ARMED WITH BIRDCAGE AND FAN.

From The London Chronicle
In discussing the armament of the Chinese soldier.
Lord Charles Beresford says in his book on China:
The Consul at Wu-ChOw told that during the
late riots soldiers We're armed with every sort OF
Weapon-guns rifles and blunderbusseS. They also
carried long brass horns and gongs and other
Instruments to make discordant noises. Many were
totally unarmed and carried only birdcage and
a fan being known as soldiers by their military
badge" Discordant noises have evidently been OF
little use against the Boxers, and birdcags and
fan are a poor equipment against Maxlms and
magazine rifles.

not been heard from since June 2, and her brother
Dr. Richard c. Newton. of this town, fears the
worst In her last letter Miss Newton speaks Of
the disturbances then being inaugurated by the
Boxers but she expresses herself inclined to
think the danger exaggerated She however
described the fears Of a missionary. who had told
her that he intended to get horse and cart and

at a certain gate he could hurry his family and
himself to safety. Miss Newton is widely known

cR1TIcIsEs MISSIONARY METHODS.
DR. K. F JUNIOR THINKS THE BRITISH LEGATION
Is SAFE.

Dr. Kenneth F. JUNIOR last night in the Bethany
Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, discussed the Chi
nese troubles. He said in part:
The missionary enters China and wants a chapel
for his work. OF course, he must apply to the
sui for it. This is what perpexes the Chinese.
They are willing listen the doctrine preached
by the missionary, but the thing they cannot under
stand is why the missionary a of God,
must transact all his business through the consul
The preaching of this doctrine. the Chinaman be-
lieVes has too close a connection with the civil
government and is used only a subterfuge for
the acquiring of territory which will probably re-
suit In driving him from his home
Dr. JUNIOR was for half dozen years connected
with the missionary stations in the island OF For
mosa and in China 4 physician
1T would have been much better" he said, for
the nations had they made a great display to awe
the Chinese. Let them put eighty thousand men
in the field and the Chinese will soon come TO
terms"
IN regard TO the British legation buildings DR..
JUNIOR said that they surrounded by walls
and supplied with ammunition and stores so that
the Chinese attempts 10 fire them had probably been
foiled.

Of Minister Conger, perhaps the last that will
ever come TO hand. This bears date of Picking.
May u. 1t is Of the utmost Importance, dis
closing as it does a full comprehension on the
part OF the foreign Ministers in Peking OF the
character and extent Of the Boxer uprising. even
though Mr. Conger himself, by disposition op-
timstic. found some reason to hope that the
worst was over at that date. What Mr.. Conger
has say TO the attitude of the Chinese
Government toward the Boxer movement as re-
vealed in the formal interchange that took place
between himself and the Tsung-li-Yamen, is
not only Of peculiar interest now but probably
VIII have a strong bearing the final reckon
ing that must be had between the civilized na-
tions and the Chinese. Mr. Conger makes it
clear through the publication of the French
priests letter that at least one and probably
al of the European nations having interests
IN Northern China were acquainted with the
dangers Of the situation at least two or three
weeks before the actual outbreak in Peking.
The correspondence is as follows:

Yes, August Flower still bas the
largest sale Of sny medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower TO clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic

Prom the above list Il can bc plainly
seen that a close relation exists between
the weight Of beet and Its sugar con-
tents and purity cocficicnt. and that the
idea Of raising large sized sugar bccts Is
not always the most rcniuncfativc propo-
sition for the grower. On the other hand,
a careful observer Of the sugar bects cx.
hibited at the Fair would have imagined
that, Judging from the size Of those
becss competing for the premium offered
BY the Opera House Pharmacy, their
weight would by far exceed the figures
obtained at the Laboratory, and this again
proves the repeated statements OF the re-
representatives. of the American Beet Sugar
Company that Il is not 30 easy 10 raise
sugar bcets weighing over FIVE pounds as
many farmers thought at the beginning
of this FIRST year Of sngar beet raisinR.
II il therefore self-eyident that the
high tonnage from field depends on q
good stand, and not on very large bccts.
An acre Of beets, drilled In rows eighteen
inches apart, and thinned carefully from
six to eight inches, contains about 45,97o
beets, and II each of these were to weigh
IH pounds the return per acre would
amount to 6S, $50 pounds or thirty-four
tons, and II each beet were to weigh two
pounds over forty-fivc tons Of beets could
be harvested.
While such perfect stand can seldom
be Obtained, it is not very difficult to save
