Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1888-01-13

A few evenings ago q party of young
people who had lately returned from a
trip to the Arkansas hot springs were
visiting an old Irish lady in Brooklyn,
relative of most of them. She had never
seen the greht west, and was very curious
in regard to it. The young folks enlight
ened her with the most entertaining
stories they knew, and at last the gentle
man who was the leader of the excursion
lists gave graphic account of a cyclone
which had burst upon them as they were
descending a rugged and precipitous
mountain back of the hot springs He
described how they first became aware of
its approach by means of a low grumbling
and whistling which seemed to come from
every side; that presently their mules be-
came frightened and tried to kick them
off their backs; that, not succeeding, they
began to gallop headlong down the steep
sides of the mountain in uncomfortable
terror, the cyclone pursuing them closely
and becoming more terrible every second,
and at last howling as if with baffled
rage when they reached place Of shelter
just in time to escape destruction. As
the account progressed the old lady be-
came more and more interested. Pretty
soon horror became pictured in her face;
her eyes opened staring wide; her mouth
gaped and her excitement was intense.
She could no longer contain herself as the
gentleman finished. Taking the last
words almost out of his mouth, she
shouted: s'Whoi didn't yer shoot it? Whoi
didn't yer shoot it?''-New York Times

Bone Circnlating Library.

81 want to borrow frontal bone!''
"Pm sorry can't accommodate you,
sir, but the 'frontals' are all loaned out y
"Well, give me string of 'vertebrae
instead"
"In one moment, sir"
This short conversation occurred in the
hfbone room" of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, where a large number of
disarticulated skeletons are kept and
loaned out to the students in the same
manner that books are lent from circu-
4ating library. 1t is novel institution.
The bones are numbered, labeled and
placed in order upon shelves around the
room. An attendant is always on hand
acting in the same capacity as a librarian.
1t is his duty to keep track of the bones
lent. to enter them upon books and to see
that they are returned uninjured. During
the day scores of students flock in and
out of the. place carrying packages of
strange appearance in their hands or
sticking out Of their coat pockets. They
contain human bones of all shapes and
sizes, which they are returning to or TAX
ing from the 'sBone Circulating Library"
BY this means they are enabled to prose-
cute their studies at home. Some of them
may be seen going through the streets
carrying fragments of skeletons uncovered
in their hands. Every student is entitled
to a complete skeleton after having dis
sected an entire subject, but during the
prosecution of his studies it is great adj
vantage to have separate bones to study,
and hence the establishment of the circu-
lating system.-New York Evening Sun.

PRICE ONE CENT
Trick Of New York Dre..maker..

Dressmaking in its higher branches Is
business that calls for talent and can
easily employ genius. II has fortunes in
1t, aud fortunes out of IL. American wo-
men are the best dressed and the most ex.
acting in matters of dress I'm the world.
They do NOT g,udge good price to those
who prepare their triumphs for them.
The great dressers OF New York society
are imagined TO run over TO Europe once
n twice year To procure some Of the
wonderful creations of Worth or his
rival, Pingat, to wander from Felix TO
Naneus Baronne and to inspect the latest
thing out at Nine Laferrierres.
The truth is. however, that the hand.
soonest dresses in the world are made In
this country. Some gowns which their
wearers suppose to have been imported
are In better taste than If they really had
crossed the ocean.

stock attractions at the box show OF the
