"Once upon time" is decidedly mot

tecnth century. Blucbeard and his
paltry assortment of bones would
scarcely attract passing attention in Il

rclcgatcs to the shades its osscous pred

OF artistic finish and general makeup
the world has never known it's equal
Within gunshot of the Fifth Avenue
MOTEL there is a closet which contains n
skeleton. No, n dozen of them, that are
regarded us objects of beauty by those
who know how to appreciate them
Not every one does.
This grim asscmblagc represents Il
company of dcfunct Frenchmcn Each
bears the stamp-not of it's maker nor
yet of its original posscssor-but of its
articulator. 1t is IL guarantee of it's
gcnuircncss and durability.
Only Il medical student, a profession
al nrticulator or grave digger enjoys
to the fullest extent Il peep into this
grcwsomc retreat. One of the venti-
lated gentlemen is seemingly minus
legs The custodian explains that they
arc only temporarily detached and
points them out snugly resting in cor

ton. Another has been obliged to sacri-
flee his head to space. 1t is behind him
on the shelf. A figure carefully en-
vcloped in brown paper has the appear

reality he is Il very costly specimen and
is carefully guarded from exposure

the closet" they will find ready pur-
chasers, although they are really ex-
pensive luxuries, owing to the tariff.
10 protect the home skeleton industry
against foreign competition an import
tax of from thirty-five to fifty per
cent. has been imposed Despite this
fact domestic skeletons are not in de-
mand, and the regular dealers do not
carry them in stock
French skeletons are the finest in the
market and Paris is the head center of
the trade.
1t is not that a Frenchman's bones
are of such superior quality 1t is the
other Frenchman that puts them in
shape that gives them their great value.
The mode of preparation is very
delicate operation. The scalpel is first
called into requisition to remove the
muscular tissues. Its work being done
the bones are boiled, being carefully
watched meanwhile that they may not
be ovcrdone. After this cannibalistic
procedure they are bleached in the sun.
Even then spots of grease are sure to
appear when they are exposed to heat.
The French treat these with ether and
benzine. securing thereby n dazzling
whitencss, which is distinguishing
mark of their skeletons. They are war
ranted never to turn yellow and to
stand the test of any climate New
York n midsummer is not too hot for
them.
They are put together by master
hand. A brass rod with all the proper
curvatures supports the spinal column.
Delicate brass wires hold the ribs in
place. Hinges of the most perfect work
manship give to the joints n graceful
and lifelike movement Clcverly con-
cealcd hooks and eyes render disjunc-
ton at pleasure possible. The whole
construction plainly indicates the care
and skill of an artist and n connosscur.
Domestic skeletons are generally the
work of amateurs. Janitors in medical
colleges rescue bones from the dissect-
ing rooms and cure and articulatc them
They find purchasers among the stu
dents, who on the completion of their
studies resell the skeleton. if happily
the narl,ct is not glrtted. A second
hamd s.;elc.on may thus be had al quite
O reasonable figure occasionally as low
rs 30.
