chandelier constructed entirely of human
bones The church in which this remark
able object Is suspended Is decorated from
the floor to the ceiling with the blanched
bones of human bodies Garlands of bones
stretch across the walls and hang from the
ceiling. Pyramids, topped with golden
crowns, are artistically reared from the
ground with these whitcned remains Of the
dead. The affairs are literally covered with
skulls, among which are hundreds of those
which had been pierced by bullets or
crushed by murderous blows from swords
and other weapons, denoting that these
grim relics Of humanity have been gath

Tradition says that these piles of human
bones were gathered by a blind friar of the
Cistcrcan order who stored them in cor

changing into their original elements, a
man named Rint devoted himself 10 the
task Of cleaning and arranging them in

How to handle Alfalfa.

allow-we stack the alfalfa that grows
on about 100 acres. We never use salt
or lime in the stack When the weather
j. clear there is no trouble in curing
the hay so that il is of a fresh green
color The alfalfa makes the best feed
for milk COWS when it il cut in early
bloom. For horses many wish it to
grow little longer. We generally raks
our alfalfa into rows the second day
after it is cut and stack the fourth da,
when the weather is bright and drying
The little handling helps retain the
leaves on tho stems. Treated in this
way, it comes out Of the stack bright
