Horrible Chinese Atrocities.

A Kelung letter to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says: The new and rapidly grow
ing military cemetery of Kelung IS on
the east shore of the bay, almost at tn
waters edge, conspicuous for the num-
Der of its mounds and its crosses. The
guns of three or four men ofwar frown
over the spot at distance of only few
hundred yards. Yet every few nights
bodies are disinterred, beheaded and left
in nameiess Disagreement. A few days
since a servant of Colonel Duchesne, in
pursuit of provisions, found a fowl which
he desired to purchase. While bending
forward to examine it some Chinese stole
up behind him and he was beheaded
in a moment Two or three nights
ago the captain of a towboat, with his
engineer, went on shore to look for
water. Happening to stray a little from
the beaten path they were attacked and
beheaded. The Vipere, lying just off
the shore, heard the cries of the men and
sent few shots into the bushes, but
without avail. The two headless and
horribly mutilated bodies were found the
next morning. The French, exasperated
beyond measure, resolved to retort in a
similar fashion, and day or two after
ward. finding five men whom they sus
pccted of the crime, they tied their
queues together, attached stones to their
feet and drowned them in the bay. Some
time ago they adopted in Tonquln sim
liar policy of reprisal, beheading severa
hundred captured Black Flags who had
been practicing the barbarities peculiar
to Oriental warfare.

The Monkey Temple of Banares,

silver, a necklace of gold coins and gen

in this temple monkeys are worshipcd.

around my neck, informing me that l

shrines and ceremonies which l had wit
messed in Benares, though natural, was
due to my not understanding that these
are all survivals from the time when man
did not exist, when the banks of the Gan
ges were occupied by the simial race.
1t was the religion of monkeys 1 had
been witnessing, though man since he
came upon the scene has misunderstood
much of that aboriginal faith and phil
osophy and embodies his errors and dog
mas along with them. Nevertheless the
religion of Benares to day preserves an
unbroken continuity with the religion of
simial antiquity, and the priests and apes
dwell together in unity After our in
terview the old ape gave me wink and
walked away munching his cake, little
bit of which he threw to the goddess
Durga. Back of the temple l saw an
aged and large tamarind tree with a hol-
low, which is the lying in home of the
sacred monkeys. Formerly there were
thousands of these monkeys dwelling i
and about this temple, but they becam
so troublesome and mischievous that the
authorities of Benares had to interfere
and all the monkeys found outside the
inclosure were transported for life In
some mysterious way the monkey popu-
lation has largely decreased.

DOM from which he came, Dr. Maclean
announced that he was going to treat the
ankle with the cautcr. This instrument
is the white hot iron that became some
what celebrated from the fact that Clara
Morris, the actress, was benefited By its
use in Paris some years ago. The item
went the rounds under the heading :sThe
Terrible Moxa," and benefited Clara
also as first-rste free advertisement.
When the man next came in he Law un-
conscious on the table. The cauter is
strange instrument, whose working
must admit do not understand. One
man held bottle, another seemingly
compressaDle green bulb. These, and
tho cauter which the doctor held in his
hand, were connected by rubber tubes.
The bottle contained naphtha, and by
some means an intense flame seemed
to be directed along the pencii-
like cauter, that speedily produced a
white heat at the point of the instrument.
AS the doctor held it there was a Kissing
sound, and then with z-z-z-z-z-z the
point became dull red, next bright red,
and finally glowing white. With this,
as with pen of fire, the doctor wrote
on the white ankle of the unconscious
man. Doubtless he wrote ''healing. :"
Every touch of the moxa was followed
by black mark and smell of burning
flesh. Now and then the surgeon would
hold the dulling iron in the air for a mo-
ment till the flame lashcd it into a white
heat again.
Although the students applauded the
pluck of those who stood the operations
without the aid of the anesthetic, vet
on all other occasions the utmost silence
was maintained. There was nothing
theatrical about the clinic, yet some of
the situations were certainly as dramatic
as could be imag ned
There were many other most interest
ing cases of which have not the space

Lin Reading VS.. Articulation.

The New York institution for the in
struction of the deaf and dumb has
adopted simple e-method of applying
phonic analysis to the instruction of the
deaf, recently devised by the principal
of the institution, bJ which with the
eye the patient may observe the motions
of a speakers lips and other organs of
speech so accurately as to discern the
words uttered, not by the context, or
guess work, but by absolute recognition
Of their phonetic elements. 1t is found,
moreover, that the deaf mute who mas.
ters this system of lip reading is enabled
to speak within a shorter period and with
greater precision than under the old
system of teaching articulation.-Me,0

Eskimo Dogs.

Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka says
in St. Nicholas that hard as it may seem.
the Eskimo dog never gets fed oftener
than every other day, and generally
about every third day; while in times of
want and starvation in that terrible
country of cold, the length of time these
poor dogs will 60 without food seems
beyond belief.
once had fine team of nineteen fat
Eskimo dogs that went six or seven days
between meals for three consecutive
feelings before they reached the jour
ney's end and good food; and although
they all looked very thin, and were no
doubt very weak, none of them died /;
and yet they had been travelling and drag
ging heavy sledge for great part OF
the time Other travellers among the Is
kimo have given equally wonderful &C
counts of their powers or fasting. The
Eskimo have many times of want and
deprivation, and then their poor dogs
must suffer very much. But when they
are fed every other day on good fat wal
rus meat, and they do not have much
hard work to do, they will get as fat and
saucy and playful as your own dogs with
three meals day. One of the very best
things you would imagine to be good for
them is the best food they get; that is.

thickness md as wiry as sole leather.

The Seat of War in E.Ypt.

General r. E. Colsto1, formerly hey
in Egypt, contributes an article in the
Century, from which we quote the fol
lowing descri ption of a portion of the
present seat of war: "He who has trav-
eled through the desert cannot form a
just idea of that strange and marve Ious
region, in which all the ordinary condi-
tions of life are completely changed. 1t
is essentially waterless land, without
rivers, creeks, rivulets or springs. Once
away from the Nile, the only supply of
water is derived from deep wells, few,
scanty, and far apart. Long droughts
are frequent. When / explored the
great Arabian desert between the Nile
and the Red sea, it had not raine for
three years; and when l travelled over
the Suakim route and through Kord O.
fan, no rain had fallen for two years. Be
tween the twenty-ninth and the nine
teenth degree of latitude it never rains It
all. Water becomes precious to de-
gree beyond the conception of those who
have never known its scarcity. Members
of the Catho ic mission at Ell Obeid,
where water is much more plentiful than
in the deserts, assured me that, the sum-
mer before. water has been sold as high
as half dollar gallon by the propric-
tors of the few wells that hid not
dried up. When long drough.s
occur, the always scanty crop OF
doura fails away from the Nile, and the
greater parts of the fiocks and herds per
ish, as we'll as considerable part of the
population. 1t follows naturally that
when undertaking journey through
the desert, the paramount question is
water. A supply must be carried suffi-
cient to last to the next we'll, lie it one or
five days distant. 1t is usually carried in
goat and OK skins suspended from the
camels pack saddles. These are the
water bottles of Scripture, which become
leaky from wear, and always lose a con
siderable portion of their contents by
evaporation. The first thing afterreach-
ing we'll is to ascertain the quantity
and quality of its water. AS to the
former it may have been exhausted by a
preceding caravan, and hours may be re-
quired Tor new supply to ooze in again.
AS to the quality, desert water is gener-
ally bad, the exception being when it is
worse, though long custom enables the
Bedouins to drink water so brackish as
to be intolerable to all except themselves
and their f1ocks. Well do l remember
how at each we'll the first skinful was
tasted all around as epicurcs sip rare
wines Great was the joy if it was
pronounced 'moya helwa,' sweet water
but if the Bedou1ns said 'moo,h tayib,
not good, we might be sure it was So

is found in natural rocky reservoirs in
deep, narrow gorges, where the sun
