A lady stood patiently before a
cashiers window in a bank the other
day, but no one took notice of her till
she tapped with her parasoi on the
glass. "Why don't you pay attention
to me?" she asked, petulantly. "I'm
sorry, ma'am; but we don't pay any
thing here. Next window, please"
was the polite response.

IA Cargo Of Bones.

More than seven hundred tons of
bones is what a Sun reporter saw re-
Gently inthe hold Of the steamship
Wingates, The steamship, a British
vessel, had arrived at New York
three days before from Alexandria,
Egypt. She is built of iron and has
an immense hold, which is open to
plain view from the upper decks.
When the reporter boarded the ship
she was lying at the pier of the Ma
tional Storage Company at Black Top
Island, little spot of land east of
Bedlow's Island. Down in the hold,
into which the reporter was curiously
gazing, was the big heap of white,
cleaning bones, that looked like
splinters Of wood. A lot of swarthy
sailors and some New York long
shoremen were busy shovelling them
into big wooden buckets that were
hoisted by means of a windlass up to
the main deck and thence emptied
into barge that was alongside.
"There are 700 tons of Them" said
the mate of the Wingates, "and they
come from the Great Sahara"
The misfortunes of man and beast
in the great desert of North Africa
have thus been turned to commercial
account. For centuries these bones
have been accumulating in the shift
ing sands and every year adds to the
CHASTITY store. Overcome by hunger
and thirst, or buried under tons of
sand driven by the terrible wind
storms, caravans have succumbed in
the vast, lonely waste year after
year. Their bones strew the paths OF
the caravans. Some years ago Ger.
man trader conceived the idea OF
collecting these bones to sell for man.
ufacturing and fertilizing purposes
The idea was easily carried into exc
cution, for the bones lie near the sur.
face and every wind blows away
their sandy shroud. Having receiv
ed contracts from European mer
chants he organized and equipped
caravans at Alexandria and sen
them out in the desert to gather thu
bones. The expense was small, a
the Egyptian labor is very cheap anC
there was no digging required to ge
at the merchandise. Millions of ton
of bones lay there, converting tn
big desert into vast cemetery, witt
no ornament to mark the graves
The remains of beast and man, slav
. and owner, warrior and merchant al
lay mingled together. in indistin
guishable masses. The natives hav
shown no repungance to gatherin
the bones of what were proably thei
ancestors for the base purpose fo
t which they are destined, except ths
/. they refuse to take human skulls
!. These they bury whenever the
t come across them, but the decapita
q ed skeletons are thrown in with tn
4 bones of the camels and horses.
r The bones are used in the refine
|. ment of sugar,in the manufacture (

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. Goth, 1888.

DIR. A. T. SHALLENBERGER,
Rochester, Pa. Dear Sir:-I wish to say
a word in behalf of your wonderful Chill
and Fever Pills. Some months ago friend,
who knew that my wife had been afflicted
for months, sent me package of your
pills. l gave them to Iher and they cured
her at once. A neighbor, Mr.. Perry, had
suffered with chills for more than year,
and had taken Qninine until his hearing
was greatly injured. Seeing the cure
wrought in my wife's case, he procured a
bottle of pills and was speedily restored to
perfect health. l feel that this is due to
you. Very truly,
Rev. j. ID. DAVIS.

JEFF DAVIS DEAD.

Jefferson Davis, the moving spirit
in the once pretentious Southern con-
federacy, died i'm New Orleans on the
9th inst. at the age OF 81, having been
born in Todd county, Kentucky, June
3, lSOS.
jeff Davis" as he was commonly
called, has been a great character in
American history. Like Cesar, he
was ambitious and crafty. His vir-
tues were distinctly negative. lie pos
sessed great will power and force but
they Were not guided by sound judg-
ment. There was never an hour or
a minute during the great conflict to
preserve the Union, that the Southern
confederacy had any show of success,
and when the chances became abso-
lutely hopeless he should have stopped
the flow of blood. lie lived long
enough to see the dawn of new era,
when sectional hate is disappearing
and the South flourishing as it never
has before. lie ventured all in an
idea, a principle, and il he was sincere
and honest, though wrong, he is, in
death, entitled to charitable consider
alton and respect.

At the Wool Growers Convention
held in Washington last week the
National Wool Growers Association
OF the United States was organized by
the adoption OF a constitution and
the election OF the following officers to
serve one year: Columbus Delano, OF
Ohio, president; j. II. Rich. OF Michi-
gan, vice-presidcnt; c. II. Beall, of
West Virginia, treasurer; George IL
Wallace, OF Missouri, secretary; and
Cassitt, OF New York, assistant score
tary. +. n. Russell, OF Vermont, W.
l.. Black, of Texas, and John Mellow
ell, OF Pennsylvania, were selected to
act with the officers OF the associa-
ton as an executive board. An adj
dress to the wool growers of the
country will be issued at any early
date. One OF the principal subjects
discussed was the differentiation of
the so-called ring waste. Last year
the importation OF this wool equaled
the entire wool crop OF either Ohio or
Texas. About twenty-four million
pounds of this wool was imported,
principally from England, and sold in
the markets OF this country at from
62 to 65 cents a pound, while in some
markets fine secured California wool
sold at 50 cents per pound. A COM
mittee waited upon Secretary Win
dom and made a protest against this
unjust classification. The secretary
stated that he was engaged i'm thor
ongh investigation OF the subject, and
full justice would be done the wool
growers.
