Uses For Old Bones.

Bones are. not wasted The chief
product is glue, aud among other ma
terials which are obtained from them
are soap, glycerin and fertilizers.
After being carefully separated by
workmen they are soaked In a weak
solution Of sulphuric acid. From the
soaking tanks the bones emerge white
and perfectly clean. They are then
placed In steam tanks, where, after be-
Ing subjected to pressure of steam
for several hours, trapdoor is open
ed at the bottom of the digester, as it
is called, and the liquid glue that has
been extracted is drawn eff. The
liquid glue is partly evaporated, and a
portion is allowed to harden for COM
mercial use as glue, and a part is re-
fined and sold for gelatin for table use.
Floating on the top Of the glue in the
digester is quantity of fat that has
been also extracted from the bones by
the steam. This is drawn off into
cooling tanks, where in its crude state
1t is made into securing soaps. BY
refining and adding vegetable oils and
perfumes toilet soaps are made.-Lon-

Chest Measurements.

Put tape measure round your chest
and note the measurement. Puff your
chest out by taking deep breath and
note the number of inches that you In
crease. One inch of expansion would
be very feeble; two is rather poor. We
all ought to put on three inches, and
four is good. 1t is right and proper
that the lungs should be well expand
ed at each breath. The air penetrates
more easily into some parts of the
lungs. The apex, at the base of the
neck, just behind the collar bone. is
rather sluggish part Of the incoming
air current. That is considered to be
one Of the reasons why the apex is the
commonest site for consumption. All
children should be taught breathing
exercises. The ribs are soft in child
hood and youth and can be nodded
into shape. When once growth has
stopped the ribs are in their position
and shaped for life. Therefore take
pains to cultivate a good chest that
expands several inches.

An Omnivorous Insect,

There is in Egypt little shaggy
black and tan insect about an eighth
Of an inch long that eats almost every
thing under the sun. In most coun-
tries ivory brushes are pretty safe
from insects. In Egypt this little ter
ror eats the ivory and eats the bris-
ties. 1t eats your toothbrush and eats
your toothpick. It eats the wool with
which you are going to mend your
husbands socks-the cards as well as
the wool. It eats the handles off your
knives and forks. It rejects nothing
but glass and china and metal.-Sla-

FOR SPRING WEDDINGS.
One Attractive Way to
Give the Bride a Shower.

With spring already upon us, the
thought of spring weddings is now
in the air. This is the ripe season foI
linen showers and other showers OF
household necessaries given to the
bride by all her friends. The girl who
is to be married in April will be the
recipient of many an entertainment
before she is safely welded, but she
will enjoy nothing more than a shower
If her friends have any novel ideas or
the subject.
The chief point in O shower must al
ways be its surprise; otherwise il
would not be a shower If you are
thinking of giving such an affair fol
some friend who is soon to be married
be sure that every detail is kept Sc
cret from her. That is half the fun.
A novel idea for linen shower car
be executed in the following way: In.
vite the bride to be to spend an even
ing at your home with few old
friends. See that she arrives the first
and Is comfortably seated and chat
ting when the other guests begin tc
arrive. OF course the latter are in the Sc
cret or else there would be no shower.
Each guest must come in carrying an
umbrella. The bride may not notice
the first one, but she will certainly re-
mark before long that every one who
enters carries an umbrella. She will
probably ask before the last one ar
rives If it is raining, in which case the
guest questioned should answer, "No,
but it looks like shower"
When all the guests have arrived
each one must gain possession Of her
own umbrella in case it has been laid
aside on her entrance. At a given
signal, which should be some such re-
mark from the hostess as 'Did you say
it looked like a showerw the guests
should all open their umbrellas with
the answer, ''It certainly does.
From the steel ribs of each umbrella
should be suspended by string the
parcel holding the piece of linen which
the guest intends to give the bride.
Any big bundles, like tablecloth, will
make the umbrella a bit bulky when
closed, but in such case the guest
will have to smuggle her umbrella in
unnoticed But most linen pieces can
be done up in such small parcels that
they can easily be concealed in closed
umbrella.
AT the signal to open the parcels will
all hang down by their strings. The
guests must then hold their umbrellas
over the bride-to-be's head. The host
ess provides her with scissors to cut
down her various bundles, and the
point of the shower is made apparent.

Strenuous Piano Playing

The late Lord Burnhams house was
one Of the few-perhaps the only one
where the impresario Of London opera
seasons allowed his singers to perform
at evening parties. In that drawing
room you might hear the .prima donna
out of Covent Garden, and for other
manners Of music also those parties
were memorable Many respectful hear
ers have sat by while great pianist
has broken the cord Of grand piano;
but at Lord Burnham's on one occa-
sion Rubinstein broke not cord, but a
key. That great composer was a
strong man Of his hands. The key
was a natural" an ivory note, and
when it snapped he threw the frag-
ment over his shoulder and went on

A Hyuiene Note,

When a child begins with cold iso.
late it from the other children in the
house and do not let it attend school
until it is better. Not only is a cold
contagious in itself, but in children a
cold is often the beginning of con-
tagious disease, and it is not fair to
other children to let them come in con
tact with a cold until it is proved tc
be nothing serious.
There is no better gargle or nose
douche for beginning Inflammation
than salt and water. Of course the so,
luton must be weaker for the nose.
Nose douches should be taken only On
a Doctors advice, as the membrane Of
the nose is very delicate and the treat
ment must necessarily vary with the
child. Never let the child go out of
doors after spraying nose and throat.

MAY HAVE Been ACCIDENTAL
Miss Hannah Had Not Been in Good
Health for Some Time - Her Friends
Had Been Apprehensive as to Her
ondition-Remains Come Today.

Miss Sarah Adele Hannah, daughter
of Mrs. Sarah Hannah, 314 Chicago
street, and a young woman widely
known in Kenosha, was found dead in
her apartments On Michigan avenue,
in Chicago, late Wednesday night.
She had been asphyxiated by gas which
was flowing freely from a broken
fixture in the room. The manner IN
which Miss Hannah met her death
is shrouded in mystery. She had been
in Chicago for the past two weeks and
on Tuesday her friends in Kenosha had
received letter from her stating that
she was not in the best of health.
They had sought to find her on We'd
nesday, but she had changed her
rooming place and had not given her
friends the changed address
At the rooming house where her
body was found on Wednesday even
ing it was declared that she had ap-
peared cheerful, but that she had said
that she was suffering from severe
headache when she retired to her room
OF Wednesday. There was nothing
to indicate the manner in which the
gas fixture had been broken.
Miss Hannah was member of one
Of the old families in Kenosha. She
was a daughter of the late Dennis
Hannah and a granddaughter of the
late William Lynch, one Of the pioneer
residents of Kenosha city and county.
She was born IN the town of Paris,
December 5, 1876, but she had spent
much of her life in Kenosha. She was
educated in the schools of Kenosha
and was young woman of culture
and refinement. She had compet-
ercy from the estate of her grand
father and she gave much of her time
to travel. In the past few years she
had visited nearly every part of the
United States and had spent some time
IT Mexico. She loved changing scenes
and she found her highest pleasure in
travel. Two weeks ago when she was
al the home Of her mother in Kenosha
she had declared that she was going 10
spend some time in Chicago before
making her plans for a summer trip.
Several letters had been received
from her in recent days and these
indicated that she was not in the
best of health.
She was thoughtful of her friends
and only short time before she died
she had sent draft Of a considerable
sum to one of her child friends in
Kenosha. She had Informed her rela-
tives here that she had planned to
change her boarding house and on
Tuesday her trunk was received in
Kenosha and her relatives had ex-
pected her to return to the home of
her mother in Kenosha.
Miss Hannah is survived by her
mother now more than eighty years
of age and one sister, MISS Agnes
Hannah of Kenosha.

WOMAN REBEL COMING.
Racine United Woman's Clubs Have
Engaged Mrs. Sanger to Talk
on Birth Control.

The United Woman s clubs of Racine
have established their claim to a repu-
tation for breadth of thought and en-
ergy in studying sociological subjects
by engaging the far-famed Mrs. Mar
garet Sanger to talk on Birth Con-
troll" in May, the exact date to be an
nounced when Mrs. Sanger's convent
ence has been consulted.
This subject which has brought forth
forceful plays from the pen of the
great French dramatist, Brieux, and
which has occupied much attention on
the lecture platform and in printed
columns in the past decade in Europe,
is comparatively new in the United
States.
Through an indictment brought
against her, Mrs. Sanger claims, by
men opposed to her views because of
their narrowness of thought, she was
hailed before the grand jury to answer
the charge that publications on birth
control in her magazines were obiec-
tionable. No sooner was the matter
inquired into than Mrs. Sanger was ex-
onerated of all guilt in the matter.
She is sometimes called "the woman
rebel" She said in recent interview:
"Birth control knowledge is to show
women under what conditions it is best
for them to bear children. Birth con-
troll does not necessarily make for
either larger or smaller families; it
simply insures through the mother s
knowledge, square deal and fair
chance for whatever children are born.
In Europe birth control is sanction
ed by government.
No woman should bring a child
into the world unless she is physically
fitted to properly endow it with a good
brain and body and unless she is bless
ed with the resources to rear and edu-
cate the child and give it fair chance
to make it's way in the world.''
A number of Kenosha women are
already planning to attend the meeting
at which Mrs. Sanger will speak.
