"A Case OF TRANSMISSION.

Tie legal possibilities of TRANSMISSION
Were brought out in recent suit in an
English court. A man who was very i'll
was treated by TRANSMISSION of blood as O
last resort. He recovered, and after time
his gardener, from whose veins the vital
fluid was taken, fell ill. Some one sug-
gested that his contribution to his employ
er might have caused his illness, where
upon he brought suit, claiming $4,000
damages. After a good deal of legal in
vestigation experts were appointed to ex-
anime and report on the case. This took
SO long that the man died before the re-
port was finished. The widow, however,
continued the suit, even though the post
mortem examination demonstrated that
death was caused by cancer of the stom-
ach. The courts decided in favor of the
defendant on the ground that even though
the mans vitality might have been i'm
paired by the loss of blood his voluntary
offer for the benefit of another individual
released the recipient from all financial IL
ability that might be claimed on account
of the transaction. London Correspond

Tribes of Blue Eyed Indians,

Red haired negroes are scarce enough,
but an equally curious freak of nature is
seen in the Griegos Indians, near the City
of Mexico. They gro light complexioned,
and the majority have blue eyes and light
hair. They dress principally in two shades
of blue, and their clothing is good and
we'll made and generally ornamented with
the bead and silk embroidery of which In
dians arc so fond. Their houses arc better
built and furnished than Is usual among
Indians, and many have pianos and other
musical instruments upon which they
play with considerable skill. These Grie-
gos have no commercial or social con-
ncctions with other tribes, holding aloof
from even those who live at the base of
the mountain on which the village is sit
uated. They raise their own food, do their
own manufacturing, have their own
schools, churches and social institutions,
and seldom, or never, marry outside their
own tribe. There is said to be another
tribe of blue eyed, fair haired Indians,
who have tho appearance of Germans, liv-
ing in tho Sierra Madre mountains in the
state of DuranQo

ELECTRICAL DESPOTlSM.
The State Custodian of the Dynamo Holds
the Whiphand In Korea.

tno w n1pilanu horea.
Tho Koreans appear to be a happy &c
lucky people. Their wants arc few, and
they buy little, but one object Of their life
is to defer the evil day of payment as
long as possible. The coin of the com.
mon people is the copper or brass ''cash'
or sapek, 1000 of which go to the Mexican
dollar. These little coins have square
hole in the center and are strung on cords
Of straw, and it is said that whom tray
eler journeys into the interior of the coun-
try he has to take along an extra horse to
carry his money.
1t is related that DR.. Scranton, q med
ical missionary sold to the Korean gov
ernment 1900 Mexican dollars, and the
leash" he received in exchange required
the services of 56 stout men for its remov-
al to the mission house. Under such cir
cumstances it appears rather misfortune
to be paid ones just dues.
There Is one official, however, who suf-
fers no inconvenience either from the ma
tional shiftlessness or the unwieldiness of
the common currency. In Korea at ali
events the state electrician has the whip
hand. Not only is ho tho only European
not paid by the customs who gets his pay
regularly, but he is paid either in bullion
or gold dust. The secret of his pull" is
that the king and all his court are so afraid
of ghosts that they sit up all night. There
are sorcerers and the electric light also to
keep off the ghosts. If the electrician &
pay falls into arrears, the light apparatus
breaks down and cannot be repaired until
no is PAID u.-Philadelphia Press. -

Arrests OF nuss,an h,ena,ca,,ts.

On an average about $50 mendicants Of
both sexes are every week arrested in the
streets of st. Petersburg, while in Mos
cow Odessa, Warsaw and other populous
centcrs tho numbers taken by the police
are proportionately largo. One reason for
the existence Of SO numerous q swarm Of
vagabonds is to be found in the indorse
mcnts in well known red stamped initials Of
the passports of all persons who have suffer-
ed terms of imprisonment, no matter how
short those periods may have been or for
what trivial offenses they may have been
committed. The universal passport system
which obtains in Russia makes these en-
dorsemcnts more prohibitory for the hold
ers than actual police surveillance or than
the ticket of leave system in England. The
passport must always be produced, and in
the case of domestic servants, male and
female laborers, etc., the passports re-
main in the employers keeping so long as
tho servants are. retained. The raidei
nsndicants are returned to their birth
places or Teoomilitted. sHuml,ers of;them
