THEIR BONES co HOME.
Iaveiy Trade in the shipment OF Dead
Chiuamen.

The bones of every Chinaman who
dies in this country are sent back TO
the celestial empire for interment, says
the New York World. They are shipped
in large boxes from San Francisco I'M
der the designation of "flsh-bone' at
the rate of $40 n ton. This ~fsh-bone
fiction Is in order to evade the rule
of the steamship companies, which
charge full passenger rates for the
TRANSFORMATION of dead bodies. Nearly
every Chinaman who comes here Is
under the care of the Six Companies.
They sign a contract guaranteeing to
return the bones of the dead for burial
with those of their ancestors. Tn
| every steamer leaving San Francisco
there are invalid Chinese Storage
passengers who hope TO live until they
| reach their native country. An agree
ment exists between the Six Cotnpa-
MES and the steamship managers which
forbids the burial of these Cinnamon
should they die at sea and the SIX
Companies furnish collins of the pecu-
liar Chinese pattern for use In such
emergencies. When a Chinaman dies
at sea his body Is embalmcd, placed In
4 sealed coffin and lowered into the
hold. The expense is paid by the
other Chinese passengers and stewards
of the ship. all of whom belong to that
race. When the ship reaches Hong
Kong the collins are delivered to the
Tung Wah hospital, which gives them
to the surviving friends in China.
Every Chinaman among us is supposed
to be registered at the Tung Wah hos
pital and with the Six Companies ~
San Francisco.

COlta nS Living HICfurea.

There was quite a time over at the
Hotel North. in Chicago. where the
Colts and their families were domici!ei

living pictures-with drapery-be
staged, and n stage was accordingly
built In the big parlor. half a dozen ex-
tension tables standing side by side
furnishing the material. The pictures
were really very good. and some OF
them quite original. Beauty and the
Beast with Bill I.ange for the beast,
was a hit. Cupid and Psyche" with
Kittridge for Cupid and Mccormick
for Psyche, was great, and The Noble
Fireman. with Decker for the ladder.
Briggs for the rescued maiden, Eyeritt
as the noble fire laddie and Donahue
as the faithful dog, was the triumph OF
the evening. The catastrophe came
about 10 O'Clock. The picture on tar
was Romeo and Juliet" and a pretty
girl who boards at the hotel was Juliet
Griffith and Dahlen had a dispute as to
Romeo, Dahlen claiming that Griff was
bowlegged and Griff insisting that q
fat, pudgy Dutchman would look ride

awarded the honor, and posed on 8

Is like one Of those mountains in India,

descending on its slopes through all

visitor will find all the reflnements and
latest innovations OF our b%reathless
time. Two hours by rail from Buda-
Pesth. the calm and simplicity Of pre-
renaissance times will embrace him In
one of the old manors, built mostly by
architects or in the style of the Italian
Quattrocento, with vaulted rooms, en-

the breezy shade of poplars and beech

gives rise to that most exquisite of
things, to types. For the poet, the art

types full Of rugged ipse, Hungary is
the land. But for the obstacle OF the
languages, Hungary would long ago

Progressive Hammocs Parties.

A progressive hammock party Is
something new At one recently given
in a smaller Wisconsin city each guest
upon arrival was presented with n tiny
half square of cardboard on which was
written one-half of some chosen sub
ject. Partners were found by match
ing these cards, the man having tho lat
ter half Of the subject being privileged
to sit for five minutes with the glrl
who held the first part of the subject.
The lawn presented a very pretty pic
ture, hung as 1t was with Chinese Ian
terms and hammocks and having rugs
spread over the grass. Over each ham
mock hung n cardboard each bearing a
line. The couple whose card bore the
same inscription rs that above the
hammock occupied that particular one.
Among the subjects We're: An Ideal
Boy, An Ideal Girl, Love Spoons anG
Chaperons. Each man conversed for
five minutes upon one subject, and then
progressed to the mex hammock where
conversation upon another topic was
renewed. After each hammock had
been visited the girls voted as to which
man had entertained them in the hes,
Kramer, and he won the prize.

How n JcweIer Cleans Jewels.

First have your little box Of jewelers.
sawdust. To clean the jewels some
warm water, CASTLE soap and a loft
brush are necessary. A few drops of
ammonia In the water will be a help.
Scrub them very gently with the brush
and q little soap. The brush will re-
move the dirt under the stones very
easily. Rinse well with hot water, dry
In q towel and put in your sawdust till
needed. The latter will absorb all mois-
lure that Is left, and, when shaken off
will leave the gems very brilliant. Put
them into it each time after wearing.
They will keep clean for a long time,
as the sawdust removes particles of
dirt. CASTLE soap contains less grease
than any other kind: hence its use foy
