her under very strange circumstances

French Designs in the East.

Chinese imbecility has given fresh |
to French rapacity. The sub
mission with which the TOnquin treaty
was signed after a long campaign of
menace, prevaricatiOn and buster con-
vinced NJ. Ferry that any demands he
might make would be complied with.
The indemnity asked for the attack of
small body of irregular Chinese sOldiery
upon French troops was out of all pro-
portion to the outrage committed.
The claim has been pressed with the
arrogance of superior strength and the
feet is now bombarding Chinese ports,
and threatening to hold them until the
indemnity shall be paid. Kelung, the
scene of the first naval operations, is a
city on the north coast of the island of
FOrmOsa. 1t has population of about
10000, and is the centre of valuable
trade. 1t is one of four ports in the
island thrown open to commerce by
commercial treaties. Its recent pros
perity is due chiefly to European en-
terprise, great seams of rich coal hav-
ing been opened and mined by English
companies. 1t could be converted into
an excellent coaling and naval station,
and on this account was selected as
the first port to be occupied by the
French feet. The forts were dis
matted after an hours bOmbardment,
and the marines occupied the town
without meeting with resistance.
From FOrmOsa the fleet has rapidly
reached the mainland, and Annoy is
next to be fired upon, if the Chinese
officials neglect to make peace by
accepting the terms already offered tC
them.
The French people must be cOnsum-
ed with vanity if these operations o
their admirals and treaty makers arr

and National glory. The ports 0

Tobacco a PanaCea.

A writer in the Health and Home |
says: 81 ought at the outset to state
that l never chewed, smoked, nor
snuffed tobacco believe, however,
that it on several occasions has saved |
my life, and in other respects been of
essential service to me and many of
my friends. The first instance I can
remember of its use as a remedy for in-
flamatiOns was seeing Tom Kelley,
when I was small boy, squirt its juice
from his mouth into the eye of horse
very red with Inflammation.
He stated that he was curing it in
that way. While carelessly riding a
wild horse the animal sprang against
the fence and knocked me of, so that l
lit on the ground with so much viO-
lence as to sprain my ankle very
severely. After enduring severe pain
for some hours l thought of trying
tobacco.
II sent for some leaves, and had them
wet and wrapped around the ankle,
and placed the pOultice over them to
keep them moist; within an hour the
pain ceased and I slept through the
night. The next morning on examin-
ing the ankle, instead of being swollen
it appeared rather less than its natural
size; the skin had a wrinkled appear
ance, and was very white. My next
application of it was to a severe gum
shot wound. A bullet ranged through
my leg, from near the ankle, so as to
come out on the opposite side, just
below the knee, cutting the muscles
and nerves and making q long and
painful wound. lost so much blood

A few days ago an elegantly dressed
lady emerged proudly from street

one of the stateliest mansions, in front
of which the inevitable small boy was
playing.
"YOur mother is not in ?" said the
visitor, in a confident tone of voice.

pointed tone of voice; and an express

her mOire antique features.

The Chinaman'S Four Most
Precious Things"

In China the -four most precious
things" are the paper-plant, ink and
its saucer, and the brush.
The hornet, whose sharp sting is the
terror of children, is the recognized
pioneer of paper-makers. Its cellular
nest, on trees and rocks, is built of ma
terial which resembles the most deli
cate tissue-paper.
Eighteen hundred years ago, the
Chinese, acting upon the wasp's sug-
gestiOn, made paper from fibrOus mat
ter reduced to pulp. Now, each prov
ince makes its own peculiar variety
from the innermost bark of different
trees. The young bamboo, which
grows six or eight inches i'll a single
night, is whitened, reduced to pulp in
a mortar, and sized with alum. From
this pulp sheets of paper are made in
a mould by hand. The celebrated
Chinese rice paper, that so resembles
wooden and silk fabrics, and on which
are painted quaint birds and flowers, is
manufactured from compressed pith,
which is first cut spirally, by keen
knife, into thin slices, six inches wide
and twice as long. Immense quanti-
ties of paper are used by the Chinese
for a great variety of purposes. Fun
eral papers, or paper limitations OF
earthly things which they desire to be-
stow on departed friends, are burned
over their graves. They use paper
window frames, paper sliding-dOOrs
and paper visiting-cards a yard long

representative of the British Govern

England and America seem to have
changed climates this year. While the
Summer has been remarkably cool on
this side of the Atlantic, so that New
York has been comfortable place to
stay in, London and other English
cities have suffered terribly from the
heat. In the British capital on Tues
day of last week the mercury stood at
930, and owing to the humidity of the
atmosphere the people there suffered
much more than we should have done,
probably, if the thermometer here had
shown any such figure. The terrible
rain storm accompanied by thunder
and lightning, which swept over the
British Isles was only what might
have been expected, considering the
condition of the atmosphere. Our
earthquake and this phenomenal
weather, both in England and Ameri-
ca, will certainly give weather sharps
plenty of thinking to do.

The Starvation Of the Arctic Ex-
plOrer.
THE STORY OF cANNIBALIsM.

Those who have accepted without
question the truth of the horrible stor-
les of cannibalism practiced by the sur
vivOrs of the Greedy party will have
their belief strengthened by the state
ments given to the press respecting the
exhuming of Lieutenant Kislingbury's
body at Rochester. The charge is
made that the body was found to con-
sist chiefly of bones from which the
flesh had been stripped and that not
over fifty pounds of human remains
were found in the coffin.
In view of the many contradictory
statements which are made by those
who ought to know the whole truth
and by those who cannot be supposed
to know anything about the matter, il
will be well for the public to suspend
judgment until an official investiga
| tiOn can be made and the truth aScer
tanned beyond a doubt. Leutenan
| Greedy has made a report on tn,
execution of Private Henry and aske,
for court-martial to investigate hi
action in this important matter. A
the horrible story of cannibalism ha
been given such wide circulation al
official inquiry must of necessity b
made in regard to it, and the publ
can afford to wait its result.
