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

the difficulty experienced by the ferry

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.

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.

TEACHER AND PUPIL.
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.

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.
