A COLUMCIAN CUGTOM HOUSE. Foreign Goods to Ite Int In Charge ol ETVoslLion Directors. Question of the method of administer 'ng the customs at tho port of Chicago m goods imported for use at the world's air, which has been uutior consideration y the oftieials at Washington, was set led by the atioption of the policy sng fested by Collector Clark, who received i communication to that effect from As sistant Secretary of the Treasury Ipaulding recently. Provision will be .lade for the inspection of goods at he fair grounds by the world's fair di ectors, who will give a receipt to the ollector of customs, describing the roods, their' nature and place of de posit, and at the close of the fair returns ill be made accordingly. Exhibits will be received duty free, nd what shall constitute an exhib' . ill be decided by the directory. Gooo. .'hich are to be sold on the grounds vill be stored in warehouses on the .-rounds and duty paid as goods are Irawn. Exhibits sold subject to de ivery at the close of tho fair will have luty collected when purchaser takes lossession. Exhibits are to be immedi .tely placed in their proper department md kept there. This method, it is .bought, will do away with the trouble xperienced at Philadelphia, where the ustoms authorities collapsed entirely rom having neglected to draw a dis inct line between exhibits and dutiable nerchandise. MAY BE WASHED OUT. Dyspeptics to Have Fresh Start If S) Meal Its Not IMgeUed. During the past several years physi cians Luve tried, with gratifying success, a novel treatment for dyspepsia and can cer of the stomach by , washing out tho stomach. The process is very sim ple and not dangerous. A long, flexible pipe is passed down the throat until one end is In the stomach. The upper end has a funnel attached, into which hot water is poured until the stomach is filled. The weight of the water in the pipe and funnel gives a hydraulic pres sure sufficient to slightly distend the stomach. The pipe has an aperture big enough to hold a lead pencil. After the stomach has been filled the funnel end of the pipe is turned down until It is lower than the bottom ot tho stomach, and the stomach is emptied as a barrel of any fluid is emptied through a siphon. The process may bo repeated several times. The result Is that tbe undigested food and mucus are washed out, and tbe hot water closes the blood vessels, and reduces inflammation. Tbe relief is Im medi .to. The dyspeptic may have bis stomach washed out before a meal, so that he can take a fresh start After the lapse of s sufficient time for ordi nary digestion, the stomach may be washed out again. The process, says the New York Sun, has been in use at the New York Hos pital for some time. The stomach pump has been mainly used in cases of poison ing, and is considered to be the first es sential before administering antidotes, but they are so seldom used that few physicians have them. Recently in a case of poisoning three prominent phy sicians wcro applied to for the use of a stomach purnp, and neither of them bad one, and tbe patient bad to be takes k the hospital. BACKED OUT AT THE ALTAR. Bow a Tonne; Englishwoman Thwarted Her Father's Matrimonial Plans. If all the young women were like Miss Amy Lambert itwould be a train ing to parents in the way they should go. Mr. Lambert, the father of Miss Amy, was a signaler in the government telegraph ofllce at Alla habad, India. Probably he had been influenced by what he saw of life in India. At any rate, he regarded his daughter much as he did the telegraph instruments in his office. With those he pressed a button and it recorded j whatever he wanted it to. lie ex pected Miss Amy to do the same, j Finally Mr. Passana, a dusky gentle-1 man in the employ of a native prince, met the daughter of the signaler, and she pleased him. She was so eminent ly satisfactory to his fancy that he forthwith announced to her father that he wished to marry her. j Tha telegraph operator thought it , over. Court gentlemen, even if rather swarthy ones, were not to be had every day, and it behooved the father of a family of daughters to allow possible i wooers to come early and often. So ha announced to Miss Amy that her future was arranged for and to pre pare for the wedding on such and such a day. When the astonished young woman recovered from her euprise she assured her father that she liked not the rajah's brunette courtier, and that to the best of her knowledge the wed ding would not come off. Her father pooh-poohed this outburst, told her to draw on bim for all she needed for a suitable. trousseau, and took himself off to drink with his future son-in-law. Then it was that Miss Amy Lambert made up her mind as to a course of ac tion. During the succeeding weeks, although she repeatedly and decisive ly told her father that she could not and would not be happy with Mr. Passana, she nevertheless, finding that no hoed was paid to her remonstrances, joined with interest in the prepara tions for the wedding. At last the day of the ceremony arrived. Miss Amy Lambert, dresed in a beautiful new grown, and with a pleasant conscious ness that she had more new clothes at home than she had ever dreamed of possessing all at once, rode to the church in company with her father, who, beholding her placid and satisfied face, told himself what a wise father he had been. "All one needs," said the telegraph operator to himself, "is a little firm ness. Silly girls should never be al lowed to have their own way in these matters.". . And all the time the bride-elect smiled softly to herself, as if her thoughts were peculiarly pleasant. The clergyman, licv. Ilrook Deedes, thought he hod never seen a happier looking couple and began the cere mony with the warm expectation of a goodly fee. He bowled merrily along until he reached the question: "Will you have this man to be your wedded husband?" He expected a faint "I will," but was almost paralyzed to re ceive an emphatic negative from the young woman, who at tho same time handed him a document Betting forth some of her objections. Of course the wedding did not come off. The guests dispersed in various directions, some of them going to con dole with the determined young wom an's father, who was expected to be much downcast. Strange to say, how over, he was so delighted with his daughter's Btrategy that he was quite hilariousover the affair and did not even begrudge her the fine new wardrobe she had acquired. What became of the bridegroom history (in the shape of tho Allahabad News) docs not record, but after this he will probably not at tempt to marry an English girl against her will. A BEAR'S REVENGE. An Old Grinly Lies In Walt (or the Pos sible Transgressor. . Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, writing of grizzly bears in his book, "The Wilder ness Hunter," relates a story told him by Dr. Merrill, of the United States army. "A remarkable incident," Mr. Roosevelt calls it. Dr. Merrill, in company with an old hunter, was fol lowing an elk trail in a deep, narrow canyon. On turning a corner of the canyon, the two men were charged on by an old she grizzly, so close that it was only by good luck that one of their hurried shots disabled her and sent her tumbling over a bank, where she was easily finished. They found that she had been lying directly across the game trail on a smooth, well-beaten patch of bare earth, which looked as if it had been dug up. refilled, and trampled down. Examining this patch curiously, they saw a bit of hide' only partially cov ered at one end, and on digging they found the body of a well-grown grizzly cub. Its skull had been crushed and the brains licked out, and there wcro signs of other injuries. The hunters pondered long over this strange discovery, and hazarded many guesses as to its meaning. At last tliey decided that probably the cub had been killed and its brains eaten, cither by some old grizzly or by a cougar; that the mother had returned and driven away the murderer, and that she had then buried the body and lain above it, waiting to wreak her ven geance on the first passer-by. 8el!sg Wax St IU I'sed In Fruea. In France sealing wax has by no means gone out of use as a conse quence of the introduction of gummed envelopes. There is even a sort of code or language of sealing wax among fashionable people. White sealing wax is chosen for communica tions relating to weddinfs, black for obituaries, violet for expressions of sympathy, chocolate for invitations to dinner, red for business, ruby for en gaged lovers' letters, green for let ten from lovers who live in hopes, and brown for refusals of offers of mar riage, while blue denotes constancy, yellow jealousy, pale greeo reproaches, and pink is used by young girls and gray between friends. CHINESE OFFICIAL INoIGNU- Quaint Heraldio Emblems of Clvio and Military Designs. Buttons Worn Among the CelaetlaU Which Indicate Descent from Fam ilies of High Kan-Figures Used as Symbols. Nothing is more complicated than Chinese etiquette, said Dr. Edward lledloe, ex-consul to Amoy, to a Washington Post reporter. A master of Debrett and Burke is a novice be side a Celestial master of ceremonies. Nevertheless, the latter's system is defi nite, if elaborate, and he has many official landmarks whereby to shape his course. One of the most important of these is the button which is worn by every mandarin on the top of his hat. Each of the nine ranks of Chinese has its particular button and the second degree of the first and second ranks are also marked by separate buttons. The official list is as follows: First rank First degree, light coral red button; second degree, deep coral red button. Second rank First de gree, light crimson button; second de gree, dark crimson button. Third rank Uoth, light clear blue. Fourth rank Dark Prussian blue. Fifth Quartz, glass or crystal. Sixth Opaque white. Seventh and eighth Gilded, yellow or gold. Ninth Sil ver or silver-white. It will be seen that a red button in dicates high rank. The rank in gen eral is personal rather than official. Thus, for example, a taotarship is an office of the third rank, and its button is a light, clear blue. Yet many tao tatis, if not a majority of the class, are decorated with red buttons. It even happens that a person of the sec ond rank, through misfortune or polit ical vicissitudes will hold an office of the fifth or sixth rank. In such a case he would still wear his red button, and in many official events would bo pre ceded by an official of a dark blue or crystal button. For this reason it is often very difficult to tell the official rank of mandarins by their buttons. Nor is the difficulty lessened by the embroitlered insignia upon the wear ing apparel. This is more elaborate than the buttons, but, like the latter, does not discriminate between rank and position. To overcome the difficulty the Chi nese resort to several expedients. One is the card on which is written a full statement of the owner's rank, degree and position. Another consists of hav ing the same facts painted upon the lanterns with which all chairs are pro vided. These can be read with equal ease day or night. The third is used for the information of the public and consists in having the name and all titles carved In large, bold characters on long red boards, which are carried by coolies. Mandarins who have re ceived many honors will frequently have as many as twenty of these red boards. Where an official has retired from service he is still entitled to nlace these boards pit tho entrance of his residence. A fourth mode resem bles the preceding and applies to junks or vessels in which a mandarin travels. The characters are written upon flags, which are fastened to the mast and elsewhere in lieu of ordinary bunting. When the present governor of Formosa left Shanghai on the steam er Smith no less than thirty banners of this class were flung to the breeze from the masts and other parts of the boat. The embroidered insignias of rank and position are placed upon the front and back of official robes. They must be of the finest workmanship and so well executed as to show the design clearly and accurately. The general design for a civil officer is a bird and for a military official a quadruped an imal. The civil list is as follows, ranks and not degrees being discrim inated: First, a manchurian crane; second, a golden pheasant; third, a peacock; fourth, a wild goose; fifth, a silver pheasant; sixth, a young egret; seventh, a quail; eighth, a long-tailed jay; ninth, an oriole. The military list runs: First, a unl corn; second, a lion; third, a leopard; fourth, a tiger; fifth, a black bear sixth, a tiger eat; seventh, a mottled bear; eighth, a seal; ninth, a rhinoc eros. These insignias have been used from time immemorial, while the buttons are a creation of the Manchu con querors of China. It is a singular fact that both the lion and rhinoceros are strangers to the latter country. The limit of their habitat seems to be the Ganges and to have been so since the tertiary period. The knowledge of these animals by the Chinese was ac quired long before the Christian era, when large fleets of junks, naval, pirate or commercial, went from Can ton to nearly every port in Hindoostan and often brought back these and other wild beasts alive. Of late years etiquette has relaxed considerably in regard to both buttons and insignia PERSONAL MENTION.

Hundreds of Bojrua Pennies Inserted. Sup posedly Made by Italia 1 Counterfeiters. From time to time references are seen in the daily papers, referring to the difficulty experienced by the ferry companies, car lines, etc., in disposing of enormous accumulations 01 ordinary copper cents. The reader is very apt to remember this, particularly if in exchange for a dollar bill he is re turned ninety-five one-cent pieces by a conductor. As a matter of fact, says the New York Herald, there is no ex cuse for the item, much less for a car conductor or change-taker in unload ing his weight of copper upon the al ways more or Icsb abused passenger. The United States subtreasury, at Wall and Nassau streets, makes, and has made it a practice for years, of ex changing minor coin for United States money of large denomination, and it has many regular customers who arc so served. There are a number of cu rious tilings about cents ns they come to the sub-treasury. In the first place, they aro quite extensively coun terfeited. This may seem strange, as the profit in a counterfeit cent is ueces sarlly small. It is true, however, nev ertheless, and is supposed to be the work of Italians, who, more largely than any other nationality, seem to favor the imitation of our minor and subsidiary coin. The lirooklyn anil New Jersey ferry companies, the ele vated railroads of both New York aud lirooklyn and the various slot-machine companies are regular cu itomers lor the exchange of ceuts for other money at the sub-treasury. At times they turn in enormous quantities, tho slot companies alone ranging between one hundred md twenty-five and seven hundred dollars a day. As might be expected, all sorts of oddities In the way of coin o nne in with the quantity ta'ien in the machines. In addition to the counterfeits are scores of "not one cents" of war times, metal discs and foreign copper, Austrian money predominating. As the copper cent is simply a token, no matter what its condition is, it is redeemed at par if it can in any way be identified as Uuited States money Tho popularity of the slot machine a year or so ago brought about a curious condi tion of affairs in the country. This was nothing short of a "cent famine." The headquarters of the company Is In New York, and all agents sent their cents here for redemption, which drained the country of its supply and overstocked the minor coin vaults of the subtreasury hero with cents. The Preacher's Voice. Why a preacher should sing differ ently from other people is a mystery, but they all do. Every one who has heard preachers sing knows that there is a queer twang about the clerical voice when used in singing that is rare ly heard save among preachers and very old members who have attended church so long that they have caught the preacher's tone. The difference is not so much in style as in the varia tions that a preacher never fails to in troduce, and once heard can never be mistaken. TRAINcJ l-CR FIVE YEARS. Bow the Klghtlug Hulls r Npa In Are Pre pared for the Klug. The bulls used for fighting purposes are a specially selected, specially carcd-for class, says a writer In the Fortnightly Review. They are all ped igreed. Andalusia is especially the district of the bull. Here, at the age of one year, the young bulls are sepa rated from the heifers, branded with the owner's mark, and turned out loose on the plains to graze with others of their own ago. AVhen a year older, the young bulls are gathered together in order that their mettle and fighting qualities may ic tested. One of them is separated from the herd and chased by a man on horseback, who, by the skillful use of a blunted lance, over throws the escaping bull, whereupon another rider comes in front of the an imul with a sharper lance to withstand the expected attacks, if the bull, 011 regaining his feet, attacks the rider twice it is passed as a fighting animal, but if it turns tail and runs off then it is set aside to he killed or to be used in agricultural work. And so with each uniinal until the whole herd of two-year-olds has been tested. Each bull that has stood the test successful ly is then entered in the herd book with a description of its appeuruuee and receives a name. The process of careful selection goes on from year to year until the bull is five years old, when, should its mettle still prove true, it is ready for the arena, and flaming posters appear on the walls of Madrid or Seville announcing that Ks partero (or whatever his name is) will on such a date inako his first umt final appearance. A good, "warrantable" five-year-old bull for the lighting arena costs from three hundred and fifty to four hundred dollars. Awarded Uitflietit m The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.

The Frank Speech of a ltspatat teeteh Professor A well-known Scotch professor was noted for his hot temper and vehement candor, as well as for bis profound scholarship. At the opening of a college term tha boys observed that he was unusually Irritable and harsh. The applicants for .admission ranged, thinalrs for examination in a Una below his desk. "Show your papers!" he ordered. One lad held his paper up awkwardly in his left hand. "Hold it up properly, sir. In your right hand!" commanded th master. The new pupil muttered something, but kept his left hand raised. "The right hand, ye loon I" thundered the professor. The boy, growing very pale, lifted his right arm. It was a burned stump. Tha hand was gone. The boys burst into indignant bissaa, but the professor had leaped down from the platform and had thrown his arm about the boy's "houlders. "Eh, laddie, 'orgive met" he cried, breaking into broad Scotch, as he al ways did when greatly excited. "I didoa konl But," turning to the class, with smlmming eyes: "I thank Gad Ha has given me gentlemen to teach who can en' me to account when I go astray." "After that day." wrote one ot the boys, years afterward, "every man there was his arm friend and liegeman. He had won us all by that 00a .frank speech. The change whloh fifty years, has made in the relation between teacher and taught has been very great The boy of the last century looked up to his master with, the fear of the wait ing lash, below all other emotions or motives. The best teacher of to-day la well da scribed in the words of a great Gsm.au educator, as one "who takes the posi tion of an older kinsman to his pupils; climbing the same ladder as they, but a little higher up." But the boy who trusts his teacher aa the truest of gentlemen Is learning from him something better than Latin and Greek. Youth's Companion. polled MOhtis, A Caterpillar Invades Their . with Tragic Results. One of the cages in tha menagerie was inhabited by an steles, or prehensile-tailed monkey from Central Amer ica, nnd a dog-faced monkey rom western Africa. Each held the other in supi'emu contempt. The t African muDcd silently over his own strength and looked scornfully at the spider like arms of his cousin in captivity, while the American didn't think much of a monkey who had such a short stumpy tail as his companion. One day a caterpillar, a Song brown hairy one, crept Into the cage. -Where It had come from no one knew, but there It was treading its quiet way across the cuge. The ateles spied It, and stopping in his gymnastic exer cises dropped to the ground to Investi gate the newcomer. For a short time he looked quizzically and. wonderlagly at the woolly object, which went qui otly along. Then the right hand Was thrust out timidly, and as the fingers touched tbe caterpillar it curled up into a hairy balL The monkey jumped back, blinked his eyes aa if to be cer tain of what was what, gibbered and then with the aid of his tall drew him self up to one of the horizontal bars and looked down wonderlngly. Tha dog-faced monkey looked on from above with apparent scornful uncon cern. The little act was rehearsed again and again, whenever tha cater pillar unooiled Itself and started for some untold goal. At last a happy thought struck the steles. There was a small stick in the eage, and grasping this with both hands the valiant mon key, with mnuy a grewsome look upon his face, started In to "do up" the un canny intruder. Ho jabbed down at the unoffending visitor several times with a sadly luaccurate aim, hopping back after each attempt and making such comical faces that tbe unlookent were fairly convulsed with laughter. The dog-faced monkey alone was still, silent and circumspect At last, after many attempts, the stick came down flat on the caterpillar, crushing out its life. The ateles bent forward to seize the defunct crawler, and was just about to make a meal of Its poor victim when there dropped from the upper perch, on the spider-legged simian, the dog-faced monkey, who quickly demolished the remains of the caterpillar, while the ateles gave vent to his disappointment In plaintive cries, ugly grimnces and acrobatic perform ances which "brought down the bjuse," tho spectators of this small tragedy.
