The Liver

When out of order, involves every organ Of
the body. Remedies for some other derange-
ment are frequently taken without the least
effect, because it is the liver which is the real
source of the trouble, and until that is set
right there can be no health, strength, or
comfort in any part of the system. Mercury,

Big Guns in China.

The Pekin Gazette contains curious
memorial from the viceroy of Canton re-
specting 102 71-centimeter guns manu-
factured by Krupp on the order of Chang
Chihtung, the late viceroy of the prov
ince. The viceroy says the guns are
excellent in every respect, but they do
not suit the Notifications for which they
were intended. The damp climate of
the province and the white ants, (which
eat anything and everything" would
destroy them; the district is so hilly that
they could not be moved, the coast is
composed of wet sand, in which the
wheels would get fixed Immediately; the
guns are too long for the embankment
on which they were to be placed and
could not be turned around; there are no
horses in the province to drag them, and
If there were there is no forage for them;
finally, the horses in the adjacent prov
inces are so small that if they were i'm
ported they could not drag such heavy
guns. The obstacles being so numerous
and insurmountable, the memorialist
asks that he may be allowed to transfer
the guns to his brother, Lii Hung Chang,
for use in the north, payment to be made
for them when he can. Should he re-
ceive any money from his brother on
this account, the memorialist promises
to report the fact. The emperor author
izes this course to be followed

Against the Insurance COMPANY.


A merchant who was member of a
mutual accident insurance association
was killed, while hunting for recreation,
from an accidental shot. The associa-
ton provided for the payment of sums
ranging from $1,000 to $500, according
to the occupation of the member. Mer-
chants certificates call for So, 600; but
the company paid the benefciaries of
the man in question only $500, on the
strength of provision that any member
receiving an injury while engaged tenn
porarily in another occupation more
hazardous than the one given in his GER
tificatc, he shall be entitled only to sucn
sum as provided for in the occupation in
in which he is engaged at the time of
injury.
The Illinois supreme court held that
the benefciaries were entitled to the
whole So 900. as the word Occupation"
in the bylaw has reference to trade, yo-
cation or profession, and does not pre-
clude a member from the performance
of acts which are simply incidents con-
nected with the daily life of men in all
pursuits.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

An ingenious and simple instrument
has been devised for the protection of
surface men at work on the railways.
The inventor, Sir William Arrol, was
led to apply his mind to this matter in
consequence of the numerous fatalities
which have lately occurred among that
class of railway servants in England.
The instrument consists of a steel spring
connected with portable electric bat
terry and bell by coil of wire two or
three hundred yards long. When the
spring has been bolted into position on
the inner side of the rail and almost flush
with the top of the rail the battery is
carried to the neighborhood of where
the workmen are engaged, the connec-
ton being kept up by the coil of wire,
which is unwound to the necessary
length.
When train comes along the spring
is depressed by the hanges of the wheel
rs they pass over and two metallic but
tons, one on the under side of the spring
aud the other on the upper side of the
sole plate, are brought into contact and
complete an electric circuit supplied
from the battery, ringing the bell at the
battery and thus warning the workmen
of the approaching train. The instru-
ments are to be kept at the signal boxes
along the line so as to be readily avail
able by the workmen. Sir William Arrol
does not intend to patent the invention.
His sole desire is to render the surface
mans life less dangerous one and he
gives all railway companies permission
to manufacture as many as they please.

a Chinese Goxernor.

Tshang Yao, the governor of the pro-
vince of Shantung, who died recently,
was one of the highest dignitaries of the
Celestial empire. He had highly ad-
venturous career. Born in lowly posi-
ton, he was obliged to flee in his youth
on account of having murdered the tor
mentor of an old man. He became a
robber and soon stood at the head of all
the brigands who made the province of
Human unsafe. When, during the re-
bellion, the chief town of the province
was threatened, the governor issued a
proclamation in which he promised the
hand of his daughter to the man who
would save the town from the enemy.
At the head of 500 bandits, Tshang
beat off the attack of the rebels, and led
home on the next day, as reward for
his bravery, the almond eyed beauty.
Then he made rapid progress He was
not able to read or write, but was of
great integrity, and died poor as he was
born. He was called by his people, on
account of his charity, Tshang, ''the
blue sky" 1t is said, however, that he
was not always just toward Europeans,
and especially the missionaries. London

An Incenious Prisoner.

1t is seldom that convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as an inmate of Maryland
prison. His term of Imprisonment is
thirteen years, ON a conviction of horse
stealing, of which he insists he was in
nocent. By working overtime he has
earned such sums of money as to enable
him to purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200. A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re-
suit was the construction of half dozen
different electrical appliances, including
burglar alarm, which he has just COM
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of
the prison.
Another result of his industry is a lock
which is SO arranged that hammering on
it drives the bolts deeper into their fas-
tening. He exhibited model of this
lock to the warden, who was SO pleased
with it that it was at once adopted for
use in the prison. Castings for the locks
were made in the prison foundry, a lathe
was set up in the prisoners cell and he
was relieved of all other tasks SO that his
entire time could be devoted to the man
ufacture of his locks, with which in a
short time all the dormitories of the
prison will be provided.-Exchange.
