FURTHER kilograms from Chung King Flu
regarding the sacking of the Methodist
Medical Mission, in the Kiang-Peh country,
show that the Chinese militia is now there
in large force and refuses to allow the death
sentence passed upon the murderer of the
student killed by the rioters who destroyed
the mission. The foreign consuls have de-
manded that the Taotal dispense the mill
tia, execute the murderer, arrest the lead
ers OF the rioters, pay 500 taels for the prop
erty destroyed, allow the mission to re-
occupy its premises and engage to protect
the members Of the mission.
CHINA has agreed to all the Russia de-
mands. The following are the concessions:
A lease of Port Arthur for twenty-five
years as fortified naval base; lease of
Ia Lien-Wan for twenty-five years as an
open port and as the terminus OF the trans
Manchurian railway, with right of forti-
tication and the right for the Russians to
construct O railway from Petuna lin Man
churia on the Sangari river) to Ta-Lien-
Wan and Port Arthur, on the same terms
as stipulated in the case of the trans. Man
churian railway. China saves her face by
retaining nominal sovereign rights, which,
however, she is powerless to assert, the
lease being equivalent to cession.
AN anti-foreign demonstration took place
last week at Ching Kiang, in the province
of Kiang 500, China. A mission student
was murdered, and the American Episcopal
Mission was destroyed. Three OF the MUIR
derers of the students were sentenced to
DEATH but large force of Chinese militia
refused to allow the sentence to be executed.
The foreign consuls demand the dispersal of
the militia and the execution OF the sem
tence of death pronounced upon the MUIR
derers. They also demand that the author
tiles offer reward of $4,000 for the arrest
of the ringleaders of the demonstration and
that they afford full protection to the mis-
sionaries and their property. 1t is feared
that the authorities are too weak to control
the disorderly element and preserve order.
THE mystery as to the source Of the funds
which the Spanish government had recently

To Remove Fur from Inside Kettles.

This process should only be adopted
when boiling out the kettle with soft
water several times has failed. Fill
the kettle with water and add to it a
drachm OF sal-ammoniac. Let it boil
for an hour, then the fur or petrifed
substance formed on the metal will be
dissolved, and can easily be removed.
In boiling kettle, care must be taken
to put the lid on closely, so as not to
leave the smallest crevice. If the lid

MRS. FRANCES HoDdsoN BURNETT, the
well-known author of Little Lord Faunt-
leroy" and other books which have gained
wide circulation, has instituted divorce pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court of the Dis.
trict of Columbia against her husband, Dr.
Swan M. Burnett. The grounds upon which
the decree is asked are desertion and fail
ure to support. The charge, to large ex-
tent, is purely technical one. For about
three years Mrs. Burnett aud her husband
have lived apart. and none OF their intimate
friends were surprised to learn that steps

Set ON Fire by the Waves.

On the western coast of Ireland, at
Ballybunion, the sea set fire to the
cliffs. For centuries the great Atlantic
rollers had been breaking them down
and making great assures in them. In
their depths were masses of iron pyrits
and alum. At last the water penetrated
to these, and a rapid oxidation took
place, which produced a heat fierce
enough to set the whole cliff on fire.
For weeks the rock burned like a
regular volcano, and great clouds of
vapor rose high in the air.

House Ferns.

Ferns grow in shady, moist places.
To grow them successfully indoors,
then, it is necessary to give them a
moist atmosphere and not too much
light. Do not soak the earth about the
roots too much, but keep the atmos-
phere about them damp by means of a
glass bell placed over the plant part Of
the time. That will collect and retain
the moisture.
