“I am vlad to note that scientists, and particularly philologists, are at last making good headway in deciphering the hieroglyphics of the Aztecs," said Dr. Wendall Mees, of Ithaca, N. Y., to a writer of the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. “I have just returned from an extended visit to our sister republic, during which I made the most careful researches, with results which are highly gratifying to me. There remains no doubt in my mind that the warlike and highly civilized tribes which Cortes found in Mexico were of Scandinavian origin and very closely allied to our own Saxon forefathers. 1 believe we

“Dun" is a word whose meaning is now known to everyone who under- ■ stands the English language. About the beginning of the century, says the ; Hoston Post, a constable in England i named John Dun became celebrated as i a first-class collector of bad accounts. When others would fail to collect a bad debt. Dun would be sure to get it out of the debtor. It soon passed into a current phrase that when a person owed money and did not pay when asked, he would have to be “Dunned.” ! Hence it soon became common in such j cases to say: “You will have to dun

passed. Many of our scientists have befogged a very plain question concerning Mexican hieroglyphics. There never was a uniform system of written or printed records anywhere. They all contained the principles of several distinct systems. This is true of Egypt as well as Mexico. A majority of the hieroglyphics of nomenclature in Egypt were based on the rebus, or symphonograph, where the pictures give the sound, but not the sense. This implies the existence of two languages in that country, one which gave the meaning and the other to which the

picture belonged.

"The same system was used in Mexico. The hieoroglyph for Huasoyacac, pronounced Washyca, is a twig of the huase fruit coming out of the nose, or yacac, of a human face. "The meaning, however, is quite different. Wash or Washu must have 1 been the name of the god of war, and, ! as Kak, or Cae, moans red, and the | Culwas were red men, Huascyacao I must have meant the Red God of War. The peculiarity of the word is that it I presents what we may call the ScandiI navian dialectic formula of a name of j great antiquity found in many coun1 tries and not originally belonging to j the red men of Europe and northern I Africa. In these peoples, who can be directly traced to the mingling of the three primitive savage races with the prehistoric white races of northern Europe, the Azos, or Asar, we have the root Wash, as in Washington, Washoe and like words. The older form was Bas, as in Basinghall, Bashiustoke.Bass, liasqueses, etc., in actual nomenclature, and Bes, Bessaria, Bosna, in ancient times. Huitzilipoctli was a title and not a name, and the lolling tongue is hieoroglyphie for the word Lap, showing that Huitzilipochtli was the demon Lap, or the god of war, as viewed by the red races. This hieroglyphic is based upon the Saxon word Lap, to take up water with the tongue, and is proof positive of the Scandinavian origin of the Aztecs. “Going further into this we have found that the hieroglyph for Lap was the rabbit, because Lepus rebuses with Lap, and we infer from that that the rabbit god of the Algonquins is a proof that the Aztecs must have had intercourse by some means with the civilized races from whom the Romans got their word lepus. In every nation that refused to eat the hare there must have been similar intercourse, no matter under what pretext it was declined as

an article of food."

House Hies are a constant nuisance, and there are great flying cockroaches, two inches long, 1 which sometimes bite, and at certain seasons leave their great wings lying about the house. They eat one's patent leather shoes. Flying ants, great black creatures, come in swarms and also leave their wings over everything. Thecentipede, an inch and a half long, and more venomous than that of this country, gets into the house and often crawls upon the sleeper. So long as one keeps still there is no danger, but the creature, if one moves, is likely to dig his claws into the flesh ami make an unpleasant sore. Scorpions abound. They come out of old woodwork, and you tind them in books that have long j lain unused. Their bite is poisonous,

and sometimes fatal.

“Along with the insects come the serpents. The cobra is the most dangerous. It seldom comes into the houses for some reason, though my small sister slept upon a pile of mats! under which a sleeping cobra, was afterward found. The cobra, however, comes into the compound and often bites the natives. Europeans are seldom bitten by the cobra or other snakes, because the European goes about in boots that give the serpent notice of his coming, and also pernaps protect him from the bite. As a matter of fact serpents commonly met in India do not voluntarily go after human prey, but are probably more afraid of man than man of them. A barefooted native, treading noiselessly, gives the serpent no notice of his approach, and may unconsciously step upon him. and then the creature bites in self-defense. 1 knew a native gardoncr to be bitten by a cobra.

THE MIKADO NO GOD TO HER. Kmpre** of Japan Ha* a Mind and Will

of Her Own.

Although Empress Hamko of Japan, in public at any rate, manifests the same degree of religious veneration for the sacred person of the mikado that is exacted from the remainder of his subjects, yet she is credited with displaying in private something very much akin to contempt for his semi-divine attributes. Whereas he is distinctly dull and heavy, both physically and mentally, his wife, on the contrary, is renowned for her cleverness, her enlightened ideas, and for tier strength of character. In Japan, as elsewhere in the orient, women are expected to remain obsequiously in the background and to follow meekly in the wake of their husbands, but Empress Harttko takes the lead, and, as the decidedly better half of the two, makes her husband yield to her superior intelligence

and inlluence.

To her more than anyone else belongs the credit for the extraordinarily rapid advance of Japan in the path of western civilization, and in her efforts in behalf of her picturesque country she is greatly assisted by the advice of Empress Frederick of Germany, with whom she is in regular weekly correspondence. Indeed, many of the new departures in Japanese life of the present day may be traced to the recommendations of the eldest—and by far the most accomplished—daughter of Queen Victoria.

the subject of our edible turtles and incidentally of cookery in this country, makes the statement that green turtles are taken in the neighborhood of New York—from there to F’lorida. He also asserts that it is only in aliments of aquatic origin that our food products are superior to those of Europe, that our fishes are abundant and generally good, but that our culinary treatment of them is inferior. As regards our meats, poultry and game, the Frenchman dismisses them as little worthy of attention. Of the first two it may lie conceded, says the New York Sun, that the average quality is not so high as in F'ranee. His estimate of our game is probably based upon the condition in which it reaches European markets, where it is sold in large quantities in the close season here. This estimate is not a fair one, inasmuch as almost all of our game which goes abroad has, previous to shipment, been held for months in cold-storage warehouses, to its deterioration both in quality and flavor. As regards our native cookery, the French writer asserts that there is not much in it to tempt a European particularly, and especially a Frenchman. While this may be true concerning the country at large, au exception must be made in favor of the native cookery of Maryland and eastern Virginia tind that of the creole population of Louisiana, which, within its compass, is second to none. The fact must not be lost sight of that in the last decade culinary skill with us has made great advances, the results of which would not he apparent to a superficial foreign observer. A case in point illustrative of our progress in this direction is offered in the alimentary department of our exchanges for woman's work. Within the restrictions which it imposes, the edibles there on sale, the work of native feminine bread winners, are promptly bought by discriminating purchasers, so far are they superior to foreign preparations of a similar

character.

Chinese mandarins of the second class wear a button of coral red, suggested by a cock’s comb, since the cock is the bird that adorns their breast. The third class are gorgeous, with a robe on which a peacock is emblazoned, while from the center of the red fringe of silk upon the hat rises a sapphire button. The button of the fourth class is an opaque dark purple stone, and the bird depicted on the robe is the pelican. A silver pheasant on the robe and a clear crystal button on the hat are the rank of the fifth class. The sixth class are entitled to wear an embroidered stork and a jadestone button; the seventh a partridge and an embossed gold button. In the eighth the partridge Is reduced to a quail, and the gold button liccomes plain, while the ninth-class mandarin lias to be content with a sparrow for his emblem, and with silver for his

Costumes of the Spaniards.

The wealthier Spanish women dress very plainly, few wearing bonnets in the street, adorning their heads with Uco iuoiciJ, although who dress for state occasions follow the latest Parisian styles. The men are dark-

awake. An Englishman whom I knew was bitten by a cobra, and his friends promptly applied the same remedies. They walked him all night against his drowsy protests and his earnest prayer that he be permitted to sleep. His life was saved, hut he never really recovered from the shock, though he lived many years after. The bracelet snake is a familiar and venomous little wretch that takes pleasure in coiling up in one's boot during the night or in getting into the holes of one's garments. One soon learns to shake one's boots before putting them on. The natives have a curious aversion to killing snakes, and they have a superstition, shared by some Europeans, that if a cobra be slain its mate will come to avenge the act. Of course, there is no foundation for it, save perhaps that a widowed cobra comes in search of her mate and incidentally meets the slayer. “Rats abound in India and get into houses and swarm aboard a ship. One great Indian rat, the bandicoot, with a snout like a pig, visits one’s bed at night and chews the ends of one’s hair. I knew a red-headed fellow on board ship who used to grease his hair with oil or bear’s grease. He was visited one night by a bandicoot, and came upon deck next morning with the oddest evidence of the bandicoot’s harboring. The muskrat swarms in India, gets into the houses as all sorts of wild creatures do, since the doors are merely unclosed openings. His smell is something tremendous. and when he merely crosses the cork of a soda water bottle he seems to scent the contents. “The bite of an insect, even though slight, or a small sore of any kind that would soon heal in a temperate oil mate, may hang on for days or weeks in the heat of India, and a slight illness greatly weakens one. Europeans luckily seldom take the native diseases, luid, though cholera is constantly present in India, it is only in cases of peculiarly widespread epidemics that it reaches the European population. There is uo yellow fever there, but smallpox ravages the natives. It is amazing to see how many natives are pockmarked. The natives have small faith in European doctors, but they always take the European cholera mixture. Of course no European ruluritg himself to a native doctor. Abscess of the liver is the great terror of the European, though the land breeze comes iadeu with all sorts of horrible possibilities. "The change of climate as one goes from the coast into the mountains Is like magic. On the journey up from Bombay to Materan one starts with a pocketful of Indian cigars, triehinopolis, cheap loniz rolls of tobacco with a straw through them that they may draw. This is because they are extremely wet, but when one reaches Materan he finds his trichiniopolis ns dry as a punk. The thin atmosphere of the heights has sucked them dry of

all their moisture.”
