SAVES BONES OF CHINESE.
Lee Chung Attends to Removal Of Re-
mains Carefully.


mains Carefully.
Lee Chung, of San Francisco, makes
q good living by q peculiar employ.
ment, Some years ago he entered
Into contract with the Six Companies
to exume the bones of all Cinnamon
who had died in this country. The
Six Companies found that it 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 services 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 Companies 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 it 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 ex-
humed. when shipped to China, and
the account finally closed with the re-
ceipt for the bones from the dead
mans relatives.

enamelcd Ornaments of Antiouity

Enameled ornaments were among
the treasured possessions of the
Greeks, Etruscans and Byzantines,
and the art was also recognized by
ancient nations less cultured and
artistic. To such a degree of perfec-
ton did the ancients carry the art
that modern skill and fancy has
found little to improve and practical
ly all the old systems remain In force
to-day

This Information May be of Value to

When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing OF
children that affliction of weakness of
the kidneys and auxiliary organs the
mothers lot is far from a happy one.
This condition can be quickly changed
and absolutely cured by the use of
poan's Kidney Pills. When this is
known the mothers burden will be
lighter and her home happier
Mrs. A. G.. Howell, of 215 E. Davie
street, says: my little boy suffered
from kidney weakness. The secre-
tons from those organs were thick
and he always complained of being
unable to retain it, He often wet the
attend him but he seemed to grow
worse instead of better noticed
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recon-
mended in our papers, and l got a boz
of them from Bobbitt-Wynne Drug
Company's store. Before the boy had
taken half of them there was a de-
cided change for the better. The Sc
cretions from the kidneys became ma
turnal. He did not complain of back
ache or headache and there was a
wonderful change for the better in his
complexion. Doan's Kidney Pills are
all that is claimed for them and / will
only be too glad to say SO at any time. -
