A skeleton In school.
Detroit Free Press.


There is 3 fashionable school in this city
where young ladies have a class in phys
iology. A few days ago one of the teachers
entered the schoolroom during the class
hour and said TO the principal:
"He has come"
"Bring him in. was the answer.
There was a general commotion in the
schoolroom, and the girls looked at each
other with much interest The advent of
a masculine visitor was something un-
usual.
Soon the teacher returned, CARRYING in
her arms something wrapped in a white
cloth. She unfolded the package. which
was quite bulky, and out sprang large
skeleton, neatly articulated.
There was a murmur of surprise and 4
few suppressed screams. but one jolly girl,
who expects 10 write NJ. ID. after her name,
exclaimed:
Isn't he lust lovely ?"

WASHINGTON CRY. June l9-The census
office has in press and will shortly publish
for distribution an elaborate report on the
lumber production and allied industries Of

bulletin shows the aggregate increase Of

report of 1880. to be $3.50 per cent. in guam
tity and 1902 per cent in value. The in
crease in the number of hands employed is
1850 per cent, and in the total amount Of
wages l4i.26 per cent. According 10 the
tenth census (SS0l the amount of capital
invested in milling industries in Miehi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota was S8yy-
S55,6S2. The capital at the eleventh census
(iS90l is S223, 356, COZ, an increase q
$751;, 5S0,975. This apparent enormous in
crease appears due to radical change n
the form of inquiry respecting all
branches. 1t is shown from returns Of in.
dividual manufacturers that.their present
holdings of standing timber in this group
OF lands are only sufficient to supply them
for about five years at the present rate of

Story Of the Eminent Scnlpt0r's

Early Evidences OF His Precocity-A Novel
Hand Organ Cause of His Loss of Hear
ing and Speech.

The Ball Pitcher" Douglas Tildep. the
deaf mute scuiptor's remarkable statue, is p
curious likeness of himself, says CORE
spondent of The CALI.
1t has been said that artists paint them
selves and it is certainly true that young
Tilden has sculptured himself
Looking upon this beautiful. piece of art
the other day was forcibly reminded of my
first acquaintance with the young artist. He
was 3A years old. but even then he fore
Swallowed the inventive faculty which has
since made him famous and his fond mother
proudly told me that her handsome boy was
Il genius.
He was certainly fine looking little fell
low large for his age, as upright as dart
with beautiful head and frank manly face
lie was not at all bashful and had a courte-
Gus charming way of explaining all the Won
ders oil his toys in broken baby vocabulary
While | sat chatting with his young
mother. Douglas and his brother, year
older, wandered away. An hour had
elapsed, when we were startled by the
most heart-rending sounds. We opened the
window and saw the two boys approaching.
apparently with musical instruments.
Charlie, the older, was playing upon some
kind OF wind instrument, and Douglas
sang as he turned the handle Of hand
organ. But the startling parg of the per
fornance was as yet unexplained. The
song sung by Douglas was very sweet, and
seemed to be in a foreign language; but his
mother translated the words, iii mouts, we
willis" into "Chime on, sweet bells" We
gaZed anxiOusly about, to see whence the
narrowing, soul-curdling sounds came, and
as they certainly emanated from the nand-
organ we stepped out on the piazza and in
sisted upon an investigation, which was
stOutly resisted for some time by the val0r-
Gus organ-grlnder, but at last he allowed us
to lift the instrument from his shoulders;
and on opening it the pet cat bounded wildly
forth and scurried away.
Douglas indignantly stamped his foot,
and with blazing eyes turned TO his mother
and said: Naughty mamma, now my
moogee'S (music) gone"
We examined The hand-organ and found
that the ingenious little fellow had fastened
q lid with leather hinges ona box and bored
a hole in one end through which he had
forced the cats tail. The grinding OF this
impIoviSed handle sufficiently accounted ior
the dismal sounds we had heard.
A few months later this promising child
was stricken with scarlet fever in its most
malignant form. After terrible illness he
recovered, but the sweet voice was hushed
forever. and no sounds of music can again
greet his ear until he listens TO the chant of
the heavenly choir
