further spread of the fire. Two cars
of chemicals which are tol be used in
addition to the steam have arrived.
1t may be twenty-four hours before

WU is TO WRITE A BOOK
He May Also Edit a Chinese News
paper.

Washington, July S.-Minister WI
has received official confirmation of
his recall to Pekin to assume con-
nection with the new Chinese foreign
Office. He had previously received a
copy of the official decree, naming
himself, with Shen Chat Pen, as the
compiler of a new code of laws for
China, but was not certain that the
new duty could not be discharged in
Washington without the surrender of
his mission. Now, however, he is in
formed that he is to come to Pekin.
The date of his departure has not been
set, as it depends on the arrival here
Of Liang Cheng Tung, who is to sue
ceed him, from London. The change
can not be made inside o. month or
six weeks.
"We have ambitions to do many
things, but life is too short and there
is not time for many things"
This was the epigrammatic reply OF
WI Ting Fang, the recalled Chinese
minister when asked flor his impress
sion of America and his views on the
future of himself of China, and oi
what he intended TO do to enlighten
his countrymen. He is to go out OF
the diplomatic service OF China and
for the next two years labor over a
codification of the Chinese laws thai
are to be moulded along those of Eu
ropean and American countries.
Minister Wu is also to write two
books, one of which is to be published
in the United States, He may also
become newspaper editor in China

NUNS SAVE PATIENTS
Remarkable Display of Goodness Dur
ing a Fire at Kansas City.

Kansas City, July ia fire which
broke out at 10:40 O'Clock this morn
ing in the new south wing of St. Mar
garet's hospital in Kansas City, Kas.,
threatened for a time the destruction
of that institution, in which there were
nearly 300 patients.
AThe fire was in the woodwork be-
tween the ceiling and the roof OF the
south wing. 1t was discovered by one
of the sisters on duty in the men s
ward, which occupies the upper floor
of that section.
Without the least excitement the sis
ter hurriedly notified Sister Gabriel,
the mother superior. Immediately an
alarm was turned in and all the
twenty eight sisters and attendants in
the hospital were summoned.
While the firemen we're driving to
the hospital from all the fire houses in
the city the scene in the hospital was
memorable one. The sisters, with
out betraying any excitement that
would alarm the patients, went TO
work heroically removing the patients
from the south wing to the extreme
part of the main building They were
aided by dozen physicians and sur
geons of the hospital staff.
The GOODNESS of the sisters in the
presence of such a danger certa inly
had the effect of preventing a panic
among the patients. Almost by the
time the first detachment of firemen
reached the building all of the male
patients on the upper floor were re-
moved. .5This floor was fast filing with
smoke that was almost sitting and it
was remarkable with what ease the
brave sisters picked up men from the
cots on which they lay, some near un-
to death, and carried them through
the hall to places of safety.
The women patients on the second
and first floor we're removed in the
the same way while the firemen were
also working to extinguish the fire.

MORE FREE SEEDS
Government to Send ont 38, 3OO,38l
Packages for 1903.

Washington, July 20. The largest
annual seed distribution ever made
by the government will be begun early
this fall. Some important changes in
the plan of conducting this distribu-
tion will be established by the depart
ment of agriculture. With a view of
handling the seed to better advantage
the country has been divided into six
districts, and seeds and plants par
Iticularly adapted to each district will
be distributed therein at an earlier
time than heretofore.
In years past much excitement has
been made by the people of receiving
seed too late in the season to be OF
particular good. The distribution
this year will commence the first of
September.
There will be, as usual, a distribu-
tion of miscellaneous vegetable seeds,
and in addition it is planned to fur
nish limited number OF packages of
novelties-that is. seeds of varieties
either new or little known, and of
peculiar merit, for distribution in
each locality. The miscellaneous
seeds will be put up as usual, five
packets in a package, and each sepa-
tor, member and delegate in congress
will have 1900 such packages to his
credit. There will be 500 packages
containing the novelties, each package
containing five packets. The novelties
will be accompanied by circular de.
scribing the varieties in full and giving
directions for culture and use. There
will also be franked postal card for
each collection OF the novelties, sc
that the recipient may, if he desires,
signify his willingness to make re-
port to the department on the seeds
+ eceived.

Insanity Due to Nervous
and Mental Troubles.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
The Great Tower of Safety
and Rock of Health i'm
the Hot Weather.

Nervous diseases when aggravated
by mental disturbances produce more
causes of insanity in the hot weather
than at any other season of the year.
Nervous headache, nervous dyspep.
sia, sleeplessness and chronic consti-
patton induce depression Of spirits,
extreme weakness, morbid fears, de-
spondency and languor; from these,
dread insanity comes slowly but
surely.
Nervous sufferers have dread OF
the hot weather. Finding themselves
deeper in the pit of misery than they
were in the spring and early summer,
they are in utter dispair.
There is hope for you, dear reader,
if you are one Of the sufferers. You
stand in need of Paine's Celery Com
pound, that great builder of the ner-
vous system, Its vitalizing action
commences with the first bottle you
use. The volume of blood immediate
ly increases in the arteries, and the
body is fully fed and nOurished. Your
appetite becomes regular and natural,
the nerves and brain are strengthened
and you have impulses of health that
cheerthe soul.
THIS remarkable remedy will truly
meet your case and give you new
life; it will lay the foundation for
happiness and long years. We coun-
sci you to try this marvellous summer
health-restorer at once, and enjoy the
blessings Of health. ..
