Famous Skeletons I'm the Royal Col
leEe OF Surgeons.

Here are skeletons enough to stock
another Church of St. Ursula like that
at Cologne. Attending first of all to
the genus bimana-it is extraordinary
how naturally hard words come to one
in the College of Surgeons-we find the
skeletons of sundry remarkable persons
in odd juxtaposition. Charles O'Brien,
the famous Irish giant, who died i'm
1888, is said to have had confirmed
and, as it appears, well-founded horror
that the surgeons would be ON the watch
for his remains. Just before he died
of too much good liquor, at the age of
twenty-two-he made dispositions for
his burial, requesting that he might be
sunk in the sea, far beyond low-water
mark. All his fears and schemes, how
ever, proved useless TO avert his fate, or
rather the fate of his bones to remain
above ground. At a cost, it is said, of
900, his body was secured and the
skeleton prepared. He was, If we are
to believe all we hear, eight feet two
inches high during life; the skeleton,
however, measures only seven feet
seven. Other skeletons are there of
giants and dwarfs, and one of a middle
sized thick-set man, not remarkable
from an anatomicaI noint of view but
otherwise interesting enough. II is

1t is related by Sprengel, in his
..Geschichte der Arzneikunde," that
the Arabian physicians sometimes relied
with great success on moral means for
curing disease, of which the following
is striking instance: One of Haroun
Al-Raschid's wives suffered from para
lysis of both arms. Dschibrail, the
court physician, induced the ealiph to
summon all the leading mobiles to large
hall in his palace, and then introduced
the lady to the assembled multitude.
Without word of preface he raised her
veil, when feelings of shame and fear
restored strength to the palsied arms.
The lady hastily drew her veil down
again, and was cured from that hour

Celebrated Flower Gardens Designed
for the Culture Of Rose Bushes Only.

There are but very few spots in the
world which can show so charming a
fiora of roses, besides the isle of roses
in the Sturnberg lake, near Munich, as
the Archducal Park in Alcsuth and
Margaret's Island, near Pesth. On the
latter there are at this time, the begin
ming of July, more than 10000 high
grown rose bushes i'm full bloom, each
covered with roses without number.
The sight of the gorgeous forest of roses
is represented to be fairy like, while
their fragrance, extending ever so far,
invites perfect hosts of visitors. More
than HOO different kinds of roses are
planted there, and the printed catalogue
of the two gardens mentioned presents
more than 5000 varieties of roses, the
greater part of which are blooming the
entire summer. raH soa l5l

Mating i'm Arabia

A contributor to the Catholic World
describing the work of missionaries
among the Arabs, relates this little Incl
dent: A band of 10 couples were lately
married from the orphanage of Ben
Aknoun. The fathers informed the
archbishop they had - excellent boys
who were about to leave, and whom
they wished to find wives for and settle
i'm the nearest Christian village. The
archbishop asked the superior of the
girls school if she could supply 10
maidens who would 20 and share the
humble homes of their brother orphans.
The superior replied that she had pre-
cisely the number required-girls who
must leave the shelter of the convent in
few months, and whom she was most
anxious to see provided for. The grapes
were ripe, and the vintage, which was
close at hand, would furnish an oppor-
tunity for meeting between the par
ties. So one morning, in the cool, sweet
dawn. they set out 10 the vineyard, the
naidens conducted by sister, the youths
by one of the priests; the latter took
one side and culied the grapes, while AT
the other the maidens gathered up the
branches and bound them into punches.
As they went they sang hymns and
canticles TO tighten their labor; and
| when the DAYS task was done, they LETT
the VINEYARD in two distinct bands, as
they had come, and returned to their
separate converts.

Next day the two bands of maidens
and youths sailed forth again 10 the
VINEYARDS, and so every day for week.
Then the father came in triumph 70

KISSING FOR THE CHILDREN.

Kisses in the morning
Make the day seem bright,
Filling every corner
With gleam OF hight;
And what happiness he misses,
Who. Affections impulse scorning.
Departs and gives no kisses
To the children in the morning.
Many think it folly:
Many say it's bliss;
Very much depending
On whose lips you kiss.
But the truth am confessing,
And I'd have you all take warning,
II you covet any blessing.
Kiss the children in the morning.
Kisses in the evening,
When the lights are low,
Set two hearts a-dancing
With affections glow.
And the angels swarm in numbers
Round the pillow they are pressing.
Who are wooed TO peaceful slumbers
By dear ones fond caressing.
Kisses in the morning
Are not out Of place;
Kisses in the evening
Have q special grace;
And it seems to me that this is
For indulgence lawful reason;
Sweetest tulips-I mean kissesi
Ye are never out OF season.

How to Live Lonx-A Novel French
Theory.

NJ. RObiDg, an eminent French chem
ist, announces to- the French Academy
of Medicine his belief that life exists
only in combustion, but the combustion
which occurs i'm our bodies-like that
which takes place in chimneys-leaves a
detritus which is fatal to life. To re-
move this he would administer Tactic
acid with ordinary food. This acid is
known topossess the power of removing
or destroying the inerustations which
form on the arteries, eartilages, and
valves of the heart; and, a. buttermilk
abounds in such acid, and is, moreover,
an acceptable kind Of food, its habitual
use, it is urged by NJ. Robing, will free
the system from these causes, which
inevitably causes death between the
18th and I0Oth year.

Charles Disobedienee.-0h, mother,

Yes. see," replied the mother. The
little boy started toward the door
''Don't go near the machine. Charlie,
she continued. Remember what
say to you now, or you will certainly
get hurt.r
Pooh ~ said Charlie. as he closed
the door behind him. Mother is
always frightened
He went to the barn, where the men
were getting the machine ready to
thresh the wheat. Ii soon began to
move. and. needless of his mothers
command, he pressed near to it.
"Stand back, Charlie cried his
father, who was busy with his work.
Charlie stepped back little. He
had a great desireto see themachinery;
but if he had been good and wise
boy, he would have obeyed his parents.
| am sorry to say he was neither good
nor wise. He was like a great many
other boys and girls, who wickedly

that disObedience to parents is sin
against God.
"Charlie," said his mother, calling
him from the kitchen-d n-dOor-"Charlie,
it is near schOol-time. Youmust come
in and get ready"
He did not answer. He wanted TO
stay and hear the men talk and see
the machine go. and he resolved not to
go to school unless he was driven.
Very soon his father was called away,
and then, quite eontident,he went near,
resolved to examine the machine to
his satisfaction. After looking awhile,
he took up a handful of straw and
pushed it in among the whirling blades.
There was one long, agOnizing shrek,
and a strong man seized the child and
drew him out, one hand andarm hang
ing in mangled shreds. Bleeding and
insensible, he was borne to the house
and laid upon the bed. "Oh. Charlie,
Charlie my poor ruined boy" moaned
his mother as she hung over him;
why did yOu disObey me Z"
The dOcter came, and he was placed
on a table, and men, with faces bathed
in tears, held him while the crushed
and useless arm was cut off. The pain
was terrible, and fever came on. For
several days itseemed doubtful whether
he would live or die. After a while he
began to improve. and in few weeks
he was able to go out again, but he
was MANNED for life.

Ike's Trdp.-When my brother Ike
was about nine years old, he fancied
that il would be fine sport to set snares,
and catch rabbits and other game.
So one day he set trap in a rabbit S
path. He wOve some sticks across like
a fence, leaving an aperture at which
he placed slip-noOse attached to a
stick that would spring up as soon as
the game came through.
The next day it stormed so that he
did not visit his snare but the follow
ing day he returned to the house with
full-grown rabbit in his arms. Ii w.s
III sad condition. Its bright, black
eyes glistened with pain and fright:
The snare had caught one of its legs,
which had been broken in its attempt
to release itself from the cruel string.
AS to Ike, instead of rejoicing, he
was crying as though his heart would
break. Mother" said he what shall
| do with the poor creature l never
will set another snare"
His mother told him to carry it out,
and get Uncle John to kill it and thus
end its suffering. He did so; and,
what is the best of the story. he was
true to his word. He never set snare
from that day to this.
