railroads the difference between their full pas

the passenger tariff which existed during that

The skeleton Doctor.

a few days ago a rather amusing
scene took place in one of om well
known drug stores. A small hoy ell
tered to purchase bottle of blood
searclier, when lie was asked by one
of the clerks In attendance to walk
back into the doctors's Office, and he
would show him something.
The boy Went back, and was direct
ed to look at a particular closet. So
soon as his eyes We're fixed on the
same, the clerk pulled aside the
screen, and behold. u skeleton of
huge proportions presented itself to
the astonislle'l vision of the boy, who,
not. waiting TO ask any questions,
turned and ran for the door for dear
life.
IN this way he hlrrencl to run
against the doctor on the pavement,
who was coming in to attend, bis Office,
hour. The doctor not knowing what
was wrong with the boy, thinking
perhaps he was a patient, inquired OF
the clerk. who at once told him of the
joke at the recital of which the doc
tor, who Is Kind, good-natured man,
grew quite indignant, and desired the
young man to 60 ut once and bring
the lad back, so that the whole matter
might be explained.
The young man went asdesired, and
found the poor little fellow OH tile OPP
posite side Of the street gazing across
at tbs drug store, nearly frightened to
death. He was enteatetl to come
back, but he wOuldnot. Hearing this,
the doctOr-who, by the way, Is a very
thin man. and resembles a living skei-
eton--said he would 90 and bring the
poor little fellow himself; and with
that intention he went out on the
pavement, waving his hand saying
''Come over here, sonny; nobody
will hurt you."
The lad. almost afraid to stir, hal
lowed back:
No you don't you can't fool me,
though you have got your clothes oil.
You think don't know you!'

No house is ever built of wood
here, for two or three weighty rea-
sons. First, it would be too hot !;
then. If we built Of wood, the white
aunts would in a few years eat mp the
timbers, and the house would fall
about our head<; and besides, in any
case, wood suitable for building is
very scarce and dear. So the house Is
built of what are called ''kutclla"
bricks. These are simply square cakes
of q tenacious clay, kneadel with
water and dried in the sun. They are
cemented together in building with
mud; and in European houses the
whole is surrounded by an outer layer
of kiln-drietl bricks, to protect the
mud walls from washing by the rain.
Over this again, that no moisture may
penetrate the walls, is spread thin
coat Of mortar and then the build
ing is whitewashed, and it Is finished.
On account Of the white ants, there Is
no wdod in the building where it can
possibly be dispensed with the floors
are of brick and mortar, only the
doors and the beams over head are Of
wood. Houses In Northern India
have usually only one story; but that
story Is about twenty feet high. that
the heated roof may In summer be as
far from our heads as possible. So,
for the sake of GOODNESS and ventila-
tion, the rooms are large and airy.
