in early youth was circus rider.
dansense and star actress, by which
accomplishments she accumulated
quite q fortune. When the war broke
out she was making great spread
in Washington, though rather on the
shady side of society, and was u prime

genuine Prince, - German. Felix
Salm- Salm, who had volunteered in

wife was princess all the same, and
through her still powerful influence he
was made a Brigadier-General. Many
will remember her spirited style OF
beauty, as she appeared in the reviews
of those days, always dressed in semi
military garb and riding magnificent
ly upon splendid stallion. When the
war was over, and while the army was
being reorganized. she passed win

mission, but she was unsuccessful, for
really the Prince was not worth row
of pins and there were toe
many would-be Colonels, most OF
them belonging to the noble army
of fnvincibles in peace and invisi-
bles in war. If the complete history
of Nine. Salm- -Salm's intrigues in
pursuance of her purpose, were
dragged into print, many fair repu-
tation would suffer among the shining
lights of the United States capital
Afterward she came to Mexico, where
the weak Maximilian was easily won
to her cause. and soon Prince Salm-
Salm was made aide-de camp to the
Emperor. For a time they lived in
clover, but when the crash came Salm-
Salm barely escaped being executed

President. Juarez, to spare both the
Emperor and his aide. She could
not save the former but the royal
family Of Austria was duly grateful.
So it became 10 her advantage to re.

An Indians Sagacity.

In one of the Western States was q
small village of white people.
One of these people came home one
day and found that somebody had
stolen large piece of meat that had
hung up by his door. His neighbors
were sorry for his loss and were talk.
ing with him about it, when an old In.
dian came along and asked what was
the matter. They told him and he
went to the place where the meat had
hung, and looked about carefully.
Then he spoke: 81 do not know who
stole your meat" said he, "but can
tell yon what sort of a man he was.
He was white man. He was short
and lame in one leg. He had dog
and a gum
Of course they all wondered how the
Indian knew.
81 know he was short" said the In.
dian, ''because he moved up this block
to stand upon in order to reach the
meat I know he was lame, because
one foot left lighter mark than the
other when he walked. know he was
a white man, because he turned OUT
his toes; and l know he had dog and
gun, because here are the dogs tracks
and the mark of the gun in the
ground where he stood it up agains,
the house"
Then he told them which way the
thief had gone, and they followed, and
caught him., and got the meat back
again.

OUININE AND OPIUM.
The Value of Cinchona Bark as an Opium
AntidOte.

Antidote.
Mr.. John Ferguson, q well-known
resident of Ceyion and newspaper
proprietor. has addressed a letter to
the secretary of the Anti-Opium So
ciety on the value of sulphate of
quinine, or even the inferior ak kalcids
from cinchona bark, as prophylactics
and tonics. especially in low-lying and
malarial districts, where peopIo are
addicted to the use of opium in order
to relieve the fever depression. The
prevalence of the opium craving in
many parts of the world is due. says
Mr.. Ferguson. to the people being sub
jeet to low type of fever. This is
largely the case in China. In En-
gland it has been shown that the con-
sumption of opium, chiefly in
the form of laudanum, is very
large in the fen districts and
along the lower banks of the
Thames. especially about Gravesend.
A Lincolnshire village druggist stated
some years ago. in q letter published
IN the newspapers. that he sold about
two gallons of laudanum per month
retail, besides sixteen or twenty
ounces of opium itself. mostly 10
women of the poorer classes. who
must pinch themselves seriously in
many ways to purchase the luxury.
Many, he said. consume an ounce of
opium a week. some considerably
more. The main cause of this crav-
ing. according to Mr. Ferguson, is
that the people live in low and mala-
rial localities. and he suggests that
quinine removes the craving and acts
as substitute for laudanum. He
quotes from Mr.. Colquhoun' travels
in China to show that the Chinese
even in remote inland districts along
the Canton river. know the eff cacy of
quinine in superseding the need for
opium, and possibly i'll curing the
taste and desire for it.
A flew years ago the prices of Tuinine
and the cinchona alkaloids were pro-
hibitory to poor people; but the cul-
tivation of the plant in India. Ceylon
and Java has reduced the price of the
best sulphate of quinine from los. 15s.
and even 1Ss. an ounce to half crown,
and even to less. In 1872, 11.457
pounds of cinchona bark was exported
from Ceylon; now the export is from
Is, 900, 900 to Is, 900 900 pounds. But
although the wholesale price of quinine
is so enormously reduced. the retail
prices are frequently still calculated
on the rate from time immemorial of
60 for an ounce. which is purchased
at less than 3s.-Lo7aGon Times.

Typewriting Made Easy.

The new electric typewriter relieves
the operator of every duty except
pressing down the keys. The carriage
moves automatically to the starting
point whenever the end of line has
been reached, and also moves up one
notch OF line at the same time But
the most important office of the new
instrument seems to be in receiving
and transmitting telegraphic dis
patches. 1t is said at the Patent Office
that the instrument can be used both
as a transmitter and receiver of intel
ligence over single wire, no matter
how great the distance may be.
The receiving instrument does
not require the attendance of
an operator. but prints the dis
patch automatically. The instruments
at both ends of the line print the dis
patch sent and so a safeguard against
mistakes is provided. 1t is claimed
that the electric typewriter will be
valuable as a local aid to business.
and offers many advantages over the
telephone. One advantage claimed
for it is that no matter whether a per-
son called up is at his place of business
or not, the message can be printed
through the medium of his typewriter,
and will be there for perusal on his re-
turn. The dispatches printed are in
letter form and not an endless tape.

CHACDEAN BANKS.
The Check System Probably an Invention
of the Babylonians.

of the BabyIonians.
M. R-villout, in con junction with
his brother. has given the results OF
his researches into Babylonian law, as
emb odied in the multitudinous con-
tract tablets that have been brought
from Babylonia. He points out that
in Babylonia and Egypt we find most
of the germs and principles of Roman
law, and that on this account, if on no
other, the legal documents of the val
leys of the Euphrates and the Nile well
deserve study. The Chaldean banks
were already acquainted with the
principle of the check, and the
Babylonian could either open a credit
at his bank or deposit his capital in it
for the sake of security. Mortgages
had been known from an early
period. and the legal rate of interest
was twelve shekels year on each
NINA nina consisting of sixty
shekels. The married woman whose
father was dead had guardian to
manage her affairs and see after her
rights; but, besides the lawful wife,
the Babylonian might possess another
of inferier rank whom he had pur-
chased from her parents at given
price. His rights over the latter. how
ever, were never complete, and ceased
as soon as the parents repaid the sum
given to them. Companies and asso-
Citations of all kinds existed in Baby
Ion. and q prisoner could be released
