The Chinese Dynasty Threatenod

LONDON. November 27.-The board Of
foreign affairs at Pekin attempted to eS-
tabllsh strlcter rules for the government Of
the Mongols. requiring the chiefs Of obey
the Chinese governor at OOrga, and other
wise interfering with the customs Of the
tribes.
Some Of the chiefs refused to pay the
usual tribute. Troops were sent against
them, but they defeated them, and are now
said to be advancing on Pekin with the In
tentiOn OF establishing new dynasty. They
are excellent fighters, although not dis
cipllned, and are able TO vanqulsh any but
the best troops In the Chinese service.
This outbreak In Mongolia appears to
have no connection with the conspiracies
and Instructions In China proper. which
continue TO engage the attention Of the
government.
The Chinese army Is In better condition
that ever before, but the government does
not seem sure Of its loyalty. Should any
dissatisfaction gain ground among the
troops In ManchOoria, wnere the flower OF
the army is stationed to watch ths move
ments OF Russia, the chances for the
dynasty would be almost hopeless.

:" l am satisfied that Cottolene is
aperfect substitute for lard, and is
very superior to it for all cooking
purposes. Biscuits made from it are
much lighter; pie-crust moredelicate
and not SO greasy as that made from
lard. Oysters, Croquettes, &C., fried
initreach the perfection which cooks
desiret to have them-brown and dry,
and free from grease. Cottolene can
be used in fine cakes instead of but
ter where lard would injure their
flavor. Think Cottolene more health
full being SO much less greasy and
consequently more digestible.
Other testimonials to the
same effect come from all
the most celebrated writer's
and the highest authorities
upon cooking, for example:
