The preparation of the skeleton takes many months from first to last, and is a very expensive process. There must be a thorough chemical treat- ment of the bones in the first place, to insure their hanging together and remaining in an unaltered state. The real skeleton factory deals in nothing except the genuine skeletons. and they not only sell these and fill orders for them to all sorts of medi- 081 men and institutions and schools, but they are also willing to “rent them” for any period. The biggest share of the skeleton trade is carried on in France, the big- gest “factory” being located in Paris, where there is a complete equipment ,and stock for furnishing skeletons of everything, even extinct animals, skeletons of fishes and men or ele- phants and rabbits and everything to- iday that has enough of a skeleton to ! put together. So great is the business in this place that it has branches in London and Berlin, and it gets out [great catalogues, and sends them lbroadcast, showing lists and cuts of .their choice lots of skeletons. A painter. if Stowe], in Somerset- shire, had a wen in the inside of his check as big as a puliet‘s egg, which by the advice of me, was cured by once or twice touching or rubbing with was perfectly cured in a few we Aubrey also says. recalls the “Fan Doctor,” that a hunch-hacked c was cured in the same fashion. a dead woman's hand (and contra, to cure a womdn, a dead man’s hand). He was'directed to say the Lord’s prayer. and to beg_ g blessing.” He A Strange Belief Among the superstitions that for- merly prevailed was a belief in the emciency of various parts of a human corpse when applied to the seat of disease. Thus Aubrey. an old writer. says: “’Tis certain the touch 0'! a dead hand wrought wonderful eflects. Most of the human bones employed in the French manufacture belonged, in life, to criminals or to unknown persons whose bodies were unclaimed after death in hospitals or almshouses. After being utilized in the dissecting room the remains were removed to this factory. The preparation of skeletons is really far more important than one would think. as it provides thousands of medical students and others with the means of making'a proper study of the construction of the human frame, and helps in the constant work of medical and surgical advance. Making skeletons for a living does not seem to be a business that would pay very much, and yet there are a number of places where skeletons are made. In making skeletons it does not mean that they are made artific- ially by some composition resembling bone, but that they are ”made" by re- moving flesh and ligaments, drying the bones, whitening them and assembling them, fastening them together with slender wires in place of the liga- manta, which, of course, will not re- main solid like bone, but disintegrate. In these places skeletons of almost everything, from a common tadpole to a human being, are made. There are places where artificial skeletons are made for various purposes, such as theatrical productions and the like, but this is done along with other work when: all sorts of things, from imitation ivory paper cutters to mas- sive pillars, are made. Big One in Paris Has Almost Mono- poly of Strange Trade In answer to a question as to how he came to go away up into that coun- try where the mail comes in ten times a year, passing all the fertile lands of the west, Mr. Lawrence said that in the early days his uncle, E. J. Law- rence, was located at Fort Vermilion as a church missionary. This uncle induced his father to leave Frontenac county. Ontario, and go up there as farm instructor. They went via Cal- gary 26 years ago, traveling all the way in carts across an unbroken prairie to the Athhasca River. “The conditions in the country are practically the same as when I entered it 26 years ago.” said Mr. Lawrence. “Fur trading is the chief occupation. Good prices are paid and there is-no want among the Indians. Independent traders have corrupted the morals of the tribes to a certain extent and they are not acorded the same credit as in the early days when they dealt ex- clusively with the Hudson’s Bay, but the Indians are being taught some bitter lessons and they are improving. So far as i can see the indians are decreasing somewhat in numbers.” as great as between Moose Jaw and Edmonton, but. here is the word of this man, who has lived at the north- ern polnt for over a quarter of a cen- tury, that grain planted later matures at the same time as the cereals of Alberta and SaskatcheWan. The sum- mer days are longer in the north, with more sunlight. hence the result. That there will some day be a gold stamped to the Peace River is the prophecy of the northerner. In the sand bars of all the rlvers there is gold, he said, but so far It could not be panned in paying quantities. It is 600 miles by water from Edmon- ton to Fort Vermilion and measured by the map the distance between the two points as the crow flies is almost Biz and bronzed, Sheridan Lawton“ of Peace River. unfolded some in- tz-rr-sting tales of the northland While on a visit to Winnipeg.

CORSET During the progress of the fire. and while engaged in removing goods from Black‘s hardware. an explosion of rifle shells occurred. in which Vernon Elvidge received a nasty cut over the eys from a flying shell. The wound. lirn\‘e‘.‘er. was not serious. We are pleased to learn from Mr. Mactarlane that he. intends to rebuild right away, and before the fire was out, Mr. Black told us he had rented the vacant store in the McIntyre block and will con- tinue right on in the business. He said he lost a lot of money. but is not dead yet, and will go on iust as usual. From the time the fire alarm was sounded until the fire brigade got to work smemed a long time. We have no record of it, but do not think it was as long as it seemed. We must say, however. that the boys did splendid work, Mr. Macfarlane is also a Very heavy loser, but is unable to give an idea of the loss until the salvage is valued. Most of the goods upstairs were destroyed by fire. a great deal of what he had down stairs has been wholly destroyed by water and smoke. The damaged buildings were his property, and the cost of putting them in repair will run up into the thousands. We fancy that Mr. Macfarlane’s total loss will run up to twelve or fifteen thousâ€" and dollars. It is partly covered by insurance, but he is unable to tell us to what extent. “'e are not in a position to say What the total loss will amount to. but betxveen thirty and forty thousand dollars would we think, be a conservative esti- mate. Mr. Black claims to have lost about fourteen or fifteen thousand dollars, and he carried only $4.000 insurance.

REMINDERS and their services deserve much more than mere newspaper recog- nition. None of us, we’ll venture to say, ever expected to see the {ire confined to such narrow lim- its, and we have to thank the firemen for things turning out as well as they did. It seems almost miraculous that the livery stable right across the street escaped destruction, and Mrs. Caldwell’s house, too, in which lay the remains of the late David McClocklin, was in im- minent danger for a great por- tion of the time.
