Cbineso FiQhtInr Powers.


The fighting power Of Chinese mi-
litia, when armed with modern weap-
ons, is evidenced by the frequent re-
pulses and defeats Will III the French
suffered during the campaign In Ton
quin, the last being that OF Gen. Ne
grler, near Lang-Son, nine days be-
fore the FrancC-Chinese treaty Of
peace was signed, and when the
French army of occupation in Ton
quln had been raised to 100000 men.
These Chinese troops were merely
levles from Yunnan, Kuang-tung,
and Kuang-si, and not part OF the
$780, who had been trained by
European officers in Northern China.
The total army Of China at that
time, including 100000 militia
known as the Green Flag Army, scat
tered through the various provinces,
was said to be about 10000 men.
In time of necessity this force could
be largely increased. The following
quotation from an author who had
experience with Gen. Gordon's "Evcr-
Victorious Army" shows Cinnamon

intelligence and capacity for remem-

for use in modern warfare, as does
also the GOODNESS and calmness of
their disposition. Physically, they
are, on the average, not so strong as

The oldest Active Doctor in Europe

The Oldest Active Doctor in Europe.
DIR. Borsy, Of Havre, who cele.
brated the Tooth anniversary of his
birth a few days ago, Is said to be the
Oldest practicing physician In Europe.
To a correspondent Of the Paris
Temps, who asked him on his birth
day regarding the secret Of his long,
healthy life, he said: IL am opposed

Two solid bodies, one yellow, sui

BILE property Of sulphide OF carbon
renders 1t valuable to stake spots off
of garments If its odor is more
disagreeable than that OF ben2ine or

tage of being dispelled quickly In
consequence Of the prompt eyapora-
ton Of the liquid, There is nothing
equal to 1t to take of spots Of paint
on clothes; it does not do 1t, how
ever, without creating fear in per-
sons who use 1t for the first time, for
they see on the very place where to
their great pleasure the paint had
disappeared a large white spot, the
nature Of which Is hard for them to
define, and the more they brush, the
more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows, Is then the gar

after "a few moments the spot melts
away never to show again. 1t was

Without operating on yoGr clothes
