handicapped in their trade with China
on account Of the many dialects that
are spoken in that country. But these
d1thculdes have been removed long
ago, for t1ourishing trade has been
carried on with the fowery kingdom
by the English for many years. In
order to make themselves understood
the English merchants have adopted
a jargon known as ptdgin English,
which Is readily understood by all
Cinnamon who have occasion to do
business with the Brttishers or Ameri-
cans.
Pidgin English means 'business,'
English, and it is used in all of the
seaport towns Of China. 1t Is a queer
sort Of a targon, with no attempt At
grammar, infection or conjunction,
but Is literally word-for-word trans
ladon. All that Is necessary for a
Chinaman to do in order to converse
by means Of it Is to acquire a few
hundred words, with the grammar
modified to suit his own language, In

N-RAYs SHOULD BE PINK.

They Indicate a Good Life, says DR..
Hooker.
The Lancet publishes a letter from
DR.. Hooker on the results of three
years experiments with the Blondlots
N-rays emitted by the human body.
DR.. Hooker says he has established
the fact that these rays differ in color
according to the character and tenn
permanent of a person, and also that
the rays are not merely heat vibra.
tions' as he proved by passing rays
from his own hand through the fore
arm OF a corpse to a prepared screen
which Immediately showed increased
luminosity. In reference to the diff
fering colors of the rays, DR.. Hooker
says:
Rays emanating from a very pas.
sionate man have a deep red hue.
One whose keynote in life Is to be
good and to do good, throws off pink
rays; an ambitious man emits orange
rays; deep thinker throws off deep
blue; lover Of art and refined sur
round1ngs, yellow; an anxious, de-
pressed person, gray; one who leads
low, debased life, muddy brown
rays; devotional, good meaning per-
son, light blue; progressive minded,
light green, and physically or mentally
Ill person, dark green rays"
DR.. Hooker admits that his state
ment may be received at first with
a smile Of incredulity, but he is con-
hdent 1t will sooner or later be accept
ed as fact. He further says he has
proved that Nrays are not only given
on by the human body, but by objects
which have been in contact there
with. He obtained this impression
from a letter thirty years old, which
proved that the rays are radioactive
and retain their power on the paper on
which writing is made.-London Ca

Vast Tracts of Land In the Southwest
Being Given Up to Farming.
Conditions in the great ranch coun-
try Of the Southwest were never in
better shape for the homeseeker and
investor, says s. A. Hughes, general
immigration agent Of the Frisco Sys-
tenn, who has just returned from an
extensive trip through Texas. The
cattle ranches are being generally cut
up and sold out in small tracts to
farmers from the East and the North.
One railroad system has been carry
ing about $500 homeseekers into the
cheap land districts along It's line each
month for the last two years, and the
other southwestern roads have been
doing nearly as large a business. Con-
sequently 1t Is safe to say that Okla

kansas have increased at the rate Of
10000 settlers a month. The invasion
Of the ranch lands has come from

In recent years the cattlemen have
been feeding their cattle IN pens and
fattening them on crops grown by
farmers. Hence it is no longer neces-
sary to devote the grass products of
twenty acres of land to fattenipg one
steer. Cattlemen have no further use
for the land, and are selling it ur
prices of from So to $15 an acre,

An Alaskan missionary makes a re-

the needs of his calling. He asks for
"a peck Of spectacles and ye-glasses."
A few years ago he made a similar re-
quest, and in response received a large
quantity. The supply is running short,
and there are frequent applications for
glasses from people to whom they
would be a great boon. The glasses
would not only minister to comfort,
but aid some persons In gaining a
livelihood.
