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 Pekin. 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
1ren, had been put to the sword. The
TAPPING rebellion, which began in 1850,
is estimated to have cost 20,0OO.OO
lives in the fourteen yeals before 1t
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 1t would
not be If it had not been saved by
the direct cooperation of England
and France at Shanghai, Tien-Tsin
and elsewhere. and by native armies
drilled and commanded by Chinese
Gordon and other European soldiers.

The dwelling does not give us the
impression of being deserted. Doubt
less the farmers who live here are out
for awhile, working in the fields, or
they are hunting or at war. But no.
they have simply gone into the fields,
for here are their rifles and the big
felt hats which they wear whe- on ex-

Close to the door Of the farm house
is placed. evidently by deliberate de-
sign. lofty pyramid Of gilded plaster,
which represents the quantity of gold
extracted from the mines Of the Trans
vaal from 1884 until the outbreak Of
the present war with England. At the
foot of this pyramid is little gilded
cube. representing the volume Of
100000 francs in pure gold.
Passing before the yellow and bril-
liant pyramid, whose apex Is hidden in
the branches Of the trees. we come to
another pavilion Of the Transvaal ex-
hibition-that Of the gold mines. Here
a great noisy wheel is turning all the
while, and steam hammers rise and

the running of rough sand. In a room

The face, and especially the eyes, all
the time gives off fine vapor. This
clings to the glasses and the dust col
iects on them. AS soo1 as they become
clean-that is, apparently clean-the
wearer is satisfied. So the process
goes on. But while wiping the glasses
cleanses them and is necessary, bath
is also required. Every time the
glasses are wiped a fine film of dirt is
left on them, and this gradually accu-
mulates and no wiping will clean It
off. In time this coating gets quite
thick enough TO blur the vision, even
though at a glance the glasses may ap.

On tho Railroad.

Another woman, one who spends

this will be when one person In 1000
learns to respect the rights and feel
ings of others. Nowhere does one
suffer more from the selfshness and
disgusting habits of the average hui
man being than in railway car. First,
the lack OF ventilation has a depress-
ing effect upon a sensitive tempera-
ment and fatigues one quicker than
miles of walking in the open air. Next
comes the human annoyances. There
is the peanut eater sitting opposite.
Now, any one who would eat peanuts
except In ten-acre lot or standing on
burning deck where a certain boy in
history is said to have deveured them
by the peck ought to be ffayed alive.
What, then, should be done with the
creature who devours peanuts by the
quart on railway car where 1t is i'm
possible to escape their horrible odor!
To me there is nothing more offensive
than the smell OF peanuts, and when

Few people realize that Wind Cave,
near Hot Springs, S. D., is the largest
and most beautiful cave in the United
States. No one knows how large it
really is. Over 100 miles of passages

are fourteen different "routes," only
three of which have been opened to

Funds have been raised in England

woMAN.s SECOND GROWTH.
Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years
Are Late In Life.

Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years
Are Late In Life.
Since woman Is in the main but a
bundle of paradoxes, 1t Is not so sur
prising to hear that normally healthy
woman is younger, mentally and phys
ically, at 80 than at 40. The reason is
somewhat recondite, but still one to
be rendered in plain words. This re-
juvenation comes from a sort Of sec
ond growth Of nerve tissue, or, more
accurately, new arrangement of
nerve cells, which takes place COM
monty in the decade between IS and
45. The Encouragement is somewhat
analogous to the root-making of rose
or a Towering shrub. Almost every
one has noted how the riotous vitality
of the vernal impulse wreaths rose
trees in blossom up to the period OF
midsummer. Then, though the bloom
ing continues laggardly, the flowers
are poor and small, as though the tree
were tired of fashioning them and
fretful beneath the strain. BY and by,
as August yields to September, the
flowers, though they may be fewer,
swell to more than the glory Of spring.
They are truly royal, loose-leafed, long-
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full
of every virtue-size, fragrance, color
and endurance. Then the gardener
tells you it is because in the height of
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots. and is full of the rich juices of
a second growth. 1t is somewhat the
same with fruit trees-which, indeed,
occasionally blossom and let fall crops
of young fruit. Invariably they make
new wood, which, If only 1t harden
sufficiently, is the best of all wood for
either cuttings or grafts-because, say
the orchardists, ''it has more life In
It." Grape vines, too. have trick OF
putting forth new blooms in the fall
