AN ESSAY ON BONES.
The Remarkable Composition of an
 American schoolboy.

The Remsrksble CoDsposition of an
 American schoolboy.
 Bones are the framework of the body. If had no bones in me, should not have so much motion, and grandmoth- CT would be glad. but 1 like to have motion Bones give me motion be- cause they are something hard for mo- ton to cling to. If had no bones. my brains. lungs. heart and large blood vessels would be lying around in me and might get hurted, but now the homes get hurted, but not much unless it is hard hit
 If my bones were burned I should be brittle, because it would take the an- imal out of me. If were soaked in acid I should be linn Der. Teacher showed us a bone that had been soaked 1 could bend it easily. would rather be soaked than burned. Some of my bones don't grow close to my body, snug, like the branches of a tree. and I am glad they don't, for if they did could not play leap-frog and other nice games l know.
 The reason they don't grow snug to my body is because they have joints. Joints is good things to have in bones There are two kinds The ball and socket, like my shoulder, is best. Teacher showed it to- me, only it was the thigh bone of an OK. One end was round. smooth and whstish That is the ball end. The other end was hol- lowed in deep. Tbat is the socket. and it oils itself It is the only machine that oils itself
 Another joint is the hinge joint, like my elbow. IL swings back and forth and oils itself It never creaks like the schoolroom door. There is another joint that don't seem like joint. That is in the skull It don't have no motion
 All my bones put together in their right places make skeleton. If leave any out or put any in their wrong places, it amt no skeleton. Cripples and deformed people don't have no skeletons Some animals have their skeletons on their outside l am glad l ain't them animals: for my skeleton. like it is on the chart. would not look well on my outside.

TIE amour. of duties paid on lead

TIE amour: of duties paid on lead ore imported into the United States at the port of Fl Paso amounts to $50, 900 per month. This is just the amount that the miners of the southwest are robbed of by Uncle Sam's tom fools, who parade under the banner of pro lection. The smelling men who work this imported ore up with the dry ores, charge the producers of the latter the full amount of S50,O00 per month as an offset! in the shape of working charges against the $50, 900 they pay into Uncle Sam's coffers, and the robbery still goes on.

THE Wilcox Stockman does not comprehend how the board of super yisors could let the contract for print ing to the Daily PRosPEcToR when the bid of the Weekly Stockman was lower. In order not to have the action of the board misunderstood, the PRosPEcToR will quote from the print ing law passed by the last legislature, which will no doubt be sufficient evil dence to the Stockman and cause it to correct false impression that an item in its issue of today will create among its subscribers. Sec. 3, Ac. s3 reads:
 All advertisements, notices, procla- nations, proceedings of the Board Of Supervisors, and all other public ad- vertisements shall be given to daily paper or papers. if such be published within the county in which said ad- vertisements, proclsmations. etc, are published, and if no such daily news paper or papers be published within such county, then all such advertise ments, notices, proclamations, shall be given to 2 weekly paper within such county.
 The bids of weekly papers were not under the law to be considered while a bid by a daily parsr was the only bid on which the boafa could act. We are not exenerating the PRosrBcToR for taking all the law allows, but sim ply exonersting the board for follow ing the law.

Resdx-M.de Cloth.s.

In spite of the marked improvement in the method of cutting ready-made clothes, men above six feet in height still find it exceedingly difficult to be fitted in made-up garments. There are plenty of coats and trousers for men with abnormal abdomens, but very few coats and trousers for men with un- usually long legs and arms. The shirt makers pay no heed to any measure ment save that of the neck, and the six footer whose neck measurement is be- low sixteen inches finds the sleeves of the ready-made shirt nearly half way to his elbows Shoemahers do better. A man wearing a shoe anywhere below eleven may be fitted at almost any price. The cheapest shoes, though run ming as high as twelve, are nearly all too broad for slender feet

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
How a Working Woman Might Find Em-
plOyment.

How a Working Woman Might Find Em-
plOyment.
One of the most practical suggestions
for service is that of the woman who
comes in to work "by the day." There
is very much more in this idea of daily
service or of employing a woman who,
in common parlance, does days work, 4"
than has ever been fully developed.
Washing and scrubbing are, at present,
the principal duties Of such workers.
But these, although they represent the
hardest labor, cover only small part
Of the daily housework.
The sweeping and busting, the sew
ing, the cooking, the dish-washing, the
clearing up"-most interminable of
tasks-the mending and the cham
Der work-all these come into the
home life and into the line OF q
housekeeper's duties. All these have to
be overlooked. Somebody has to see
that they are well done, often to do
them. And the time and the patience
and the strength which into those 'lit-
tie things" nobody but the woman who
does them knows.
Darning stockings, with the attend
ant horrors Of mending and sewing on
Of buttons, represents a batch of work
which comes regularly every week to be
done, and is sore trial to the woman
who longs for the time it takes that
she may give it to better things. Yet
she knows these tasks are necessary,
and that they must be accomplished for
the comfort and well-being of the fami-
ly in her charge.
Now there must surely be plenty Of
women who can not do finished or
high-class work, yet to whom mending
and stocking-darning, clearing up of
rooms and busting, would be light and
agreeable work, women who, having
ample time, would be willing 70 do
such important yet trivial house. work
for the small sum Of money the service
is worth. They need not be highly
educated or very young women; they
need only be willing, quick, and ready
to do well any and every trihe which
comes up for somebody to do. There
are certainly plenty of places waiting
for just such workers.
We hear much Of the women who are
starving in making shirts at three
cents apiece, and trousers at five cents
a pair. The tales are too well au-
thenticated to be doubted. But surely
the work above suggested would be
easier, pleasanter, and more profitable
to the women who are keeping soul
and body together on such a pittance
as that-Harper's Bazar.
