Utllize tho Homes.

Converting the bones about the
farm into soluble fertilizer is another
of the small economies that it would
be well for every farmer to. heed.
Very often good many bones of ami
mails that have died upon the farm
might be collected, if farmers would
give attention to such things; and
quite q lot might be saved in the kit
chen in the course of few months.
Instead of being thrown away to be
carried off by worthless dogs or left
to rot in the forest, all these bones
ought to be collected and converted
into good phosphate by the farmer.
A bushel or two of bones, packed
down in strong wood ashes, and kept
wet, but not wet enough to drip, will
make a nice lot Of fertilizer in a few
weeks time.
A kerosene barrel is q good thing to
pack them in: First layer of ashes
made wet, then layer of bones, and
next another course of ashes, and so
on, until the cask is almost full
Leave space enough at top to hold q
bucketful of water, and keep the mass
wet. If you fear your ashes are not
very strong. add some of the powdered
concentrated lye from time to time.
Large bones should be broken small,
but all small or soft bones will soon
yield to this treatment. In few
weeks turn the mass out on a. floor,
and with hoe or maui crush the
bones to powder, and you have as
good phosphate as the most that you
buy and at far less cost. -:
Superphosphate is made from bones
treated with sulphurie acid, which re-
duces them in few hours. But the
acid is risky article to handle, and
the farmer with only a small parcel of
bones had better go slow and safe
with ashes. It will pay to utilize
bones in this way. Don't let. bones
lie about in the woods where dead
animals were left, but gather them
up and reduce them to fertilizer. Save
all the bones from the kitchen, and
treat them likewise.

A BREEZY TALK ON PHYSIOLOGY.
The Wonders Of Human Anatomy Told
In Piciuresaue Lauguage.

The Wonders Of Human Anatomy Told
in Picturesque Language.
Ask men at random and you will be
amazed at their ignorance of human
anatomy. This was amusingly illus
trated few nights ago at birthday
party given in a residence in Forty
ninth street, near Fifth avenue, writes
Victor Smith, in the New York Press.
Several hundred people were present;
and among the amusements was a
series of questions that physician
propounded. Old and young got ludi-
crously tangled up on the rib inquisi.
ton, and it is a solemn fact that q
majority of the guests thought man
had more ribs on one side than on
the other, the missing constituent of
the thoracic wall being attributed to
Mother Eve. Only a dozen or so
replied that man had the same mum.
Der as woman. What that number is
less than ten correctly stated.
"Who was the first artisan?" was
one O" the questions, and when every
body had given it up the answer was,
"God, because He took one of Adams
ribs and fashioned it into woman"
As a matter of fact each sex has, nor
mally, "a ribs, IL on side. Many
men and women have managed to e1-
ist healthily with II on side, while
others have been obliged to struggle
along with 13. An extra floating rib
or two is small matter. Ten are
known to be false.
Whenever the average man has q
pain in the small of his back he says
he is afflicted with kidney trouble,
whereat doctors smile. He has a little
lumbago. When he has stitch in
his side he is cock sure his liver is in
a bad way. forgetting that indispeusa-
ble digestive organ is up in the thor

who possess but one lung and have
floating kidney, q severed vermiform
appendix, shifted pancreas, a spliced
transverse colon, a punctured peri
cardium or an artificial mucous mem
brane. Few of US remain whole and
sound, though we may begin life in

Aruinaldo Once a Prisoner.

There is a story in circulation
among some of the army officers who
have just returned to Washington
from Manila that the army actually
captured Aguinaldo in Cavite Pro-
vince, put him in Jail for Is days as a
suspicious Amigo and then released
him only to hear of his identity after
he had gotten away. The ability of
the Philippine leader to make up as q
Chinaman, or "Chino," as they are
called in the Philippines, is said to
be remarkable, and only a fellow ma
tive is able to penetrate such q dis

1T does sound rather nonsense,
said Miss Middleton, numerically.
It is not clear why maidens at these
critical times are so much more apt to
keep their heads than are men. Mr..
Travers thought it hard dispensa-
ton of nature, and sought refuge
from his distraction by jogging the
canoe.
"Aren't We shaking terribly?" asked
Miss Middleton.
''Not at ALL" he answered.
"Csnoes seem very frail," she ex-
planned.
"a girl knew" said Mr.. Travers,
thoughtfully, used to tell me that
she was quite nervous until she had
tried a canoe, but in the end she
thought otherwise. She even wanted
to get engaged in a canoe"
''Did you crafty her wish, " asked
Miss Middleton, with rush of dig
nifty.
THE girl was my mother, you
Know" said Mr.. Travers, scenting

hers. She was wondering how I should
some day"
Eyes, yes-don't you think we
ought to be going back?" asked Miss
Middle on.
"T should like to know your opinion
of boat as popping place." he per-
sisted.
Miss Middleton supposed that a
square, solid sort of boat in the style
of Noah's ark-guaranteed not to up
set-might not be unsuitable.
'tBut would you not approve OF a
conoe?" he asked.
':It would rock so terribly" she
said.
"Why should it rock?"
Suppose, she said, 'the man
wanted to go down on his kuees-just
to emphasize his wishes-that would
set it rolling to begin with"
Mr.. Travers was willing to enter.
tain that supposition.
''Then suppose the girl said 'No?'"
Mr.. Travers preferred not to sup
pose anything unpleasant
'Still, if she did," said Miss Mid
dleton, "the man would start mp in a.
very bad temper and begin stamping
about"
MI. Travers was positive that no
man world be guilty of such conduct.
Miss Middleton failed to see how Mr..
Travers could answer for men in gen.
eal Nh. Travers admitted that he,
was thinking of a particular case,
which caused Miss Middleton to 60 on
hastily:
''Then, again, if the girl didn't say
No. she would probably expect"
"What?" asked MI. Travers.

said, MI. Travecs, and the rolling con-
tinued.
When some time later the canoe
returned to the meadow from which it
had started, the voyagers were grieved
to perceive the tea was already almost
finished. The others observed that
punctuality was particularly important
at picnic. Mr.. Congreve especially
insisted on this.
''You shouldn't have been making
daisy chains, Congreve, said Mr..
Travers, irrelevantly.
''What does he mean?" Mr.. Con-
greve appealed to Miss Middleton for
q solution.
''Mr. Travers has also been making
daisy chains" she said. The King.

Dwarf fruit trees are stated to have
certain advantages over high trees:

of vegetables and flowers near them
can be accomplished without fear OF
shade; (3) they produce beautiful and
excellent fruits; a. they are an orna-

have the advantage of resisting the
winds of autumn which cause the
fruit of high trees to fall before ma

How u LOw-Stxed Lawyer Impressed
Tlmid servant with His
Importance.

The following story is attributed to Sen,
ator Vest, says the Chicago Tribune:
Before the war there was lawyer in
independence, Mo-, who was the counterpart
in appearance Of the pictures of Pickwick.
He was as fussy in his manner as hen with
brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke
in the door of residence by his vigorous
use of the knocker. The disturbance was
answered by darby, who was frightened
out of his boots as he opened the door.
where's your master!' Numbered the law
yer, and before the darby could answer the
lawyer repeated his question. Then the
darby replied that he was not in.
"1 suppose not thundered the lawyer
again. We'll, mind you, now, mind you,
when he comes you tell him want to see
him-want to see him at once. Understand!
Tell him j. Brown Hovey, attorney at law,
wants to see him at once, at once.
with that Mr.. Hovey turned and disap'
peared in futter. When the master came
he asked his servant if anyone had called.
The darky was still in his fright, and with
his teeth chattering he replied:
eyes, sab, dar was leetle, funny-look:
ing name come, an he said dat | was, to tell
you dat Brown J. Hovey, de eternal Lord,
want ter see you right away"

ing a nod from his brother, he went

remarks; indeed he had caught only

from anv row between his mother and
father.

the iron door, the signal agreed on
between him and the jaier to indicate
