first and to whom they belonged in lifss

across the river from st. Joseph. He
was in bad health and neededE money.
In fact, he had to have moE1ey to keen
up his life insurance and there had
been partial failure of croR1s that year.
The farmer knew the endl of his life
was not far off and he must have
money at once to pay up his, life insur-
ance. He had wife and children and
he woulG not mortgage the farm.
One day he came to the City and said
to the physician, whom heS knew very

for my skeleton? 1t was a, startling
proposition at first, and the fDhysician
shrank from making such Purchase.

situation it did not have suchu bad

physician paid for the skeleton of the
living man. The amount paid was
more than enough, the farmer S aid, to
pay for the life insurance as longI as he
would need it, He lived longer than he
expected, however, and came back
again to see the physician. He had
spent part of the money for other puF-
poses, and another payment was almost
due on the life insurance. II am stil}

New York Servant Revenges Herself

The New York servant has found a
way of revenging herself upon an un-

keep a servant for a few days. The
scheme is simple. The departing SER

them do, should want to have a word
to say to the next servant that comes.

where the new one will find it.. One wo-
man told me that on the wall at the
head of her servants bee she found a
penciled line, "The misttess here has

Use of Shrubbery+a and Vines.

There is in motion now a consider
able revival of landscape gardening
in America. 1t is finding it's greatest
expression in the institution of the
formal garden, modelled after those of
Italy and France. Though the formal
garden is never likely to flourish much
here, the movement will accomplish
much if it calls general attention to the
fact that much beauty can be gained
at comparatively small expense in the
