CHINESE SOLDIERS.
A Remarkable Promotion-How the On
cefs Rob the Government.


Gers Rob the Government.
A young man from my native town
entered the army, and by dint Of hard
fighting and real merit rose to the rank
of brigadier general, but with him at
every promotion rose his brother, whom
I will call K, who had not met him
for years and who was peacefully occu-
pied as cook in a distant opium den.
This is how it was done. The soldier,
after each engagement in which he dis
tinguished himself, reported imaginary
deeds of valor performed by his brother,
and his word was taken. One day the
cook in the opium den, who had never
even seen a battle, read his name in The
Gazette and found to his surprise that
he had attained the rank Of colonel in
the imperial forces.
Military service is in many ways
very remunerative to the officers. They
enroll any men they like, and they al
ways draw the pay for many more men
than are actually in the army. About
70 per cent of the full number of men
nominally serving and for whom pay is
drawn is the average strength of the
forces, even under Ii Hung Changes
comparatively honest officers, while
elsewhere 100 men on paper usually
mean but 40 or 30 in the flesh. On re-
view days the officers engage sufficient
number of soldiers by the day to make
the army look all right. But there are
other sources Of profit besides dealing
in dummy soldiers. The live ones have
to wear uniforms and to eat, and both
food and clothes are supplied at extor-
tionate prices by the officers, so that Of
the taels per month paid by the gov
eminent for each soldier, about one-fifth
or less reaches the pockets of the men.
All this refers to the ''braves" who are
only engaged during wartime and are
disbanded the moment the fighting is
over wherever they may happen to be
and nearly always without the means
OF returning to their homes, thus keep
ing up the supply of armed robbers all
over the empire.
AS to the soldiers of the standing
army in times of peace, they are, with
the exception Of the Mantchoo garrison,
SO wretchedly paid that it's strength ex-
lists only on paper. The men enlist and
regularly draw their pays shillings
per month-and have scarcely any fur
ther connection with the military serv-
ice. The few that go on duty in the city
gates live entirely on brides. The Man.
chu force under the Tartar general, on
the other hand, is we'll paid, but these
soldiers do no fighting. They are only
engaged in guarding the city against
Chinese rebels. They live in separate
quarter to that occupied by the Chinese,
on whom they often make unprovoked
attacks. Thus fights between the Chi
nese and the Tartar soldiery are of COM
mon occurrence, and as these Tartar SOL
diers are not under the jurisdiction of
the civil law their outrages invariably
go UNPUBLISHED. Naturally there is no
love lost between the city guards and
the native Chinese. English Exchange

Think what one Of these gums is. It
is q piece Of solid steel weighing about
go tons. q has a chamber running
nearly it's entire length Is inches in di-
ameter. At the breech of the gun that
chamber is enlarged to q diameterof 15k
inches for Ga feet. The long tube Of
the gun is strengthened BY an enormous
band, reaching almost half its length
and called a Jacket and in addition
1t has what is called a hoop or band
with the appliances whereby the gun is
fastened or locked to it's carriage. In
side the tube of the gun there are about
90 spiral grooves, which give the pro-
jectile or long bullet twist as it leaves
the gun. That twist causes the projeotile
to turn nearly IS times second as it
plunges through the air. mis- projectile

war requires not only great skill, but
the use of very costly machinery. Not
only must the steel be cooked in enor-
nous furnaces, but it must be seasoned
as delicately as the most expensive dish
for a banquet. Chemistry is called upon
to say just when the metal of which
the gun is made is Of the proper degree
Of purity.
Then the steel is cast into long cast
ing. When it is cooled, it is forged or
elongated under pressure while hot
Then it is turned outside and inside on
enormous lathes. Then it is tempered,
SO as to harden the metal and to distrib-
ute the molecules evenly through the
mass to prevent dangerous strains and
bursting when the gun is fired. Then it
is turned again outside and inside with
absolute accuracy as to size. Then the
powder chamber is finished, and the
mechanism for the fastening of the
breech block is made. Then the gun is
ready for its carriage, without which,
Of course, it could do no work. -Har-

His View of Our Women.

According to the Rev. DR.. F. E. CLARK,
American women are thus referred to
by the Swami Vivekanenda, the Hindoo
who was so popular with women while
he was in this country: "When wom-
an tries her best to find a husband, she
goes to all the bathing places imagi-
nable aud tries all sorts of tricks to catch
a man. When she fails in her attempts,
she becomes what they call in America
an old maid and joins the church.
Some Of them become very 'churchy.
These churchwomen are awful fanatics.
They are under the thumb Of the priests
there. Between them and the priests
they make a hell on. earth. They make
q mess Of religion. With the exception
of these the Americans are very good
people. They loved me SO much. loved
them. I felt as though I was one of
them. = New York Tribune.

Gludness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It's therefore
ali important, in order to get It's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, 2
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but Il in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-iuformed everywhere, Syrup OF
FIGS stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
