A Falstaffian Celestial Army.

[Tamsui Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.l
The portion of the Chinese army seen
In Formosa fairly represents the whole
of it. My association with it has in GER
tain ways been constant. 1t has been
all about me. I have been ingulfed in
it. could not stir out of doors without
brushing against soldiers alone, or in
struggling squads of two, three or a
a dozen. This intimate observation has
not tended to strengthen my confidence
in its efficiency. That armies can be
made out of the Cinnamon of some of
the provinces cannot be doubted, but it
must be under other officers and other
systems. The appearance of the officers
is even more unmilitary than that of
the private soldiers. A mandarin fed
on such intellectual pabuIum as
the Chinese classics, bred in
the nost fastidious and formal
etiquette in the world, frocked like a
monk, and without the slightest knowl-
edge of the military art, cannot by any
possibility make good military leader.
A few of them can occasionally be seen
at the Red Fort looking timidly through
glasses at the French ships outside, or
in sedan-chairs with a small and re-
markedly unwarlike escort of soldiers.
It is not at all to the discredit of these
zen that fighting is not their trade, but
it is the height of absurdity for them to
attempt to fight when they know moth
ing about it as a science and entirely
lack the spirit. There are understood
to be regiments and companies. There
are also said to be colonies, majors and
captains, but there being neither tactics
nor drill, these officers in action can
only embarrass one another. A fegi-
ment ordered to meet the enemy can
only perform its duty by deploying into
limo

A Bad Omen.

We should be heedful of warnings. Nature
gives us such. Inactivity of the kidneys and
bladder is omen Of danger. The diseases
which attack those organs are among the most
fatal and obstinate, and are usually preceded by
the above symptom of growing weakness The
best invigorant under such circumstances is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a safe well &C.
tive remedy. The proper degree of energy is
impaired to the operations of these important
secreting and discharging glands, without over
stimulation by the Bitters In that respect as
in others, it surpasses and is preferable to dur
etics which overact The article is also remedy
for and preventive of chlls and fever and bilious

experience the we'll known symptoms Of any of

COlfax as a Journalist.
from the South Bend Register. I


Mr.. CoIfax was one of the few men
who are "born journalists" AS boy
he manifested a penchant for politics
and the collecting of political data, and
was accustomed to form his own con-
illusions on matters of public import
ance. Soon after coming to South
Bend he spent two winters at Indian
apolis reporting the proceedings of the
legislature for the State Journal, and
his establishment of the st. Joseph
Valley Register in 1885 was but a
natural result of the tendencies of his
mind. On last Saturday Mr.. Colfax
was in the editorial-room of the Regis
ter and talking about the days when he
was the editor, business manager, and
man-of-all-work on the paper. He said
it was his custom to put in the evenings
on his books, writing mailing wrappers,
attending to his correspondence,
etc. The farmers and others would
drop in on publication day and sit in
the Office reading the paper and discuss
ing with him the subjects he had edito-
rialized upon, Mr.. Colfax meantime
keeping on with his work. "And to
those friendly discussions" said Mr..
Colfax, II attribute my popularity with
the farmers which stood me in such
good stead in later years." One day
the late Henry Stull was in the Office
and after reading an old editorial with
which he was particularly pleased said ::
Schuyler, you will be congressman
before die. Mr.. Colfax modestly demur-
red, but Mr.. Stull insisted that man
who could write an editorial as that could
not fail to become prominent. Mr..
Stull was true prophet. He not only
lived to see him elected to Congress, but
to see him returned again and again and
finally chosen vice-president of the
limited States

ABOUT twenty-five years since Mason & Ham
lin announced important improvements in reed
instruments, then known as melodeons. SO
considerable were the changes and improve
ments that they claimed for their new instru-
ment another and better name-organ or cab
met organ-by which it has become universally
known, and obtained wonderful usefulness and
success; about $4,000 organs being now made in
this country yearly, while American organs are
largely exported to every civilized country.
The same company now offer to the public
an improved Upright Piano, which they--hav
been experimenting upon and testing for
number of years, and confidently claim pre-
sents improvements of the greatest practical
value. A distinguishing CHARACTERISTIC is that
they entirely dispense with wood in holding the
strings, which are secured by metal fastenings
directly to the iron plate, SO securing perfect
vibration and more pure musical tones, with
much greater durability. The changing condi-
lions of wood, so Objectionable in such mat
ter, are entirely avoided, The improvement
certainly seems to be one of great Importance

Small Cross Examiner.

TFrom the San Francisco Chronicle1
A man who is rather bore was
placed in very embarrassing position
few days ago at kettledrum up
town. He was relating to some ladies a
serious accident he met with when out
riding. He was thrown from his horse
and knocked insensible. He vas car
ried into an adjacent house, and it was
some hours before he recovered con-
seriousness. The recital interested a
little girl who was there, and during the
murmurs of sympathy which went up
from the listeners, some of whom had
heard the yarn several times, this little
girl came over and looked at him.
did you know anything. when you
were lying on the road where the horse
throwed you?" she asked with the most
inquiring of big blue eyes.
mo, my child; nothing at all" said
he benignantly.
"Do you know anything now?" He
excused himself very shortly and left.

Malaria or Laziness.
from the Hartford Times. |


There are many persons who are pos
sessed of state of mind in which they
have settled belief in the reality of
things which have no existence. The
longer this hallucination is INDUCED in,
the more deeply rooted it becomes. In
many cases it ultimately develops into
monomania or delusional insanity. Now,
there are some people who are always
in alarm for fear of heart disease, when
the extent of their trouble is mild dys-
pepsia and nervousness is an aristocrat-
ic name for irritability and bad temper.
Two-thirds of the so-called malaria is
nothing but laziness.
A certain physician performs many
of his most remarkable cures of So
called nervous diseases simply by his
wonderful success in perguading pa
tients that nothing on earth ails them.
Few physicians have the ability to do
this, and still fewer have the discre-
ton to adopt a course of treatment
adapted to the mental peculiarities Of
each particular case. Sometimes per-
suasion is necessary, but frequently a
tonic, combined with little scolding,
produces the desired result. Let the
bogus malaria cases stand up and be
counted.

Not in her eyes that such eloquence speak,
Not in the blush of her velvety cheek,

Not In her fingers cute tapering tips,
Not in the curve of her chic little foot,
Not in her wit, ayeso gracefully put
Not in her ear, like some rose tinted shell,
Not in her teeth that no pearls can excel,
Not in her smile that a saints heart might win,
Not in the dimples that grace her plump chin
Not in good sense in which none are above her,
Not In her breath, sweet as blossoming clover
Not in her form as perfection complete,
Not in her laugh so melodiously sweet,
Not in her neck. than the sloe-blossom whittier, ;
