Skeletons For Doctors.

The mode of preparing skeletons for the use of the medical profession is very delicate operation. The scalpel is first called into reQuisition to remove the muscular tissues. It's work being done, the bones are boiled, being care fully watched meanwhile that they may not be overdone After this can nibalistic procedure they are bleached in the sun. Even the spots of grease are sure to appear when they are ex- posed to heat. The French treat these with ether and benzine. securing there by a dazzling whiteness, which is a distinguishing mark of their skeletons.
 A brass rod with all the proper curvatures supports the spinal column. Delicate brass wires hold the ribs in place. Hinges of the most perfect workmanship give to the joints a graceful and lifelike movement. Clev- erly concealed hooks and eyes render disjunction at pleasure possible. The whole construction plainly indicates the care and skill of an artist and con noiseeur.

She Wac WiIiinu.

The man was one of the sort that women Ike because of their awkward ness, ug1iness, masculinity. gaucherie and all that. His feet were too big for his legs, though his legs were enor- nous. His chest was too big for his head, though he wore seven and one eighth size in hats He was like St. Bernard pup, but older than any young dog. He had never been at a regular dance before. The girls looked like del icate flowers to him, and he hardly dared to touch one of them. He looked to the girls like new idea. and they hoped he'd arrive. He did after min ute or two. He waddled across the floor, made a stand in front of the lit tlest girl and said. more or less un' grammatically:
 . "Can dance with you?"
 She was rattled, but she answered with a smile:

HUSBANDS AND HEROES
fRochester Post-Exnress. ]


 Can a married man be a hero? The tllppant cynic will answer this ques- tion with the obviously epigTammatic remark that the mere fact that a man is married is proof good and sufficient that he is of the stuff of which brave men are made. But flippancy and cyniciSm will not suffice in this in- stance. A plain, straightforward an- swer to a plain straightforward ques- ton is demanded.
 The question is asked by the judge of San Francisco court who is hear ing a suit for divorce brought by a woman on the ground that her hug band does not measure up to the standard of heroism so evident in the leading male figures of historical nov els, in size, grace and daring" The jurist is puzzled to know if this is a common case. Can any, man be a hero to his own wife?" he asks. We do not hesitate to answer, "No!' The bravest and most daring man in the world is not hero to his own wife. She may love, she may worship. she may even adore him; but she cannot regard him with the same aWeSonne- ness that she does the wonderful he- roes of roInance-Such heroes as haunt the mythical demesnes: of Rnritania and GrauStark. A man may not be afraid of anything under the sun, yet the sight of this heroic soul sitting ashes, chopping wood, or opening a manufactured by Christy drawing or McCutcheon story. He may be the soul of honor and the very flower of chivalry, but the mere fact that he likes to sit in the kitchen and smoke a corncob pipe puts him forever be- yond the pale of romance.
 On the other hand. a counter ques- Yroa V 1c a ma rri0 0f7 woman be a heroine? The heroines of the stage and of romance have set a high standard of feminine charm and excellence, and it may be doubt full if married woman can succeed in creating the same illusion in the mas culine mind. A man may love his wife dearly and tenderly, but when she is rpeeling onions or making biscuits she is not a Princess -F1avia; and not all the glamour of love and romance, can transform an unpuffed and unratted lady in a kimono into a Juliet or a Gibson girl. E
 And let US thank whatever gods may be that this is so. genuine woman may have a romantic affection for the straight-front heroes that swag- ger across the stage or stalk heroically through the pages of romance; but she wouldn't rnarry-one of them-no, not even if he solemnly and anthony hopeily promised to kill single-handed three men every day. to hiss ''s'blood'' and ;oddsbodikins'' between his clenched teeth, to walk with the sWag- ger of a Kyrie BelleW, and to make love in the adorable manner of a Hackett. And the genuine man may remember his adolescent fancy for the Princess Flavia of his dreams-lne may have rose-colored memories of beau tiful heroines-but he would not marry the fairest damosel of them all. He much prefers the woman of flesh and blood, who may not be a heroine, but is something infinitely sweeter and more precious-a wife.

whistIsr and dis TalIer.

Curious enough" wrote Mortimer Menpes, whenever one came in con- tact with Whistler one entirely forgot one's own affairs and became com pletely occupied with his. The it of the masters coat was far more impor- tant to me than my own artistic work. At the tailor's Whistler would give an elaborate description of how certain coat was to be made, and the tailor would carry out his directions literally. But no sooner had the man accomplish ed the work than Whistler would say: This is all wrong. How dare you say that 1t is what told you to do2 I am a painter. It is not my business to make coats. That is your province. Therefore you should have led me to do what you knew to be right"

The imperiaI EaoIs.

The imperial eagle. the largest of the species known, flies to height of from 10000 to 15,0O0 feet. It is native of South America. and it's habitat is among the lofty mountains of that country. Its power of flying to high al- titudes is only exceeded by the condor of the Andes, which is said to have at- tained height of six miles, or within one mile of the greatest height ever at- tained by a balloon. The eagle sails in
 the air at heights ranging from three to five miles and when seen to soar up- ward by an observer on the earths surface disappears from sight in about three minutes.

FEAR ONE WILL DIE.
John Reilly, Auto Accident Victim, in
 Critical Condition at Hospital

-
 New Haven,Aug. 3.-Sinking rapid ly after he had been removed from under the automobile that turned turtle in Dixwel1 avenue, early yes terday morning, John Reilly, of 395 Grand avenue, who, with two of the other occupants. of the car, was rush. ed to St. Raphae's hospital, was operated upon yesterday. His condi- tion is critical and little hope is held out for his recovery. Reilly suffered a dislocated hip and internal injuries that could not be lighted by an oper- ation which was performed.
 Thomas J. Moffatt and Jerry Noonan are still at the hospital, but are reported as being much improv- ed. Each is suffering from con- tusions and bad shaking up.
 A small-sized ditch, in the street, for distance of fifty feet, showed that the car had skidded for quite a distance before 1t finally turned over.

SW0RDFISH RAMS A DORY

An exciting affair occurred near
Boston recently when monster sword
fish rammed its sword into dory sent
out from Capt. Richard Noonan's Dor
cas-, breaking the dory to splinters
and hurling into the sea two fisher
men who were rescued with great diff
ficulty by three of their mates of
Block island. Just as they were sinis-
ing in water probably quarter mile
deep. Captain Noonan and another
man plunged into the sea and rescued
them. All four were liable at any time
to be rammed and killed by the mad
sea monster. With the seamen safely
aboard the fishing vessel the fight
with the swordflsh was renewed. The
fish was weakened by the first lily
iron thrust deep into it's side. and one
of the fishermen put out in another
dory and again speared the fish. This
time It succumbed and yielded to the
rope which hauled it In.

SOUTH SEA WAVES

We all remember with what fre-
quency In the Old narratives OF expert.
ences I'm the South Seas reference is
made to the heavy swells OF the ocean,
which impressed the navigators with
the Idea of their remoteness from
land. The great size of the set waves
in high southern ATTITUDES has been
explained by the fact that south OF
the Cape OF Good Hope and Cape Horn
there is neither windward nor leeward
shore. and sne prevailing wind in all
longitudes is westerly. Thus when a
west wind springs up it finds a long
westerly swell, the effect OF a previ.
Gus wind. still running. The newborn
wind Increases the steepness of this
swell and so forms majestic storm
waves which sometimes attain a
length OF 1900 feet from crest to
crest. The average height attained
by sea waves in feet is about half the
velocity OF the wind In miles an hour
