While the Japs fought bravely in
 their war with China, due credit was
 not given the Chinese in the matter
 by the telegraphic reports, according to
 the views of P. N. McGiff1n, the United
 States naval academy graduate, who
 resigned from the United States service | to enter that of China and who com manded the Chinese iron-clad Chin -Yuen at the battle of the Yalu River. MT. Me Glffin has returned to this country to rest and recuperate. He received a number of wounds in the engagement and is still on the invalid list in con- sequence. He ayers that the Chinese lost the battle of the YaIu River, which was a stubborn one chiefly because they had no shells to use, but only solid shot, On the other hand the Japs were we'll equipped with shells, which did great execution. The shells set fire to the Chin-Yuen and great bravery was displayed by the Chinese In eXtin- gushing the flames in the face of a raklng fire from the enemy. "On the Chin-Yuen," added the officer, "there were several Chinese officers educated in this country, and they behaved splendidly. The Japanese outuumbered us in the matter of sh12t We were crippled at the Yalu and had to lay up for repairs. They had vessels in reserve to SCOUT the seas. All the stories told of the war are not true They have a Japanese coloring."
 There is every reason for giving faith to what Commander McGihin says All history teaches the lesson that any race or any nation will fight if it's soldiers or sailors are properly handled and properly treated. Chi nese sailors under McGifin fought well, just as Chinese soldiers fought well under Ward and Gordon.
 Ii Hung Chang still lives despite his having been divested of his yellow jacket and various other evidences of royal approval and in spite of his wound while visiting Japan and if he continues at the head of Chinese af- fairs a few years longer and is al- lowed to keep up his endeavors to mod ernize the Chinese army and it's fight ing equipment, who knows but that China will some day be able to do some tall fighting. With millions of soldiers properly drilled and taught and equip ped In up to date fashion China would indeed be a formidable opponent But l that time is some years distant yet That long felt want" of Li Hung Chang is likely to go unsatisfied in his day and generation.

General John Newton, who died at his home in New York this week, was a good soldier, noted engineer and a sterling citizen and patriot. He was well known to some of our leading cit izens through his important official con- nection with various Improvements of Long Island Sound, including the building of New Haven's breakwater. His most famous achievements were the mining and blowing up of the great rocks in Hell Gate channel, East Riv- CT. He was a graduate at West Point in 1842, standing second in a class which included w. s. Rosecrans, Henry L. Eustis, John Pope, Seth Williams, Earl Van Dorn, James Longstreet and D H. Hill, all of whom, besides some other members, made names for them selves in the civil war, on one side or the other. In the war he served with honor in the Pennsylvania campaign with Mcclellan. He won honors also at South Mountain, Antietam, Chancel- lorsville and Gettysburg and was given the brevet of brigadier and major gen eral in the regular army. In 1884 he was made chief engineer with the rank of brigadier.

land of Confucius to find Russia's great and growing demand for an open har- bor on the Pacific strongly emphasized. There is so great a clamor among the Japanese for holding on to what it has gained from China, sea ports included, that if Russia becomes aggressive Japan will clinch with the Russian bear, and then there will be red-handed war again. To be a Japanese statesman at the pres ent time is almost as undesirable a berth as those occupied respectively by u Hung Chang and our own Gresham, the latter of whom seems to have his hands full of foreign complications and constantly displays his mediocre ability in dealing there with. He doesn't fill the bill and dwin- dies woefully in comparison with some of his predecessors in the chair of sec- retary of state; for instance, Seward and Blaine.

had possessed. Specimens of his writ
 ing are given in both stages; and while
 his Welsh writing is almost wholly H.
 legible, and appears to go from right to
 left, like the reversed image of writing
 as seen in a mirror, the English writing
 Is more legible, goes from left to right,
 and is in every way more normal. In | his Welsh state he was so inert that he
 sat crouched together, and could hardly | be induced to make any effort at all.
 In his English stage, when he used his right hand and the left side of his
 brain was at work though theivish, he was good-humored, and keen to get money or tobacco by any means in his
 power, In short, it seemed as if the little trace of mind he had left almost all belonged to the time when the left side of his brain was at work, and hardly any of it to the Welsh or right lobe of the brain.
 The disease had begun apparently in the lobe which is less closely connected with mental associations, and had pro ceeded farthest there. It had attacked, but not proceeded so far in the lobe which is most closely connected with the effort to think and speak and write and wish. What may be called the more animal brain was going first, and the more intellectual brain was slowly following, For very short intervals there was period when both sides of the brain still seemed to work together; but there seems to have been no evil dence that in that very temporary stage he was more intelligent than in his English stage only. But these inter- vals were so brief, so merely transition stages, that there was hardly any fair opportunity of testing there character. MT. Bruce seems to think, though he does not give us his grounds for think ing, that even in health Hugh Parry that was his name-had used the two sides of his brain independently, and not in coordination, not as the eyes are used in binocular vision. Even if both were used together, they would, he thinks, be used simultaneously, but not so as to help each other in a common effort And when disease set in they began to be used alternately with very brief intervals of simultaneous activity, London Spectator.

Divided Brain.

Tn the quarterly journal of the Neu- rological society, called Brain, just is- sued, there is a. curious and interesting paper by MT. Lewis c. Bruce, late assis-
 tant medical officer to the Derby Bor- ough Lunatic asylum, on a case he had carefully studied while at that insti- tuition. The peculiarity of the case was this--that it appeared to show that while some general deterioration of the
 brain was going on, it was going on at a different rate in the two lobes of the brain; that sometimes the right side of the brain alone acted In which case the patient talked almost only Welsh, and had hardly any interest in life at all, showing no sort of eagerness either for money or tobacco, or anything but his food alone, and that he was almost en- tirely left-handed and idiotic; while when that side of the brain became in- ert and the other took its place, he spoke chiefly English, was eager for money and tobacco, and even thievish in his desire to possess himself of these objects, and right-handed in his physi- cal habits; and that for a certain Inter- val between the two condition he had short period In which he mingled Welsh and English words, used both hands,and showed an Intermediate sort of dispo- sition, being more alive than in his left handed condition, when he spoke Welsh almost exclusively, and, we imagine, less alive than in his right-handed con- dition, when he spoke chiefly English.
 The suggestion of the paper is, we gather, that in the more deteriorated or Welsh stage he had lost all command of the acquisitions of the most active part of his life, and retained only a trace of those which were most automatic and deeply imbedded in his habits, being very nearly an idiot; while in his Eng fish stage, though restless and maniac al he had still some eager desires left, was far more excitable, far keener to enjoy the few pleasures which were then still open to him, and kept some feeble command over the powers which, att the brightest pertodf-of his lifee-heq

| An outcry has been raised in Boston | that the rapid transit commission con-
 templates the mutilation and cutting l down of the sacred elms on the Ire mont and Boylston malls of the Com

 All lovers of trees will share the natu-

 admiration of all visitors, and on the rude stone benches in their shade rich
 man and beggar alike have sat down to
 watch the passing show. Here it was,
 rumor has it, that Wendell Phillips used to sit and wait during the long summer days, and the Autocrat after
 taking the long walk with the little school-teacher is credited with having rested here for a time. The destroying line is then to be extended up Boylston street, where a large number of trees will come under the ban, and then, as said the Boylston street walk of the public garden will be deprived of shade and comfort and made as hot and un- comfortable as sand bath in the Sa- hara."

VINE OF MINERAL WATER.

Some Temperance People Object to Being
 Charged for "Drinl1."
 [From the New York Herald.l
 I've have stopped charging guests the item wines and liquors on the bill" said a hotel clerk. Formerly every thing a customer had to drink was put down under that head, but we got into trouble through it and we have chang ed our methods.
 "A temperance lecturer, a woman, stopped here not long ago. She ran up an enormous bill for mineral waters, and when her husband, who came from Chicago, to take her west, found the item wines and liquors $3S.15,' on the bill he kicked up a terrible row, think Ing that she had been on a colossal spree in his absence. They had heat ed debate, and 1t required the produc- tion of the liquor cards to satisfy him of her innocence.
 After she had argued it out with him she descended upon us like an ava lanche, and threatened to have us all arrested for libel. Since then we have put on bills simply mineral waters Some guests don't understand the item. A man will come and tell us that he drank 6s cocktails, but that he had no mineral waters, and want to know why he is charged with something he didn't drink Then I explain to him that it is our custom, and point out also that the mineral water bill would be a good thing to show his wife when he gets home, and this usually strikes him as good idea and he puts 1t in his pocket chuckling.
 But there are men who won't have it at all. No sailing under false coloIs for me- they will say. Young man, you've got to change that bill to whis- ky and gin fzzes, and make the change. They declare that they aren't

 There is a marked contrast to this
 sort of headgear in the wee affairs that are donned in the evening, but the diff ference is more matter of bulk of the materials than anything else, for the tiniest of bonnets are quite as fanciful- ly contrived as the hat pictured above.

Towards the ends of the fillet are woven snoods of lace, and perhaps the stem of a flower the flower hang ing against the lace. Such headdress rests so far back on the head that it is not visible on top from the front, but the snoods of lace and the flowers show back of the ears and against the neck.

Whatever may be said regarding the Dr. Lee trials, there is no necessity for blaming the states attorney for doing what the law says he shall do. The su- preme court of the state called for a new trial, finding an error in the charge of the lower court in the case. The case then came to the grand jury, and the grand jury indicted Dr. Lee according to due process of law. The states at torney had no alternative but to retry the case.
