Skeletons.
Hedilh.

Every physician. writes a Cincinn att
Enquirer correspondent, must have q
skeleton as part Of his outfit. and there
fore their preparation is an important
feature in the profession. Medical
itnerants have neither the time nor
the facilities for this work. and hence
1t naturally falls into the hands Of the
college janitOr. Skeletons with him
are an article Of merchandise, the quo
tations being $50 for very fine specl-
men, while an ordinary article is Of
fered for $50. The important but
difficult task is to clean the bones with
out marrng them or leaving the mark
OF the knife. 1t is not necessary to tell
how this j. done, but the process is
very simple. Each janitor may get up
twenty-five skeletons in a season, some
times more. This forms u very i'm
portant perquisitc, and indeed, ii right
~ improved, his berth can be made
very profitable. There is also a con-
slant importation OF skeletons from
Paris, which is carried on by the deal
ers in surgical Instruments. The French
have the art OF whitening the bones in
"a way never attained IN this country,
and the price Is generally from 500 TO
slUO. The Partisan establishments
exec. in turning out the best skeletons
OF children, aud even of infants, and
some OF the latter look like dear little
doll skeletons that one mIght want to
dandlc in the arms or rock IN the cra-
die. They are very cunning-lOo Ing
things, these dear little baby skeletons.
