has become possessed with mania for
eating. She has to be fed at short inter
walls, and anything that is edible she de-
YOURS ravenously. Local physicians
thought that she was suffering from a
nervous affection of the stomach, and they
suggested that she be forced to take food
until she became nauseated. This was
tried, but she ate all that was placed be-
fore her without showing signs of dis
tress. A physician from Hartford put
the patient on a diet of three meals day.
She became delirious, and had to be fed
until her voracious appetite was satisfied.

1 THE DISTURBANCES IN CHINA.

Matters Calming Down, but Warships
Necessary-PerfdiousB Britain.
D xIetRegarding the Chinese disturbances, SO
Ear as the United Press correspondent
pan judge, matters seem to be calming
Rown considerably, owing in great
easure to the concentration in Chinese
Waters of SO many foreign warships and
to the plain talk INDUCED in by the rep
resentatives of the powers. China, it
seems, will do little or nothing to protect
or to do common justice to foreigners so
long as the diplomats alone take hand
in the game. but when the foreign minis
tiers are backed up by powerful warships.
and plenty of them, their voices seem to
have persuasive sweetness which was
altogether lacking when the warships
were absent or few in number here
abouts.
May BE Only Treacherous Calm.
The hatred expressed for the missionar-
les however, does not abate in its bitter
ness. In fact, beneath the present state
of treacherops calm there seems to be a
general feeling OF disquiet. The prov
ince of Human Tor Yun-Nan), the most
southwesterly of the Chinese provinces,
is seething with uneasiness in manner
most ominous and strongly indicative of
the intrigues OF Russian agents. British
agents also are said to be at work there,
though the average British official would
turn pale with horror and disgust were it
even suggested to him that such a thing
was possible.
British Agents Stirring Up Trouble.
The United Press correspondent, how
ever, is in position to state that though
the province OF Human may be at present
the stamping ground of a number Of Rus
sian agents whose duty it may be to
foster disturbances by all the means in
their power, the presence of British
agents there is well-known to the Chinese
government and that no kind OF a denial
will convince the Chinese government
that this is not the case England is rs
deep as Russia in this business, il not
deeper, and a great deal of the growth OF
the British empire is due to these in
trigues.
All Sin Wants to Try His Guns.
Prince Ii. the Chinese premier, has
been playing a sharp game between Rus
sia and England. but Lord Sails
bury's inaction has foiled the
willy statesman's plans to get
the two nations at each others throats.
From present indications trouble is inev-
liable between China and the powers. 1t
is becoming obvious that the Chinese are
hostile to all foreigners and that the inn
perial government will not be sorry to see
hostilities begin, with view of demon
strating the strength of the empire and
the efficiency Of the newly organized army
aud navy.
China to Be Sliced Up.
Sooner or later the Russian bear and the
British lion, to say nothing of the French
eagle, will tear large slices out of Chinese
territory, in order to appease. momentar-
lily, their hunger for Asiatic territory.
Then there may developments Of sad
nature for the foreigp residents of China.
