Miss e. Ward of Chicago, former
missionary in Pekin, says of the roads
to the capital: Until the completion of
the railroad to Tien-tsin some three years
ago transportation to the capital was
chiefly by way of the Pei-Ho to Tung
Chou, thence overland to Pekin. The
river being very winding nearly doubled
the distance from Tien-tsn From Tung-
Chou to Pekin, twelve miles, is an an
Gent stone road. Over this road the al
lies marched. The huge stone blocks
have sunk in many places, making it al
most impossible for anything but the
mandarin chair or mule-itter easily to
traverse it. The sick and wounded sol
diers. | understand, were mostly con-
yeyed in the mule-litter, mode of travel
ing which l always found comparatively
easy
large number Of Chicagoans have
abolished tn cooking of their food Mrs
j.. A. Haworth thinks the spread Of the
custom of eating raw food would benefit
those who would observe it. She says:
L firmly believe that mankind generally
would enjoy tenfold blessings hut for
the most disastrous influences of taking
cooked food with it's dead cells into the
system. / do not believe in eating raw
meats. Nothing with blood in it should
be eaten at all, for blood makes us say
age i'll our natures. I find that after
short practice the uncooked diet is as
toothsome as any, and | believe that in
a short time it will be far more so.''

Gov. Joseph D.. Sayers of Texas on
the great storm: ."The loss of life occa-
stoned by the storm in Galveston and
elsewhere on the southern coast cannot
be less than 10000 lives, while the loss
OF property will probably aggregate $50
100000. Notwithstanding this severe af-
Fiction, | have every confidence that the
stricken districts will rapidly revive and
that Galveston will, from her present
desolation and sorrow, arise with renew
ed strength and vigor''
Lieut.. Hobson declares Dewey did not
sink the Spanish ships ii Manila bay,
He says: why, the Spaniards pulled out
the plugs and opened the valves They
sank the ships themselves. Our shell
hire did very little damage The Spanish
boats Were not greatly injured below the
water line. We had practically done
them no damage at ALL
