Dead Mems Bones.

The most grewsome apartment in
America is probably the demonstration 8
room in the Flower hospital in New
York, with its fantastic decorations of
dead mems bones.
The name of the rooA is spelled above
the door in letters made of finger bones.
Upon the wall within appear in the
same grewsome lettering the names Of
DR.. Howard 8, Heilson and DR.. North
way Meyer, demonstrators. Besides
these legends sits grinning human
skull.
Crossing and recrossing the room
strings Of bones interlace. Ribs alter
nate with the slender bones of fingers
and toes. Up and down the walls, like
CHASTITY white serpents, crawl coils Of
vertebre. Arm and leg bones with
highly polished surfaces are hung on
the cupboard doors.
Everywhere the eye turns in this
curious charnel house symbols Of NOR
tality start into relief. But it is on the
large table against the south wall that
death veritably sits enthroned. In the
middle, heaped into mound, bones
from all parts Of the human frame are
surmounted by skull. Here hand,
there crippled foot, cranium hol-
lowed into drinking cup-oddities Of
all grisly shapes surround the mound.
In a chair to the right sits skeleton
In leisurely attitude, leaning one arm
upon the table as he watches the skele-
tons over which the sunlight dances.

A Household Hint.

Don't throw away the trimmings
from your new tablecloths. Those
long linen threads you will need when
your tablecloth begins to break a little.
With them you can prolong it's span Of
life many days. Also try in ironing
your tablecloths to have them folded
in different ways to vary the creases
80 that the wear will not come always
in the same place.

highest antcipations for success. There
were plenty of ducks, and there is little
doubt that had decent weather prevailed
there would have been many more good
ducks killed Friday than on Wednesday.
Most OF the sneakboat gunners were
shooting, and killing some ducks, for rough
weather does not prevent this sort Of shoot
ing, unless it is too bad. Many of them,
however, found it so disagreeable that they
came in at noon. On the first day the
blackheads were noticeably scarce, and
very few were killed. They we're reported
plentiful on the flats Friday, and it is prob
able, with good weather, there will be
some good sport.
