cept hy one or two ways. The first way Is
from imperfect action of the kidneys. The

take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. TO find
out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
four hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the

China Expects War.

London, Aug. 30.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says it is reported there
that the Chinese minister at St. Peters,
burg has notified his government that
in his opinion the China question is to
precipitate a conflict between Great
Britain and Russia. That state of af-
fairs, he says. is owing to the British
ambassador presenting a note at st.
Petersburg of such a. peremptory ma
ture, demanding freedom OF enterprise
in regions where Russian influence is
supposed to predominant, that Count
Muravieff cannot accept it. The Chi
nese minister, indeed, expects that
conflict will break out before the end of
