Expert Fighting of Chinese.

From the improved fighting qualities
of the Chinese soldier and his expert
dse of artillery and small arms it is
evident that he has profited by the
later war with japan and taken les
sons in the gentle art of shooting the
head off from European instructors. It
may be that after the Chinese trouble
is settled the nations of Europe will
think twice before allowing their mil
itary officers to instruct in war the
savage and seni-savage people else

Treatment of the Coat.

Now that it is unsafe to go from
home without wraps it is well to un-
derstand the secret Of proper hanging
when not in use. She is an unwise
woman who hangs up her jacket by q
loop at the back of the neck. 1t makes
the coz sag where the strain comes,
and it gives it dragged and droopy
appearance. If loops are used at all
they should be put at the armholes,
and so put on a. to stand upright and
not stretched across an inch Or two Of
space. But the best way to keep a
coat fresh and in good shape is to keep
it, when not in active service, on a
wooden anger.

SHADOW AND SUNSHINE.

An editor must tread life's un-

one day his spirits are depress.
ed by somc bilious individual who
does not like him or his paper;
and then, another day, some gen

and by one encouraging word,
makes him feel that the whole

These reflections were induced
by two incidents that recently
occurred in our own experiences.

it's compensation The wife OF
one of our subscribers, lady
who knows a good thing when

even a little ta1Iy now and then is
