CHINA PREPARED.
THOUGH RELUCTANT TO PUSH THE
CONFLICT,
The Revolution May be Followed
by Prolonged Anarchy.

LONDON, October l6.-A dis
patch to the Times from Tien
Tsin says that the Pei Yang
squadron has been able to
leave the dock completely refitted,
with magazine, refilled and other
wise ready for active service. An
other dispatch to the same paper,
which will also be published today
says an imperial edict has been
published at Pekin associating for
the government full responsibility
for the protection Of foreign resi-
dents, denouncing rowdyism and
Furnishing certain culprits, shown
to have taken part in the cent
assaults upon travellers. The i'm
perial edict assures strangers that
their persons and property will be
protected and its wording especial
ly favors the missionaries. The
whole tone Of the edict is highly
satisfactory.
The Chinese overtures for peace
having been rejected without hear.
ing the war now enters upon a
chronic stage demanding an APP
peal to the latent forces of the en-
pire. The latter are described as be-
ing great, but it is added that they
required time in order TO organize
them.
The Chinese government is pre-.
pared, though reluctant to do so, to
engage in a protracted conflict.
The party in power recognizes the
urgency of radical military and fis-
cal reforms. The question is:
GLOW long will the natural cohe-
sion bear the strain of a great war?
The danger is, the correspondent
adds, that a revolution may be
followed by prolonged anarchy.

fixedly out OF the window and
there was a terrible expression OF
fear on his face. Suddenly there
was a shout. Both the men on the
locomotive looked out. A man was
trying to turn the switch. Anoth-
er just behind him was about to
jump across the track. He fell.
Here the voice of the injured man
rose almost to a shrek. "John
yelled to me, I'VE are going to RIM
a man down. Let's jump Then
l saw him go downward from the
cab and strike the switch and then
1 jumped" and the speaker sank
down exhausted.
The broken glass and casing OF
the window showed all too plainly
how he had jumped. The dream
warning John had led Tom to
his death. The friends could not
be parted.

OF capturing it. The robbery was
evidently committed between

Senses 70 to Sleep in Order.

According to the best writers on the
subject, says an exchange, it has been
ascerlained that, in beginning 10 sleep
the senses do not unitedly fall into u
state of slumber, but drop off one
after the other. The sight ceases, in
consequence of the protection OF the
eyelids, to receive impressions first,
while all the other senses preserve
their sensibility entire. The sense OF
taste is the next which loses its sns-
ceptibility to impressions, and then
the sense of smelling. The hearing
is next in order, and last of all come
the sense of touch. Furthermore the
senses are thought to sleep with diff
ferent degrees of profoundness. The
sense of touch sleeps the most lightly,
and it is the most easily awakened !;
the next easiest is the hearing; the
next is the sight and the taste and
smelling awake the last.
Another remarkable circumstance
deserves notice: certain muscles and
parts of the body begin to sleep be-
fore others. Sleep commences at the
extremities, beginning with the feet
and legs, and creeping toward the
centre of nervous action. The ne
cessity for keeping the feet warm and
ferfectly still, as a preliminary of
sleep, is we'll known. From these
explanations it will appear surpris-
ing that with one or more of the senses
and perhaps also one or more parts OF
the body, imperfectly asleep, there
should be at the same time an imper-
feet kind Of mental action, which pro-
duces the phenomenon OF dreaming.

Little Worries.

We have read of battle against
cannibals gained by the use of tacks.
They had taken possession of whal-
ing vessel, and bound the man who
was left in care of it. The crew, on
returning, saw the situation, and scat
tered upon the deck of the vessel the
tacks, which penetrated the bare feet
of the savages. and sent them bowling
into the sea. They were ready to meet
lance and sword, but they could not
overcome the tacks on the floor. We
brace ourselves up against great GALA
mites. The little tacks of life, scatter.
ed along our way, piercing our feet and
giving us pain, are hard to bear. A
pastor was absorbed in studying the
Question of socialism, when his wife
came in with despair on her face, and
she wanted advice about the servants.
"Oh, my DEAR" be replied, II cannot
give my time to little matters like do
mestic service. I am trying to solve
the social problem of the universe"
"Well," replied the wife, "you solve
the problem in the kitchen, and will
promise you to solve the problem OF
the universe in twenty-four hours"
Really, it is easier to dispose of those
great questions which cover the world
than it is to meet and successfully
overcome the little worries which pre-
sent themselves day by day.-Rev. A.
G.. Dixon.
