In some parts of Siberia, China and other

chestnuts are cooked, ground into meal

countries of India, Egypt, Arabia and Asia
Minor for making bread. Rice bread Is
the staple food of the Chinese, japanese
and a large portion of the Inhabitants OF
India. In Persia the bread is made from
rice flour and milk; II is called "Lawash."
The Persian oven is built in the ground,
about the size of barrel. The sides are

THE CABANUELAS.
Mexican Superstition That Is n
Homemade Weather Bureau.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
In the Northern section of the Republic
of Mexico the pastoral classes still cling
to native superstition. 1t IS colloquially
known as the cabanuelas, and is in effect
homemade weather bureau. The caba-
nuelas commence to take effect on New
Years day and continue during the entire
month of January.
The believers in this system of meterolo-
gy sit up on New Year eve. not for the
purpose of drinking glasses of eggnog to
each others health as the bells chime in
the newborn year, but for the purpose of
seeing from which quarter of the heavens
the new year arrives. The clouds are
watched carefully, and the first break in
their masses, after the midnight hour has
struck, opens the way for~the entrance of
the new year. The quarter exerts a general
influence on the weather which is to be
expected for each particular month IS to
be ascertained as follows: The weather
which prevails on the first twelve days of
January indicates the average weather to
be expected during the next twelve months
and these are called LAS cabanuelas al der
echo" Again during the next twelve days
from the 18th to the oath of January. the
months are counted backward and are call
ed LAS cabanuelas al reeves" From the
18th to the 3Oth of January inclusive. the
days are divided into two parts, from mid
night to noon of the 18th being January
and from noon to midnight of the same
day representing February, and so on 10
midnight of the Both. This leaves twenty
four hours to be divided up among the
twelve months exactly as the first twenty
four hours to be divided up among the
twelve months exactly as the first twenty
four days were. Each hour representing a
month, from midnight to noon, being "las
cabanuelas al derecho,' and then counting
backward from noon to midnight of the
31st each hour to month '1as cabanue-
las al reves." In order to illustrate how
this complicated system of weather bu-
reau operates a sample case may be given:
The Sd of the month corresponds to the
third month. March. The 18th will, there
fore, be December, and coming backward
with ''las cabanuelas al reves," December
will be the 18th and March the 22d. In like
manner March will be represented by the
twelve hours from midnight TO noon of the
26th, and by the hours to a. m and 9
to 10 p. m. of the 31st. Now, should the
weather during these days and hours be
the same-that is, should it all be shine or
all rain, etc.-it is considered by the 'ca
banuelistas" as an infallble sign that that
is the kind of weather that will prevail
during March of that year, and the farmer
can govern himself accordingly. Should
however, weather during the different nor
lions of January assigned to March differ
then the weather during that month viii
be variable, and those Versed in the caban
uelistic science have a full code of rules
for ascertaining what portions of the
month will be rainy and what days will be
fair

SWALLOWED MS TEETH.
Emetics Useless, hut the JOItIng of
an Ambulance Effective.
From the New York Times.


From the New York Times
Francis Elliott a clerk employed at
Washington Market had much trouble
early yesterday morning, at his home, 1889
First avenue, with three false teeth, which
he swallowed while asleep.
When he retired on Friday night he was
suffering from a severe cold. and at 2
o'clock in the morning, when he awoke
with severe pains In his chest, he
thought he had swallowed his teeth, but
his wife said the idea was nonsenslcal.
She said the pain in his chest was due to
his cold, and she applied a mustard plas-
ter. When 1t did not relieve the pain, I'll
lott jumped up to look for his teeth, and
found them missing.
Mrs. Elliott then called out OF the win
dow 10 policeman who rang for an ambu-
lance. Meantime she gave her husband
an emetic without result. When the am
bulance surgeon arrived he administered
a stronger emetic which was equally use
to the hospital.
The jolting of the ambulance was the
balm that saved Elliott for just before he
arrived at the Presbyterian Hospital, he
had fit of coughing, and dropped the
teeth on the ambulance floor. When he
got to the hospital he was put TO bed suf-
fering from laceratlon, caused by the
teeth, the shock from the accident, his
cold, and the pain caused by the mustard
plaster

How LOndOn's COuncilmen Dresses.

The Tailor and Cutter sent its special
commissioner to the opening sitting OF the
London County Council. He was able to
report favorably upon that body as a
whole, compared with parliamentary
members" The Moderates seemed TO set
the best exs nipple, though one distinguished
Progressive is praised for "a black frock
of good proportions that hung evenly from
the shoulders" He was among more than
ten righteous ones whose virtues of dress
redeemed the alterations Of the Labor
wing Of The party. But, after all. as our
contemporary suggests. a higher standard
IS required of the London County Council
