Dewey on the China Proble1i..

NARRAaANsETr PIER, r. l., July 12.--
The attention of Admiral Dewey was
called to dispatch from London, III
which Lord Worseley is credited with
saying that the Chinese could overrun
tho worid and that tloy are more power
full and dangerous than they havo boon
credited with being. The Admiral said
Lord Worseloy has given that ques-
tion deep study perhaps and may know
whereof he speaks. If wore to express
All opinion on tho subject Of the Chinese
overrunning tho world it might not be
in accord with Lord Worseley's views.
"Why," continued the Admiral, "2,5OO
mon havo hold their own, and, according
to. Admiral Seymour, if ho had suf-
ficient ammunition and provisions he
would have held out indefinitely. bo-
lievo 25, 600 mon could march right into
Pekin without any difficulty. The Chi

probably 40,000,O0O, but they are an un-
organized horde of fanatics, imbued with
the bolief that they arc able to drive out
the foreign devils. believo wo have
them on tho run. Tho outlook of the
present time appears to mo to be most
encouraging"

Try This for Hot Weather.

Somebody has said that if you would
keep your mind on cooling things the
oppressive weather would not seem half
SO hot.
Yesterday we tiled it, and its all right.
In OuI mind,
We ran out in the deep snow barefoot
and knocked iciclcs OF the dripping
caves, and slipped them down tho bacl,
of our neck.
We tried to button our clothes with
numbcd fingers.
We kicked the icc-balls of our shoe
heels after wrestling with the snow man.
We dug in the frozen ground and got
our hands covered with cold, freezing
mud while getting frozen potatoes out
Of the 'tatcr-holcs
We rakcd coal from under tho snow
without shovel, and shuckcd corn with
bare hands on frosty morning.
We forced Our mind to rest on such
things until the beads of pcrspiration
that trickled from our brow and else
where frozc into little leo balls az they
fell and ratified on the floor like pouring
shot into Il bread pan.
Oh, its great you can only get your
