which has been rapidly gaipiug in strength
and which is believed to be giving the Chi
nese government more resl uneasiness than
the trouble with, Japan. The people en-
gagged in this revolution have absolutely no
sense of patriotism. All they desire is an
opportunity to depose the reigning dynasty,
and foist themselves into power. Three
hundred years ago when long war IN
Corea with Japan had exhausted
the Chinese government. the Man
chus swept down upon Pekin, and over
threw the Ming dynasty. 1t is, probably,
just appreciation of the lessons of this
event which has led the Chinese Viceroy to
move very slowly in the war with China,
and to keep the best equipped and most eff
fective troops of the empire at home. The
Japanese people have been rapidly modern
lied in the last two decades. They are in
telligent, quick-witted and progressive. The
troops are fully equipped with rapid
firing modern rifles, and are thoroughly
drilled and disciplined. Japan has fine
navy. efficiently manned. Should she fol-
low up the series of brilliant victories she
has already won by rapid move upon Pc
kin, it might very likely cause the COM
plete aud rapid breaking up of the big
Chinese empire. Military experts who
have studied the situation very carefully,
in all its bearings are coming more and
more to the opinion that Japan will win the
day. Americans, who have never been
half way in their sympathies, will indulge
the hope that su eh may be the case.

MAINE GOSSIP.

One small boy in Belfast has arrived at
the conclusion that tramps, or at least some
of them, have one redeeming quality-per-
severance-although he does not appreciate
the cause in which they exercised it. The
boy is son of the sheriff, and last spring
he had some pet rabbits, which ran about
the yard outside the buildings. One day
the pets were missing and inquiry showed
that the prisoners in the Jail had, by means
of moose worked through the bars, shared
the rabbits, and afterwards made them into
a pot pie over the corridor stove.

1t is said that DIR. c. f. Tenant, profess
sor of chemistry and toxicology, in the Ho-
meopathic Hospital, of Denver, Colorado,
has discovered an antidote for strychnine.
1t is said to be harmless in itself, but when
added to solution of sulphate of strychnia
Immediately forms an insoluable precipitate
of the latter drug, which makes the poison
entirely harmless. Experiments have
proved that a filtered solution, after the
strychnine had been precipitated, has no
poisonous properties. Extensive expert
ments are being made with this discovery
which there is good reason to believe will
prove very valuable one.
