MEN IN THEIR BONES.
WHERE THOSE THAT HANG IN
DOCTORS’ CLOSETS COME FROM.
An Industry Without American Foot-
hold — Thirty Dollar ' Skeletons or
Rather Inferior- Qnaiity—A Fine Sort
Articulated with Silver Plated Wire.
The doctor began to talk about skeletons.
He drew atrade circular, isued by a whole-
sale dealer in surgical instruments and sup-
plies, from his pocket. The circular con-
tained an annual review of the surgical in-
struments and supplies market. Part way
down the neatly printed page appeared this
aph, which the doctor read:
“Skeletons have ruled firm .and active
throughout the year, with prices unchanged.
We have been able to supply the demand for
the common varieties promptly, but the
finger grades were scarce, and orders for de-
formities could not always be filled at once.
In this regard the market is still unchanged,
although our broker in Park has orders to
buy everything offered at the usual Ta ’3
The doctor read the paragraph much as
boys on the street eat ice cream out of the'
penny goblets they buy of Italian venders,
. that is, slowly and with evident relish. When
he had finished it and folded the circular, he
said:
“There is no branch of the enormous im-
port trade of the American people so interest-
ing as the trade in skeletons, although its
magnitude and importance are known to but
few. Not that its magnitude or value make
it interesting; it attracts attention solely be-
cause the article is in itself fascinating. But
there are features of the trade that may not
escape the eye of the political economist. For
instance, this great nation of 60,000,000 of
people is wholly dependent on foreign coun-
tries for its skeletons. Not but what a physi-
cian here and there may have a specimen
which has been untimely snatched from the
country graveyard, but the stock skeletons
of the country are all impo , and that,
too, simply because the pauper labor of the
old world is able to string bones together for
lea money than an American laborer could
live and pay taxes on.
ANATOmCAL KNOWLEDGE. .
“The man who can put the bones of the
human frame together must be an anatomist;
he must know, for instance, where the collar
bone is located and what its functions are.
No anatomist, not even a pauper anatomist
in the morgue in Paris, would be so foolish as
to rest the butt of a gun containing four
drams of powder and an ounce and a quarter
of shot on his collar bone, and in that posi-
tion fire it. Collar bones were not made for
such use. N ow, although possessed of so
much more knowledge than some sportsmen,
the Paris anatomist is willing to work for a
franc a day, and the capitalist who employs
him is thus enabled to sell skeletons at such
a low rate that even new fledged doctors in
America cannot compete.
“Incredible as it may seem, a skeleton well
mounted and neatly packed in a white pine
boxcanbehadfortbesmallsumofm. The
box can he stood on end, with the skeleton
hanging from the top by a screw running
down through the skull. If the box is covered
with red plush and lined with blue satin the
simple packing case becomes a neat, attrac-
tive and economical anatomical closet. Of
course, most physicians prefer a black wal-
nut cabinet, with glass doors covered with
a red curtain, but that is a matter of taste,
not that I would recommend any one to
purchase a $30 skeleton unless for temporary
use. They are not over substantial; they
cannot be polished up very- nicely, and they
are apt to crumble. You see, the 880 skele-
tons are taken from the corpses of people well
advanced in life, like yourself. where the cal-
careous matter predominates in the bones.
Besides, some peOple have bones that are
naturally more brittle than other people’s.
The anatomist in the Paris skeleton factory
is able to tell by the looks of the subject just
how far he may go in whitening the bones
for mounting, for the whitening process tends
to make the bones more brittle than they are
naturally. The skeleton of a young person
whose bones are of the right quality will
stand a great deal of work, and a great deal
of work, even at a franc a day, means an en-
hanced price. A first class skeleton will bring
8125. and at that figure it would be a delight
to the profession, having silver plated wire
articulations, and everything in style. Now
and then some man with an artistic taste in
such matters will have a skeleton mounted
with solid silver. Although not quite so sub-
stantial or well able to stand the rough usage
to which students subject such specimens, this
love of the beautiful ought by all means tobe
encouraged.
-' AT uonsaarn rulers.
“The ordinary demand for skeletons is like
the demand in most branches of trade. Good,
substantial goods at moderate prices are what
are wanted. Well whitened bones articulated
with polished steel and packed in good cases
at from $60 to 870 are in such demand that
you couldn’t find half a dozen—no, nor a
quarter dozen—in the city at any one time,
except shortly after the arrival of a French
line steamer, when a fresh importation might
increase the stock temporarily. Not less than
300 of thwe skeletons are sold every year
right here in this city, where all the import-
ing houses are located. I want to emphasize
the fact that the importing houses are located
here, because a Chicago hop? and a concern
in Boston both advertise eletons of their
own importation, when the custom house re
turns do not show any consignments of such
goods to either house. This attempt to take
away part of New York’s prestige as a trade
center ought to be discouraged.
“In addition to this staple trade in medium
grade skeletons there is an increasing demand
for deformities. Your skeleton with two
fractures of the collar bone, if perfectly
healed, would bring 85 extra, but if accom-
panied by the certificate of a reputable phy-
sician like myself, stating how the bone was
broken, would bring $10 extra. The added
price would be for the certificate as much as
for any intrinsic value of your skeleton. If,
now, you were afflicted with curvature of
the spine, or if you were a woman and the
pelvis were of a novel and unusual shape,
your skeleton might, when well mounted,
bring as much as 817‘ 5 or 8200. There are
cases of deformities and abnormal growths
that are so remarkable as to make the skele-
ton of the subject of even still greater value. -
I could imagine a case very easily where a
man's skeleton would be of much greater
value to his family than he ever was in his
life time. '
“Talking of skeletons reminds me that vet-
erinary surgeons are getting to be a remark-
ably well educated lot of men. and require
about the same appliances for study that
physicians like us do. There is a growiig de-
mand for horse and dog skeletons. orse
skeletons are kept in stock and sell for from
$125to $150. Thereis no regular trade'in
dog skeletons, but when a call comes the
dealer has one made to order, and charges
according to the trouble. If you want one,
you can probably get it for $50.”—New York

TEA STORES’ TOYS.
oussa'o‘iscovssiss MADE av AN
mouusmvs NEWSPAPER MAN.
The Latest Thing in Mechanical Toys-In
Demand by the Tea Stereos-The Cheap
Chromo Crane and the Gift Busi-
nose.
The latest thing in mechanical toys can be
seen in one or two stores on Broadway.
Placed in the show windows, the toy attracts
great crowds. It k of German origin, and it
first made its appearance here before the hol-
idays. It represents an old man in dressing
gown and nightcap endeavoring toannihilate
a rat with something that looks like a tennis
bat. What tickles the rlslbilities of the ad-
miring crowd outside the window is the ex-
pression- of abject disappointment on the old
man’s face as he strikes where the rat ought
to be. The toy when wound up will attract
a crowd and keep pickpockets busy for about
two hours.
Curiosity impelled the writer to seek some
information about the origin and price of
this man and rat combination. He did not
intend to purchase. Being a married man he
gets “rats” at home at first cost. A young
man—further description of him is unneces-
sary, he was a Broadway clerk—smiled and
pulledout a pad, asthough hewas sboutto
take an order. When informed that curios-
ity was the Object of hisvisit his suavity did
not desert him-he was still a Broadway
clerk. -
The courteous clerk explained that his chief
imported half a dosen of the toys last year.
They cost about .6 each. and were sold at
from 88 to 810. He continued: “Our firm,
having a toy factory, resolved to find work-
men in this country capable of making the
same kind of mechanism. They succeeded,
and now the toys are made at a cost of about
$36 a dozen."

“Do you sell many!”
“Yes, as fast aswe can manufacture. A
fewdaysagowe had an orderforfiftyfrom
a western retail tea store.”
“What would a tea storewant with such
things?" ,
“They give them away to purchasers of tea
and co'ffee. These tea men nowadays give
away many things in our line. We sell them
dolls, toilet sets, boxes of paints, and many
other knickknacks. Just go up to Grand
street and seewhat theyhave intheirwin-
dows to give away to customers.” ,
Thanking the urbane Broadway clerk, the
reporter wended his way to Grand street to
findouthowtea stores can afi’ord to be so
liberal.
In due. time. he stepped into a store, the
leading tint of which was vermllion. There
was nothing to distinguish the interior from
a crockery store except the vermilion and a
strong odor of roasted coffee. The reporter
approached a man who predded over the cash
desk and wore a polo cap and a sweet smile,
and who proved to be the manager of the
concern, and asked howtea stores could be so
lavish with crockery and such things to their
patrons.
“Some years ago," said thewearer ofthe
polo cap, “a house in this city began giving
away cheap chromos. Thatwas the begin
ning of the evil. Their trade increased, for
in those days people were chrome crazy. The
introduction of glasware and crockery had
its origin In the inventive brain of a man who
is now very wealthy and is in basilica on

Then began sharp competition. Each tea
man vied with the others in inventing some
new “fake” to catch the foolish housekeeper.

“With every purchase of tea and come we
give tickets in this way. With one pound of
fifty cent tea or with two pounds of thirty
cent coffee we give one whole ticket. This is
the basis. Some articles that we give away
-—such as lamps and clocks—require as many
as twenty-five full tickets. One ticket on an
average is equal to from six to eight cents off
the profits."
“Your profits must be pretty large to per.

“Well, now, I don't mind telling you, since
you seem anxious. Our tone at fifty cents a
pound cost'us about twenty-one cents, and "
our coffee at thirty cents, when we. sell it
ground, stands us about twelve cents apou'nd;
so, you see, even though we 'are' liberal, we
will make a large profit."
“You say when you sell the codes groundl" ,
“That’s what I said. You see, chickory,
rye, and peas do not cost as much as coffee."
“And where do they come in?”
“Ah, I see you are not on to many of the
tricks of our trade. Don’t you know that
when we sell ground coflee nearly half of it
is chlckory, rye, and peas! Great Scott!
