ATROCITIES BY THE ALLIES.


A dispatch from Pekiu, September 8,
via Shanghai, September IA, says ::
Looting in Pekin continues, both su.
thorized and unauthorized.
Few houses are guarded except those
occupied by foreigners, the palaces and
those 10 the Sacred City. Almost
every house is destitute of furniture.
Gen. Cbsfiee says he could not have
believed that any city would ever be
given over so completely TO hooters,
and he earnestly desires the co-opera-
tod of any nation to prevent this.
On the other hand the missionaries
complain because the Sacred City has
rot been looted. They urge that the
royal family and other highly-placed
Chinese persoDages, who we're behind
all the trouble, should be made to suf-
fer more than those who blindly fol-
lowed them.
General Fukushims, the japanese
commander, Informed General Chstfee
that brutal outrages were being COM
mitted in Tung. Chow. He told the
American commander he had positive
information that many women had
thrown themselves into wells or COM
mi.ted suicide in other ways. after hav
inc been outraged. aud that there were
several authentic cases OF coolies who
had been killed under peculiarly atrc-
cious conditions. He requested Gen
eral Chaffse TO investigate end then to
co-operste with him to check these bar
barities as far as possible. General
Cnaffee ordered Major Muir to proceed
Immediately to Tung- Chow and report.

;ion that two forces OF Boxers, one
pumbering 10000 and the other

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine 10 the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand :
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
ProstratioD or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that Is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only peed a few doses of Green's
August Flower, 10 liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by

BELL RUNG ON THE PREACHER.

"You remember the chestnut bell,
of course?' said the man who had
gone ont of Chicago with only the loss
of one of his shoe heels. well, l
was greatly taken with it at the time,
and when l set out to visit my old
home in Michigan 1 bought dozen
bells to take along. Nobody in the
town had heard of them, but hadn't
worn one over day when the people
caught on, and was fairly besieged.
When Sunday came 1 prepared to at
tend church like dutiful son, and at
the proper time mother and l were
seated in her pew. Just what the text
was can't remember, but the minis
ter had scarcely announced it when
six of my chestnut bells sounded
among the congregation. The good
man didn't mind them in the least,
but went ahead with his work. He
was rung up on his hymn, and he was
rung up every minute or two on his
sermon, and though there was some
thing amusing about it, / was half
scared out of my boots. As l had
brought the bells to town, l didn't t
know but what he'd hold me respon-
sible and open out on me. About the
middle of his sermon he said some
thing about Jonah, and eleven of
those bells went 't-i-n-gP on him in
succession. He stopped and looked
around and then calmly said:
"Will those people who are jing-
ling keys kindly jingle softer -
"I was thankful to get out of that
church without a calamity" said the
bell man, according to the Ne7V York
Sun, land didn't do any laughing
till the next day. Then it was be-
cause l learned that every blessed
man who had rung up the minister
was seriously in earnest about it, and
felt it a sort of duty, and because
that minister himself called at the
house and accepted my own bell and
rung it up on mother within five min
utes '

HOW TO SIT AND HOW TO STAND.

To sit gracefully is an art to be
strongly desired. To drop into seat
and hold it without awkwardness re-
quires practice, also strong, elastic
muscles in the legs and waist-line.
To few people is given this control
of the muscles, but the majority of us
have to learn it. We all have to re-
member that unless the body is elas-
tically supported at the centre no po-
sition can be graceful.
The art of rising gracefully is quite
as important as that of sitting easily.
The action should be confed to the
lower limbs and the flexible muscular
uplifting Of the body at the ribs. This
is done by drawing the feet back to-
ward the seat, bending the body for
ward, with the head thrown back, un-
til the weight is over the centre of
the body, with forcible pressure on
the ground with the muscles of the
feet, accompanied by an uplifting of
the body and Strengthening of the
knee.
The proper way to stand and offer
the hand in greeting is to hold the
body erect and easy, carry the right
hand forward in a circle toward the
left side, with the palm upward and
PARALLEL with the upper chest. Stand
upon the left foot, bearing the weight
upon it. Have the right foot free
and slightly backward. Don't stand
with the feet far apart or the elbows
akimbo.

FLATTERING.

Not long ago two commercial trav-
elers started from Birmingham on a
night train to Holyhead. Wishing
to have the compartment to them
selves, however, they sat thinking for
a moment how they would manage it.
At last one of them said that he would
put it right, and, stepping out on the
footboard, told his companion to sit
still and stare in front of him. AS
the people came to the carriage door
to get in the traveller on the foot
board whispered something to them,
and the passengers, after taking a
look into the carriage, passed on.
When all the passengers were seated,
the train started, and the traveller
stepped into the carriage to Join his
companion, saying as he did so:
"Done it, haven't II"
His companion replied:
Eyes, l see you have, but how did
you manage it,"
"Oh, told them that you were a
lunatic, and 1 had you in charge" "

AMERICAN womEN's SIGNATURE.


A women of foreign birth and edu-
cation, who had come to stay in
Washington, has been speaking to me
Of the way American women sign
their names to the various letters they
write, says a resident of the Capital.
II have had many notes from
Washington women says she.
"Some of the notes have been of
semi-business character, and all have
been from women am but slightly
acquainted with. My husband has
had many notes, too, and to all OF
those we have received the writers
have signed their names in full-so,
Sarah Brown Jones. In my country
nobody but woman's family and
most intimate friends are supposed to
know what her Christian name is.
She signs none but letters to her most
intimate friends, Sarah Brown Jones.
To all the rest of the world, and es=
pecially to persons to whom she
writes business letters, she is S. B.
Jones, with Mrs. or Nine. in paren-
thesis before it.
cit is just a little bit of reserve
which you have not in America.
Here lady signs note to her gro
Ger, for example, by her full name.
With us that fact would indicate that
the grocer was friend. With you
it means nothing, but l think it pity
that you do not follow our custom,
for you have no way of indicating by
your signature your degree of init
macy with the person to whom you
write -

THEY Misunderstood JOHNNY.

"You ought to have seen Mr.. Mar
shall when he called on Dolly the
other night" remarked Johnny, en-
Enthusiastically, to his sisters young
man, who was taking tea with the
family. "I tell you he looked fine
sitting there alongside of her with his
arm" ooh, Johnny p gasped his
sister, her face assuming the color of
a boiled lobster. "Well, so he did,
persisted Johnny. "He had his
arm" "John p screamed his
mother, frantically. "Why," whin-
ed the now badly frightened boy, 81

father, "get out p And Johnny

THE VALUE OF A HOBBY.

The beauty books advise women to
cultivate hobby. They say that a
person with a hobby keeps bright
eyes, rosy cheeks and an expression
of fanimation which in themselves con-
stitute beauty, far beyond the period
at which the hobbyless women lose
these attractions. The best sort of
hobby-the one which will keep wo-
men young longest and will afford
them the most enjoyment during the
time-is an intellectual one, says an
English writer. In this advanced
day and generation most women have
enough knowledgeof variousbranches
of learning to be able to choose one in
which they will be honestly interest
ed. The impersona1 nature of study
is something which should recon-
mend it.
If one studies French or literature,
or dives into the forgotten poets, or
makes a study of some period of his
tory, she is doing something which
takes her mind completely away from
herself, her own worries, pleasures,
friends, foes and lovers. This is in
itself a blessing and a beauti6er.
Nothing produces wrinkles and the
signs of care and age SO quickly as
thought of ones self, and, converse
ly, nothing wards off these evils so eff
fective1y as thought of other things.
Study is better hobby than the
collecting mania. Possessions soon
become almost part of ones self. The
woman who has collected china is in
constant dread of her maids clumsi-
ness. She who has a collection of
lace worries over her washerwoman.
Fire and thieves enter into the calcu-
lations of all collectors. But she who
stores her mind rather than her cabi-
nets is not increasing her anxiety

AN EXCHANGE OF oM1TTANCE.

The Memphis .Scimatar tells of ne
gro preacher who had just concluded
the ceremony which united an old ne
gro in matrimony for the fourth time.
The silence which usually follows
such an occasion was broken by the
preacher in his effort to relieve the
embarrassment of the attendant. It
am usually de CUSTOM" he said, "for
de pre'cher to kiss de bride, but dis
time we will omit dat" The old
groom gave his young wife healthy
smack and turning to the preacher
he said, "Parson, yo' am berry kin
it am usually de case fo' de groom to
glib de parson sum'in' but dis time
we'll omit dat, and he walked away
from the astonished preacher with his
bride on his arm.
