RAILWAYS IN CHINA.

Telebraphs and railways appear to be
among the causes of the anti-foreign
riots now in progress in him The
development of this feature of modern
enterprise in China is described in con-
siderable detail in a recent publication
or the treasury bureau of statistics, en-
titled Commercial China in 1892 1t
shows that the telegraph system of Chi
ma included in 1899 about 5000 miles of
line IN operation, and that the railroad
system included $50 miles of road in
active operation and over 5000 projected.
The telegraph system connected all of
the capitals of the provinces with the
national capital, Pekin, and in turn con-
nected with the Russian Trans-S Siberian
telegraph line and the ocean cables, but
1t appears from the recent reports that
these lines have in many cases been de-
stroyed by the anti-foreign mobs and
armies.
The railways thus far constructed be-
long to THE Chinese government, and
were constructed under its control and
direction, and at its expense. They con-
meet Pekin, the capital, with Tien Tsin,
which lies at the head of the Gulf of
Pechili, and is the seaport of Pekin, while
other lines run n~orthwardly from Tien
Tsin, in the S~hanhaikwan, and still 9th
ers extend southWardly from Pekin as
far as Paotinig, the capital of the prov
ince of CHI Lii, in which Pekin is located.
From that point southwark a railway
was being constructed in 1899 by Belgian
capital, though it was suspected that
Russian influence and perhaps Russian
capital was associated in this work. This
line was expected to extend to Hankow,
which may be described as the Chicago
Of China, being it's best and largest and
most prosperous inland commercial city,
located 500 miles up the Yang-tse-Kiang
from Shanghai, which lies at the mouth
of that river. Hankow is a city of nearly
1000, 900 inhabitants and it was expected
that the Belgian lime would connect Pc
kin, which lies we'll at the north, with
Hankow, located near the center, and
that an American line would extend
still further south from Hankow to
Canton and Hongkong.
The American line was surveyed by 2
corps of engineers under w. B. Parsons
of New York in 1898 and 1899, under a
concession granted by the Chinese gov
eminent to Calvin Brice, Hugh j. Grant,
ThurQow Weed, Barnes and others, and

a%nstinct is hard to tell. but the result

instinct is hard to tell, but the result
remains the same.
Pde is not wholesome, and It calls for
much work in the making. A mince pie,
especially one containing liquor, is es-
peclally bad. The liquor added to pre-
serve the mass of mincemeat not only
does SO in the jar, but in the stomach
also. In a fruit pie, such as cherry or
other acid fruit, the cane sugar has been
inverted, both by the neat and the acid,
and We have "invert" sugar of two sorts,
one mostprone to fermentation. If this in
version of the sugar had been performed
by the ferments of the digestive tract ac-
cordlng to natures plans, the eater would
get from it a greater mount of true
food with less expenditure of vital force.
Taking into consideration that the heat
ing of the fat by the baking of pie has
robbed it of assimilation, the surrounded
starch grains are more difficult of solu-
ton, the "invert" sugar prone to fermen-
%tation, the eater certainly has wasted
his energy and a tremendous amount of
blood in the digestion of those materials
from which he has gained little.
1t is said that as Americans are relin-
gushing the pie Germans are adopting
it. AT a typical German supper recently
the several kinds of sausages, cheeses,
salads and beer We're followed, incon-
gruously enough, by that old Yankee
faVorite-apple pie.

this line, like all others for which con-
cessions have been granted, was after a
term OF years to become the property Of
the Chinese government. 1t was ex-
pected that this American line running
from H%ongkong and Canton northWard
to Hankow and connecting at that point
with the Belgian line, which extends to
Pekin, would form an extremely import
ant artery of internal commerce from
China's most important southern city,
Canton, and it's most important central
city, Hankow, and. thence to it's capital
at the north, Pekin, from which point it
would connect with the Russian railway
system which enters China and Manchu-
ria at the extreme north.
Numerous other railways have been
surveyed and some of them were under
construction. The German government
has been encouraging Inc construction
of railways in the province of Shantung
in which it's port Of Kiao-Chau is located,
while concessions to British companies
authorize the construction of lines along
a large share of the eastern coast and
extending UP the valley of the West
was expected they would finally connect
with the railway system of India.
The railways projected in China and
for which concessions had been granted
contemplated a length of more than 1900
miles, and it was confidently expected
tina their construction would bring the
trans Siberian system of Asiatic Russia
into touch with the trans-India system
of British India, which in turn would fin
ally connect with the railwya systems of
southern Europe and thus give to the
world ar international belt line stretch
ing northwardly from China, thence
| westwardly again through Burmah, In
dia, Persia n Turkey in Europe to
a connection with the railway system
of southern Europe.

Chinaman suddenly darted forward with
his head slightly lowered, his left shoul-
der drawn up and his body pivoted on
his left foot. His right hand shot out,
and the knuckles caught Chuck squarely
in the throat.
The blow is a terrible one when de-
livered with the full force of the body
behind it, n often knocks out the man
receiving it.
An effort to blind an opponent is al
most invariably made. The blow by
which this is done is very similar to
the throat blow except that the fingers
are fully extended.
A very peculiar Boxer blow is one
which we would now call the solar
plexus blow. Using the left leg as a
pivot the Boxer gives his opponent a
terrible kick with the side and heel of
his foot, and throwing his body forward,
lands both fists together with the backs
of his hands upward in his antagonists
! solar plexus or the pit of his stomach.
The camera caught 10y Fun just as he
started to deliver the blow.
In another bout 10y Fun, lodging a
jab from Chuck's left and, swinging his
body around, landed his right elbow in
the Americans solar plexus.
By this movement a Boxer is often able
to give his enemy such a heavy fall
that he is completely disabled.
A somewhat similar leg movement is
uoeu WIeH TIE hOXef SelZeS the leIl
wrist of his enemy with his left wrist,
gets the extended arm back of his head,
and throwing his own right forearm
, agaist the back of his antagonists pin
Toned arm, breaks it as he falls back
ward.
Once Chuck led with his left for the
Chinaman's head.
10y Fun swiftly swept his left around
and grabbed Chuck's extended arm at
the wrist. Then throwing his own right
knee forward so as to get leverage the
Boxer with his right seized Chuck under
the left thigh and in a m threw
him on his back.

Mountain rats in the mines Of Colorado
are about as big as wharf rats. but they
have a bushy tail like a squirrel. and are
pets of the miners Whenever the lunch
con hour comes you will see the fellows
come from their holes or nests or wher-
ever they live in the intervals between
meals. squat on their launches, and sit
there until one of the miners shares his
dinner with them. Whatever they get
out of the scraps of that meal they sit
up and eat just as a squirrel does. The
miner does not exist that would not share
his meal with them. "".

A Certain Cure for Piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is a success be-
cause il has the merit which brings sue
cess. IL cures every form Of piles and
cures them to stay cured. II is now the
most popular and best known pile remedy
before the public, and one reason for its
great popularity is because il has taken
the place Of surgical operations, once con-
sidered the only sure cure.
People often wonder that so simple a
remedy will SO promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well known
to be. Yet the greatest remedies and
greatest inventions we have are the sim
blest, and the fact that ii does cure is all
the sufferer from piles wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles in
any stage of the disease as shown by the
following testimonial letters which are
published every week and new cases 1e-
ported each time:
From George c. Geick, Owens Mill, No.:
Some time ago / bought a package of
Pyramid Pile Cure for my wife who had
suffered very much. The first trial did her
more good than anything she had ever
tried. 1t is just as represented.
From Richard Loan, Whipple, Ohio: L
have used the Pyramid and am entirely
pleased and satisfied with results. 1t does
the work and no mistake.
Mr. w. r. Hines, of Magnolia, Ark,
says: Although / have used the Pyramid
Pile Cure only very short time, yet IL
has been very beneficial to me.
From Mrs. Peter Lake, Mohawk, y. Y:
received the Pyramid Pile Cure, but put
off using it until last week, when i be-
came so bad / decided to try il. L have
suffered twenty nine years with bleeding
piles and have used a great deal of medi-
cine. but never had anything that did so
much for me as your remedy.
The proprietors of this remedy could
publish columns OF similar letters to the
above il necessary, but these are enough
TO show what il will do in different cases.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co., ,>of Marshall, Mich,
and for sale by druggists everywhere at
so cents per package. One package is suf-
icient to cure any ordinary case. Your
druggist will tell YOU more tbout it.

An Official Report on an Americana
British Game at HongkOng.

Naval Constructor Richmond Pearson Hob
son, who is now engaged in experimenting
repair work on the American warships al
Hongkong, has been playing baseball ovei
there assisted by and in opposition to sun
/ dry American naval officers, bluejackets
and marines. The game was a great sue
cess, and in connection with other things
forms the subject of an official report 70
the State Department by Consul General
Wildman at Hongkong
MIR. Wildman was so much impressed
with the interest taken in the game by the
English people at Hongkong, officials and
ordinary subjects of the Queen, that he
made ii a text for a long report, telling OF
the marked friendship for the United
States which had been displayed in many
ways by the Hongkong British since the
beginning of the Spanish-American war
and which he believes is now firmly es-
tablished. Mr. Wildmau says that this
+ sympathy was manifested in a practical
way by the contribution Of English resi-
dents of Hongkung of $1,000 for the fami-
lies Of the enlisted men killed and injured
/ in the accident on the United States gun
boat Wheeling. in Hongkong Harbor.

amounting to $3.50, were betrayed by the

contributed by the English people. British
society official, and otherwise turned out
TO see the match, and were greatly inter
ested. Ii was the first game OF baseball
played In Hongkong. The recreation
grounds at Happy Valley, near the city,
were used.
Three Ameriman warships. the monitor
Monadnock, the cruiser Baltimore and the

GHOST MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
The Disturbance Proves to BE a Re-
yenEefuI Lover.

BOSTON, Mass. March 24.-The spook
whose knockings have disturbed the home
of the Hovey family at Charlestown, has
materialized into an old fashioned Taper
with a five-pound sounder operated with a
string by jealous lover of Miss Lillian
Hovey The Taper was attached to a ham,
mock hook on the side of the house and
the operating string carried through the
broken fence at the rear of the yard. As
the house is an old frame structure and
seantily cross beamed, the planking formed
an excellent conductor of the knocks. The
jealous lover has pursued Miss Hovey with
his attentions for some time and the rap
pings are part of his plan of revenge for
the repulse of his suit.
Last night at the Hovey house there
were no rappings, but one of the spiritual
lists who were present assured the family
that the wrath of an enemy was follow
ing the family and he proceeded to exercise
the house. Outside, the police were laying
for the material wrath with his tick tack
device, but they waited in vain. There Will
probably be no more manifestations.

ANIMATION In TRADING
The Stock Market Resumes Its Up
ward Course.
The Railway List Leads In the ope-
rations. Making Many Substantial
Advances-Local Traction shares
Comparatively Heavy, Occupying
an Inconspicuous Place i'm Deals.

NEW YORK. March 24.-The Stock Mar
ket resumed its upward course today, and
the trading was marked by pronounced
snap and animation. The railway list
again led the market in all respects There
were substantial advances in Pennsylva-
mia, Baltimore and Ohio, the Pacific stocks,
the granger shares, and, in fact in all TIE
standard issues. Rumors that the Penn
sylvania was acquiring a substantial in
terest in Norfolk and Western were again
persistenly circulated.
The local traction shares were compara-
lively heavy and, along with the industri-
ais. were not conspicuous in the day S
market At the same time, the strength
of the railway list extended in measure
10 other quarters of the market by induc-
ing the covering of short contracts. In a
general way. the trading was governed by
the considerations which have engaged at
teution during the week. The London
market also had a decidedly improving
tone today, American stocks being quoted
at sharp advances. London houses le-
sumed their buying OF stocks in these mar
lets in considerable volume.
There was very little definite informa-
tion bearing upon particular stocks, and
no news OF general Importance developed
over night.
