In the present conflict between
Chinese and foreigners there has been
some misunderstanding on the part
of foreign nations, and also want of
proper management on the part of
some of the local authorities. A
clash Of arms is followed by caiam-
itous results, and caused a rupture of
friendly relations which will ulti-
mately do no good to the world. We
hereby appoint Ii Hung Chang as our
envoy plenipotentiary, with instruc-
tions to propose at once by telegraph
to the governments of the several
powers concerned for the immediate
cessation of hostile demonstrations
pending negotiations which he is here
by authorized to conduct for our part,
for the settlement of whatever ques-
tions may have to be dealt with. The
questions are to be severally consid-
cred in a satisfactory manner, and the
result of the negotiations reported to
us for our sanction. Respect this

the weevil will grow and flourish on
grain mingled with strychnine. This
is destructive to almost all insects
but the weevil seems to prefer It to
other food. Samples Of the same pol

The Hair Under the MIcro.co,s,

Placed under a powerful microscope.
the hair shows surface covered with
strong, coarse, Jagged teeth, and more
strongly resembles coarse, rough
rasp. Dealers in human hair can tell
In moment whether the locks offered
them have been cut off or combed out.
They do this by rubbing the hairs
through their fingers. II the hair has
been cut from the head and has not
been misplaced. it remains In its orig
'nal position. II it has been pulled or
eombed out and put together regardless
Of the direction in which it grew. one
portion of ii will slip to the right and
the other to the left. II does this be-
cause the Jagged edges engage upon
each other and pull in opposite direc-
tons. The philosophy of this is dem
onstrated by drawing a hair first one
way. then the other. through the fin
gers. which slip easily toward the
point. while considerable resistance is
felt when the fingers are drawn from
the point toward the end next the
head.
