DR.. HAYS THEORY.

How = London Chemist Would Dispose OF
the Bodies of the Dead.
DR.. George Hay, London chemist,
advances plan for the disposition OF
the dead bodies of human beings. He
advocates an economic distribution OF
the remains. so that they may return
to the elements as soon as possible,
if for no other purpose than to furnish
fertilizer. DR.. Hay would pulverize
the body with the aid of machinery.
He says: The machines might be
contrived SO as to break the bones first
in pieces of the size of a hen egg, next
into fragments of the size of a marble,
and the mangled and lacerated mass
could next be reduced by means OF
chopping machines and steam power
to mincemeat. At this stage we have
a homogeneous mixture of the entire
body structure in the form of pulpus
mass of raw meat and raw bones.
This mass should now be dried thor.

temperature of two hundred and fifty

firstly, we wish to reduce the material
to a condition convenient for handling,
and, secondly. we wish to disinfect it,

command good price for the purpose

boiling in close vessels, The oil

Gus simple processes be converted into

most brilliant suggestion is the dis
tillation method" The bodies are to
be placed in gas retorts, and in ahDut
six hours will be converted into illumi-
mating gas, water, ammonia, tar and
animal charcoal By subsequent dis

THE COMMONPLACE WOMAN.

A fabulous, prehistoric young person,

Who's shoclsngly healthy and fearfully fat,
Who never has headache or nervous prostraton,
Commonplace! what could be more 20 than

A WOMAN'S TRICK.
How She Reduced Her Drug Bills Seventy
Five Per Cent.

How She Reduced Her Drug Bills Seventy
Five Per Cent.
The druggists and doctors, it is
claimed, can not be beaten, but the
quiet and dignifed way that little
woman in black got the better of a
compounder of drugs on Park row is
worth recording. She came in smil-
ing, and, going up to the prescription
clerk, asked:
''How much will this prescription
cost?" at the same time handing him
the following medical formula:
Spiritus juniperi.. Il OF.
Potass acetat.. ......... " drachm.
Spiritus Rthris nit .......1 OF.
Decoc scoparii (br} .......s OF.
''Sixty CENTS" replied the clerk, and
he turned away preparatory to putting
up the mixture.
, ''One minute, please returned the
little woman in black, ''just put up
one fourth the amount called for and
will come back for it."
Saying this she laid three nickles on
the counter and went out. A reporter,
who was in the drugstore at the time,
left the clerk standing as one petrifed,
and hurried after the small little wom-
an and caught her a few doors down
the street. Excusing himself for the
seeming impertinence, he asked her
how she came to think of so clever a
scheme to outwit the druggist.
1T is plan I adopted, years ago.
she replied, ''and one shall always
follow. 1 have noticed that doctors in
prescribing for u patient always write
for drugs enough to make about six
times as many doses as will probably
be taken. Well, medicine ordered
to-day for one complaint is not good
tomorrow for another ailment. There
fore any left over is wasted. To one
who has paid for it this waste is loss.
The druggist, however, loses nothing
if he keeps it, for he can use it in
filing some other prescription. have
tried the plan dozens Of times and
never made mistake but once, and
then I had no trouble, for when the
box was empty ! simply went back to
the drug store and got another supply. y

A curious medical experiment was made at

lustrate a lecture by Dr. S. II. Weeks on the
subject Of Penetrating Wounds Of the Abb
