RULES on SHIPBOARD.
Some Regulations ON n Steamer In the
Seas of the East.

Macao Correspondence Shanghai Mercury.
There are certain things that passengers
must not do who would observe the prom
critics OF travel between Canton and this
port. on the boats of the China Merchants
Steam Navigation Company. They appear
In print on the cabin walls, and lest those
who pay - for the trip may think that
they are not intended for them but merely
for the occupants OF the cabin In which the
fare Is sl.2b the company has chosen the
most prominent place in the first saloon for
their display. This Is copy OF the rules
In the company's own English:
Passengers are not allowed to smoke
opium In the saloon.
Passengers missing any luggage after
the steamer having left the wharf should
report his loss to the compradore. and if
they have any suspicion against any one
on board they should make a search Jointly
with the compradore.
Passengers shall not interfere with the
furnishings in the saloon or soil them in
any way.
IF the saloon boys shall do ANYTHING To
offend the passengers. the passengers shall
not punish him. but inform the captain of
the same.
mo passengers shall laugh or talk loud
ly at night SO as not to disturb the other
passengers"
While quiet demeanor and language are
insured on the Kiangtung by these rules,
and professional travel by BARRIERS is inter-
dicted. there are notions of propriety on the
ship in relation to which the law Is unwrit-
ten. One OF them was recently brought to
the attention of a woman missionary Jour
neyfng this way, who not wishing TO be
reused at the hotel for the early start that
the boat was to make. decided to go aboard
the night before, When shown to her
state room by the native boy. she was not
little surprised TO see in the lower berth
person wearing beard Her effects and
those or the other occupant of the room lay
piled together In one corner. She turned
20 the boy and asked him what 1t meant
You can go IN all plopa." the boy replied
reassuringly. He belong joss pidgin. all
same like you. The man was q mission
ary, and II had not occurred to the boy
that two persons of that calling would wish
more than one state room.

The CairO-Cape Telegraph.
rom the Electrical Review

The construction of the now famous
Cairo-Cape telegraph line Is keeping pace
with the building Of the railway between
Mombasa and Victoria Nyanza. Four hun
dred and eighty miles Of this part of the
line had been completed last December.
and forty-f1ve stations opened. Between
Mombasa and Nairibi. a distance Of $40
miles. three wires are in use. and from the
latter point only two. Between Railhead
and Port Florence. the terminal OF tho
Victoria Nyanza section, a temporary line
Is In use. but from Port Florence to
Eutebbe. the capital of the Uganda protec-
torate, the line Is completed.
An interesting feature Of the construc-
tion OF this line Is the use Of trees instead
Of poles. experience having shown that liv-
Ing trees do not suffer from the attacks
OF the white ants like the poles. Insula-
tors have largely been done away with by
the use OF tarred hemp cords for fastening
the wires Of the trees.

American Parcels Post.
From the Haberdasher.

What retailer has not suffered by the
absence Of an inexpensive method of for
warding small packages? The cost of send
ing goods by express is so great as to con-
sumo the profits Of sale and render 1t
almost impossible for a. merchant to trans
act business by mail. A bill looking to
the establishment Of parcels post by the
government will be introduced at the next
session of Congress. This bill has the in
dorsement of merchants and merchants
leagues throughout the United States.
Think of the convenience Of sending q sin
gle collar or cravat by mail just as you
send a letter. BY this means haberdasher
could keep in constant touch with his pa
irons wherever they might be. and could
fill every order, no matter how small. with
satisfaction to his customer and profit to
himself. - {. -

HypnOtism in the Courts.

From the Chicago News
The use of hypnotism as a means Of
legal investigation was recently sanctioned
by the Client court of appeals in regard to
a case known to the Belgians as the Dor
reman trial." which it was found impossi-
BILE to elucidate by means of ordinary evil
dence. In the course Of certain celebrations
held at Alost. Belgium, in June 1899, NJ.
w. Borreman, merchant of that town,
was seriously injured, and as a result more
than twenty arrests were made. Four u
the defendants were fined and one cone
demned to two months imprisonment
while about $1,000 damages were awarded
to the plaintiff. An appeal was subsequent
ly made on behalf Of the defendants. and
a new trial has been in progress for some
time past.
One of the principal points put forward
by NJ. Borreman was that a result Of
the attack made upon him he suffered
from deafness. Medical examination hav-
ing failed to give satisfactory evidence as
to the degree of deafness from which he
suffered. it's cause, or the probability Of
curing 1t. three experts who had charge
of the case, and among whom is a pro-
lessor OF Client University, submitted that
in order to elucidate these points they
should hypnotic NJ Borreman. The lat
ter having given his consent. the court
sanctioned the carrying out of the propo-
SAL This is the first time in Belgium that
the use OF hypnotism has been sanctioned
for judicial purposes. The investigation
which will follow is expected to bring out
facts of curious interest.
