SAVES BONES OF CHINESE.
San Francisco Celestial Makes Living
by Removal Of Remains
to Far Cathay.

Lee Chung, Of San Francisco. makes a
good living by a peculiar employment
Some years ago he entered into contract
with the Six Companies to exhume the
bones Of all Cinnamon who had died in
this country. The Six Companies found
that II was hard to induce Cinnamon to
come here unless it was stipulated that
in case Of death their bones should be
finally buried in China.
So they engaged the service Of Mr..
Chung as their agent in the carrying out
Of this agreement He keeps track Of the
remains Of all the clients Of the Six Com
panies that have died and sees to it that
they are carefully boxed up and sent
back to China.
His duties take him to all parts Of
the country and he has subagents in all
the large cities where Cinnamon have
settled.
His contract makes Il incumbent upon
him to prevent the bones from being
mixed. They are separately packed in
white muslin bags, and no bone must be
broken or sawed. Each set Of bones Is
labeled and carefully recorded in the
Six Companies office, when and where
buried, when exhumed, when shipped to
China, and the account finally closed
with the receipt for the bones from the
dead mans relatives.

Owl ana puek Share Nest.

An incident which win be interesting
to naturaiists Il told in a recent num-
Der OF the Scotsman. One of the for
esters In the employ Of the marquis
Of Lothian was returning from his
work when he noticed a Wild duck ny
ing from q lareh tree. On close exam
nation he observed common brown
owl looking down from what appeared
TO be q nest an the cleft Of the tree,
about 80 feet from the ground and ap-
parently near the place from which the
duck had flown Curiosity prompted
him 70 climb to the place, which he
did with great dificulty., The owl on
his approach few OF, and TO his sur
prise he found in the nest two eggs
an owls and wild ducks. It is not
uncommon for both owls and ducks TO

It e unheard Of for one nest to be
appropriated By both birds.

YELLoWNEss OF VISION.
a Condition Of Mind That Hay BE
Eittingly Termed Mental
Jaundiee.

There are some people who have
mental jaundice. That Is to say, they
see everything yellow. Physical jaun-
dice produces yeIlOEness Of the eyes.
A great many cases Of jaundice actual
~ color the aqueous humor Of the eye.
This produces q condition Of the eye
which makes the patient see every
thing yellow. In fact the patient Is
looking out on the world through gel
low fluid, and, Of course. everything
looks yellow, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
Now there Is a condition Of mind
which might be iikened to yellow saun-
dice A person gets yellow in his
mind, he IS yellow clear through to
his soul, and his soul Is yellow also.
Then be looks ont upon the world and
discovers Tat everything Is yellow.
Every publication is yellow, every en-
terprise, everything Is yellow but him
self, whom he fondly imagines Is not
yellow. simply because be cannot see
himself
Mental jaundice Is sim worse than
physical jaundiee. no drug can cure
mental iaundlce. and there Is no "a
tional treatment for il. The patient
never knows mat there is anything
the matter with him. His friends and
neighbors know that there IS some
thing wrong. but they can never make
the patient believe It. A person might
4 great deal better have something the
matter with his liver than something
