MESSAGES IN MERCHANDISE.
Many Instances Are on Record
Among Them Being Some of
Tra0toal Mature.

In regard to the story which has
been going the rounds of the English
papers lately az to Liverpool man
finding message written upon an egg
by the packer, widow in Manit oba,
whom he ultimately married, the Lon.
don Chronicle remarks that many true
incidents of the same kind could be
related. In 1899 message was found
in barrel of apples that had come
from New Zealand. In this message
the packer of the fruit, a young wom-
an. stated that her ancestors, whose
names were given, came from Kent.
and she asked the finder to ascertain
if any of her name and family still
remained in the country. AS stated in
the papers OF the time, the finder was
able to give her full particulars as tc
surviving relatives. But Mr.. Tew. OF
Leeds, a member of a Yorkshire bank
ing family, had at one time a col
lection of these messages in mer.
chandise," some of them being very
tragical, and being survival OF the
days when, u peaceful traders were
caught by Algerian pirates and SOLD
into captivity and slavery. One such
message had been written in blooe
on a coarse canvas bag that had con
tained gum arabic; another appeared
as sort of tattooed stain on a large
cork that had fastened up q
vessel containing altar of roses.

The wsll-known assyriologist. DR..
Hugo Winckler, says the London Ex.
press, has published an account OF
the legation promulgated by King
Amraphel of Babylon, which, so fa1
As is known at present. was the first
book of laws ever given to the world
King Amraphel lived 2,25O years B

contemporary of Abraham, so that
his statutes were drawn up fully five
centuries before the laws Of Moses
They number 2e2, and contain the
following:
IF a woman who sells beverages
gives bad value for the money paid
her, she shall be thrown into water.
IF wife be spendthdift, or if
she otherwise neglects her duties,
her husband may put her away with
out compensation; but if a man put
away his wife for no other reason
than that she has no children, he
shall return her whole dowry.
IF betrothal be rescinded, the

THE COUNTRY NEGRO.
some of the Advantages He Enjoys
Which Are Denied to Hts
City Brother.

The average city negro grows up
in the shade. He is completely over
shadowed by his overtowering envi-
ronment. AS one walks along the
streets of our great cities and views
the massive buildings and sky-seek.
ing structures, he finds no status for
the negro above the cellar floor. The
city negro of educa tion and culture is
forced into menial employment be-
cause higher forms of occupation are
preempted by the more favored
class. There are dozen competitors
for every dollar in sight, and in the
great majority of cases, the negro is
handicapped by his color. says the
Southern Workman.
The country negro, on the con-
trary, is on terms of equality with
his environment. He is not con-
fronted by suggestions Of inequality
at every turn. Nature is mother
who is equally kind and beneficent
to all of her children. An acre of
ground will yield as much for the
black as for the white tiller. The
markets are colorblind. No one in
quires into the color of the producer
of the best produce in the market,
except as a matter of idle curiosity.
No labor organization has yet placed
a boycott upon negro farm labor.
The farm offers for the negro the
only really unhampered field which
is open to him on an unlimited scale.

Sent to Church a. Punishmen mt.


A group of army officers was talking
over experiences at the Grand hotel
one evening lately. There was also IL
naval officer and two or three civilians
in the group. The naval officer had
told of going to sleep in church at
Annapolis, dreaming that he was fall
ing out of buggy, and awakening to
find that his dream came near enough
the truth to net him ten demerit marks.
"That makes me think of an episode
at one of the western army posts some
years ago" said F. G. Stevens, of Oma-
ha, one of the civilians. 81 was not one
of the victims, but had the story from
one of them. The captain at this post
was religious man. and every Sunday
he sent all the prisoners in the guard
room to church. The chaplain was
very long-winded, and the prisoners
rebelled. They finally succeeded in
getting a board Of investigation to
took into the matter. The board de-
cided. after due investigation, that this
part of the punishment was not allow
able, in that it was not only unusual
but also cruel" "That will do for u
civilian" laughed the officers, and two
of them left the hotel for the theater.

DOG WITH GOLD TOOTH.
Philadelphia Canine OF the "BullU

Adornmont.

A well-known Philadelphia pet
stock dealer some years ago hit upon
a very odd and effective way to iden-
tify dog, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The owner of this dog called
on him and said:
Jack, my valuable bull. il running
away all the time. So far he has
been traced and found in each of his
flights, but it has been amatter of
difficulty, and l am afraid that some
day he will be irretrievably lost be-
cause Of the lack of some positive
and striking mark of Identification"
"You want" said the dealer. "a
good identifying mark? Well, I'll tell
you what to do. Go to dentist and
have gold crown put on one of the
dogs front teeth. The crown won't
hurt the tooth; on the contray, it will
preserve it; and always it will be
mark whereby your dog will be
readily known"
The other did as the dealer advised.
and since then there have appeared
from time to time advertisements in
the newspapers that began:

MINT IN THEIR COFFEE.
Mistake Of o Society Leader Taken
for the Real Thing By An.
hitlOua EmudatOrs.

That the advice, watch how others
do and then do likewise" il not always
good to social aspirants, was illus
trated the other evening at a dinner
given by a young matron in honor of
a guest of acknowledged social stand
ing, relates the Chicago Tribune.
When coffee was served, and with it
the indispensable chocolate mints, the
guest was seen to take one of the
sweets and toy with it gracefully over
her coffee cup. Instantly every wom-
an at the table did likewise. Evidently
some new wrinkle of fashion was about
to be exhibited. Every eye was on the
guest and on the mint drop. Determin-
alton to follow the leader and give no
sign that they were not in the habit of
doing this new trick every day was
written on every face. The sudden
calm caused the guest to look up. and
as she did so she inadvertently dropped
her mint into the tiny cup. To her sur
prise series of clinks ran around the
table as each of the rural ones followed
her mistake.
Apprecating the situation. the guest
hastily gulped down her coffee to hide
her mirth.
Later in the evening she heard one
woman remark to another:
81 don't care if it is swell, don't like
mint in my coffee"
"Oh, dear" replied the other, loftily,
''it is really delicious. ! never think OF
taking my demitasse without it,"

FISH COME WHEN CALLED.
Curious Species Brought By q new
York Naturalist to This Coun-
try from Asia,

Otto Eggeling, a naturalist Of New
York, has finally succeeded in import
ing from Asia the first specimens of the
curious fish known as the anabes ever
brought to this country, says the
Times
The special popularity Of the ana bes,
which inha bits the streams of interior
India, is that it travels for miles on
land in search of water when the
streams are dried up.
Lovers OF aquariums have for years
endeavored to secure specimens of this
hsh, but without success, as they al
ways died in transit, especially when
In the vicinity of the Suez canal, ow-
ing to the intense heat.
Mr.. Eggeling conceived the idea of
placing the fish in earthenware vessels,
containing sufficient quantity of
water-soaked earth, and two months
ago he corresponded with friends in
India, who secured several fine speci-
mems and shipped them. The fsh ar
rived last week, and when the earthen-
ware pots were opened, the earth
