killed. His body was thrown upon the pilot of the engine, where it lay until Larchmont was reached. There it fell to the rafted and both feet were cut off. Another train on the opposite track struck the man and once more he was hurled upon a pilot and lay there until New Rochelle was again reached, where the body rolled off and the trunk fell under the wheels a second time. When the train moved, it was seen that only a headless trunk remained after the terrible bullying it had received. Artesian Wells in the Desert. Respecting the plan of Colonel Landas for fertilizing the African desert by means of wells, Sir K Lambert Playfair, in the course of a consular tour in Tunis, has visited the ground where the first well was sunk, and reports most favorably as to the success of the project. A space of 375 acres has been cleared, and sown with cereals and lucerne, a vegetable garden been made, and a nursery of young trees planted. Two other wells are being sunk, which on completion will irrigate 7,500 acres of land. The Bey of Tunis has conceded to the company 25,000 acres of land, which they can select themselves from districts which are at present no value. The Commercial says that a Bangor man in a logging crew, on the way out of the woods, was made sick in a singular way. The crew's provisions gave out, and they were reduced to eating cracked corn. This man drank a lot of water, the corn swelled and he nearly died before the doctor reached him. First Urchin—How many Jimmy? Second Urchin—Two First Urchin—Gosh! he goes when it's once broken TROUBLE FOR THE "Ma," inquired Bobby idea of heaven? "Well, I think not, B" "I heard him say that in Albany seemed like here." STARTLING RESERVE Marcellus—Lodemia, on your mother's consent to our marriage itself? Lodemia—I am sure I Marcellus—Because we it. See? Both thank me for it. Lodemia (stiffly)—Ah, Mr. Hankinson; can you marry is like the color Marcellus—No, dearest Lodemia—Because I have the conclusion that it can't come off. Come off.

The "lit 5 feet 11 inches tall in her was at that moment), hiding face on the dear shoulder, and wept happy the deeply moved lover: good keer of my wee bird lect that she's been raised like.

Renben—'Cause, there goes Deacon Jones' barn over to the southard. WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK NOW. First gentleman (entering the apartment of second gentleman)—About a year ago you challenged me to fight a duel? Second Gentleman, sternly—I did, sir. First G.—And I told you that I had just been married, and I did not care to risk my life at any such hazard. Second G., haughtily—I remamber, sir. First G., bitterly—Well, my feelings have undergone a change; any time you want to fight let me know. Bonjour. UNRELIABLE SCALES. Omaha Demo (anxiously)—Why, how thin you took! Married Daughter—Thin! Why, I thought I was gaining in weight. "Nonsense. You are getting as thin as a rail." "It's very queer. My husband can't hold me on his lap half as long as he used to because I've got so heavy." CAUGHT IN A TRAP. Omaha Wife—Isn't Miss Blank lovely? Cautious Husband (who has praised women before)—Well, I wasn't particularly impressed with her. "You weren't?" "No; I thought she was the commonest, homiest, ugliest—" "Oh! You brute! She's a perfect picture of me." "Oh! You mean that Miss Blank. Yes." He'll have to split his own cordwood and dig his own taters now. But go, birdie, and be happy! SATISFACTION FOR ONE. "All purchases warranted satisfactory, or money refunded," was the sign that attracted a countryman into a Baxter street clothing store. His purchase proved to be unsatisfactory to him, and he went back for his money. "No, mine friend; we don't vas do beezness dat vay," replied the proprietor. But your sign promises satisfaction or money refunded." "Dot vas all right. I stand by dot sign. Dot purchase was satisfactory mit me, and I don't vas guarantee to give satisfaction mit you." PLAINLY INHERITED. "Papa," said fond mamma, "do you know that Bobby told me a deliberate story today?" "What's that?" said mama, looking sternly at Bobby; "a story? Do you know what becomes of little boys who tell stories? (Bobby didn't know)." The lions and tigers eat 'em up. You mustn't tell stories, Bobby; it's wicked." Romantic Marriage. SANTA CRUZ, April 16. — A romantic marriage occurred at Point New Year to-day. J.M. Pierce, assistant foghorn keeper on New Years Island, advertised in a San Francisco newspaper, a few weeks ago, for a wife. The advertisement was answered, and this afternoon he and the lady who answered the advertisement were married on the beach by the Pescadero Justice, after which they were rowed out to the foghorn station on the island in a skiff. The lady THE SUNDAY LAW. WASHINGTON, April 17. — This has been a quiet Sunday in Washington. The order of the Commissioners directing the closing of nearly all places of business went into effect this morning, and was generally observed, except in a few matters upon which there was a difference of opinion between the municipal authorities. There were several dealers, however, especially in the downtown districts, who kept open, and announced their intention to test the law. The order which produced this result was based upon an absolute statute, and directed that all places of business, such as groceries, saloons, butcher shops, confectionery and cigar stores, be kept closed on Sunday; that news stands and newaboys should not be allowed to sell after 1 o'clock; that drug stores should sell nothing but medicines, and that carriages should not loiter on the streets. The delivery of milk, bread, etc., and articles purchased, the order said, would not be interfered with, nor would eating houses be closed that were separated from restaurants. The liquor men are believed in nearly every instance to have obeyed the order, although the police report that there were one or two violations. It was noticed that two saloon men kept bartenders at their doors, and that people were allowed to enter. The cigar stores were closed with the exception of some places where the owners informed the police that they desired to test the law. All confectioneries were closed, and no hacks were seen on the streets. The police refused to state the number of violations discovered, but six arrests were made for drunkenness up to ten o'clock tonight against an average of about 20 on previous Sundays. LONG ISLAND CITY, April 17. — Sheriff CAUGHT IN A TRAP. Omaha Wife—Isn't Miss Blank lovely? Cautious Husband (who has praised women before)—Well, I wasn't particularly impressed with her. "You weren't!" "No; I thought she was the commonest, homiest, ugliest—" "Oh! You brute! She's a perfect picture of me." "Oh! You mean that Miss Blank. Yes, she's angelic." A HOPELESS CASE. Mother—What did your Mr. Tompkins say to you, Clara, last night, while he was trying to button your glove? Clara (sadly)—He said that the man who would make a glove that wouldn't button easier than that ought to be hanged. Mother—Well, I wouldn't waste any more time there! AN ECONOMICAL BRIDE. Young Housewife—I want a cake of yeast, compressed yeast, I think it is called. How much is it? Grocer—Two cents, ma'am. Young Housewife—and is that the least expensive you have? Husband said I must economize wherever I can. And I don't like yeast anyway. Haven't you some that's cheaper than that, perhaps? Grocer—Yes, ma'am, we have some that was left over from last week. Young Housewife—You may send it round Husband says a penny saved is two pence earned. "Oh, if you haven't got some of those delicious Japanese preserves! I just dote on them! How much are they, please?" Grocer—Two dollars a jar, ma'am. Young Housewife—Oh, if Jack likes them half as well as I do how delighted he will be! Just send me half a dozen jars, please, when you send round the yeast. That's all today. Grocer—Yes, ma'am. HE SHUT THE DOOR. "Fannie," said a Sixteenth street mother to her pretty daughter; "didn't I hear Frank kiss you last night when he went away?" "No, ma'am, you did not," replied the daughter, indignantly. "No!" said the mother, suspiciously. "No, you didn't; because Frank shut the parlor door before—" Then the girl stopped and blushed, and blushed again, and made a rush for her own room. LIGHTNING-LIKE RAPIDITY. First Urchin—How much yer got left, Jimmy? Second Urchin—Two cents. First Urchin—Gosh! how quick a nickel goes when it's once broke. TROUBLE FOR THE OLD MAN.

The advertisement was answered, and this afternoon he and the lady who answered the advertisement were married on the beach by the Pescadero Justice, after which they were rowed out to the foghorn station on the island in a skiff. The lady is from San Francisco. A disturbance of "unusual energy," as the weatherman would say, has been raging among the girl students at Vassar College. The sweet undergraduates wanted and determined to have a distinctive college costume, but the Faculty have persistently vetoed their frequent requests for permission to adopt one, and the girls are terribly mad about it. The secret of the matter is that Poughkeepsie is only a short distance from West Point, and the Vassar students desire an insignia by which the cadets and nice young men generally may know them from the other girls in town. The Inlans of Washington Territory have an unconventional method by means of which they kill a great many deer in a short time. They take some old blankets well scented with Indian and fasten them at short intervals upon the bushes, making a long hide of bushes so covered. Then taking in a large area of timber, they gradually close in on the frightened deer. When the animals have reached the line of blankets they travel around in a circle like a whirlpool, refusing to pass the line of blankets. This enables the Inlans to kill them as rapidly as they please. Recently the head of a great Bordeaux wine house called on Prince Bismarck, who for years has purchased most of his wines from that house. The man of blood and iron gave an order for a large consignment of wines, and then the Frenchman discreetly fished for an opinion as to the probability of war. "Tut, tut," exclaimed the Prince, "what put war into your head? Do you suppose I would order wine of you if I expected war? No, no; I would come and get it myself." Mrs. Sykie Williams, a negro woman at Americas, Ga., left her children Sunday in charge of a negro girl. On the return of the mother the children complained that the girl had whipped them. This so enraged the woman that she seized a hoe and beat out the brains of the girl with it. The negroes in the neighborhood would have lynched the woman but for the intervention of officers. A musician at Baberton, Cape Colony, were one or two violations. It was noticed that two saloon men kept bartenders at their doors, and that people were allowed to enter. The cigar stores were closed with the exception of some places where the owners informed the police that they desired to test the law. All confectioneries were closed, and no hacks were seen on the streets. The police refused to state the number of violations discovered, but six arrests were made for drunkenness up to ten o'clock tonight against an average of about 20 on previous Sundays. LONG ISLAND CITY, April 17. —Sheriff Mitchell, of Queen's county, stationed Deputy Sheriffs at every park and ground where baseball is usually played on Sundays, early this morning, with instructions to prevent the opening of the gates and the playing ball, and also posted notices at the entrances forbidding the games. Nearly 10,000 persons gathered at Ridgewood, expecting to see a game between the Brooklynys and Metropolitanians. Great excitement prevailed all day and loud expressions of disappointment were heard on all sides. Several thousand persons also assembled in the neighborhood of the other parks. Sheriff Mitchell says the same action will be taken every Sunday during the season. Vine Diseases. Santa Ana Standard. Vineyard lists are expressing uneasiness at the appearance of a strange disease like mildew which works upon the roots and prevents the vine developing. Some call it the French mildew, but we presume it is something like the disease that killed some of the old vines last year. The people in this part of the country are so unaustomed to disease in the trees or vines, that the slightest appearance of such a thing sets them to worrying. However, the grape crop promises to be immense, and the next thing will be to worry about the markets. A few evenings ago while the W.C.T.U. were in secret session in committee of the whole upon the state of the Union, one of the ladies was seized with a severe fainting spell, a complaint to which she is subject. With promptness and skill a powerful restorative in the shape of brandy was applied and a messenger dispatched for her husband—a noted temperance man. By the time he arrived the room was so strongly fumigated with the odor of California brandy that it would remind an old toper of paradise. The husband entered, elevated his proboscis in the air and quietly remarked: "Ladies, this don't smell much like a ladies temperance hall." The young ladies tittered, the old ones frowned and the matter was explained, but the joke was a good one. Crushing. If True.

"Ma," inquired Bobby, "hasn't pa a queer idea of heaven?" "Well, I think not, Bobby. Why?" "I heard him say that the week you spent in Albany seemed like heaven to him." STARTLING RESEMBLANCE. Marcellus—Lodemia, can you tell me why your mother's consent to our marriage is like our marriage itself? Lodemia—I am sure I can't imagine why. Marcellus—Because we both thank her for it. See? Both thank her—both hanker—for it. Lodemia (stiffly)—Ah, that reminds me, Mr. Hankinson; can you tell me why our marriage is like the color of your nose? Marcellus—No, dearest; I give it up. Lodemia—Because I have about come to the conclusion that it can't come off. Beef Can't come off. Come off? PARTING WITH BIRDIE. "It ain't ev'rybody I'd trust my little gal to," said old farmer Skinner to the lovelorn young granger who had become enamored with Miss Sally Skinner and wished to carry her from the loving care and shelter of the home nest. The "little gal," who was 5 feet 11 inches tall in her bare feet (as she was at that moment), hid her happy, blushing face on the dear, fond old father's shoulder, and wept happy tears as he said to the deeply moved lover: "You must take good kee of my wee birdling, Jack. Ricollect that she's been raised kind o' tender like. Two acres a day is all I ever asked her to plow, and an acre of corn a day is all she's used to hoeing. She kin do light work, such as makin' rail fences and diggin' postholes, and burning brush, and all that, but ain't used to reg'lar farm work, and you musn't ask too much of her. It's hard for her old dad to give his little sunshine up. Mrs. Sykie Williams, a negro woman at American, Ga., left her children Sunday in charge of a negro girl. On the return of the mother the children complained that the girl had whipped them. This so entraged the woman that she seized a hoe and beat out the brains of the girl with it. The negroes in the neighborhood would have lynched the woman but for the intervention of officers. A musician at Baberton, Cape Colony, played the piano for twenty-four consecutive hours "without breaking harmony." During the time his only refreshment was beef tea and an occasional cigar. He finished in excellent condition, and subsequently performed at two music halls. There was a sensation Saturday at San Diego when the case of Michael Clancy, charged with a felonious assault on Miss Pannie Honeg, came up. The victim's sister pulled a revolver from under her cloak, intending to shoot Clancy. She was disarmed and led out of court. Lotta owns in her own name and without incumbrances the Park Theater in Boston and the International Hotel property in front of that place of amusement. For this she paid $350,000 in cool cash. The new act of the Kansas Legalature, which gives to women the right of suffrage in all local elections, authorizes the local authorities to exclude from registration as voters all women who were not born in this country. Rats are killed by the hundred at the electric light works in Birmingham, Conn. Pieces of meat are scattered on the floor and connected by wires with the dynamo. The rats nibble at the meat and are instantly killed by the electric current. An officer of the Salvation Army has been brought into court at Charlotte, North Carolina, for endeavoring to induce a handsome heiress to renounce home and fortune, marry a Captain and devote service to the army. London, April 17.—The Times, as a proof of its assertion at the conclusion of its articles on "Parnellism and Crime," that it has further documentary evidence, prints a facsimile letter signed by Parnell and supposed to have been addressed to Egan to pacify his subordinates when Parnell publicly denounced the Phoenix Park murders. The letter fills one side of an ordinary sheet of note paper and is in a strange handwriting. "Yours, very truly, Chas. S. Parnell," in Parnell's writing, is at the top of the other leaf. The Times suggests that the signature was so written so that it could be torn off if necessary. The letter which is dated simply "15, 5, 82," without an address, is as follows: DZAB SIR—I am not surprised at your friend's anger, but he and you should know that to denounce the murder was the only course open to us. To do that promptly was plainly our best policy. But you can tell him and all others concerned that while I regret Lord Cavendish's death, I cannot refuse to admit that Burke got no more than his deserts. You are at liberty to show him this, and others whom you can trust also; but let not my address be known. He can write to the House of Commons. The Times says: "Parnell cannot expect that simply the repudiation of this letter will have any weight with public opinions; he must bring more solid proofs to annul the effect of the disclosure." Miss Berlisa Shaul of Sharon Springs, N.Y., a student at Vassar College, was visiting Miss Minnie Kerter of St. Clair, Penn., a fellow student, and they, in company with two young men, Harry Short and Edwin Thompson, Monday entered a coal mine, when an explosion occurred, by which Miss Kerter was killed and the three other persons were frightfully burned and seriously injured otherwise.
