The CraftY Chinamnn.

The Chinamen in this country, who have recently been required to be pho tographed in compliance with the Chi nese registration act, have resorted to trickery to evade the law. Passing through the Chinese quarter in Phila- delphia few days ago, two detectiv>ls saw a native of the Flowery Kingdom taking photographic camera into his shop. This being an article not often found in Chinaman's possession, the officers began an investigation. They soon learned that the Mongolian had gone into the picture business with a view of playing tricks on Uncle Sam. Under the law every slant-eyed Celestial is required to file his photograph with poses of identification at any future time. This is to prevent the transfer of certificates of residence It was learned that the Philadelphia China. mans scheme was to make photographs of his compatriots in such a way that they would fade and become indis- tinguishable within a year-not difi- cult task, as every amateur in the land can attest In fact, the difficulty seems to lie in the direction of permanency. After the picture had faded away o1 course the officials could not tell whether it was that of given China man or not, and there is some doubt whether they would be much better off with a well-preserved photograph in view of the similarity of the subjects with whom they have to deal It is said that the scheme outlined has been transmitted to all the large cities and that photography has been generally taken up by the Chinamen.

No one knows these facts better than women themselves, and the inside history of feminine lives would reveal a story of tired bodies, unstrung and ex- citable nerves, wearied limbs, aching heads and backs, with that exhausted, dragged out feeling which makes their lives miserable.
 The we'll known Etta E. Haven, of New Boston, Conn, writing upon this subject says:
 Dr Greene'S Nervura blood and nerve remedy Is wonderful remedy for nerv- ous prostration, and those terrible tired, weak feelings that maks life a burden, almost too great to bear. I feel that I cannot say enough in it's praise for what it has done for me. It gives one the most restful sleep, and in fact does all and more than all it claims to do. l wish every poor, tired woman on the face of the earth could be induced to try it for three days; they would then understand its value, and life would not seem so wearisome and undesir- able"
 It Is fact that the great nerve invig- orant and female restorative is Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy. No remedy in the world is so sure to bring back the bloom and color to the wan and faded cheeks, the brilliancy to the hollow and haggard eyes, the light ness and elasticity to the weak and weary step, the strength and vitality to the unstrung, shattered and worn out nerves. It IS the greatest of all uterine tonics and regulators, and perfectly and completely cures all female weakness and disease.
 If our readers are troubled in this way we should advise them by all means to use this remarkable remedy. We know it to be purely vegetable and harmless and it is within every body's reach as all druggists sell it for S1. It is the dis, covery and prescription of Dr Greene oi 35 West 14th street, New York, the emi nent specialist in the treatment of ner. vous and chronic diseases, and the doc tor can be consulted free, personally ol by letter, which is a guarantee of the l great value of the remedy.

In accordance with his own wish, the coffin was con- veyed to the cemetery on bicycles, four machines being braced together, and a platform constructed on which the coffin rested, the whole being draped in black, and covered with wreaths. This bicycle bier was guided to the cemetery by members of the club, some twenty or thirty other members being also present.

MORE TROOPS FOR EGYPT
The Situation Regarded as
 Alarming in London.


The Natives Are in Greatly Excited
 Condition, and Side With Their Ruler
 Against "Infidel Dictation"-Three War
 ships to be Sent to the Scene.
 LONDON, Jan. 4.-Egypt is the absorb ing topic of conversation here. The siGu- ation is alarming. The Khedive is deter mined to try conclusions with Cromer, regardless of the consequences. At a special meeting of Mir. Gladstone's Cabi- net to consider the situation, it was de cided to increase the number of British troops in Egypt because recent occur rences threaten to disturb the peace of the country.
 The endorsements to be sent, it is given out, are not likely to exceed ,00C troops and two warships for Alexan- dria and Port Said and one warship for Suez.
 The Egyptian situation is assuming a gravity which for the time overwhelms in the public mind all other issues, includ- ing even Irish Home Rule. Lord Roseberry has received telegraphic advices from Lord Cromer that the Khe dive haa intimated his intention to refer to the Turkish Sultan and to the treat y
  | the dismissal of the Fakhri Cabinet. Other advices from Cairo state that the natives are in more excited condition than at any time since. the outbreak under | Arabi Pasha.
 While a considerable part of the moder- ate and intelligent natives support the | British position, the multitude talk l sides with the khedive and against what l they call infidel dictation. l PARIS, Jan. 24-A Cairo despatch say that the Sultan has telegraphed to tn | Khedive his congratulations on the atti | tude the khedive assumed in respect t. the formation of Cabinet independen l of English interference. The Sultan vii send to the Khedive a gift of six horses | CAIRO, Jan. 24.-Lord Cromer, tn British representative in Egypt, ill an in terview, said: ''There is no cause to ap prehend disturbance, but you are a liberty to say that if disturbance shoul, occur l guarantee it would be of shor | duration"
 The khedive denies any intention o dismissing British officials from tn | Egyptian service.
 Ismail Pasha's son, chief of the Khe dives military household. has resigned but his resignation has not been accepted
