taught any trade. It was to correct this sort of thing that he had "the apple of his eye" Princess Victoria Louise, taught to be a milliner.
 For months, morning after morn- ing, a young milliner came to the imperial palace at Berlin and initia- ted the princess into the mysteries of hat and bonnet making. It is even hinted that the milliner suggested to her young pupil that the mode as followed by her mother and herself was anything but up to date. Be that as it may, the princess enjoyed her lessons, though history does not record whether she ever wore hat trimmed by her own hands.
 But the emperor achieved his ob- ject and crowds of impecunious women took to learning millinery, in imitation of the Princess Victoria Louise.

SAVED LIVES OF FIVE.

A gallant rescue of five children from death under a train was de- scribed at recent inquest at Prees- gweene, Shropshire, England, on the body of sixth child, aged ten, wbo was killed. Elijah Davies was walk ing along footpath which crosses the railway when he saw six children going over the line and at the same time heard an express which was hidden by a curve. Dashing on the line he lifted two of the children in his arms, and with wild cries drove three others out of danger. He and his charges escaped death by few inches only, but unfortunately he missed one child, who was immedi- ately cut to pieces by the express.

TRAGEDY BROUGHT TO LIGHT

Evidences of bygone tragedy have been unearthed at Horton, lit- tie village in the peaceful peninsula of Cover, Wales. A resident was walking along the beach a few days ago when he stumbled against a bone protruding from the ground. His curiosity was aroused, and he procured spade, and eventually dug up what proved to be human re- mains. The spot at which the grue- some discovery was made was by the side of small cliff, and it is known that the sea has encroached upon the coastline, and the probability is that several feet or more of ground had been washed away and so unearthed the hidden remains, which, however, had evidently been flung into hole there over hundred years ago. With the remains was found an old fashioned dagger, encrusted with rust, and this fact suggests tragedy.

 Thereupon out came printed document for the mans inspection, duly stamped and signed. Well" came the next question, "I hope you're satisfed?" The man nodded and then made gesture toward the rest of the party. "Oh, yes," ex- claimed the mirthful potentate, "Tve no doubt the other gentlemen will readily follow suit and show you theirs" Of course not one had a license, and all had to pay fines be- fore a magistrate next day.
 But he has not always had it his own way. One night he was sitting out dance with young lady at . court ball. What would you say" he asked, If I were to forbid naval officers to marry?' "Your majesty" came the quick reply, "that would be impossible. Your navy would cease to exist. ."-Pall Mall Gazette.

How would YOU like to be the bone
man?
That is to say. how would YOU like to
be craftsman in trade with probabl
the smallest competition in the world?
There are probably fewer experts in
cleaning and articulating skeletons than
in any other calling, and yet it is a
trade by itself and one requiring infinite
patience and great technical skill.
With the removal of the National Mu-
the division of skeletons has been given
bigger quarters, and the display has been
arranged so as to give it prominence
that it has never before had.
Known as "Boneyard."
1t is popularity known as the bone
yard" and has not the attraction for
the average visitor that there is in the
display of mounted animals and thu big
cases of chronological groups. but it is
one of the most remarkable collections in
the whole museum and there probably is
less known about the technique of as
sembling the skeletons than OF prepa ring
the exhibits in any other section. The
work at the Museum has been for years
under j. w. Scoliick, who works on the
upper floor of one of the small buildings
back OF the old Smithsonian.
He is about to commence on some of
the Roosevelt skeletons in the big African
collection, but the display now in the
museum is largely his work, though some
of the specimens have been acquired by
purchase and exchange. They range all
the way from a fullgrown elephant to
herring, and each of them represents
weeks Of work and technical skill out
of all apparent proportion to the very
hare result.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-05-19
Meat Is Scraped Off.

Instead, the meat has TO be taken off
the bones raw. with a scraper. and then
the bones are carefully washed clean of
grease with gasoline. This absorbs out
the grease and leaves the natural white
finish, but not the dead white that would
follow treatment with acids.
Each mounter of skeletons makes his
own scrapers out of tool steel. and has as
many OF them as tools in wood-carving
set. There is one thing they have in
angle edge, like one side Of a pair of
scissors. The delicacy of the art is. to
us, the scraper. to remove the meat and
not to touch the bone, for this would
ruin the surface. Some apprentices to
the craft have to give the work up be-
cause they cannot get the light handed
touch that cleans the bone without hurt
ing the surface.
After the bones in skeleton are
cleaned they have to be dried, and this
sun will crack the bone. AS it will season
ing wood. The best drying weather.
from q bone artists point Of view. is a
gray. drizzling day. when there is no
cracked or developing black streaks,
which sometimes happens with the bigger
bones.
Even this streaking is not irremedia BILE,
because the streaks can usually be worked
out with dilute ammonia, but it is a tire
some process.
Process Is Tiresome.
In fact the whole skeleton cleaning pro-
cess is tiresome. and is said to get on the
nerves worse than any other form OF
specimen mounting carried on in a mu-
scum. Some of the small fish skeletons
take weeks OF cleaning. and some are sc
delicate that they have TO be mounted
against glass to keep them properly as.
sembled for display. Some OF the ba,
skeletons. with their long. delicate wing
bones. are mounted in this way.
Different specimens of the same ANNA
are not equally easy to mount. and a bone
| ar1iculator can never tell when he starts
| on a job how long that particular piece
| Of work Is going to take him.
Altogether. IL IS a little known craft
one of the most tiresome and lea<t con.
sidered by the public In the whole OF the
museum business. but one that is q Graf,
by itself and business in which there is
| little competition.
