CEMETERIES OF PANAMA.
Graves Rented and Bodies Buried I'm Sec
ond Hand Collins.

ond Hand Cofins.
The cemeteries of Panama, five in all, are
at Cocoa grove, and are within one minutes
walk from one another. They are all man
aged by one firm, Sves Obarrloly Cha. One
of these gentlemen went with me through all
the graveyards and explained everything of
interest. The five cemeteries are the foreign,
the Chinese, the Jewish, the old Spanish and
the new Spanish. People may be buried in
any of these according to desire. The man
ayers of the cemeteries are the only ones in
the business of manufacturing, selling and
letting collins; so they have a coffin monop-
oily just as the Boston Ice company has a
monopoly of ice, or New York house has a
monopoly in hams.
There the Panama Canal company manu-
facture whatever collins they need for their
employees, and transact a very brisk business
in this particular. In the price of coffins
there is a wide margin. the sum being from
81 to 500. If even 81 is higher than can be
afforded, an old coffin more or less clean, in
good condition of repair, can be hired for
one-tenth the selling price of a new one, and
a second hand coffin of rather disreputable
appearance, bought for interment at 81, the
corpse being transferred at the grave. This
is done to large extent. For instance, if a
poor mans friends want to give him first
class send off for little money they can hire
500 coffin for one-tenth, i. e., $40, and buy
an old one for interment at 81, making S11,
or hiring $40 one, the whole cost is only IS,
or he may buy 81 one at once and not hire
any other, or he may go still lower by not
using any coffin at all, in which case he il
sandwiched between two weather beaten
boards. 1t is said that he sleeps as long and
perhaps as comfortably this way as in the
most superbly trimmed receptacle.
The graves are not sold, but rented for one
or two years. If the regular rental is not
paid the body is disinterred, the bones thrown
in common heap and the coffin used as
second hand one. This is a very general re-
suit of burial. The same system prevails,
too, in the Boredas, where holes in masonry
are let for Sl2 for eighteen months. Friends
are usually neglectful after period of mourn
ing, and a common heap of bones kept in a
hugh yard is enormous There, Celestials,
Caucasians and Africans are mixed up like
Buttercups babies. This tumble of human
remains suggests much trouble when Gabriel
blows his trumpet. Who will be able to find
the full complement of his own skeleton? The
agile one may make up his own deficiency
from the pick of the rest, but the slow moving
individual will be apt to miss it. l fear there
will be many misfits to the Celestial grave.
Who can tell whether one is entitled to adj.
mission if one is composed partly of some one
else2 The very thought is disagreeable and
perplexing.-A Panama Letter.

The Skull of a Cobra,

The skull of cobra lies before me. From
the tip of the snout to the back of the skull
the length is one and one-quarter inches.
The brain case is an ivory casket of great
solidity, but the jaw bones are loosely con-
nected, and during life are capable of good
deal of motion. The two side pieces of the
lower jaw are in the snake only united in
front by elastic tissue. Behind they do not
hinge on the brain case itself, but on long
suping ones which jut out at the back of the
skull, and these are capable Of motion out
ward, so as to widen the space between them
Not only are there teeth on the lower Jaw
and along the outer edges of the upper jaw
in the python's skull, but there are also extra
rows of teeth implanted in the bones which
lie one on each side of the palate. The teeth
are not for crushing or tearing or chewing
They all slope markedly backward and are
for holding the prey. Your finger Will slip
into the mouth of a small python easily
enough; but try and draw it out again-that
is a different matter. The curved teeth are
constructed to prevent that.-Murray' Mag
aZine.

4 Story for Bon Vivants.

One man invited another to a dinner at the
Manhattan club, of which both were mem
bers. It was agreed that the one who ar
rived first should order the meal. Some time
after the appointed hour the host of the occa
sion found his guest at table in a remote
corner of the cafe. "Have you orderedY
asked the host. YES" "Well, SO have II
was the answer. Both laughed, and then the
host with fash of the eye inquired what
soup his guest had ordered. The soup was
named and the host answered: Then we've
ordered the same dinner; any man with
proper notions of sequence in dining would
follow that soup with just what I've ordered 1"
The scientific diners compared menus and
found that the orders agreed in every par
ticular. Both dinners and all the wines or
dered were served.-New York Letter.

Window Ventilation.

To obtain ventilation by a window, with
out draft to strike person, direction to
the following effect has been constantly re-
peated by every hygienist and hygienic pub
LEGATION for number of years past without a
suspicion of its fallacy, apparently, on the
part Of any one of the public's instructors:
Fit strip of board into the window casing
at the bottom, under the lower sash, so as to
raise the sash. two or three inches. and the
thin spaces between the panes, where the
sashes lap over each other, will be open above
and below, affording egress and ingress to
the air in vertical directions, while the board
excludes a horizontal draft that would strike
person near the window"
The objection to this plan is that it is built
exactly wrong side up, in defiance of the law
of gravitation, and will not work. 1t con-
templates the exit of the warm and rarefied
air of the room downward through the colder
air between the sashes, and expects the still
colder and heavier air outside to climb up
ward through the lighter inclosed air and
tumble over the top of the sash into the
room. The amount of air exchanged be-
tween outside and inside in this way will be
hardly perceptible, unless a strong breeze
blows against the window
The way to get ventilation through this
interspace, and truly excellent way, is to
push up the lower sash to the top of the cas-
ing, and pull the upper sash down within
few inches of the sill, stopping the gap at the
bottom with the board above mentioned. The
outer air will then find downward entrance
and the lighter air within will escape up
