SKELETONS BY THE sHlPLoAD.

From South America.

American Fertilizing Plants Supplied
From South America.
A steamship filled with bones arriv-
ed at New York last week, awaiting
orders from owners before going to
a fertilizing plant. The bones were
the skeletons of cattle gathered on
the great plains of South America.
They are shipped here to be ground
into fertilizers. The longshoremen
find in nearly every cargo a human
bone-all that is left of some poor
fellow who died on the plains. They
are responsible for a queer little
graveyard near the fertilizing plant.
The workmen have strict orders new
er to grind up a human bone. 1t is
taken out to a little fenced graveyard
and buried. Many of the graves are
not more than two feet long. but they
are as carefully covered as though
they contained entire skeletons.

OBSERVATIONS.

It's a poor wedding ceremony that
hasn't a hitch in it.
Brokers who sell short and wait for
a fall often get a hard one.
Wise is the married man who keeps
his private opinions to himself.
It isn't what a man doesn't possess
that makes him POOR, but rather what
he wants.
A manless baby carriage would fill
a long-felt want in some populous
community.
II a man is unable TO stand prosper
ity he should sit down and enjoy it,
No man ever sees a pretty married
woman without feeling just the least
bit envious Of her husband.
It wouldn't be a difleult matter to
convince the average man that green
backs are printed on hy-paper.
The cynic says the reason women
like the seashore so much Is because
they see themselves in the water.

where Nutmeas Are CROWN.

The nutmeg supply of England and
her colonies is almost entirely in the
hands of Dutchmen. The bulk comes
from the Island of Banda, and over so
per cent of the worlds crop from the
Dutch West Indies. The fruiting
powers of the trees are remarkable.
They start fruiting when about twelve
years old. and yield regularly for
sixty or eighty years. They carry
blossoms and fruits without inter
mission through every month Of the
year.

NOW THE DEADLY TOOTHBRUSH
British Physician Says It Is Cause Of
Appendicitis.

Appendicitis.
Now the toothbrush has been put
under the ban of the medical experts.
A British authority m out with
the statement that in addition to car
rying germs concealed among its
bristles it is one of the causes of APP
pendicitis. The germs can be killed
by washing the brush with an anti
septic solution, it is admitted, but
1t is not SO easy to get rid of appen-
dicitis. This dread but fashionable
malady is caused, says the British
physician, by the bristles becoming
loosened, being swallowed and lodg-
ing in the appendix. Thus far no
suggestion has been made for a sub.
stitute for the toothbrush.
