are genuine skeletons Of inhabitants of
far away countries. Therefore, they OBJ
tain bodies of such persons and after
having them embalmed, send them to
London agents of the skeleton factory,
who at once see to it that the desire Of
the shipper is carried out. Many such
skeletons are to be seen to-day in the
anthropological museums in different
parts of the world.
| 1t takes twelve months to put the hui
man bones in proper condition for wiring.
The first step, after the subject reaches
the factory, is to cleanse the bones Of the
flesh. The subjects are therefore placed
in tanks filled with water and picnic
acid. The next process is that of boil
ing in strong soda water, after which the
subject is consigned to tank. When the
bones have been thoroughly cleansed,
they are turned over to skilled anatomists
who wires them together so strongly that
each is sure to retain its proper place.
1t is not always the case that the bones
are wired together by the anatomists as
soon as they are in proper condition. A
| visit l paid to the stock rooms of the
factory indicated that. There were
| shelves upon shelves on which were ar
ranged with grewsome regularity skulls
that seemed to represent every type Of
humanity that has ever existed. Some
of them had been, for one reason or an
other, broken into pieces and were held
| in proper semblance by fine brass wires
Beneath these shelves ranging upward
from the floor to a height of about four
feet, were huge drawers filled with bones
Of every description, although they were
not fixed together, but the different sorts
scrupuously kept by themselves. There
were vast heaps of ribs and thighbones.
Every one of the bones in these drawers
was lettered and numbered, SO that when
the ANTAGONISTS desired to wire skeleton

USES OF THE LEMON.
(From the Boston Traveller

VI ioiii iliC l'ootou lAN'NSlNAJ
Juice of the lemon is one of the best
and safest drinks for any person, wheth-
er in health or not. 1t is suitable for all
stomach diseases, liver complaint, intla-
nation of the bowels and fevers.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers.
1t will alleviate and finally cure coughs
and colds, and heal diseased lungs, If
taken hot. Its uses are manifold, and the
more we employ it internally, the better
we shall find ourselves. Lemon juice
is anti-febdile, etc. A doctor in Rome
is trying it experimentally in malarial
fever with great success, and thinks it
will in time supersede quinine.
