HIS BONES FOR BUTTONS.
Other Parts of Mans Body to BE
come Violin Strings.

His bones to make buttons, his
skin to be tanned and given to his
friends and other parts of his body to
be made into violin strings-such are
the provisions of the will of Henry
E. Srllivan Of 233 West Tooth street.
New York
The will. which Mr.. Sullivan al
lege5 Is made, has these clauses:
| do hereby direct the executors Of
this my will to have made out of my
bones circular buttons OF the dmen-
sions OF from one-half inch to one
inch in diameter.
| do further direct my said execu-
tors to have the ska of my body
tanned and made into pouches.
do hereby further direct my said
executors to have made out OF such
parts of my body as may be suitable
strings for the violin. such as are
usually designated "cat-gut" strings.
And | do hereby further direct my
said executors to have said violin
strings adjusted to the body of vio-
lin.
/ hereby give, devise and beuueath
unto my beloved friend and club
mate, James Hayes, all and singular,
the buttons. violin strings and tanned
skin made out of my body, as afore-
said the same to be by him distrib-
uted according to his discretion to my
intimate friends.
When asked why he made such
queer testament Mr.. Sullivan said.
Every task we undertake. every
thought should have for its object
some useful purpose. Every stick of
wood, ever stone. every piece of sod
Ca be utilized. Did each one but
train his eyes to s. the use to which
each object in this world can be put,
how much happier the world would
be.
Il made the will because / saw
no reason why there should be such
wastefulness, why so much good raw
material should be allowed to go for
naught.
why In this age should we cling
to foolish, unhygienic, wasteful no
tions? The body, after the soul has
fled, Is Just so much material to be
moulded by man for his own use, as
is everything else on this sphere.
My will is perfectly feasible My
lawyer tells me that 1t cannot be con-
tested on the ground of insanity. I
realize that it is extraordinary, but
/ so will it as being consistent with
my belief"

Doctoring Dangerous Animals.


One of the most difficult feats at
tempted by physicians is that OF at
tending to wild animals who have
become i'll while confined in ,ome
of the big shows throughout the
United States and Europe. When
1t is recalled that many IN elephant,
lion. or some huge boa constructor
is worth thousands Of dollars. Il is
easy to understand that the very
| best trained and expensive of ply
sicians are called in to operate on
the sick> animals. There is often
danger attached to the work, al
| though If the animal Is known as
very vicious 1t is usual TO chloroform
1t before the physician begins his sx-
animation into the cause of the dis
ease.
The methods of treatment resem-
BILE largely those used when human
patients call on the family doctor,
varied of course by the peculiarities
of the animal. For instance, when
a big Indian elephant gets the stom-
ach ache, and they do this perhaps
twice a year, there is considerable
hard work to be done, and 1t aust
be done right away. For instance
the elephant must be roped by all
four legs and it must be done quick
ly, because an elephant with the
stomach ache or acute indigestion Gas
it really is) is more dangerous ~
good deal than runaway locomo-
tive.
Then he is thrown on one side
and must be jumped on with the
feet. in order to try to force the gas
out of his system.
The ordinary kind OF rubbing
would not even penetrate an cle-
plants skin. Then comes a cuge
mustard plaster with blankets used
to spread the mustard on and ;bout
20 pounds of mustard to the pla .er.
Afterwards 2 quarts of whiskey end
ginger should be poured down his
throat This treatment was usei in
the New York zoo not long tgo
and cured the elephants stomach
ache in a couple of hours.
A big Indian tigress named "Prtn-
cess" in the London zoo had bad
record as man eater near Mysore
in India. She tried to Kill anyone
who approached her, and gave eyi-
dence of being in agony. All at
tempts to lasso this tigreSs were In
vain, so one night sponge soaked
in chloroform was poksd under her
nose on long stick. This dazed the
tigress and bag containing anoth-
er chloroform soaked sponge WAS
pushed over her head. Before she
could get off the bag the areEthetic
had worked and the doctor quickly
drained off huge abscess which vas
found on one of the big teeth OF the
man eater. Monkeys and birds oc-
casicnally need surgical treatment
and are not difficult to handle. The
big inmates of the snake house. how
ever, prove very hard to care FOR
during illness. With a oython 20
feet long, 1t is necessary for ten
men to CLASP the reptile and bold
hard to overcome the resistance OF
the great coils.

IS IN FAVOR OF
GOOD ROADS
Governor Donaghey Sets
Forth His Views in the
Development of Public
Roads in Arkansas.

In the current issue Of the
Maufacturerers' Record there
appears a letter from Governor
Donaghey, in which he sets
forth the deep interest taken by
the people of Arkansas in the
development of public road. The
letter, which was written in the
executive chamber October Is,
as follows:
Editor Manufacturers Rec
ord: The people Of Arkansas
are deeply interested in the good
road movement and in the i'm
provement of the public high
ways of the state. A large part
of the counties vote a road tax
to build and maintain the high
ways within their boundaries.
The last General Assembly pass
ed an act authorizing the eoun-
ties to use their convicts on their
roads and several counties are
taking advantage of this act.
The people generally believe
that good roads will increase and
improve sociological conditions,
and that they will shorten the
distance between neighborhoods
and quicked the trips tc trade
centers; that they will cause
school houses to be erected: will
increase the number and attend
ance at churches. will make the
mails come quicker, and advance
the value of every farm; tney
will cheaper transportation
rates on many lines of railroad;
will quicken and extend COM
munication to the furthermost
parts in the interior; will cause
comfortable barns to be erected,
more wealth and a less rate of
taxation.
&c. w. Donaghey. Governor. >
