GUN-MAKING IN CHINA.
Every Form of Munition of War, freRn Rifles to Heavy Artillery,
 Made by Natives.

A correspondent of the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette visited one of the Chinese arsenals and thus put down his impressions: Finally we were taken, among other places, to the great Chi nese arsenal some way beyond treaty limits, where every form of munition of war, from rifles to 45-ton guns was be- ing made. We wandered through a wilderness of factories, covering acres of ground, and were shown the whole process of manufacture And there were powder factories and other insti- tutions not far away which we had no time to visit That was, perhaps, the most significant experience of all. You may have seen gun factories before, but have you seen place turning out great guns by the dozen, and machine guns by the hundred, perfect in design and construction, run, from coolie to head mandarin. entirely by Chinese, and with only couple of Englishmen en- gagged solely in consultative supervision? !? Have you seen roomful of Chinese draughtsmen and designers in pigtails and blue gowns solemnly, stolidly aSd assiduously getting out the drawings for a new gun? It is a sight that furnishes food for thought. And as you leave you ask yourself the question: If these men can mrav guns, why may they not work them eezne day

"uNcLH TOMS CABIN,

Of all the great American plays none has a stronger hold on the public than Uncle Toms Cabin" Stetson's produc- tion of which is announced for its an- nual engagement at Polls tomorrow afternoon and evening. This grand old drama has been mercilessly butch cred by the ''1y-by night companies in the past. It issa marvel that 1t has not long before this lost it's power of attractiveness. which is quite often the case with most plays and even so with productions other than Stetscn's; J; but the public has grown to know that Stetson's is always reliable. that alone has lifted ssUncle Toms Cabin from mediocrity to mastery. In short it is the only company presenting this time honored drama with capital enough to provide sufficient scenery, people and railroad equipments to pla c g 1t among the best entertainments be fore the public. stetson is the only one presenting the drama as first class show should be environed and equipped. Prices are 15 and 25 cents for the matinee, and in the evening p, B and 50 cents

The newly elected presiding officer is told to call the meeting to order and make some suggestions of intelligence if possible. She sits at the table speech less. She has an attack of what actors call stage fright and which has been suffered at one time or another in some form by every human being.
 Miss Desterre commands her to rise and walk to the front of the platform and stand there at her ease until she can collect herself. Then to help things along a bit more the teacher who nev- CT quails stands away short distance and deliberately criticises the young woman before her, pointing out to the rest just where the deficiencies are most glaring. This is all preliminary and is followed by other lessons equal ly or more trying. - The favorite failing of each pupil is learned, and the thing that frightens her the most is obtained by confession or strategy. Then, like trainer of young colts, Miss Desterre leads the pupils up to the things they most dread Those who are dumb in company of more than three persons are instructed
 
 class. Others are made to compose pa pers and read them, while the rest are called upon to stand up and criticise offhand the work of their classmates
 Through it all Miss Desterre impress es upon her pupils the fact that the majority of persons they come into contact with are as self centered and as self conscious as themselves and that they are not really any more awk- ward than others, but simply think so
 Miss Desterre holds that all shyness and embarrassment are due simply to a. wrong mental angle, which can be cured when the mind is trained to an other point of view,
 Her classes promise to be large, and she agrees to put any woman at her ease in any sort of company after single course of lessons. Some, she ad- mits, are more difficult than others, but all, she asserts, can be cured of that most distressing habit of blushing without occasion and going dumb in company when really there is much that should and could be said, as the afterthought always shows,

{ ABOUT NEURALGIA.
Some of Its Causes and Simple ReM.~ edies Which Often ARord
 Relief.

Neuralgia is nerve pain, and may affect any part of the body. It may attack one side or the whole of the head; the great nerve of the hip, when it ia known as sciatica; or it may come in the stomach or heart, says Mary Easton. M. D., in American Queen
 The causes are varied, cold, injury, weakness or great mental trouble being among the most important. The pain is acute and shooting, and generally there is great tenderness on slightly pressing the affected part. It Is usually an intermittent pain, when 1t will come in paroxysms; putin bad cases the pain will continue without cessation for days Severe cases can only be cured by clever medical attention, but it is possible to alleviate the agony oneself, at any rate pro tenn.
 1T the patient is anaemic, neuralgia will come through the want of blood. A strong iron tonic will then be neces- sary. Should the pain be so bad as to require immediate alleviation mustard plaster will often give relief, or flan- nels rung out of boiling water will prove comforting.
 Lotions have been found invaluable. the part being frequently bathed and covered with cloths saturated in lauda- mum and sweet oil, chloroform, bella- donna; etc.
 Choral and camphor4 in equal parts rubbed well together so as to form a thick oily iued may be applied now and then with excellent results; painting with tincture of aconite is also a good thing.
 General constitutional treatment Is necessary, however, for a permanent cure. and rigid form of diet and living will be required. Change of air, and in some cases sea bathing, will do won- ders; and if the malady be due to over- work or worry, holiday and complete change of scene will seldom fail to re- move 1t.
 very bad headache is sometimes thought to be neuralgia, and for this an old-fashioned cure is to put the feet in mustard and water in order to draw the blood from the head. Plenty of rest and fresh air, a placid temper, avoidance of all excitement, and total freedom from business and domestic troubles are the chief points to be ob- served by the sufferers from neural- gia.
 If "heat applications" afford tenn porary relief, it is well that the different methods of obtaining such should be known. Dry heat is in most cases better than wet. Therefore, it is good plan to lay some sand between two pieces of flannel, sew it together and keep it ready to place in the oven. Sand re- tains it's heat for long time. Hot salt placed between some pieces of thick muslin will afford great relief

1.-THE HEART OF A HERO"

This stir1dng melodrama which has had remarkable success i'll. England during the past few years, and which has been Americanized by Hal Reid, will be the attraction at Poi' this even ing. The play is said to be peculiar ill that the hero is not in love with the fair woman who is imprisoned for murder. It is from motives of good ness only that he betrays his sister, the real murderess, rather than see all innocent woman go to the gallows. 1t is excellently staged. it's scenery real istic to a great degree, and the vivid poa'trayals of character, affecting scenes and startling situations blend together and make the play one which everybody will want to see. It offers to the players excellent opportunity for fine work, all of which is taken ad- vantage of by an all star cast. The scene is laid in Ame1dca, and the plot, which is cleverly sustained one, is re. vealed in such a manner as to hold the interest of the audience from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents

 British Metropolis-System of Men
 tal Hazing Adopted to Cultivate
 Ease of Manner. ~
 Shyness on the part of the modern woman is a blemish akin to a sin, which can and must be eradicated, ac- cording to Miss Elsa Desterre of Lon don, who herself confesses that she is never shy and has not blushed for so long she cannot remember her last of fense, says special cable dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
 Miss Desterre is to occupy sort of chair of self control in : the Jopling School of Art in Earls court. From the outline of her system given by the teacher it is a moral certainty that no pupil who takes the entire course will ever again suffer from shyness or ti- 1nidity.
 The hazing of the Horse Guards or the practical jokes of the bohemian clubs are gentleness itself compared with the Jopling school method. Ac- cording to Miss Desterre, as many wo- men as can gather sufficient Initial courage to join the class will be, assem- bled together in classroom, with noth- ing to hide behind and no distractions Then they win De told by the unblush- ing instructress that the chief thing that ails them is an insufferable self consciousness verging upon conceit. They are making the grave mistake of believing they are being looked at and even thought of when on the contrary they are being utterly ignored.
 After they have been impressed with a budget of blunt facts delivered in the bluntest sort of way they will be di- rected to operate upon each other. Miss Desterre possesses the faculty of de tecting blush or frightened quiver of an eyelid at almost any range. Alp plying this talent to the case in hand, the most timid and shy of the helpless flock she has herded before her will be called to the elevated platform directly in the view of all the rest, This un- fortunate will be told to forget herself and her embarrassment and conduct !. the meeting, which will be inaugurated without further delay.

Lesson Of Accura C v .

The most important lesson of all for young man to learn, regardless of his future calling, is thoroughly to appreciate the worth of accuracy. Without, accuracy in his thought, his life will be comparative failure. No man, young or old, will for minute claim the contrary. In spite, however, of the universal acquiescence in the statement that accuracy is essential to success, 1t is not easy of attainment Let we'll enough alone" is, unfor- tunately. saying that is universally known and, regret to say, very ex- tensively put into practice. It is cer- tainly dangerous thing for parent to say to a child and never is said by an instructor to a pupil.-St. Nicho- las.
