Fore st Fires.

PORT HURON, Mich, Sept. 18.-The
forest fires were checked today by a
north wind blowing the flames back
over the burnt district, when they
died out. Fencing and wood have
been burned, but it is not definitely
known whether any buildings have
consumed. The fire has caused some
damage here by clearing out under
brush and dead trees, and has made
tillable land heretofore not used.
BAY CITY, Mich, Sept. 18.-The
latest advicos from Pinconning says
the danger from the forest fires is over
for the present. The wind has sub
sided and the flames are checked. The
fight is still kept up on all sides. The
arena is in about the same condition
and the danger is over.

Strength of the Chinese Army.
New York Herald.


at Pekin, the auxiliary troops, if
this phrase may be employ are
made up of enrolled Chinese, MOngOls
and Manchus. The first-named class
are the descendants of those Chinese
who IN the year 1643 took service
among the invading Manchus. These
auxiliaries are organized according to
their respective races under pa-ki, or
eight banners. The troops are divided
into divisions and wings, and those of
each banner are known bv the cOlOrs
of it. The bannermen of all CLASSES
and arms around the capital, includ-
ing the vanguard and the flank divis-
ions, which are corps d'elite, number
at least seventy-five thousand men.
When the brigands become too
numerous or instruction threatens a
volunteer force called the Chwang
Yung, or Braves, is mustered into
service, and disbanded after the dan
ger has passed. Inquiries that have
been made into the effective strength
of the Chinese army show its force to
have been within the past few years
approximately these: Permanent
cavalry, 81, 1000; infantry in active SER
vice in the field, 1876, 600; garrison in
fantry, 100000. The so-cal1ed artil-
lery force is subject to no rule of cal
culation, but il may safely be put
down at ~, 600, giving total of 622,
900 men of the three armies.
This number would fluctuate accord
ing to the internal conditions of the
country and its relations with foreign
powers. so that the numerical force
ranges back and forth between 700, 600
and 100000 of men. The most
shameless corruption prevails in the
army. Officers often give the men
under them unlimited leave of absence
and pocket their pay. On this account.
when an emergency arises and the
ranks have to be filled up, men are
laid hold Of wherever they can be
caught, arms are put into their hands
and, without the slightest benefit of
previous training, they are thrust to
the front like so many sheep.

The Arr Of Early Rising.

The proper time to rise, says the
Lancet, is when sleep ends. True
sleep is the aggregate of sleeps, or is
a state consisting in the sleeping or
rests of all the several parts of the
organism. Sometimes one and at
other times another part of the body,
as whole, may be the least fatigued,
and therefore the most difficult to
arouse. The secret of good sleep IS,
the physiological conditions of rest
being established, so to worry and
weary the several parts of the organ
ism as to give them a proportionally
equal need of rest at the same mo-
ment; and to wake early and feel
ready to rise, fair and equal start of
the sleeper should be secured; and
the wise self-manager should not al
low a drowsy feeling of the con-
sciOusness or weary senses, Or an ex-
hausted muscular system, to beguile
him into the folly of going to Sleep
again when once he has been aroused.
After a few days of self discipline.
the man who resolves not to doze.
that is, not to allow some sleepy part
of his body to keep him in bed after
his brain has once awakened, will
find himself, without knowing why,
an early riser.

Buried in the Sea Sand.
New York Herald.


Three little boys sat digging in the
sand on the beach at Long Branch
They had been playing Indians" and
were industriousfy making a cave to
live in. One of the boys was Johnny
Holbrook, who lives with his mother
on Summit avenue, Jersey City.
Lets play / was dead, said John
ny, and you felIers bury me in the
sand"
''Injuns is buried standing up. :"
said one of the others. sit saws so
In Wild Bill, the Ranger Well
have to dig the hole deeper so you can
stand up"
So the boys dug the pit deeper. The
Water came in from below, and Johnny
quietl y took off his shoes and stock
ngs. Then the other Boys packed
the sand about him till only his head
remained above ground. The work
kept them busy for more than an
hour.
So iutently had the lads labored
that they had not noticed the rising of
the tide until big wave dashed over
poor Johnny's head and, rolling back,
left him gasping for breath, with his
mouth and eyes full of sand. He
struggled to pull himself out of the
hole, but the sand held him like a
wise, and other incoming waves had
no mercy.
Johnny screamed for help, but there
was no one within hearing except the
two little boys and a man too far off
to be of any immediate assistance.
And the terrible waves rolled nearer,
licking Johnny's chin and threaten
ing to hide his head under fatal COW
erlet.
The little boys tried to pull Johnny
out, but that they were not strong
enough to do. They tried to dig the
sand away, but they were so much
frightened that they made little pro
gress, and every minute seemed an
age.
When Johnny was finally extricat
ed, his face was very white. When
ne had recovered his breath, he began
to cry.

stander; whats the use of crying
