MANY WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.
Certain Kinds Are Often Used for Food
 by Families.

Go out on any farm and see the farm- threaten to choke his crop. You may hear him say things that wouldn't sound nice about the weeds The dan- delion isn't the only weed eaten by people who know what's good to eat. Take wild chicory. the plague of the farmer. It makes one of the finest salads served, piquant, tender and wholesome. Charloek or wild mustard is another bane of the farmer. He doesn't know that as pot herb i. can give soup delightful flavor. The dock-weeds-how annoying the whole family are! Yet the broad leaf vari- ety and the curly leaf are used all over Europe as table vegetables. There's pokeweed, commonest of all. In France 1t is cultivated. It takes It's place. Sorrel, fetticus and chevril are looked on as favoring for soup. Everybody in American hates a net tie and can't see what use it is. In Scotland Poland and Germany tender young nettle leaves are used as greens The Germans boil them with other vegetables to give them a piquant fla- vor. Pursiane is another weed that can be treated in the same way. Most people think milkweed poisonous. II Is a medicinal vegetable, with de- lightful flavor all its own. The young leaves, when they are in just the right condition. are cross between spinach and azuara 1fIs and in a salad ara da- licious. Sorrel, fetticus and chevril are looked on as field pests by ninety nine out Of every hundred farmers. The hundredth one picks the choicest leaves from these weeds and sends them to market, where they find a ready sale for salads to be eaten with game and for favoring herbs-for herbs they are, and not weeds.-.Eea York World.

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

Pauper Europe has caused an out cry from new line of American in- dustry, says the Philadelphia Times. American articulators 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 serviceable, brings fancy price, A recent Frenchman, who hap pened to depart this life with a full set of teeth, is offered at $35, ordinarily imported skeletons going from $20 to $27.50, 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 ornamentatien. Skulls are s2.50Q3.25, 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 S1.400 2.65; tibia, in slight call at 45@55c. Feet articulated are quoted: Lefts, s2@2.75: rights, $2.10@2-85; west sides tby weight only), s4.30. Hands are slow and generally unsatisfactory at S1@4.50, although a fancy price, S6S.4O, 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 peg. In teeth it's the same old grind. Full sets are moving up and down at S3@125; bicuspids. hy the brace, are steady at s2@2.75: molars, dull at 7sc 0s6. Wisdom are dear.
