Hoods. ~SarsapariIIa
Is the Only
Blood Purifier

One of the %strangest languages in
the world, used for the queerest pur-
poses, is the 'camphor language" of
JOhore, a country of the Malay Pen
insula. 1t has lately been studied and
reported upon by Mr.. Lake, al Eng
fish engineer in the service of the
Sultan of Johore. This language is
called the "Pantang Kapor," or cam
phor language, and is used by the ma
tives and all others who are engaged
gathering the products of the Malay
an camphor tree, and only at that
time. If they use either of the Ian
guageS of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any am
phor, and for a most curious reason.
The camphor tree, DryobalanOps cam
phora, grows abundantly in certain
parts of the peninsula, but only occa-
sionaily contains camphor crystals.
The camphor is not the same as that
obtained from the camphor laurel of
Formosa and Japan, which is n of
the source of the ordinary camphor
Of commerce. 1t is a sort very high
ly priced by the Chinese in the en-
balming of their dead, in incense and
in medicine, and the gum brings much
more than. common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tives believe that each species of a
tree has a spirit or divinity hat pre-
sides over it's affairs. The spirit of
the camphor tree is known by the
name of Bisan-literally "a woman
Her resting place is lear the trees;
and when at night a peculiar noise is
heard in the woods, resembling that of
Il cicada, the Bisan is believed to be
singing. and camphor will surely be
found in the neighborhood. But the
spirit of the camphor tree seems to
be jealous of the precious gum, and
must be propitiated and if she knows
that hunters are in quest of it, she
will endeavor to turn their steps
aside. SO it is necessary to speak il
a tongue which she does not under
stand. For this purpose the "camphol
language" has been invented. 1t con
siSts of a mixture of Jakun and Ma
lay words, but these are curiously al
tered or reversed; and the natives
positively believe that the divinity
of the camphor tree is completely con
fused. The Jakuns who hunt the
camphOr are n of the widest o.
people, but ~inoffensive. They live, to
gether with monkeys, dogs, cats, in
Vulnerable fowls, and perhaps a tame
hornbill in perfect harmony. under
movable leaf shelters built on poles
in the woods.

The Name is Everything.

The many tricks of trade that are
practiced in these times are justified
by a prominent soap manufacturer Of
this city as being positively necessary
to induce a stupid public to buy what
is for their benefit. The article in
which he takes the most pride is a
pure CASTLE soap, purer and better
than that made in CASTLE. He stamp
ed it as American CASTLE and was I'M
able to sell any quantity. The people
would not buy what little was taken
by retail dealers. Under these cir
cumstances the manufacturer changed
the stamp on his soap to n abound
ing in Spanish words which meant
the same thing. Since the change in
stamp the sales have been remarka-
BILE and the soap is ever gaining in

A terrible illustration of lynch law
is reported from a village called Lep-
sheke, in the government of wilma,
Russia, where IA number of peasants
have lynched a robber named Manga
las, under unusually horrible circum-
stances. The robber was returning
home with a number of horses which
he had stolen from the peasants, when
he was overtaken by the latter and
captured, after a terrible resistance.
His captors forthwith tied the unfor-
tunate man to a tree. and proceeded to
beat him with sticks, until he was
covered with blood. The peasants,
on the advice Of an old soldier, then
determined to bury their victim alive.
A deep hole was dug, and in this they
placed the robber in an erect position.
Despite the tears and entreaties of
Mangalas, he was then slowly buried
alive. News Of the deed soon reached
the police, but when the robbers body
was eXtricated from the earth it was
found hat he was dead. The guilty
persons have been arrested.

GULF LEVEL RISING.
In Less Than Forty Thou~and Yea RS
St. Louis May Be SubmerEed.ft

In Less Than Forty Thourand Years
st. Louis May BE SubmerEed.f fl
According to the engineers of the
photographic bureau the level of the
Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than
it was in 1859, and, of course, the en-
crOachment on the surrounding coasts
has been greater or less, depending on
their character. In some places where
the marginal lands are composed of
some high rocky bluffs, this change Of
level has gone IN from year to year
without attracting attention. On the
other Chand, many low-lying points
(sOme that were once inhabited by the
primitive inhabitants or by the pioneer
white settlers) are entirely submerged.
The cause of this change of level has
not as vet been ascertained, but it Is
reasonably certain that it is the re-
suit of either a settling of the dry land
or of a general and uniform rising or
upheaval in the gulf bed. However
this may be. If this aqueous encroach-
ment is steadily maintained KeOkuk
will be a deep-water harbor and st.
Louis and the whole of Missouri will
be entirely submerged in less than
forty thousand years from Jan. 1, 1895.
