on the island that IS trying to prevent
her from having her rights, while Mr..
Shea claims she is entitled to all thd

before, and Mr.. Shea proposes to fight it

The Mound City'S Name.

The city having been named in honor
of St. Louis many suppose that the pro-
nnnciation should be "St. Looie," be-
cause that is the correct pronunciation
of the name of the saint. Louis is not
an English name, and Hume, in angli-
Ching it in his history, always writes it
"Lewis." All the French kings of the
name 'Louis" are "Lewis" in Hume's
writings. Those who say "St. Looie"
in speaking of the city may think it is
more honor to TIE sainted King of
France, for whom 1t was named, to use
the French pronunciation. On the othef
hand, our language is English, and it il
perfectly natural that there should b'
those who hold that the name of our
cities should be as nearly English az
possible. The est. Loole" pronuncia-
ton will never cause any one to forget
why the city was named st. Louis, and
if it is the most popular it should bs
generally accepted. Doubtless the ear:
liest settlers never said ''St. Loois," but
it is long time sioce they were here.--

Facts About the skeleton Industry

Paris is the head centre of the skele
ton trade. The mode Of preparation il
very delicate operation. The scalpe,
is first called into requisition to removt
the muscular tissues. It's work bein
done, the bones are boiled, being care
fully watched meanwhile that they may
not be overdone. After this caunibalis'
tic procedure they are bleached in tho
sun. Even then spots CT grease are sure
to appear when they are exposed to heat.
The French treat these with ether and
benzine, securing thereby a dazzling
whiteuess, which is distinguishing
mark of their skeletons. They are war
rauted never to turn yellow and to stand
the test of any climate. New York IN
midsummer is not too hot for them.
They are put together by master hand
A brass rod with all the proper curva'
lures support the spinal column. Deli
cate brass wires hold the ribs In place.
Hinges of the most perfect workmanship
give to the joints graceful and lltelike
movement. Cieverly concealed hooks
and eyes render dsjunction at pleasure
possible. The whole construction plainly
indicates the care and skill OF an artist
and connolsseur.
Domestic skeletons are generally the
work of amateurs. Janitors in medical
colleges rescue bones from the dissectiny
rooms and cure and articulate them.
They find purchasers among the students,
who on the completion OF their studies
resell the skeleton, if happily the market
is not glutted. A second hand skeleton
may thus be had at quite reasonable
figure-occasionably as low as Sl5.
The imported article, however, ranges
from $50 to S40O. The very high priced
ones are valued because of the preserva
ton of the nervous AMI circuatory sys-
TENS. Of course, they are beyond the
reach of modest purses, and, as taste
for medical and scientific research has
not yet developed among the millionaire',
very few $400 skeletons arc sold. They
are always a special order. A very fine
French skeleton may be had for Sl5o,
and that is as high as the general run OF
purchasers care to go.
Skulls, hands, and feet may be pur'
chased separately, but to obtain rib, an
arm, or a collar bone, the whole affair
must be bought. A skull aud cross
bones, suitable for decorative purposes,
cost but $40. Tne skull has but one
cut; it may be pretty, it is not artistic.
For $22 skull that will unhinge and
reveal its hidden contents is possible.
