Robson during his Australian tour was

that his side shouldn't do the hard

shouted, 'Woman!' Then, seeing that

An Unofficial Order.

Thomas, tenth Earl Of Dundonald, at

tate exactly.

A Queer Chinese Notion.

One Of the beliefs which the Chinese
are slowly unlearning is that foreign
ers use the eyes and hearts of China
men in compromising rare and costly
drugs which are valuable aids in
magic Medicine and magic have for
ages gone hand In hand In China, just
as they once did in Europe. Ignorant
Cinnamon therefore readily believe
such tales The use of eyes Of Chinese
by foreigners In metallurgy Is describ-
ed In work called "a Deathblow
to Corrupt Practices" published in
1870. According to this, when white
Christians had charge of n funeral
they drove all the relatives and friends
from the house. Both eyeballs were
then removed from the corpse, the orr
fees being filed with plaster. This
was called Sealing the eyes for the
western Journey" BY compromising
these eyes with n hundred pounds of
Chinese lead, this veracious chronicle
continues, eight pounds Of silver could
be extracted from It. The sight or
gans of any other people were useless
for this purpose.
