How did people send messages before the
art of writing was understood?
Some suggestions on the subject can be
obtained from the methods used by the
primitive races of today. For example, In
the Yoruba country, west Africa, the ma
tives send messages by means of shells,
feathers, peppercorn, stones, coal, razors,
powder and shot and many other things.
The meaning of each subject chosen is
known, and all of them together make up
sort of "code' by which intelligence re-
lating to anything whatsoever may be
transmitted.
Simply by means of cowrie shells these
savages ore able to conduct the most elab'
crate correspondence They are strung on
bits of grass fiber, and by the manner OF
their arrangement may be made to convey
the widest variety of meanings.
One shell is held to signify defiance; two
others, strung face to face, mean friendli
ness, but pair of cowries strung back tc
back are to be interpreted ms an expression
of enmity.
Two cowries, with a feather fastened be
tween them, say "Come as quickly as you
can fly."-Yankee Blade

The Epidemic Discussed.

PARIS, Sept 23.-In the Academy OF
Medicine Wednesday night the cholera
epidemic was discussed at length. Dr.
Peter reported from the Necark hospital
10S cases, of which forty-four had been
fatal. Persons of strong vitality, ha
said, enjoyed almost complete immunity
from the disease. The electric and mag
netic conditions of the air influence the
spread Of the disease. He had found
that ice bags on the spine were the best
remedies for cholera cramps. In speak
ing of the diversity of microbes, DR.
Brouardell said that it was still undo

Free Coinage In the Platform.
Spokane Review.

SpOkau0 Review.
1t is understood that Nelson Bennett carried
with him to Minneapolis plank which he will
endeavor to have grated upon the platform,
advocating the free coinage of the American
silver product. Mr. Bennett viii waste both
his time and his energy If he carries out his ex-
pressed determination to push this resolution
before the convention. Free coinage, to prove q
success, must come either by international
agreement or by the adoption by the United
States OF an absolute free coinage law The
crowning purpose of free coinage is to make the
silver dollar worth dollar abroad as well as at
home The advocates of free coinage, men
who have made profound study of the
question, contend that the moment the United
States announced its intention TO maintain the
two metals at parity, the price Of silver abroad
would advance to the price that ruled in the
United States, less the cost of transportation
across the ocean. lust as the price Of wheat in
the United States, plus the cost of Transports
ton, IL the price that rules in Liverpool None
of the able advocates Of free coinage take any
stock in the American product " scheme, so it
is difficult to see where Mr.. Bennett expects to
find support for his resolution. The odds are
that when he gets upon the ground and finds
how hopeless is the effort, he will quietly drop
the matter and turn his attention to something
more practicable
