Cinnamon Buying Wives.

The Cinnamon of Australia, when
they take a notion to marry, write to a
matrimonial agent in Hong Kong some
what as follows: Il want a wife. She
must be a maiden under 20 years of
age, and must not have left her fathers
house. She must also have never read
a book, and her eye lashes must be half
an inch in length. Her teeth must be
as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon,
her breath must be like unto the scents
of the magnificent odorous groves Of
Java, and her attire must be from the
silken weaver of Ka-la-Ching. which
are on the banks of the greatest river
in the world-the overlooking Yang
tse-Kiang."
The price of a Chinese woman deliv-
cred in Sydney is $3.50, but two Chinese
only cost $500; therefore, the
Chinese import the women in couples.
The importer never sees the women be-
fore they arrive, and then he generally
selects the best one. The other is shown
round to a number of well-to-do Chi
nese, and after they have inspected her
she is submitted to what may be called
public auction.

E CABLE CODE.
An omcial Vocabulary Of P-reconcert.d

An Omcial vocabulary Of P~recuncerted
Language to Be Issued.
AT the International telegraph con-
ference which was held at Buda-pesth
In July 1t was decided to issue a new
official vocabulary of preconcerted Ian
guage. This was opposed by Ameri-
can firms who operate private codes as
the value OF these codes would be de-
stroyed.. The conference adopted an
amendment to its constitution. in order
to provide for these codes, and it has
just beer issued from headquarters at
Berne, Switzerland. Preconcerted Ian
guage Is defined as composed of words
having intrinsic sense, but not COM
blned into Ineligible phrases. Words
IN tnls language cannot contain over
ten characters according to the Morse
alphabet. They must be taken from
one or more of these languages: Ger
man, English, Spanish, French, Dutch,
Italian, Portuguese and Latin. Proper
names cannot be used except with their
meaning in plain language. The or
lglnal sending Office can demand the
production of the sender's code to see
that the rules have been observed.
From a date to be fixed by a future
conference all the words used in pri-
vate kilograms written in preconcerted
language will be extracted from the Of
flc1al vocabulary duly enlarged and
compiled by the International Bureau
OF Telegraph Administrations. The
new vocabulary will include all words
OF private codes, provided they are
true unmutilated words, taken from the
eight languages given above and COM
ply with the above rules. The inter-
national bureau desires all compilers
OF codes and all persons desiring words
from certain codes reproduced in the
official vocabulary, to forward them
before the end of this year to the Inter
national Bureau of Telegraph Admin,
lstrations, Berne, Switzerland.

Or. Foote got his education at the Uni
versity of Michigan and the New York
Medical College. He was born in
Massachusetts, in 1923, and spent most
OF his life in Ohio. He says in his will
that, though ruined three times by
flood and once by fire, his practice has
been successful. A Kansas City Times
reporter who recently visited him at
his home found him a patriarchial old
gentleman, with a long white beard
that concealed the absence of a neck
tie. His head, which was bald except
1or a rim of gray above the ears and
back above the collar, was surmounted
by a large black silk tile. His eyes
beamed with intelligence, and instead
OF the crank that was expected he
seemed a venerable philosopher in his
lair.

Things h May Be Eaten and Things

The cure for dyspepsia rests almost
entirely upon diet alone. Three mod

course, great care must be taken in the

Of any sort. Vegetables need not acc
essarily be excluded, but they should
be taken cautiously. Mutton, poultry
and whitefish are good. New bread
should not even be looked at, and
pastry and cheese are to be regarded
as poison for the time being. Cocoa is
recommended in preference to tea.
Toast and dry biscuits may be eaten
in plenty. Wine, to be of service, must
be really good. AS a rule, sherry, Ma

understood that these few hints are

they will apply to every case, no two

healthy activity, and perhaps walking
is the best, as it is the most natural
exercise for the purpose.-Philadelphia

A CASE OF TELEPATHY.

One Lady Appeared in a Vision at the
Time of Her Death.
A gentleman took a house in Ireland
1or SIX months and was accompanied
thlther by his wife and daughters. The
house was furnished and had plenty
OF bedrooms. Therefore it was decided
not ito use a certain large, long room
with cupboards along one side (Which
had all been locked and sealed UP with
tape) in which things belonging to the
of the house had been put
away. One evening one of the daugh-
ters, going to her room, saw an old
lady wrapped in a shawl walking along
the passage in front of her. The cid
lady appeared to know her Wav and
hurried on without hesitation into the
unused room. The girl called her Sis
ter and they followed the dame into
the room. But all was silent: no one
was there; the dust lying about showed
no signs OF footprints. Shortly after
the same young lady was reading on
the hearthrug by freight. Looking
up She beheld the old lady standing in
the doorway watching her. Greatly
frightened, she sprang up and, rushing
downstairs, was found fainting at the
draWlng-room door. At last the family
returned to Dublin. One day when a
friend was calling the curious incident
which l AVE narrated was referred to.
The young lady very unwillingly told
her experiences. The visitor seemed
much struck and asked for an ac-
curate description of the old lady.
"For,' said she, that house belonged
to two old ladies, sisters, and when
they let their house they went to re-
SIDE at Geneva. One of them, answer
ing exactly to the description you have
given, died at the time you saw her
appear.'-Realm.

A New Siderable Balloon.

At the Berlin Industrial Exposition
there is to be seen a wonderful bal
loon, which is reported to be Siderable
in a remarkable degree. On the 2Sth
and 10Th ult. this tremendous bag rose
to the height of about sixty-five feet
and was propelled in all directions,
even against the wind. The public
was allowed to give the directions, so
that there should be no doubt as to
the genuine powers of the new aerial
vessel. DR.. Wolfert, the designer of
the balloon, claims that it can be
steered against any wind at any alti-
tude, but this has not yet been tested.
The motive power of this elliptically
built balloon is a kind of double-bladed
about three yards. 1t is placed in front
of the basket, while right below the
car is another propeller of the same
dimensions, for upward and downward
movement. These propellers make 500
revolutions per minute. The engine is
of ei%ght-horse power. The monster
balloon is over thirty yards long, and
in the center the diameter is about ten
yards. The basket, from it's shape, is
called a gallerie, and is five yards long.
1t is constructed of bamboo, and is fas-
tened to the balloon in such a way as
to form an integral part of it's bulky
sustainer. Neither part can have sep
arate movement. The method of fas-
tening the two is the secret Of the in
ventor, DR.. Wolfert, who will not say
anything about it. He has made fifty
three ascents with other smaller bal
looms of his construction, the last time
on May 20 from the Royal Department
Of Military Aeronauts' drill ground.
This latest and largest of his progeny
he has christened Deutschland, and it
is limited that the form of the balloon
is not dissimilar from that ordered by
the Spanish government for use
against the Cuban revolutionaries.-

IhlS Is a clause
from the last will and testament of DR..
!. N. Foote, of Argentine. The doctor
~ stlll very much alive, but he has
published his will in order that the
medical profession generally may know
that his body exhibits some remarka-
Die and scientifically inexplicable phe-
nomena, and that he is willing-and in
fact Wills-that his remains after death
snail be investigated by competent
Medlcal experts. He therefore for
mally %bequeaths his body to any medi-
Cal institution of respectable import
ance who will agree to make such in
v~estlgation. The phenomena that DR..
foote considers so remarkable are fully
described in this peculiar document.
AFTER describing some peculiarities Of
minor Importance, he tells some re-
stories about his stomach.
The surgeon who makes the exami-
natlon,' he writes in his will, "may or
may not lind anything abnormal, for of
late years my stomach has caused me
little or no trouble, but some years ago
l suffered much with Indigestion. acid
lty and reorganization. A frequent me-
tallic tinkling, as if an iron or steel rod
was lightly hit in that region, was
heard, which was very annoying, and
after this I was Frustrated by solar
neat, and was unable to labor or retain
food or drink to any extent for thirteen
weeks"
This metallic tinkling in his stomach
IS something that the doctor fails to
understand after much research. There
is no precedent or parallel for it. but
the sound was persistent for so long a
period and was so distinctly audible
that he thinks he owes it to science to
give his body up for examination after
death. Again, he suffers from a con-
seriousness of having a third arm, and
Ills so acutely as to occasion him real
mental distress. Then he feels like a
steam engine" as he expresses it. and
again, like a musical instrument. Of
these latter feelings he goes into this
explanation in his remarkable will:
FOR a period of eight years a noise
resembling the interrupted escape of
steam from a locomotive was heard
with every pulsation of my heart,
which led me to suspect thrombosis
cerebri and greatly annoyed, but dur
ing this time l wa frequently enter
tanned after retiring by hearing two
soft and musical notes of about one
seconds duration each, commencing on
G of the middle scale and ending on D
below.
These sounds were peculiarly me1o-
dious, more so, in fact, than any pro-
duced on organ, piano or harp, and
would often be repeated once a minute
or so for an hour or more. Their orr
gin was, of course, attributed to some
abnormal cerebral condition, but what
that condition was I am unable to even
conjecture and leave it. hoping an
autopsy may shed some light that NAV
benefit the profession and thereby hu-
mainly at large. All the above condi-
tons are now much improved, and it
is perhaps my duty to state that stimu-
lants have contributed more to effect
this than all other prescriptions that I
have tried, though socially and finan-
Gally I am aware of their evil effect.
