PAPER Joints for Skeletons.

mot one skeleton in 20 that you see
in Museums or in the windows Of
quack medicine doctors are the bones
of one man or one woman" said a
Bellevue medical student. "A complete
skeleton is difficult thing to get, even
by physicians who want to put them to
q legitimate use. Most Of the skeletons
seen in museums are made from mis-
.cellane6us bones collected from hospi-
tails oil over the country. There is a
regular trade in separate bones for
special studies. When man who
wants to set up skeleton gets good
collection of bones he employs an ex-
perienced~ anatomist, to articulate it.
But any expert can see that the joints
don't belong to the same person. When
theresare any joints missing substitutes
are made of paper pulp; which answers
every purpose, and from a short dis
lance looks like real bone. Even then
skeletons are expensive. It costs 5000 to
.rut a good one togethr. IN. Y. Press.

SysteA n Operation In Germany That
Has Resulted Most Ad.
mlrably. ~~

Tho German governments interecl
in the working people Is exemplified
most strikingly in the system Of work
mems insurance it has recently estab-
lished and is maintaining at consider
able pecuniary outlay, but to the In
finite advantage OF the beneficiaries. In
1902, ON account Of sickness, 4,800, 900
persons received sick benefits amount
ing to 81, 50O, 900; for accidents, S84, 66G
persons received $26,800.0O0; for in
trinity 100000 persons received $780,
250,O00-a total Of 6,735, 900 persons
benefited to the extent Of $l0S. ,500, OO0'
Of the total amount $10,a50.0OO wa
contributed by the government. $751;
100000 by employers and 345, SOC, 900 by
the insured. That is to say, the work.
ing classes received over $50 ,000,OOO BE-
yond the amount OF their, own contri-
button to the cost Of their insurance
against sickness and infirmity, and this
amount is increasing with great rapid
ity. It has already increased tenfold
in the II years. .~.
An incidental effect has been an i'm
mense impetus to the work of public
sanitation. There is direct economy
in providing healthful conditions for
the working classes which acts as q
constant spur upon the authorities. As
consumption was found to be the worst
enemy to the health of the workers a
law was passed in 1899 providing for
the establishment of sanitariums in
connection with infirmity insurance
and there are now between 70 and 80
sanitariums, containing 1000 beds, for
the accommodation of working class
patients under the insurance laws. The
open-air cure is employed with great
success, over 81 per cent. of the pa
tents being fully restored to working
capacity and over 81 per cent. addition
al are partially restored.
Another marked effact of the system
is that is has greatly promoted peace
full relations between trades unions and
employers. Instead OF aiming at work.
shop control the unions take to poll
tics, and this has been great factor In
the enormous growth Of the social dem
ocratic party. This is curious reverse
of the original expectation with which
state insurance was introduced. 1t was
intended to disarm socialism by attach
ing the working classes to the govern
ment 1t has promoted socialism by
teaching the working classes to look to
the exercise of state authority for the
promotion of their interests. 1t has
given the labor movement in Germany
a thoroughly political character, recog-
nizing and upholding public authority,
because it expects eventually to WELD
that authority. Hence there is a pow
erful force at work counteracting an
archical tendencies.

TRAVELS OF A HALF DOLLAR.
In the Course Of Nineteen Years ,
Marked Coin Was Twice
Heard From.

In August, 1884, George Sizer. one of
the most popular young men ever
raised in this community, was run over
by the chemical engine and received
injuries that proved fatal, says the
Harrodsburg (Ky.) Herald. Ten years
after his death a letter addressed to
him at this place was turned over to
his mother, Mrs. Mary Sizer. 1t was
written by gentleman in New York,
who stated that he had come in pos
session of half a dollar with the name
George Sizer, Harrodsburg, KY"
stamped on it, and If it was of any
value to him to send SO cents and he
would return the coin with the name
On it.
Mrs. Sizer was quite i'll at the time
and the letter was never answered.
The coin is still in circulation, for a
few days ago another letter came here
addressed to George Sizer.' 1t was dated
Baltimore, Nd, November q, 1903,
and was written by Miss Irene Yorls.
She stated that her company was filling
an engagement at theater in that city
and two nights before some admirers
of her histrionic accomplishments had
tossed several coins on the stage, and
among them was 50-cent piece with
his (Sizer's) name on it; that If he de-
sired she would send the coin.
This letter was also given to Mrs.
Sizer, and she sent so cents to Miss
Yorks with the request that she send
her the piece Of money with her dead
sons name on it. A singular thing in
connection with Miss York's letter is
that it is dated November q, the nine
tcenth anniversary. of Mr.. Steers death

entire system. / also consider it one of

M. Z. Gee, NJ. d.
Catarrh is systemic disease cura bio
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use Of Peruna

full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

nR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medical
IL Examiner of the u. 5. Treasury

consider nlyselfa we'll man after

A constantly increasing number of
,physiciaua prescribe .Peruna in their
practice. It has proven its merits SO
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So
called patent and recommend
it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afflicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases attiict

Famine in India.

Famines in India are not due ako- gether to failure of the crop in the famine regions. The country is inhab- ited by race of agriculturists who seem to be unable to save anything, writes the Rev. J. b. Scott in his book, 'Tn Famine Land" Frugality and thrift are to them almost unknown. If nature is propitious, they get liv- ing; if the crop fails, they fail with it.
 In Rajputana, at the time of famine, grain poured in from the northwest provinces and elsewhere in such quan- titles that railway companies and the merchants realized large profits, and wheat was on sale at q reasonable price; but as the poor peasant has no money, he must starve to death with food at his door,
 At many of the railway stations MT. Scott saw thousands of fat pigeons gorgng themselves with grain from the loaded wagons on the siding, while apathetic native officials stood by and saw the precious food devoured in the sight of scores of miserable, famine-stricken villagers who cried aloud for food. So tame had the pig cons become that MT. Scott had no diff ficulty in catching one, but he was immediately warned by policeman that there was no "order" to molest them. The pigeons would have fur nished food enough to keep whole village from starving to death; but the high-caste Hindu would rather die of starvation than kill and eat one of <hen.

Keeps Correct Time,

The worlds best timekeeper is said to be the electric clock in the base ment of the Berlin observatory, which was installed by Professor Foerster in 1865. It is inclosed in an air-tight glass cylinder and has frequently run for periods of two or three months with an average daily deviation of only tifteen-one-thousandths of a sec ond. Yet astronomers are not satis- fled even with this and efforts are continually made to secure ideal con- ditions for a clock by keeping it not only in an air-tight case, but in an underground vault where neither changes of temperature nor of baro- metric pressure shall ever affect it.
