ORIGIN OF THE "BoxERs."
Murderous Chinese Secret Society Is
Two Hundred and Fifty Years Old.


The Boxer society, which is responsible
for the present troubles in China, is not
of recent origin. 1t had it's rise more
than 25O years ago and was originally
an organization of radicals who are in
favor of overthrowing the Manchu SOW
ereignty and restoring the great Ming dy-
nasty. THE present troubles may be re-
lated back to the disputes between the
progressive party which had the Emperor
for it's fgurehead and the conservative
party of the empress dowager. 1t will
be remembered that the Emperor bios
somed out as a reformer and issued sew
eral edicts which made the representa-
tives of China shudder with aversion and
dismay. Competent critics said at the
time that his methods were so crude and
arbitrary as to be utterly impractical,
though they were inspired by correct mo-
tives. Events justified their predictions
Superstitions, long established customs
and abuses could not be overcome at a
word, and the reform movement played
right into the hands of the Empress.
Like most of her countrymen, she hated
the foreigners. The reformers were the
foreigners friends. Hence China for the
Chinese was the import of a counter-rev-
olution, and such of the reform leaders as
did not have their heads cut off were
glad to escape to distant lands.
After the Empress was restored to
power the zee Ho Chuan Righteousness,
harmony and fists, hence Boxers) mar
shaded their already well-organized secret
society to assist in the work of discour-
aging those reformers who were not dis
couraged enough already, and to help
check the foreign devils, among whom,
in spite of the contradiction in terms,
were the missionaries. AS time passed
checking became numbering, and the
wicked old woman either abetted or
winked at the crime. That is why the
imperial troops have made no Roadway
against the so-called rebellion and why
the powers have united in self-protection.

The Census Man
and His Troubles

The rap Of a Boston census taker at
the door of a Blackstone street tenement
on the top floor, was answered by a lit
tie girl. with a tear-stained face, who
said: Are you the undertaken!
NO" he said, Il am the census man,
and l want to see your father
"Papa's drunk" said the child, in a
matter,of-fact way, land he's out some
where"
where's your mother?" asked the cen
sus man.
Mamma died last night; she's in
there" said the little girl, pointing to an
inner room.
The woman died the night before, and
her husband went out and got drunk,
leaving the little girl alone with the body.
The census man notified the police, who
took the little girl to the Children's So
ciety and sent city undertaken to care
for the body.
Chicago census enumerators had many
troubles. Loaded down with portfolio
and various kinds OF blank books and
record slips, they trudged into many a
queer nook in search Of the knowledge
the Government wants. In the fashiona-
BILE residence districts the work was COM
paratively easy, but i'll those districts
where two-story houses held from three
to four families and twelve to fifteen in
dividuals, a system of espionage was in
augurated. The enumeration would go to
a house and make his argument for in
formation. In other rooms and on back
Dorches there would be a buZZing Of
voices pitched to a whisper. Then a
small. ragged boy would shin over the
back Lot line fence and whisper some
thing into other back doors along the
row. In this way the coming of a
nameless scourge was passed along in
advance of the Government agent.
"In what year were you born, Mrs.

A San Francisco enumeration came 10
inst before noon with ninety names en-
rolled. He was especially pleased, be-
cause he had found family of ten living
in a hay loft. He said:

Whats In a NnmeY

Inexperienced patent medicine men,"
a y a gossiper in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, admit the impossi-
bility Of predicting when the turning
point will be reached in booming any
new remedy. The amount sunk In ex-
plotting two articles before returns
come in may vary 100000. In my
opinion, the name has a good deal to
do with getting a demand started. If
It is hard to remember or hard to pro-
nounce, it is undoubtedly n serious
handicap, and, IN the contrary, a
catchy, simple title, just odd enough to
stick in ones memory, is in itself an
advertisement worth thousands of dol
lars. I have a house In mind that
spent a good sized fortune trying to
popularize a tablet preparation with a
queer Indian title that no two people
pronounced in exactly the same way.
It was q good thing and cleverly put
before the public, and 1t. failed solely, l
think, because people were reluctant to
ask for it for fear of making them
selves ridiculous . by. butchering the
pronunciation. That's a. point about
which the average customer is very
sensitive"

Econom,cal Training Of Gunner..

Economical Training Of Gunners.
The method used in the United States
navy for the economical training of the
gunners is very interesting. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the cost Of firing
one of the large guns used in the navy
is very great, amounting sometimes to
$1,000 or more. To save this expense
a very simple method is employed. In
the case Of the large guns an ordinary
Remington rifle is secured in the breech
of the gun and directly in the center
of the bore, SO that when it is fred it's
bullet takes the same direction as that
of the regular projectile. The large
gun Is sighted in the usual manner.
On account of the lesser velocity of the
small bullet the target is placed close
to the ship and is made corresponding
~ small.
The method used for the 6 FOUNDER
or other small guns is slightly differ.
ent, as instead of the small rife q
wooden or dummy cartridge the same
size us the regular cartridge is en-
ployed. Through the center of this
wooden cartridge runs a rife barrel
which is loaded with a A caliber car.
fridge. This latter method has the I'D.
ditional advantage of giving the gun
crew practice in loading as we'll as fir

Dickinson, N. D.

ledge Of limestone there are the shales
of the Niagara locality. This soft rock
is many feet thick. The rock of the
Horseshoe fall is unprotected, and as
the water falls over the precipice and
boils in the river below it washes away
the soft shale beneath the limestone,
SO that the limestone is left in shefike
form, projecting far out into the gorge.
Observant visitors to the falls have NO
doubt noticed this condition.
In the course of time the shale foun-
dalton Of the limestone ledge is exca-
waited to such a point that the unsup-
ported ledge breaks away by its own
weight, and the crest line of the Horse
shoe fall recedes SO much farther.
Then the water attacks the newly ex-
posed shale, and in time the process
outlined is repeated. This has been go
ing on for centuries, and it will con-
tinue until the falls Of Niagara are no
