SOME PREDICTIONS.
Speculation Over Next Step to Be
Taken as to China.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Now that the
primary object for which the. allied
armies marched upon Picking, viz, the
rescue of the besieged legationers, has
been accomplished, the drift of discus
sion in official and diplomatic circles
reyerts to the next step to be taken.
Necessarily many of the predictions
as to what this will be are purely con-
i%ecturaI, as it is realized that COM
plete and definite information regard
ing the condition of affairs in Picking
must be awaited before any positive
action can be taken by the govern
ments whose interests have suffered
as a result of the Chinese troubles,
The presumption here is that the next
move made will be an agreement for
an armistice. This may be undertake
en- by the commanders of the Chinese
army and those of the allies on the
spot where the fighting, according to
the latest reports from Picking, APP
pears still to be in progress.
This accomplished, the question of
the withdrawal of the foreign armies,
the payment of indemnities, and many
other problems may be left to COM
missions duly appointed TO ~adjudicate
them. Ii Hung Chang has already
been appointed a pienipotentiary by
his government to negotiate terms of
peace, and in this capacity he made
an Intellectual attempt to stop the
progress of the allies in their march
on Picking. Whether Earl III VIII be
continued in that capacity by the inn
perial government is not known here,
but such seems altogether probable.
as with his well-known ability and his
acquaintance with the world, he would
be able to make possibly better terms
than any other Chinaman.
All Expect Indemnity.
There are II nations which have
suffered as a result of the Chinese dis
~turbances. All will expect a settle
ment of damages which have resulted
from the Boxer outbreaks, the murder
of missionaries, and the destruction of
legation property. Spain is n of
these, although she has not partici-
pated in the relief expedition, she has
suffered alike with the others, and
will expect to be Unidentified for her
losses.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
up to this time there have been no X
changes between the United States
and the other powers Sregarding the
steps to be taken in the future to
bring China to terms for the losses
that have been incurred. The sole in
terest of the United States up to this
time has been the rescue of the lega-
TONERS. which is now an accomplished
fact. Informal discussion has taken
place between the president and his
cabinet as to what this government
will do to secure reparation for losses,
but the conclusions reached are pure
Iy tentative and in no sense definite.

CHAPTER XIII.

Book 8. OF four things which bring
much peace.
Son, now will 1 teach thee the way
of peace and of true liberty. 2. Do.
Lord, as Thou sayest, for I shall be
very glad to hear it. 3. Study, my son,
to do rather the VIII of an Jti1cF tran
thy own. Ever choose rather, 10 have
less than they own. Ever choose rather
to have less than more. Always sack
the lowest place. and to be subject to
every one. Desire always and pray
that the will of God may be entirely
fulfilled in thee. Behold. such a enc
entereth within the borders OF peace
and rest.
A. Lord, this Thy short address con-
taineth in itself much perfection. n is
short in words, but full in meaning.
and Astounding in fruit. If [ could but
faithfully observe it, 1 should not be SO
easily troubled. For as often as I find
myself disquieted and disturbed, l am
sensible it is because l nave gone back
from this doctrine.
But Thou, o Lord, who cal3t do all
things, and always lowest the profit of
the soul, increase in me a greater grace,
that l may fulfill thus Thy word and
accomplish my salvation.
5. o Lord, my God, depart not from
me; o. my God, have regdri TO .a.iE
me; for divers evil thoughts have risen
up against me, and great fears ;tilict
my soul How shall 1 pass through
them without hurt? How snail break
them in pieces?
g. l, saith He, will go before thee, and
will humble the great ones of the earth.
1 will open the gates of the prison, and
will reveal to thee hidden secrets.

all wicked thoughts fly from before

words, who by a bright story had pre-
vented the discussion of a petty scan
| dial, was a woman who was as brave
| hearted as any that ever lived, and
| who bore not only her own, but the
| burdens of good many other people,
yet she saw no reason why she should
infict her troubles on her friends or
why she should not be in its best sense
a woman of tact.
A woman of tact is one who feels that
the story told to hurt your feelings is
| essentially bad form and inconsiderate
of the feelings of others.
! A woman of tact is the one who is
| courteous to old people, who laughs
with the young, who makes herself
| agreeable to all women in all conditions
of life.
A woman of tact is one who makes
her gOOd-morning a pleasant greeting,
her visit a bright spot in the day, and
her good-by hope that she may come
again.
A woman of tact is one who does not
gauge people by their clothes, or their
| riches, but who condemns bad man
neTS.
A veritable woman of tact is the best
type of a Christian, for her very con-
Sideration makes other women long to
| initiate her.
A woman of tact is one who is cour-
teous under all circumstances and in
every condition in which she may be
placed. She is the woman who can re-
ceive the unwelcome guest with smile
| so bright and handshake so cordial
| that in trying to make the welcome
seem real it becomes so. A woman of
tact is one whose love for humanity is
| second only in her life's devotion, and
whose Watchward is unselfishness in
! thought and action. By making self
last it finally becomes natural to have
| it so.
