ORDINARY THING IN STRANGE PLACE.
For some time back, says the Yorecu, Yoshijiro Yamada, a labourer 36 year old, living at No. 18 Hatsunecho, Koishikawa Lu, city, had been feeling sickly from some unknown disease. He had seen two or three doctors, but they could not ascertain the cause of his illaesa or give hini any help beyond a vague surmise that some strange object lodged in the bowels must be causing the trouble. Finally he went to the Suisei Gakusta medical school, and there he was advised to go through a surgical opera- tion. The patient agreed, and on the trih inst. Dr. Marumo of the institution cut open the terminal end of the alimentary canal and suc cecikal in taking out the mischief-making object, which proved to be a teacup about one inch in diameter and one and a half inch in
height! The patient is now well, but the stranger. of the case is that he does not remember, where, when, or how he swallowed: the inconvenient object. The general supposi tion is that, being a heavy drinker, he must have "drunk i" "with sake during one of his wild sprees.
DEMONIACAL POSSESSION IN
BANGKOK.
A curious story of death through possession reaches us from the prosaic Windmill Road. The man who has died is one Ismail, a petty cattle trader. He was a good looking, young | fellow, always well dressed, and well known to everybody in the street of the cattle traders. Occasionally he went up.country to buy cattle, and apparently he incurred the enmity of a number of people in the district where he was in the habit of going: nor was he without his enemies in Bangkok. The story that reaches us is explicit enough as to why he had these enemies, but it is perhaps better not to give unnecessary details in so imaginative a tale. A short time ago he went up-country again, when some one "set the devil' upon him," and he became possessed. There was no outward sign of the possession, however, till two days after his return to Bangkok, when he became very ill. From his actions throughout his illness and the time of his death, it was plain that it was possessed. When he was on the point of death the evil spirit passed upon his wife. She droes everybody out of the house, crying to everyone she saw "You are not mý husband."
And that is how Windmill Road explains to itself presumably ordinary cases of delirium and, lysteria.--fi, Times.
THE PEACE OF THE FUTURE.
M. VVES GUVOT ON THE RESULT OF THE WAR.
i
M. Yves Guyot, writing in the Siècle says the result of the Transvaal war will be to free South Africa from the menaces of a people who are incapable of voluntarily adapting them selves to industrial civilization, and whose ideal is the old civilization of pillage and greed, such us pastoral peoples have always understood it. This last convulsion prepares the peace of the future. Notwithstanding all the efforts of peoples who wished to live in untutored isola tion, the surface of the globe is opening. Fifty years hence there will be no closed territories.
Everybody will find peace and security every where, and the mast prosperous countries will be those that knew how to guarantee these two conditions to all in the most certain manner.
The present crisis is not due to the energy of British statesmen, but to their weakness in 189 and 1884. It was this weakness which af- lowed the Government of Pretoria to violate the Conventions, and these were violated to such an extent that the Uitlanders, feeling their very lives threatened by the murderers of Edger, ad- dressed to the British Government a petition, which was transmitted on the 28th of March, 1899.
A STORY OF SIR GEO. WHITE,
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH THURSDAY, MAY ST, 1900.
A SOLDIER'S WIFE,
"No, she isn't much to look at,
And she'd never much to say, But the folks all had her quieter
Since her husband went away; And her face is daily pater,
Tho' she tries to stile the saine, While she's watching all the papers,
Praying not to see his name Well I she's only one of many, Just a soldier's little wife, And you'll never hear her murmur
If he has to give his life:
But the fair young brow is heavy, -And the lines are growing se For the long, long nights are dreary,
And the pillow often wet 1
No, she must not, dare not grumble,
He has gone to "Serve the Queen." But a wee white cot she's draping
Raises painful thoughts between: Oh, for sake of dear hopes cherished,
Ere the soldier Bad to roam, God, guard this one, and bring him
To the little wife at home i

NEW RULES FOR RIFLE
SHOOTING.
The Council of the National Rifle Associa tion makes the following preliminary announce. ment of the principal alterations which will take effect at the Bisley meeting, 1900. Con- cerning position, at 200 yards the standing position must be adopted. At 500 yards, stand- ing or kneeling. At 600 yards, standing, sit- ting, kneeling, or prone, The following alter- ations are made in regard to targets:Third- class target: Central, 6 inches; bull, iz inches; inner, 24 inches; magple, 36 inches ; outer, rest of target, 4 feet square,
GHASTLY RELIOS.
The most curious and the most ghastly relics to be found in South America are the com pressed heads of human beings occasionally to be purchased from the savage Indian tribes. on the River Naipo, in Ecuador. A sample can be seen at the Field Columbian museum made has never been discovered, nor does the Chicago. The process by which they are practice prevail in any other part of the world; but these Indians, who control a large area on tife eastern slope of the Audes, cut off the heads
of prisoners, remove the bones of the skulls and compress them to about one-fifths of the natural size without destroying the features or losing the expression of the countenance at the time of death. They can reduce the head of an ordinary man to the size of his fist.
No white man has ever seen it done, although several adventuresome scientists have taken the risk of visiting the. Naipo country for the purpose of investigation. The Indians are not hostile to the whites, and will not injure them except for booty or revenge. They will kill travellers in order to secure supplies, or will defend themselves and revenge injuries. Some years ago a missionary went over the moun- fains to convert them to Christianity, although he was warned to keep out of their country. A few years later a trader brought into Guaya quil a compressed head of a white man, the only one ever seen there, which bore a striking resemblance to the missionary. As he was never heard from after leaving the frontier, it is believed that this ghastly relic was sent down to the city by the Indians as evidence of his fate.
. A. P. ON SIR HENRY AND
LADY BLAKE.
Sir H. A. Blake, the Governor of Hongkong, is essentially a business governor, in distinction to the merely ornamental members of his pro- lession says M. A. P. He loves hard work, and is always full of schemes for the improve- ment of the country and the people under his charge. As is well known, he was at one time in the Irish Constabulary, and, whilst he made an advantageous marriage, his rapid rise has been duc more to sheer ability and hard work

No established Government exists which, confronted by such an appeal, could have ignor ed it. The mistake made by European Govthan to any adventitious circumstances. In craments has been in not supporting the action | Jamaica, where his term of gubernatorial office of Great Britain, instead of allowing President was specially extended, Sir Henry was im Kruger in believe that they would intervene mensely popular, if sometimes his schemes did against her, in defiance of the interests of their not meet with universal approbation. own subjects,"
appearance he is a man of average height, pale complexion, and dark hair and eyes. He is a keen sportsmart, fond of watching football, and essentially an open-air man. Lady Blake, to whom Sir Henry always ascribes his success, is tall, dark, commanding,. and very handsome. She has been called a blue kocking, but is really an exceeding clever and cultured woman. She has a positive craze for pets of a curious nature, amongst which may be mentioned snakes. One of the Tamaica was a tame leopard, and thereby hangs a tale. One night the Governar gave a ball. Tempted by the cool air, a young grounds. They approached a tree, round which subaltern and his partner wandered into the

The lady screamed and threa and fervently implored her to return to the tened hysterics, whilst the youth backed away house and send out a servant with an overcoat instanter He had sat on the tame (?) leopard!
A member of Sir George White's staff has related to a newspaper correspondent the fol. lowing particulars of an incident in connection. with the arrival at Ladysmith of the advance party of the relief column. Sir George White was sitting under the verandah at his quarters, his eyes being set in the direction of the Tugela, when suddenly he rose from his chair and ex- citedly exclaimed: "British Cavalry, by God Far off, and faintly standing out against the horizon, a group of horsemen could be seen, but even with binoculars it was impossibletosay with any degree of certainty whether the advancing force comprised British or Boers, A member of the General's staff ventured to express a doubt as to the force being British Cavalry "Sir," replied Sir George White, "do you mean to tell me I don't know British Cavalry when I see them? I tell you I am right." All doubts were removed when, a little later, the force dashed into the beleaguered town.
RELICS OF OLD PLAGUE EPIDEMICS.
In a lazaretto of Frioul, says a writer in the British Medical Journal, near Marseilles, there is a collection of instruments formerly employ ed as part of the equipment of quarantine, when persons suffering from or suspected of plague were isolated there. Among these are gigantic Cavalry sabres and pikes which were used to open buboes at a safe distance; and long silver rods by means of which the last sacraments were given to the dying. There is a formidable- looking apparatus which might be taken for an instrument of torture used by the Holy Inquisi- tion; this is a gigantic pair of pincers, in shape resembling the claws of a lobster, known as the corpse tongs with these the bodies of those who died of the plague were consigned to the waters of the Mediterranean. *

Dr. Hugh Robert Mill contributes to the Scottish Geographical for March, a paper on the development of habitable lands, wherein occurs this striking paragraph -“ Gold exercises an be characterised as magical, for it is not reason- Influence on the imagination which can only able. The physical toil of getting alluvial gold is perhaps heavier than any other, the prices of the necessities of life are hizhor on the gold-field than anywhere else, and more money seems to be wasted on drink or lost in gambling in the intervals of mining than in any other conditions. The fact that gold is the.common standard of value probably accounts for the illusion that gold fields are better worth travel- ling to and working on than coal-fields or brick-fields. If the reader takes the trouble to divide the annual output of the gold-fields of the world as officially declared, with the official number of miners engaged upon these fields, ke will find that the output per man often does AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S STEAM NAVIGA- not exceed £1 per week, and very rarely exceede £2.
