lucrative body The call was actuated 10y
the holding OF the big convention in this
city on May %. when the opponents Of
free coinage living in the south sent dele
gates here 20 hear Secretary Carli sic
speak and to give expression to their
Views on the money question In a series
of well-dehned resolutions. The meeting
OF the opponents of the free coinage OF
silver was looked upon as the Inaugural
tion Of strong ana vigorous campaign
of education along the line OF the dele
gates views. and the bimetallic league
considered IL imperative TO take action
tnat would counteract the influence OF its
opponents.
All the southern ana western states Will
be represented. Delegates have been ap-
pointed I'm scores Of cities and towns, and
each OF the state and territorial represen-
tations Will be just in line with the orr
ginal desires OF the central people It
looks as though at least 800 or 1900 dele
gates will participate in the proceedings OF
the gathering. They are coming from
every county of Mississippi almost every
one in Arkansas and Tennessee. and the

and Alabama will be very nearly as large.

The railroads have put on sale REDUCED
rate tickets, and In several instances will
run special trains for the accommodation
Of those who desire TO come. Five roads
will run specials from all points within $50
miles OF the city. SO strongly have the
promoters Of the convention become i'm
pressed with the immensity Of the crowd
that will be here that they have long since
despaired Of accommodating all in the
auditorium and have accordingly secured
the Grand opera house for overflow meet
ings. 50 that while the convention proper
Is celebrating In the auditorium and
prominent men being heard there, other
statesmen will be addressing audiences in
the Grand opera house. The league pro-
poses to make the resolutions expressive
Of the silver views Of the convention, and
II will take advantage Of the presence OF
distinguished silver leaders and thousands
OF people to do some work IN the line Of
education.

CONCERNING DuPPIEs.
The Shadows Are Not the Souls of tn
 Departed.

The Shadows Are Not the Souls of the
 Departed.
 When I first came to Jamaica the surroundings of that lovely tropical island seemed to my unsophisticated eyes to forbid the conventional ghost, says a writer in the National Review. The tiny wooden boxes, bright with creepers and gay with green and white paint, that for the most part did duty for houses, offered srrely neither space nor attraction to a properly constituted apparition.
 It was surprise, therefore, to find that in the daily life of the negro pop ulation ''duppies" occupied very con- siderable and indeed dignifed position, and were not only recognized as se- rious fact, but were to be spoken of If, indeed, it were advisable to speak of them at all to strangers-with fit ting reverence. Even the more edu- cated were not above a lurking belief in their existence, while for the ordina- ry negro that there were duppies around him was as undoubted a truth as the dear sunlight in which he lived.
 Now it is the general idea of Eng fish people, even those who have lived all their lives in the West Indies, that ''duppy" is simply the negro equiva- lent for our ghost" but after many and patient inquiries from the negroes themselves this found to be mistake.
 To be exact, true ''duppy," although an apparition. is not the spirit or the soul, but only the shadow of the depart ed, the soul being perfectly distinct from its duppy, and gong to heaven or hell, as the case may be, leaving it's shadow or duppy to finger behind on earth, where, unless exercised by certain cere- monies, it may work mischief, or at least cause annoyance to the living. For instance, the soul of a notorious evil-doer, noted Obeah man, for cx- ample, is supposed by them, naturally enough, to go straight to hell for his crimes, but his duppy will remain be- hind him; only being the shadow of a bad man, it will partalzc of his vicious qualities and probably become trans formed into rolling calf," that bug bear of all negroes. A trolling calf is very terrible creature that haunts the hillsidcs and lonely places, to the terror of travellers. 1t has fiery eyes and is accompanied by the sound of heavy, clanking chains. Apart from this, it is shaped much like an ordinary COW. and to be caught by one is death, with the additional horror of being forced aftcrward to become q rolling calf ones self. One chance of escape, however, remains to the unfortunate victim. The rolling calf cannot run up hill, and therefore if Q slope can be reached, so that one is above instead of on level with or below this terrible pursuer, safety is insured. Possibly some dim remembrance of the African buffalo and its habits lies at the root of this strange tradition, for believe a buffalo cannot charge uphill.

QUEER FREIGHT FOR CHINA.
The Skeletons Of Dead Chinese Shipped in
 Boxes Marked "Fish Eoae.'

DOXeS H19rKcQ kSO-lcs
 A curious freight which is shipped exclusively from San Francisco to China is ''fish-bonc," which pays twenty dollars ton. It is sent in large boxes consigned to the Tung Wah hos pital at Hong Kong, but the contents dead Chinamen sent homo for burial. Most of the Chinamen who come to the United States, says the Chicago Record, arc under the care of the Six Con- panies, who sign contract guarantee ing to return the bones of the dead for burial with their ancestors in the celes- tial empire, and the Tung Wah hos carrying out the agreement. They are shipped as fish bones" in order to evade the rule of the steamship com panies, who charge full frst-class passenger rates for tho dead.
 Nearly every ship leaving San Fran cisco for China carries among the steer age passengers number of invalids who hope to live until they reach their native country, but several usually die on every voyage. There is an agree ment between tho steamships and the Six Companies which forbids tho burial of these bodies at sea, and the latter furnishes collins of the peculiar Chinese pattern for use in such emergencies. They are made of slabs, the first cut of the log, so that the sides and bottom and top arc rounded. A dozen or more are carried on each ship, and the sur geoa is furnish with a supply of em- balming fluid.
 When a Chinaman dies at sea the sur geon embalms the body, which is then placed in a coffin, sealed up, and lowered into the hold. The expense is paid by voluntary contributions from the other Chinese passengers, the crowd, and the stewards of the ship, all of whom belong to that race. No subscription paper is passed around, but pan containing Chinese sugar is placed beside tho coffin, and every ChinaInan on board drops in his con- tribution, from dime to dollar, and takes piece of sugar from the pan, which is supposed to bring him good luck and prolong his life. When the ship reaches Hong Kong the cofins are [ delivered to the Tung Wah hospital, which disposes of them to the surviving friends in China. Every Chinaman in the United States is supposed to be registered at the Tung Wah hospital and with the Six Companies at San Francisco.

FLESH REDUCTION.
How It Is Done by a Celebrated German
 Physician.

Physician.
 It is much easier to acquire flesh than to lose it. There is no royal road to beauty for those inclined to plumpncss, and many are the things they are obliged to do to scare of fat, says the Philadelphia Record.
 An Englishman reduced his weight in one year from two hundred and two to one hundred and fifty pounds, and kept it there. He lived on beef, mutton, fish, bacon, try toast, poultry, game, tea. coffee, claret and sherry.
 Dr. Schweninger, the famous German physician, who has established his rep utation as fesh-rcducer through his success in ridding Prince Bismarck of forty pounds avoirdupois in three months, without the slightest deletcri- ous effect upon his patients physical condition, restricts the consumption of liquids at all times, and deprives the ratient entirely of fluids during or within an hour of meals, forbids starch and sugar, and advises most heroic physical exercise.
 Physical exercise will, we all know, reduce flesh. The reason is that in un- usual exercise, such as rapid walking, horseback riding, gymnastics or bicy- cling the blood is more rapidly oxygen nted and the result is the destruction or burning out of the fat, and you may have noticed that great walkers arc never fat, and that people who Hive in high altitudes and mountainous coun' tries, where they walk great deal and consume quantities of oxygen, are al. ways slim

BOAST LIZARD.
A Common Dish Among the Indians Of
 the Mojave Desert

A Common Dish Among the Indians or
 the Mojave Desert
 The Digger Indians and the Flutes live iu the mountains and in the forests on the verge of Death valley. The Flutes are known a. the white Arabs of the desert. Their staple food is lizard flesh. which they consider a great lux-1ry and which they catch on the borders of the valley. These lizards are about two feet long. The Indians call them .'chahwalla" and roast them as cIuCht between hot stones. White men eat them, too, but dress them and boil them over sagebrush fire. They are said to be very good eating and to tas quite like frogs legs.
 There arc no birds in tAis neighbor- hood save the weird, mysterious raven, whose ola;nous voice ftly croaks the fatal entrance of those who brave the tc,rors of the valley. Rowling coyotes add their harsh cries to the sum of horrors about the place. Curious rep tiles. uncannv and hobgolin in appear anee. arc found here. The most deadly creature next to the Gila monster is wlrat the natives call a ''side winker" saalxe. which is peculiar to this dcsolate desert. It is rattler about twenty inches long, which moves from side to side with start ling spring instead of gliding along. Moreover, it has horns, and I don't know but hoofs, too. It is assuredly of the evil one. Scorpions, tarantulas, rAts. horned toads and gnats lend their aid to render Death valley the most ap- palling place on earth. There are mice. too-Inice which live upon centi- pedes--and there are rats with huge ears, sight to scare the dogs.

An Old Phonogra ph.

The antiquity of modern inventions has often been the subject of remark, by way of commentary upon the old saving that ''there is nothing new under the sun" An extreme case Is re- portel by the London News. A peri patetic exhibitor of the photograph in Holland seems determined to distance al competitors. He was exhibiting the machine in the streets of Utrecht, and a number of customers were listening to a selection of tunes. Suddenly the music ceased and there was a pause. Then in loud, clear tone was heard the one word: "Halt." ''What is that?' asked one of the listeners. "That," was the reply, ''is the voice of Napoleon Bonaparte giving an order at the battle of Watcrloor"
