FOREIGN FrENDs.
Numbering Travellers by Means Of
Opium and Chloroform.

The New York Sun writes about the
gangs of miscreants who travel over the
European railroads offering drugged re-
freshments to travellers of opulent APP
pearance. If the traveller refuses the re-
freshment, the robber waits for an oppor-
tunity to hold chloroform under his
nose.
An overdose of chloroform, which re-
suits in death, is not unfrequently adj
ministered, and the murderers are never
caught. On one French railroad two
travellers were found dead from some IN
applicable cause in one day. The deaths
were attributed to apoplexy or heart dis
ease, but there is very little doubt that
the deceased persons had fallen into the
hands of the chloroform gang.
There are also opium gangs, whose
work is less deadly, but not less effective
from the robbing point of view. The
members of this gang are provided with
cases containing cigarettes or cigars
soaked with opium, which they offer to
passengers they intend to rob.
The methods of these ingenious vii
lains are apparently borrowed from the
East, where ingenuity in crime has been
highly developed during period of sew
eral thousand years. There poison pure
and simple is used.
The following notice has recently been
posted in all the stations of the Eastern
Bengal Railway
travellers are warned against accept
ing liquid or solid refreshment from per-
sons unknown to them, as many persons
make a trade of poisoning travellers.
They first enter into conversation with
the latter in a sarai or elsewhere, and then
endeavor to gain their confidence by say
ing that they are to be travelling compan-
ions to the same station. When they ar
rive at a place suitable for their designs,
they offer the travellers poisoned food, or
poison the drink or food which the trav-
clers are about to take; then they make
their escape after plundering them.
Sometimes they throw poison into the
water of the travellers as they draw it from
the well; at other times, they poison
sweetmeats bought at bazaars, or else
ready cooked food"
This is certainly the kind Of literature
calculated to interfere with the monotony
of travelling for those who are alone, sep
arated by thousands of miles from their
families or friends. The knowledge that
such notice is considered necessary by
the railway company would scarcely reas-
sure those families. The rapid progress
which the Bengalee has made in learning
the English language has opened up a
new field of industry to him.
1t would be worth while for the French
and other police to inquire whether the
chloroform and opium gangs do not
themselves hail from the East. The de-
velopment of this branch of crime in Am
erica is next in order. The place is get
ting two crowded for road agents and
old-fashioned highwaymen.

A Tricky Medicine.

Hydrate of chloral is very tricky
medicine. The first time you take it for
insomnia the modest little dose gives you
sleep as soft and sweet and natural as
that of healthy child, and you wake
clear minded, vigorous, and without any
latter Effects So with gradually d.
minishing efficiency the drug works
through succeeding experiments; but by
and by you find that TO produce sleep you
must steadily increase the dose. And,
then, without warning, the mysterious
fluid seems to reassert over the constitu-
ton its pristine power, and the greatly
increased dose puts you so soundly to
sleep that you never awaken in this world

A Shrinking Desert.

Already the area of CALIFORNIA; desert
lands is shrinking like the waters OF Lake
Tulare, and it will be only few years
before it will no longer be seen ON the
maps of the State. Every day people are
finding out that desert does not mean
irreclaimable, and that underneath
the gray and drab desolation Of
these lands lies the richest of fertility
All the elements of productiveness are
latent there, and only need the revivi-
flying influence of water to wake into
activity and usefulness. Eastern capital
lists have not been slow to see this and to
act accordingly. The latest evidence
comes from Chicago, where, it is said, a
gigantic scheme is on foot for irrigating
over 300, 900 acres of desert land in
Southern California. This is to be accom-
plished by impounding the waters from
the mountains in immense storage reser-
voirs, whence it will be conducted to the
land by system of pipes, bitches, and
fumes. This is just what has been done
at Riverside, Redlands, Los Angeles,
Pasadena, Fresno, and score of other
places, where the results have been most
gratifying and the profits ample San

Race Between an Air Ship and a
Train.

As the Spencer war balloon, inareccnt
ascent from the Royal Military Exhib-
ition, now being held in England,
reached Plaistow a train was passing
through bound at Shoeburyness. On
the arrival of the train at Shoeburyness,
to the surprise of the guard, the balloon
lists were quietly waiting for him to take
them and their machine back to London,
the balloon having accomplished the
journey in twenty minutes less than the
train, says an exchange. The voyage
through the air was very interesting, and
when at an altitude of 1900 feet, as re-
corded by the aneroid barometer, the
throbbing of the steam engine could be
distinctly heard, also the report Of a
sportsman's gun, accompanied by the bark
Of dog. The travelling was at the rate
of about TWENTY-FIVE miles an hour, but
to the aeronaufs the balloon was appar-
emily stationary, and it was with great
surprise that, on emerging from the
clouds, they found what distance had
been actually covered.-INew York Tel

Curious Race.

An interesting paper was recently read
at meeting of the China branch of the
ROYAL Asiatic Society, at Shanghai, by
DIR. Macgowan, the well-known scholar,
on the aborigines whom the Chinese
found ON the Yellow River in arriving
from Akkad. These people, unlike the
Chinese, were destitute of civilization.
The Chinese invaded their country before
the invention of the cuneiform writing
of Akkad, and used knotted cords or
ssauipos" in keeping records. These
quipos, according TO Dr. Mcgowan,
were the basis of the archaic annals, and
from them the earliest form of Chinese
written characters was developed. The
prae- Chinese race had several curious
customs and practices Of reformation
such as drinking through the nostrils,
and substituting dogs teeth for their
own front teeth. They also fattened
the head like the Chinook Indians Of
British Columbia, and they attempted to
raise a polydactylous race by destroying
all children born with the usual number
Of fingers and toes. The result was q
tribe with twelve fingers and as many
toes. Amazons also existed among them,
and ''gynarchy,T . or political state, in
which women were dominant over men.
To this day among the original tribes
the chieftaincy belongs to women.-lLon-

A Bankers Experience With Brig

Signor Arrigo, one of the wealthiest
bankers and most extensive landowners
OF Sicily, has just effected his
release from a captivity of twenty-one
days in the mountains by the payment of
a ransom of one hundred thousand dol
lars to the brigands who had kidnapped
him. Twenty-one days had elapsed be-
fore the negotiations on the subject were
completed, and during this time the cap
tive millionaire lived in mountain cave,
sleeping on bundle of hay, and forced
to content himself with a diet of black
bread, fruit. and a cheap, but very pow
erful Marsala wine. On the day of his
release, he had not gone far when he hap
pened to meet patrol of three carabini-
eri So ragged, unkempt, and generally
disreputable did he appear to them, that
the worthy gendarmes were convinced
that he was one of the band of banditti
for whom they were hunting, while he
was equally confirmed in his belief that
the gendarmes were nothing but brig
ands in disguise. 1t was not until the
police-station at the gate of Palermo was
reached that the carabinieri became as
sured of his identity and consented to cut
the cords with which they had secured
him. Argonaut.

Why DO The Heather Rage.

Not long ago the British ambassador
at the Persian court publicly presented
a copy of the Bible to the shah At once
there was an outburst of rage among the
Mohammedan population and the guard
of the British legation was doubled
What is the matter with the Mohamedans2
Suppose the Persian ambassador should
bring a magnificent copy of the koran to
the queen of England or the president of
the United States; and suppose the Chi
nese ambassador should follow with the
writings of Confucius; suppose someone
else should present copy of the book of
Mormon and others should bring volumes
containing the writings of Zoroaster and
Buddha; would there be a riot or an earth
quaker All these gifts would probably
be received with thanks and perhaps de-
posted in some great library and left to
slumber there in peace till disturbed by
the research of the curious. Christianity
can afford to hear what men say and read
what men write. 1t can tolerate free
speech and free discussion. It's foun-
dations are too broad for panics; but
when the Bible appears on the scene it
seems to just set the devil crazy to do some
thing to oppose it. Armory.

The Value of Oysters.

The Maryland Oyster Commission has
been examining the oyster-beds of that
State, and finds the possible wealth in
them far greater than has ever been
imagined.
MARYLAND leads the Union in the pro-
duction of oysters, yet the industry is
declared to be undeveloped even there,
aud awaiting more systematic methods.
The thousands Of acres suitable for
oysters in Chesapeake Bay can be made
more valuable and productive than any
acre of any truck farm in the State.
The area Of oyster-beds in Maryland is
over 1913, $50 acres, or 1913 square miles,
but it is only small proportion of the
land suitable for such purposes. The
commission finds at least a thousand
square miles, or GAO, 900 acres, equally
adapted for oyster planting. Much of
this ground would yield, il properly cul-
tivated, an annual oyster crop of fully
81, 900 per acre, and the minimum profit
Of the entire district, under any system
of cultivation, would be 500 per acre, or
$64, 900, 900 annually for the entire oyster
district.
Rhode Island, which has very small
oyster area, is getting from $500 to 5000
an acre from 1t.
Next to Maryland, no State in the
Union has finer opportunities for oyster
culture than Louisiana, which, in its
numerous bays and so-called lakes, has
an area suitable to this industry even
greater than Maryland.-INew Orleans
