CelcstiaIs in the Queens DOminiOns,

To a physical strength and endur-
ance, proof against the enervating in
tluences OF tropical climate; to an
intellectual energy and perseverance,
not to be foiled by d fiiculty nor batiied
by the antipathies of hostile prejudice
or the thwartings OF almost prohibitive
legslatlons; to an acuteness and skill
adapting itself alike to the highest as to
the lowest occupation, penetrating
everywhere, everywhere appropriatlng
each vacant berth or creating new ones,
the Chinese have added three special
characteristics, by the union of which
is laid the deepest, the surest founda
ton OF lasting success. The first, that
no race OF men, after all necessary
allowance made for individual cxcep
tions and rascald0ms, has so thorough
ly understood. so consistently practiced,
the doctrine that ''honesty is the best
policy, true dealing more profitable
than knayery. The second is, that of all
Asiatics. from the Bosphorus to the far

''eifete" on the other. But the third
and most notable characteristic of these
men is their almost instructive tendency
to self-org anization and their capacity
for it, with its direct consequences of
mutual assistance, support and preserv-
alton. Under the shelter of British law
and justice, more even than elsewhere,
these "Celestlalsn have so multiplied
in numbers, so pushed forward in ac-
ton throughout Malaysia, that their

of about thirty degrees with the horizon,
comfortably shading tho eyes from the
sun. Most of the forage caps worn by
the foreign staff were very similar to the
French pattern. Our long and some
what loose trousers, worn equally
mounted and afoot, involve riding boots
so wide at the top that rain enters in
stormy weather. Officers of other ma
tions represented at the maneuVers
mostly wore cutottes (short, close-fitting
breeches,) fastened just below the knee
to prevent their "bunching up on the
thighs from the motion of the horse,
their riding boots consequently followed
more closely the natural shape OF
the leg. Coats of mounted officers were
generally very short and neatly out,
lined the figure of the wearer without
unco nfortablY confningit by tight but
toning. A convenience which l no,
ticed in the fed dress OF many was an
outside breast-pocket for carrying map,

Offices wore neat and occasionally
ornamental shoulder belt, to which was
attached case for these articles and q

OF an European officers equipment is
smaller and more convenient than the
heavy bnocular glasses much used by
us. With traordina iy powerful
lenses and with tubes of aluminium,
they weigh'bu few ounces, can be
carried by a light string, and render
objects several miles distant very uis-
tinct. For wet weather some Of the
foreign officers had loose oYercoats of
dark blue waterproof material, neat,
light and co .nfortable. Gauntlets were
never worn; all OBJ, ect to them upoa

gloves, easily cleaned daily with soap
and waite, were generally worn.
In the field fawn-colored gloves of

CURE OF CHRONIC CosTIvENEss.

BULLY BUENo MILLS, ARIZONA TER,
January "a, 1888
For the last two years have been
greatly troubled with costiveness, often
ten or twelve days elapsing without any
movement of my bowels. / have tried
many remedies, but none with success, IN,
til / used your VEGETABLE PmLs-taking
three pills and increasing one each night
until took nine, then decreasing one each
night. Since then my bowels have con.
tinued regular each day, and my head
ache, sour stomach and general lassitude
have left me, and 1 feel like another man
which is entirely owing to your pills
and 1 would not be without them in this
new country. A. NJ. HEATH.
Impurity of Blood, however generated
IS always present in the body when pain is
felt; it spreads and ferments wherever q
weak spot or low vitality exists.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are the one great
and unfailing remedy, because they take
hold and expel only what is hurtful; so
when sick, have pain, dizziness, rheuma-
tisn, colds, or costiveness, take from three
to five, and if they do not operate in four
hours or so, take three or four more. They
cleanse the bowels and circulation from
all impurities of the blood, and often save
life. BRANDRETH's PILLs preserve the vigor
of youth, and for a long period keep off the
debility of age.

MALARIA is frequently CARR

Malaria is frequently carried

therefore it is we'll to ascertain whether
there is any Misunderstanding marsh or
other pestilential locality in the direc-

having to pass through timbered
country, as timber has the property OF
absorbing or destroying malaria to a
