One Language.

Chinese has a written and many
spoken languages. One says: China
has one language for the eye and about
a hume ed or SO for the ear" This re-
fers to the tones and local changes of
dialect. The fact that there is one Ian
grdge for books and many for speech
makes the acquisition of this peculiar
lingua exceedingly difficult. The col
loquial dialect is known as the Man
DARN and is the official language. The
Wen-li is the literary style. The ma
tive dictionaries show a collection of
44,449 characters or hieroglyphics.
They are Geographic, pictorial and
phonetic. The language has neither
alphabet, infection, declension nor con-
.ugation and consists of 400 or 500
spoken monosyllables which have diff
ferent meanings, according to intona-
tion ard connection. Time, number,
gender, etc, are expressed by using
two or more words. The characters
are written or printed in vertical col
umns, beginning at the right hand top
corner of the page. One can read the
classics with a knowledge of 5000
characters.

A Study in Terra Cotta.

Among the visitors to an art exhibit
ton We're two old ladies from the coun-
try. With great interest they examined
the statue of young Greek, on the
pedestal of which were inscribed the
words: Executed in Terra Gotta"
Where is Terra Cotta?" asked the
lady with the poke bonnet.

Native City Ruined and Many Bodies
Lying Unburied.
TienTsin advices via Shanghai say
that the native city presents an appalling
spectacle of war and desolation. Scarcely
a dozen houses are intact on the side
facing the settlements. Inside the city
damage is terrific. Many of the buildings
nearest the wall were literally blown to
pieces.
Among the residences charred corpses
are everywhere. Dogs and pigs are feed
ing on them. The allies are busy remov-
ing the dead. Owing to their great num-
Der, many have not yet been buried The
Chinese. it is said, have lost altogether
about 1000 since the trouble started
Most of them have been killed by Boxers
and soldiers.
The streets throughout the city are
strewn with all kinds Of articles, and
dozens of Chinese are digging in the ruins
for money and other valuables. Most of
the houses which are intact or little dam
aged display the flags of one or the 9th
er of the allied forces, the japanese ard
French flags predominating.

Government has regained control of the
imperial troops and has taken foreigners

BELATED MESSAGE FROM CON-

He Writes from Pekin July 4 that a
General Massacre Was Imminent

SheIled by Chinese.

A written message. signed Conger and
dated July 4, was received at Tien-Tsin
on the 21st. 1t was cabled to the Navy
Department in Washington Tuesday by
Captain Charles Thomas, commander of
the Brooklyn. The Conger note says:

who are Smelling the legation daily.

A Washington correspondent, writing
Wednesday, says that the letter from

State Department contains no encourage

confident of the safety of the foreigners,
and have accepted the message of July

gloom over the capital. The statement
that Pekin was in. control of imperial
troops has no significance further than
to indicate the helplessness of the Gov

From Washington
How a Little Bow Was Saved.

Washington, ID. c." When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be humps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered
salve. He wanted to lance the sore.
but would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. [ decided to
give it to my boy and in short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that l stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon | again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished COM
plete cure. l do not think there will be
even scar left. cannot speak too
highly of Hoods Sarsaparilla and Tree
ommend it everywhere get chance"

If you have failed to get relief from
