PRICES FOR SKELETONS.
Latest Quotations from the European
 Markets for Teeth

Palper Europe has caused an out cry from new line of American in- dustry, says the Philadelphia Times. American articulaters of skeletons are up in arms against the importation of the pauper skeletons Of Europe. Ma tive bones, in consequence Of recent importations, are quiet and depressed, while the demand is for the products of the French and German markets. First-class American skeletons are drug in the market at SS012.50. while the Gallic or Teutonic article, not one whit more seryieeable, brings a fancy price. A recent Frenehman. who hap pened to depart this life with full set of teeth, is offered at S35, ordinarily imported skeletons going from $20 to S27.50, according to the number of teeth they were shy. Purchasers can, not be fooled by false teeth. The only superiority in the foreign article is in the matter of complexion Frenchmen and Germans who have shed all of themselves except their bones bleach better, or their survivors are able to bleach them better. In the matter of articulation the American workman is perhaps the superior of the European artist, but he cannot get in the tints and the refreshing shades of complex ion so much admired by skeleton ex- perts, or those who desire such articles for household ornamentation. Skulls are $2.50@325, varying according to size and the skill displayed in prepara- tion. A skull that was prepared for the market with brick is not in as much favor as one that found it's way in by the natural channels. The de- mand for pelvises is light, at S1400 265; tibia, in slight call at 45@55c. Feet articulated are quoted: Lefts, $2@275; rights. $2.1o02.S5; west sides (by weight only), s4.30 Hands are slow and generally unsatisfactory at S1@450, although fancy price, $6S.40, was paid for one recently just before the close of the market, or rather an inspection was secured of it for that sum- Wooden legs are heavy and slow but continue moving up and down a peg. In teeth it's the same old grind Full sets are moving up and down at S3@125; bicuspids, by the brace, are steady at $202.75; molars, dull at 75c CSC. Wisdom are dear.

NOT BY DEPUTY.
Queen Victoria Is Said to Be Her Own
 Housekeeper.


 I am sure very many of my readers, writes E. M. Jessop in the August Pail Mall Magazine, will be glad to hear that, notwithstanding the enormous amount of business with which she has to deal, the queen is to a large ex- tent her own housekeeper The first thing every morning a paper of sugges- tions from the clerk of the kitchen is placed before her, from which in her own hand she orders the menus of the day, both for herself and such of her grandchildren as may be with her. These menus are at once sent to the kitchens, gardens and other depart ments concerned, to obtain the viands required and their contents duly en- tered, together with the quantities Of materials used, in the books which are kept in the royal kitchen. The queens chef receives salary eS 500 pounds per annum, and has as satellites four mas ter cooks, two roasting cooks, six ap- prentices and six kitchen maids besides pantry men and other lesser lights. In addition to the great kitchen at Wind sor there are the greenroom for veget ables, and the confectionery and pas try kitchen. This last is a most impor- tant department, controlled by con- fectioner with six assistants and fitted up in the most complete manner All her majesty's favorite cakes, biscuits, pastry, etc, are made here and sent by special messengers several times a week to whichever of her residences the court may be staying at. All stores at Windsor are under proper su- pervision, no materials being served out without proper requisition signed by the head of the department con- cerned. Not a bag of dog biscuits can even be ordered for the kennels unless on the proper printed form. In fact the whole vast establishment is practi- cally as methodically conducted as any great London business. This method, which was evolved by her majesty and the late prince consort out of the chaos which descended from the days of George ", entirely does away with waste, extravaganza and the abomina- bls perquisite system, and moreover it enables her majesty to exercise that wise control over her finances which ena lies her to keep the grandest es- taolishment on relatively the smallest royal income in Europe.

Dogs Battle with s Cactus.

Otto Kleemapn. who lives on Bel mont street, recently acquired heau- tiful cactus, which he established in his household, unmindful of the fact that his dog held the opinion that his master should have no other pets be- fore him. Now he has no cactus and the deje ted semblanee of dog. The little animal espied the plant soon after ito arrival, and issued challenge. Tn default of acceptance. he gave battle, but retired at the first shock to recon slider. The enemy had more teeth thar a battalion of bull terriers, and all of them were newly sharpened. He was no quitter, however, and with rising an- ger he renewed the attack. This time his opponent came down, landing on him heavily, and with the touch of q barb-wire fence. The two rolled over and over in a death em brace, and the cactus was finally vanquished, torn in- to shreds and scattered about the room. But it was costly victory. The con- queror is punctured in more places than his owner can count. He may live to fight another day, but it will not be with caetus.-Oregenian

A Novel Use of the Bicycle.

There was novel use of the bicycle at the recent show of the Royal Ag- ricultural society i'll Sydney. The com pany which has acquired the patent rights in the sheep-shearing machine invented by the late MT. Fred Yorke Wolseley, the Australian brother of the commander-in -chief, showed a number of these machines worked by motive power supplied by a cyclist. The driv- ing wheel of the bicycle was connect ed with small rubber wheel fixed on 9 spindle, to which were attached the flexible shaft and shear of the Wolse- ley machine Each sheep was relieved of it's wool coat in four or five minutes.

PREJUDICE MADE PROFITABLE.
Superstition Against the Opal Was Mere
 ly a Jewellers Fiction

ooPSASsASAoh HikiG stisis " Us NIGEt-
 ly 3 Jewellers Fiction.
 It is only within q few years that the fashionable women of Chicago could be induced to wear opals, although they are among the rarest and most beauti- ful of gems. But now the opal, long tabooed because of it's supposed un- lucky qualities, is reported by dealers in gems to be once more selling we'll. With this information comes what purports to be the true story of how so beautiful stone cams by its bad Dame.
 It seems, according t. the story. that a Belgian jeweler, finding a great de- mand for opals in Brussels, sent one of his salesmen to London to purchase a supply. On arriving there this emissary found to his ehagrin that the object of his quest was the most oopu- lar gem in the English capital, and that it's price was proportionately large. Forthwith he conceived the story that opals bring bad luck. He circulated this story diligently, with the surprising result that the much sought stones came to be sedulously St'l.ted, Gnd that their price rapidly declined. In the course of two months opals were selling in London for one third of the price previously asked for them, and the astute Belgian prompt ly bought up all there were offered for sale; in fact, all the opals that were to be had. Before the superstition he had started had time to reach the con- tinent of Europe, he had delivered the jewels to his chief, and the firm had placed them upon the market and reaped mammoth profit on the trans action
 The belief in the ill-starred fortune of an opal's owner grew greatly and brought fruit a hundredfold. For twenty-five years past the stone has been almost unsalable, in spite of it's beauty. Now someone has unearthed, or more probably invented the story of the Belgian speculator, and the pendu- lum of popular sentiment has begun to swing in the opposite direction.

FILLING UP SIBERIA.
By This Method Russia Cuts Down Her
 Great Surplus.


 Since the commencement of the Trans-Siberian railway immigration to Siberia has developed with enormous strides, says the London Leader. Be tween 1882 and 1885 only 650,000 per- sons entered the country, viz, 50,909 every year In 1896 the numbers sud- denly sprung up to 203 ,000; in 1898 they reached 205,000 The immigra- ton is conducted by committee of officials, whose members portion out the land through which the new rail- way runs. Up to the present moment 15,000 ,000 acres have been occupied, and this comprises all the available agricultural land. But, notWithstand- ing, the Russian government allows thousands of immigrants still to swarm into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason of the governments apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get rid of the starving thou sands in European Russia. There is no civilizing influence with these fresh immigrants. The majority are beg gars with scarcely more intelligence than the Asiatics already in Siberia, The filling up Of Siberia by the pres ent-day process is nothing less than the useless sacrifice of thousands ot hapIess beings

Who Dwell Within7
 "As fo. me, ventured the man with the wooden head, T can't indorse your views. You lay claim that our apart n1ent- t-house-our fiat-nomenclature as given expression in Chicago, is too airy, too exalted, too faneiful. On the contrary it is not the one nor the other nor the last of these. You say: Here; man lives in the Santa Maria. He comes home with Saturday night tolerance of feeling for all men. He is willing to sleep 6n the grass in the in der court He is even ready to indorse the views of the janitor-to carry the white mans burden for the off-scour- ing of our social system. Then, yoE say, into what unhappy contempt does he bring name conveying such ten derness as does Santa Maria? My con- tention is that is all wrong with the decency of the man and all right with the name of the apartment-building The Abbotsford,' you say. Great scott! can man live up to that? Gan he dwell always upon the pinnaeles of romance while stuffing cheese and beer Tn little back room? Can he live up to the idea of dwelling in the eompan- donship of fatted knights. who rescue distressed maidens when at his daily business he has to haggle over the sale price of pair of pants and to figure with the girl who brings him his lunch upon the relative merits of eorned beef hash and chicken wing puree with Tice?' While you are right in part you are wrong in most All of us admit that the sentimental atmosphere sur- rounding man makes for much in his daily conduct. q say that it makes tfor everything If live in the Wash angten' don't you perceive I am going to be a higher, decenter, cleaner. more devoted citizen than I would be if I lived in the Aaron Burr?, There is a standard set for me; if am half hon. est to my environment I must try to attain 1t. Don't you suppose that q resident of the John B. Cough flats will pay more taxes in the end than the dweller in 'Bacchante' apartments? Wouldn't your chest expansion be greater on the twelfth floor of the sMastodon' than in the parlor suite of the Little Jennie?' Some names. of course, are i'll chosen and comparative ly meaningless. I do not myself like to see twenty-foot front. story-and- a-half bit of brick and mortar called the Pantheon nor nest amid world of downtown stories called the Plaza del Mesa del Virginia but, gen orally speaking, there is a good deal dn a name, in flat name.

Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia

Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia
 The Siberian News, of Tomsk, is ons of the few newspapers published in Si- beria. and gives some interesting par ticulars in regard to the transportation of Chinese tea through Russia. The Temsk newspaper says proudly that in the first twenty days of last January no less than 19,000 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city. Every sleigh carries usually five bales of tea, packed in OK skin, each weigh ing from 100 to 160 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia, which lasts nearly one year. It would be shorter to send the Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by the land route. Russian merchants, who have long had most of the European tea business i'll their lands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth in public favor of the Ceylon teas which are distributed from Loudeo
