LITERARY SUPPLY.

There is a certain law of eco

but propounds at length some
thing to this effect: "Commo-

meaning of "demand,' he de

down to a simple statement

SO-CALLED CANCER CURE.

Paris Dec. 2S.-Mr. Doyen,
member of the Academy Of
Medicine, who presented in a
sealed envelope an account of
his researches in cancer dnr-
ing the last fourteen years, at
the Academy's meeting last
meeting, issues a call to all
persons possessing animals af-
fected with cancer to send
them to him in order that they
may be inoculated with cancer
microbes, which he says he has
discovered. Mr.. Doyen is now
experimenting with 'anti-can-
cerous serum which he de-
c1ares to be effective in fight
ing the disease, but he desires
to inoculate a few more ami
mails before 1nakieg the an
nouncement of his success.
The doctor said:
"My communication to the
ACADEMY suggests a second
method of treatment, which |
have tried with the greatest
success during the past six
months the injection into the
afflicted part Of a substance
unfavorable to the nouris ment

WHERE WOMEN WOO THE MEN.

In describing some of the Gu
rious customs which prevail
among the Hopi Indians, Cur
ator Culin, who visited the Ho-
pis in Arizona last summer for
the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, said that the women are
held in higher esteem than in
most Indian tribes, and they
rather than the men, do the
wooing. When a Hopi maiden
decides which Of the eligible
young men of the tribe she
wishes to marry, she goes and
sits in his house and grinds
corn until he is sufficiently i'm
pressed by her industry to mar
ry her.
After the ceremony which is
an elaborate one, the couple go
to live in the wife's house. If
she tires of her husband she
can obtain a divorce by merely
throwing his saddle out Of the
house. After marriage the
house, fields and all their prop
erty except the herds, belong
to the wife. The Hopis are
very indulgent parents. The
right Of the children to do as
they please is never ques-
toned.

LEAD FOR GOLD.

A suit has been brought in
London by the London Bank
of Mexico against several trans
portation companies to deter
mine the responsibility for the
loss Of two boxes of gold coin
valued at $4,000, which were
stolen in transit from London to
the banks branch at Lima,
Peru.
The London bank of Mexico
shipped seven boxes. about five
years ago, each containing 5000
sovereigns, to the bankratLi
They came to New York by the
Royal Mail Line. Here they
were transferred to the Panama
Railroad Company, which car
ried the boxes to the Isthmus
of Panama, where the Pacific
Steam Navigation line took
them and carried them to
Lima.
When the boxes were opened
at the Lima bank it was found
that two of them had been sto-
len and boxes containing lead
shot had been substituted. All
the boxes were similar in
shape, size and weight. The
bank officials say that the ship
ment was expected all along
the line and that this offered
the opportunity for the substi
tuition.
Soon after the robbery be-
came known two employees
Of the Pacific Steam Naviga-
ton Company were arrested
charged with having commit
ted the robbery. It was found
that one of the men suspected
had bought a plantation in
South America and that both
had resigned their places soon
after the theft.
The London bank immedi-
ately brought suit against the
carriers and the courtappointed
a commission at the instance
of the plaintiff which went to
Peru to collect evidence. A
! representative of the law firm
of Sullivan & Cromwell, actin 9
for the Panama Railroad, was
also sent to collect evidence
to be used at the trial, which
will come up in a few weeks
The bank loses nothing be
cause of the theft, the trans
porting companies being re.
sponsible for safe delivery.

FOND OF THE CIRCUS.

The Federal revenue from
chewing gum is more than
S 100000 year and is collected
through inthrnal revenue tax
es. The theatrical licenses fees
collected in the same way
amount to $47, 900, the taxes Of
bowling alleys amount to $444, $4444
GOO and the taxes collected
from circuses were $11, 744 last
year.
The circus is an established
form of American amusement
and the disparities of the reve-
nue. of it in the various States
are a source of much snprise.
The State which pays into the
Federal treasury the largest
revenue from circus taxes is
the Sunf1ower State of Kansas,
with a total last year of $1,000.
Iowa paid $929.OO, Nebraska
$500, Missouri $675, Illinois $64O,
Pennsylvania $3.50, Ohio $525,
Michigan $3.50, New York $40,
West Virginia $425 and Mary
land $415.
The Southern, New England
and Pacific States contribute
little to the Government reve-
nue. from circuses, for the rea-
son probably that this form of
entertainment, though popu-
lar among them, is compare
lively rare. Colorado yielded
only $50 lasl year in collections
from circus troupes and South
Carolina, which has a larger
proportion Of colored popula-
lation than any other State, and

DE VETS BLOW.

London, Dec. 28.-In de-
spatch to the War Office, Lord
Kitchener gives furtherdetails
of the action at Twefontein on
Dec. "a, when Gen. De Wet
rushed the camp of Col. Fir
man, who commanded four
companies of Imperial 7 Youman-
ry. He says:
"The column was encamped
on solitary kopje whose
southern side was almost prec-
ipitous. The outposts on the
northern side were wellpushed
out The position, which was
naturally a strong one, had also
been entrenched. The night
was moonlit but cloudy. De-
tails had not been received, but
it is stated that the Beers
mbed the precipitous south
ern side and collected near the
top.
At two O'Clock in the morn
lug the Beers suddenly at
tackled the pickets on the sum
nit in superior numbers. Be
fore the men in the camp were
able to get clear of the tents the
Beers rushed through, shoot
ing them as they were coming
out. The officers were shot
while trying to stem the tide.
Lieut.. Harwitch, who worked
the pompom, was shot through
the heart There was no pan
ic among our men. Ali did
their best.
Including the casualties,
half the column is now at
Glands River bridge. The re
mainder are prisoners. Two
wagon loads of dead and woun-
ded Beers were removed from
the scene of the action. The
Beers numbered 1900 and
were under command of De
Wet, who behaved well, 1eav-
ingmen to attend to the wound
ed.
The Imperial Light Horse,
which was fourteen miles dis
tant, arrived OF $40 A. NJ, and
pursued the Beers, but without
effect. :
The War Office prints a list

was thought was her duty to

adds the correspondent, that
Austria's main concern was to
learn the reply to Great Brit

that of France, which in its
turn involved that of Russia.
