The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits q foreign nation finds i, hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of uni versa) language was solved centuries ego by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal lan- guage converse with his southerp brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every h. dian learns it in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew Q word of the oth- CTS language. This universal Ian. guaga is, of course. made up of signs.

Cieverness of Chinese.

It is acknowledged that the Chinese are very skillful in making confectlon- cry and possess the reputation of hay ing many secrets. They are able to empty an orange of its pulp entirely, then fill it up with fruit jelly without one being able to find the smallest cut in the rind or even a tiny hole. Indeed, they even empty an egg iD this manner and fill it With Il sort of almond nougat without one being able to find the slightest break or incision In the shell.
