About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea, accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, we sent for a
physician and it was under his care
for a week At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tons of the bowels every twelve hours,
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and decided to try it, I soon noticed
a change for the better; by its con-
tinued use complete cure was
brought about and it is now perfectly
healthy.-C. L. BOGGS. Stumptown,

THE Awakening OF CHINA
MARQUIS ITO THINGS GREAT
CHANGES NEAR.


In reporting an interview with the
Marquis Ito, the Japan Gazette says:
Turning to the question of reforms
in China, Marquis Ito spoke with more
freedom and clearness. He expressed
it as his opinion, that China would
undergo great changes within the
next tour or five years. Not that
there would be complete awakening
but that there was every likelihood
that things would considerably adj
vance. for the visits to Japan of Chi
nese officials and even of private in
dividuals has greatly increased OF late,
and there could be no doubt that this
laudable desire on their part of study
ing public affairs i'm a foreign land,
showed that they were anxious for
improvement. In conversation with
some of these influential men, the
marquis said he had given them the
following excellent advice. First, the
government of China should at once
establish large and important bank
with a capital Of one hundred million
taels. and in pursuance of this scheme
they should engage some trustworthy
| foreigner and entrust to him the task
of starting and managing the bank
| should be given to the bank, so that
the foundation of the country's tinan-
ces might thus be laid on a firm ba-
sis, and an immense boon be thereby
given TO merchants and manufactur-
ers i'm the matter of money circula-
ton. Secondly, Il perfect school sys-
TEN based upon modern principles
should he established for the train
ing of military officers. who should be
thoroughly equipped with all the ne
cessary education attaching to their
profession. Thirdly, some improved
! system of CONSUMPTION should be at
once adopted such as that of Japan,
| for the method of recruiting in vogue
| i'm China was utterly useless. Besides
these matters, Marquis Ito recon-
mended that thorough reforms should
he instituted throughout the Chinese
| Empire. especially in matters as TO
improving the facilities of transport
and communication.

WEALTH OF LONDON CHURCHES.

\ book dealing with the present
condition of London city" churches,
by the Rev. II. w. Clarke, makes some
proposals which the Living Church
says. will startle some people. There
are forty-seven of these ancient chur-
ches, many of which are of small
practical utility. Thirtytwo of these,
Mr.. Clarke thinks, could be well spar
ed. He proposes that these be de-
molished and the sites sold. The es-
timated value is nearly $1S,000,000.
The interest on this added to the rev.
enues attached to the livings, would
give an annual income of 100000.
The plan is that this sum shall be
used not in building new churches,
but in raising the income of every in
cumbent in MiddleseN and Surrey, in
parishes whose population is 5000 or
more, to a minimum of $1,000 "a year,
with an allowance of $500 for a par
sonage, if one does not already exist.

GRAVITY SYSTEM.

The gravity system, to slacken the
speed of trains as they reach the sta
ton, and to overcome. inertia on start
ing from one, will be adopted by the
Illinois Central Railroad Company
for its Chicago suburban lines when
electricity takes the place of steam
on them. Gravitation will be obtain
ed by a percent rise in approaches
and a corresponding descending grade
for starts. Momentum and the
brakes are factors in the system.
