Ing alarm The Boxers are believed to

A report is current in Canton that the
'.Triads' are preparing for night at

The greatest apprehension prevails, al

causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails. has similar eff
feet upon mules and donkeys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is Of different color and
texture from the old, so that the ami
NAL is never quite the same as it was.
Zone animal Of which I personally
knew, after feeding on the plant, lost
its hoofs and had to be kept in sings
until they grew and hardened again.
Ruminant animals are not thus af-
fected, and the growth of the plant ia
actually encouraged in the Bahamas as

goats. The difference is probably due
to changes effected upon it in the

the matter? said l. trying not to ap-

he answered, bad headache, cramps
and all that Then what do you think
I did? gave him dose Of certain
drug that in an hour laid him on his
back, roaring with pain. His wife came
for me, hot footed, and hurried to the
house and sat beside the bed and gloat-
ed over his agony. When l felt that
I had had full revenge, I eased him
of. Wasn't that clever way to get

than punch in the nose. If the fel-
low ever insults me again, I'll half kill
