The Chinese Army and Navy.

Some OF the Russian newspapers, in
view of the contingency of war with
China, give some particulars of the mill
tary and naval forces of that country.
The chief portion of the Chinese army
consist of 1.-THE First Army Corps,
composed of eight Mantchou, eight Tar
tar and eight Chinese corps, and the
garrison of Pekin. The soldiers OF
1.-THE First Army Corps are seldom
drilled, end are mostly armed with old
swords, bows, spears and other anti
quated weapons. Being badly paid,
they earn their living by working at all
sorts of trades. and are of but little us.
as soldiers. Their total strength, exc
elusive of officers is about los. 900 men,
The garrison of Pekin, also badly armed
consists of II 500 men. Besides these
there are two corps 10, 500 strong, which
form the emperor's body-guard, and a
division of infantry of 10000 men,
whose duty 1t is to keep order in the
capital and its suburbs. There is also
a third army, which during the present
century has been almost exclusively
employed in time of war. This Is the
so-called " Green-banner Army" which
is composed OF eighteen army corps, in
correspondence with the eighteen pro-
vinces OF the empire. Each army corps
has five divisions, and each division
five camps. A general commands each
division, and the civil governors are
the commanders-in.c chief of the troops
stationed in their respective districts.
The total strength of the Green-ban-
ner Army" on paper is about 65l, 900
men, with 1000 officers, but It Is prob
able that more than one-half of this
force could be brought into the field.
Barely $4,000 of them are armed with
European weapons and drilled accord
ing to the principles of European tactics;
the remainder still carry spears. match
locks, and short swords. Finally, there
Is a kind of irregular volunteer corps,
which is called in when the regular
army has proved incapable of suppress
ing an insurrection or putting down
brigandage. This corps Is even worse
armed than the others. possesses but
little training, and Is hardly amenable
to discipline. Asior the Chinese navy,
its ships are, for the most part, badly
constructed and insufficiently manned.
There are few European officers, but
the majority of the naval officers are
Chinese, who are very ignorant and i'm
eflicient.-PaU Mall Gazette.

Seasickness.

Theories about seasickness are as in
Vulnerable as remedies for it. Some
persons, especially women, never get
sccustomC d to the sea, and all efforts TO
prevent or cure the affective nausea are
unayailing. One of the latest prescrip-
tions is TO take ive-drop doses ofnitrate
of amy |, which has been known to excr-
else. it is said, most favorable inhu-
ence on hundreds of sufferers. But
much depends. Of course, on certain
conditions ofthe system, saving clause
for all boasted forms of relief. One of
the favorite theories about seasickness
asoribes IL to the tossing about of food
in the stomach. which disturbs it and
the diaphragm, nausea and vomiting be-
ing the inevitable consequence. Another
theory Is that the stomach has no such
relation to the ailment, whose real cause
is a congestion of the brain, acting re-
hexly on the stomach.
Still another and indeed a more rea-
sonable theory is that most cases are
due in some degree to each of the sources
mentioned, and that, with full stom-
sch and congested liver, little can be
expected from amyl. In cases mainly
nervous, as with women, nitrate of amyl
Is usually found very beneficial, and de-
serves more varied and extensive trial
than it has hitherto received. Nearly
everybody has a remedy for seasickness,
and whoever has experienced relief from
any form of treatment naturally has en-
tire faith in that form. Hundreds of
so-called infallible cures might be enum-
Grated, and yet some people have tried
any number of them without the least
advantage. The probability is that sea-
sickness comes from different causes
with different individuals. With some
it arises from the stomach; with some
from the nerves; with others from the
brain; with others again from the
imagination. No exact diagnosis can
be made of seasickness. OF forty or fifty
sufferers each may be sick in different
way; and when the sickness recurs it
may be a marked variation from the
first sickness. The disorder depends
more or less on the individual, and any
attempt to generalize upon it is pretty
certain to be misleading as well as
tiip
