Mighty Tidal Waves.
The foundation at Galveston Will
Rank Among the Nest Disastrous.

Bank Among the Nest DisastFOus'
That the coasts of England have been
visited by many and disastrous tidal
waves there is abundant evidence. In
fact, the ocean bay, which surrounds
nearly the whole of England and Scot
land, is evidence enough that the entire
shore line as it exists to-day is itself the
result of great submersion, or series OF
submersions, which ages ago overtiowed
the old coast. rushed inshore, made new
land lines and, following out between
the new line and the old, new ocean
bed leaving what had been called the
coast line to be forever after called"the
bar" The bar is to be fouuI in nearly
every port of England, eloquent testl-
mony to the tidal waves OF the past.
But there is little of other testimony save
such as has been preserved in the records
of seaport towns.
One of the greatest cataclysms ever &C.
curing on the British coast was that on
the coast OF Lincolnshire in 1871. This
has been COMMUNICATED in verse by Jean
Ingelow in the poem entitled High Tide
Off the Coast of Lincolnshire" The Lin
colnshire coast is almost uniformly low
and marshy-so low, in fact, at some
places that the shore requires the defence
of an embankment to save it from the EN-
crouchments of the sea. A sea wall had
been built when the great tidal wave oil
1871 came, but it appears to have been
absolutely useless as defence OF the
country and the people at that time. AT
the present day the tens Of Lincolnshire
are defended from the North Sea by some
of the finest engineering works in the
world, and yet it is much to be doubted
whether they would prove effective
against such invasions as that which
has Just overwhelmed Galveston.
There are ancient town records II
nearly all the seacoast towns OF Lincoln
shire which tell of the inundation o
1851. There was then, as there is now
a chime of bells in the tower OF st. Bo
tolph, Boston, and when the tide was
seen to be sweeping away the barriers
the Mayor of Boston himself MOUNTED
the beltry stairs and had played the ole
love song called THE Brides of Enderby'
as an alarm to the countryside. But thu
tide came so unheralded, there having beef
no premonition OF it in storm or tempest
that the meaning of the chimes was no
understood. Savants have never had al
explanation of the Lincolnshire tide
coming as it did so unheralded by any
thing threatening a cataclvsm. TIL

thousands fell victims to its fury.
Many of the most fatal tidal waves c

The IncorrigibIe Stun Child.

Miss Mary Proctor, the astronomer,
in talking of her settlement work OF the
last summer says: l could not get the
children interested in the stars, as they
cannot seem to raise their eyes above the
pavement. What interested them far
more was an outing in Van Cortlandt
Park, where they gathered apples from
the trees. The accompanying teacher
pointed out the difference in the growth
of the various trees, and called attention
to the fact that the boughs of the apple
trees grew lowest to the ground.
Oats all right" said an urchin
Oats to make it easy for us boys tt

The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was frightful railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident.
There is doubtless far greater loss of
life occurring every day, in various sec
tons of the country, for which the only
excuse is,-" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms" These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance.
1t has been the experience of DR.. R. v.
Pierce and his staff of assistant physi-
clans, that ninety eight out of every
hundred persons submitting to their
treatment can be cured. People given
up by the local physicians, weak, etna-
ciated, with stubborn coughs and bleed
ing lungs have been absolutel y cured by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical

At meeting of the stockholders OF the

ported that the committee had succeeded
in procuring the 40 names necessary to
secure one person who should take $4,000
worth of stock. However, it was found
impossible o obtain anyone to take this
amount of stock, and it is now proposed
that these 40 subscribers shall form
themselves into an association which
shall own the $4,000 worth of stock. A
large proportion of this amount is ex-
pected to be raised by entertainments or
such other means as may seem proper to
employ,

The Cost in Lives to China.

The dispatches have told Of the
slaughter of native Christians in Shan
tung and Pechili and of battles be-
tween the Imperial troops and Box
ers in and around Peiin. The loss
Of human life is very great in the in
surrections which, from time to time,
affiict China. The recent Mohamme-
dan rebellion in the northwest prov
ince was stamped out only after sew
eral hundred thousand persons, large
proportion of them women and chill
dren, had been put to the sword. The
TAPPING rebellion, which began in 1850,
is estimated to have cost 2O,OOO,OO0
lives in the fourteen years before it
was suppressed with the aid of Eu-
ropean Intervention. That rebellion
was begun by the secret society known
as the Taipings for the overthrow Of
the Manchu dynasty, which is still
nominally in power, though it would
not be if it had not been saved by
the direct cooperation of England
and France at Shanghai. Tien-Tsin
