Human Bones in STACKS.

Philadelphia Record: In one corner
was an Enclosure, which contained tasl,-
els upon bushels of human bones, Piled in
heape, bleaching and hlistering in the
sum. A grave was being dug, and we
watched the progress, The Indians used
a crowbar and ~mhchetr. ~st6oping out the
loose eartn with their hands. Proceeding
lower down, they filed their hemp-ibre
aprons with the dirt and scrambled to thr
top with it, New and tten tie urowbar

skull. Then the Indians would take il out
IN Their hands, examine and comment
upon 1t, and generally identify
1t as having belonged 10 some irienSl er
ncighbof. If the bones belonging with
1t were easily obtaintble they lifted them
out respectfully md laid them OH the pile
IN the chatnel house. III seemed as If
every skull in the yard had once sat upon
the shoulders of an acquaintance, SO many

Bismarck and the Press.

Prince Bismarck, says a Paris cores
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, refers to
the work of the press as nothing but
printers ink spread on paper" But no
man reads the papers more diligently
than he. Besides personally reading cv-
cry day a dozen or more of the leading
journals from various European capitals,
he keeps a staff of from four to sin clerks
constantly at work, like the exchangeedi
tors in a newspaper office, scanning the
columns Of hundreds and perhaps thous-
ands of papers from ali parts of the
world, and clipping out every item that
can possibly be of interest to him. These
clippings, with the names and dates of
the papers from which they are taken,
are carefully classified and indeXed and
pasted in enormous scrap books. These
volumes form a conspicuous feature in
the chanccllor's private library. There
is one lettcred on the back SOCIALISM,"
another "Francc-Military." another
''Francc-Civil. another" Russia, 'amoth-
er 'Culturkampf,' so on. Each volumcis
subdivlded into chapters. and ali so care
fully indexcd that the statesman can turn
w N'iaN haS DStIi Stih ny any puIiltlldl
paper on any particular subject. This
vast encyclopaedia is made use of in
many ways. | remember Il gentleman
from Chicago telling a few years ago a
curious incident of his visit to Berlin.
He called on Prince Bismarck
armed with Il note of introduc-
ton from the German minister
at Washington. The prince received him
cordially. and after u few general re
marks, said: Il see hatyour Chicago pa
pers are pitching into me on the pork
question" And then he went on 10 quote
the exact language the various papers
had used and replied to theii arguments.
"Hc told me" said the gentleman, more
about the Chicago papers and the pork
packing industries than | knew myself.
And before | left in anne Congressman
--, from California, and the prince at
once turned on him with u lot of talk
about the silver question and about what
the Pacific coast newspapers were saying
about it," This is one of the secrets Of
Prince Bismarck greatness.

other day. sale. an old citizen yesterday
as he headed for the police court, and !
found ;. man vanishing my front door.
l, o. course, asked him who sent him up.
and he then claimed to have made 2 mis-
take in the house. lie had one of the
panels vanished, and the contrast be.
tween the new and old was very e~lailng.
However, knowing it to be an old trick,
| ordered him off the premises and would
not let him finish the door. A day or
two passed and my wife telcphoned TO Il
boss painter to send up a man to finish
the job. He had Just got to work when
got home, and what didI do but take
hin by the neck and heels and throw him
over the fence. Then, as he gave me
some back talk. l jumped over and culfed
his cars, surprising, of course, that he was
the same old fraud. Last night | had n

THE GREAT CITY.

The place where the great city stands is not
the place of stretched wharvcs, docks
manufactures, deposits OF produce,
Nor the place. Of ceaseless salu.es of new
comers, or the anchor filters of The de
parting,
Nor tho place d the %tailest and ~costliest
buildings, or shops selling goods from the
rest of the earth,
Nor the place of the best libraries, and
schools, nor the place where money is
plentiest,
Nor the place Of the most numerous popula-
tie',,
Where The city stands with the braHnlest
breed of orators and bards;
Where the city stands tia. is beloved by
these, and loves them in return, and I'M
&crstands them.
| Where no monuments exist to heroes but in
the common words and deeds;
Where thrift is in It's place, and produce is ia
Its tlace'
Where the men and women think lightly of
laws;
Where The slave ceases, and the master OF
slaves ceases;
Where the p~opulace rise at once against tho
mover ending sudacity of elected persons;
Where fierce men and women pour forth, as
the sea 10 the whistle of death pours III
sweeping ana n%nfippied waves.
Where the city Of the faiti,fullcat friend'
stands;
Where the city of tie cleanliest Ct the sexes
stands,
Where The city of the healthtest father
stands;
Where The city of the best bodied mother
stanhs.
There the great city stands.

Genuine Mosquitoes.


One of the pests of life in South
America is the ubiquitous mosquito,
which there attains such an enormous
size and renom that his victims are
numbered by the scores. Not Ion. ago
a herd of valuable cattle taken from
the United States to a ranch upon the
Magdalena River became so desperate
under the attack of the mosquitoes that
they broke from their stalls. jumped
into the water and all were drowned.
Passengers intending TO make the
voyage usually provide themselves with
protection in the shape of mosquito
bars. head nets and thick gloves. and
when on deck are compelled to tie
their sleeves around their wrists and
pautloons around their ankles. Even
these precautions are not always effect
i've. Large rs the insects are thew

through the smallest c~rerice, and it is
often necessary to change ones clothes
four or five times a day on their ac-
count. Day and night they give the
sensitive skinned travellers no rest. /
have been solcmnly assured thai very
often when they have attacked a boat
and driven its captain and crew below
they have broken the windows of the
cabin by p%lnnging in swarms against
them and have attempted to burst in
the doors. Although this may be
something of an exaggeration it is
nevertheless true thai frequently horses
and cattle, after the most frightful suf-
ferings, have died from mosquito bites
Oh board the vessels.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Best Use OF Bones.

The earliest and quickest way to re-
duce bones known TO me, says a Corre-
spondent of the New York Tribune, is to
break the large ones into pieces about
the size of n boys hand, place them in a
large iron kett the larger the betterl
then fill the kettle with strong I've made
from wood ashes and boil them. In q
few hours all the softer bones will be
dissolved; the harder ones may be re-
turned to the next batch. After the dis.
solution is accomplished. the liquid may
be mixed with the leached ashes, with
an equal quantity of well dried and pull
veri ed muck or other earth On land
where there is fair amount of humus,
this compost is one of the best known.
a half pint of the mixture on a hill of
potatoes or corn works wonders: aud
there is no better fertilizer for the vine
yard, where it has the effect not only to
produce large clusters and large berries,
but to greatly improve the quality of the
fruit There is nothing better for onions
than this, applied or sprinkled along the
rows after the first wedding. Hen man
ure should not be mixed with this com
post, as the potash decomposes it, dis
charging the ammonia into the air. en-
failing the loss Of its most valuable in
gredient.

"Oh, in holiday week it's going on 12

"Oh, yes; but" a deep sigh: ''oh,
well, it'll be better when Pm growed a
little; I'll he saleslady then, and make
five dollars and maybe more, if I'm real
persuasive"
The real persuasiveness' Of the incip-
lent saleSlady has often recurred TO my
mind. To be real persuasive on five dol

worthy Of imitation.
