THE WAR 151 CHINA.
The war in China viewed from
the stand-point of the United
States, took in a new appearance
last Friday when it was announc
ed from Washington that the Chi
nese minister at Washington had
received a telegraph message from
China that the American minister
Conger was alive at Pekin on
the ISth day of Jnly, alive in the
British legation, that the legation
is under the fire of the Chinese.
That was satisfactory news so far
as it relates to the lifeof the minis
ter. In the light of the previous
reports that all the foreigners and
Christians at Pekin had been mur
dered the news of their safety was
received with many degrees of
doubt. If the ministers and mis
sionaries in Pekin have not been
massacred who sent the reports of
their murder regularly during the
past montht The reports misled
the government into the sending of
troops post haste to China to force
the rescue of the Americans 'at
Pekin; The Washington govern
ment was made to believe that
American missionaries and busi -ness
men at Pekin had been mur
dered and that those who had es
caped the fury of the Chinese in
surgents had fled to the British
head-quarters at Pekin where they
were beseiged by the Boxers and in
danger every minute of being cap
tured and massacred by the rebel
Chinese. Under such a lelief it
was little wonder that McKinley
sent troops to try and force a way
to Pekin to secure the Americans
from the heathen mob. The re
port now is that the Americans are
safe, but threatened on all sidesby
the rebel Chinese, but the reports
are so destitute of details that
there is no possibility of stating
what the true state of affairs is in
Pekin. There is no possibility of
knowing who are keeping the mob
from murdering the civilized peo
ple in Pekin. Some men, editors
and other public men in America
have gone so far as to guess that
the Europeans and Americans in
Pekin are are under the protection
of the regular Chinese government,
ana as long as the regular govern
ment troops can hold out against
the Boxers, the Americans and Eu
ropeans will be safe. Other capa
ble men claim to believe that
the telegrams received from
China are false and manufactured
from the ciphers found on the per
son of or in the desk of the Ameri
can minister after he was murder
ed. At this writing, Monday
morning, July 22, the McKinley
government does not understand
the true situation in China, knows
nothing about it further than
it has sent United States
troops to China to get out of Pekin
the United states minister and oth
er Americans, save their lives and
property from the fury of Chinese,
and that in the effort the Ameri
cans with European troops have
been defeated and are no nearer
Pekin than when they first stepped
on Chinese soil. More information
from China is expected at every
ncit oi me teiegrapn machine.
On Wednesday. Julv 25 Presi
dent McKinley made public the
J act that the Emperor of China has
urged him to mediate and bring
about a peaceful solution of the
trouble between China and the Eu
ropeans and Americans. The Presi
dent expresses the belief that if the
United States government has pos
itive assurance by a reopening of
communication with her minister
and missionaries that their .lives
and property are safe and will con
tinue to be rendered safe and
peaceful, that the good offiee of this
government will be interposed.

(Copyright. 1900. by C R tewto.) -
It was a llgbtnln rod man who start
ed the schoolbouse discussion. lie
came along tbe other day and saw that
the schoolbouse was without a rod.
tnd he went to the town board and of
fered to put one up for so much. The
town board wrastlcd over It all day
without com In to a conclusion, and
when it rot to be known all over Jericho
a big crowd assembled at the postofBce
In tbe evenln to talk tbe matter over.
It was Deacon Bpoonrr wbo called tbe
crowd to order and said:
"As It appears to me and to a major
ity of tbe citizens of tbis town that an
epoch In tbe history of Jericho has ar
rived. I call upon tbe llgbtnln rod man
to state bis case.
"There ain't much to state," replies
tbe man. "I've offered to put up two
rods on the ecboolbouse and warrant It
a good Job for $40. Bein as A school
bouse is an emporium of knowledge
and bcin s.3 the cause of education may
be said to be the bulwarks of liberty,
I've knocked (15 off the res'lar price."
-I take It that he's made a pMnt,"
savs the deacon as he tunks on tbe
floor with bis cane. "Emporium oi ed

ucation and bulwarks of liberty seem
to conic In Jist rljflit nuil hit the school
bouse on all sides at once. 1 fur one
nm staudia net: t nil In this blzncss. and
I'd like to lu-ar both sides of the ques
tion. Mebbe Silas Ijiplinui, who lives
next door to tbe schoolbouse. would
like to make n few remarks."
"As fur nie." says Silas as he rises
up, "I'm ag'in the Idea of a lightnin
rod. That there schoolbouse was built
13 years ago. and durin them 13 years
we're bad 72 thunderstorms. If she's
dodged 72, why can't she dodge 200?
Wby enn't she keep right on dodgln till
she tumbles down of old age? Forty
dollars fur n lightnin rod means more
taxation. Tbar's icb a thing as an
emporium of education, but that's nlso
slcb a thing as nn emporium of taxn
tlon. Jericho Is out of debt and no
one kick in. but let tbe band of ex
cesslve taxation clutch her throat, and
bow long would It take to strangle tbe
life out of her? I'm asklu you to
pause and ponder afore It Is too kite.
"Silas, you've made a p'Int and a
strong one." says tbe deacon when the
nppliiuxe has subsided. "If tbe scbooi
house has dodged 72 thunderstorms,
tbnrs no reason to think she won't
keep up tbe record. Tea. It's a p'Int,
and nieblie tbe llgbtnln rod man would
like to answer It."
"I don't think much of the p'tat,"
says tbe man as he gits np agln.
"Tbar's S0.000.000 people in these Unit
ed States, aud because none of 'em fell
down stairs last year It don't foller
that a heap of 'em won't tumble down
this rear. I've known a man to go on
dodgin a mule's heels fur 10 years and
then git 'em both in the stouiccb at
once. Mcbbc your scboolbottse will
dodge a huudrcd mere thunderstorms.
and mi-bo we will sk.issly liev sought
our virtuous couc hes this oipht I.efore

but a bcr.; of Ki-liriters to mark the
cpot where yo;:r ::'.porium cf educa
tion once reared its'prscd reef to tie
blue vaults of heaven. I said f-K) to
the town board today, but In order to
show my Interest in the cause of edu
cation and to prove to you that my
hand is ever stretched forth to uphold
the prestige of a .nation of freemen
I'll make the price $38."
"lie's made a p'Int, gentlemen he's
made a p'Int," says tbe deacon as be
whacks on the stove and looks around.
"Yes, sir, when be talks about our
schoolbouse rearin It's proud roof to
tbe blue vaults of heaven he's made a
p'Int, and I'm more favorable to the
llgbtnln ro than I was. I think this
crowd would like to bear from Enos
Williams."
"I'm with Silas Lapham." says Enos
as he sbets up his Jackknife and gits
bis feet under him. "I'm fur lettin
sort in things dodge or bust. Tbcy
wanted to insure the meetin bouse 24
years ago, but my advice was to let
her dodge. She's thar ylt. I've got a
barn oO years old, and she's never bad
a lightnin rod or been insured Jest
bad to dodge or bust all these years
and she's thar ylt. Seventeen years
go, when I built my bouse, I put a
bell on the front door. Nobody has
rung tbat bell to tbis day. It would
be the same If we put a lightnin rod
on the schoolbouse you wouldn't see a
thunderstorm around here fur tbe next
15 years. I'm all right on the empo
rium of education bizness, and I can
see that thnr schoolbouse rearin it's
proud roof to the blue vaults of heaven
as plain as If it wa-su't 8 o'clock at
night, but I don't see no call to pay
out J 38. Let iter dodge or bust!"
"Tbar's a p'Int thar, Enos tbar's a
p'Int," says tbe deacon as he bits a
cracker bar'l wltb his cane. "Yes. sir,
tbar's a good deal In your theory about
dodgin. When all tbe cows around
here was hevin tbe lamp Jaw, a feller
offered to protect mine ag'ln It fur $3.
I said I'd let ber take her chances, and
she come through all right. I obsarve
Moses Forbusb 'among the audience,
and, as Moses built the fence around
the schoolbouse, mebbe he's got sun
thin to say."
"I ain't ag'ln llgbtnln rods," says
Moses In bis slow way "I'm not aaln
'cm for what they are. It 'pears to
me, however, that we'd better begin at
tbe bottom Instead of the roof. Tbar's
beat 20 hogs nestln ander tbe school
bouse, and tbar's about 20 boles In the
floor. I sorter like the Idea of a llgbt
nln rod, and I sorter like the idea of a
new floor and drivin the nogs out. One
Idea sorter balances the t'other, and I
don't want to cast my vote either way."
"You bevn't made a p'Int," says the
deacon, "but nobody expected you to.
I take it, however, that yon go In fur
an emporium of education, bein you
got tbe Job of buildin tbe fence and
hev seven children goin to schooL" j
"Yes, I think I do." replies Moses. i
"I've alius felt that it was my duty -to
uphold tbe Magna Charta of liberty.
iSpf
t - ueu it comes to boostln tbe
wheels of progress and civilization I'm
good to lift a ton."
; It was then suggested that tbe light
nin rod man might want to say sun thin
more, and he went at It and made a
reiflar Fourth of Jnly oration. Ha pic
tured George Washington. John Han
cock, Thomas Jefferson and half a doa
en mora goln to school to learn how to
pelt such words as "liberty," "free
dom" and "bulwarks." He pictured
them schoolbouses bein struck by light
Bin f nr tbe want of rods, and he bad
tears hi Joab Warner's eyes In leas'n
Are mlnits. Then he pictured tbe hap
py children of Jericho crowded Into the
schoolbouse on a summer's day.
Among them was future lawyers, doe
tors,, editors, statesmen' and poets.
They 'was drinkin In deep drafts of
education when a black cloud appeared
over Jim Taylor's barn, a nimble of
thunder was beard, and a mlnlt later
a thunderbolt shot out and struck tbe
schoolbouse, and thar was a tragedy to
convulse the world. Tbe town bad
saved $38 on a lightnin rod. but whar
was the scboolhonse, tbe scboolina'am
and 44 scholars T Some was sboutin
and some was wlpln their eyes when
the man sot down, and after Deacon
Spooner bad declared it the strongest
p'Int be ever beard be made ready to
put tbe question to a vote. Jest then
In comes LIsh Billings, and the deacon
turns to blm and says:
"LIsh. we are hevin a meetin about
tbat lightnin rod on tbe schoolbouse.
As you painted - tbe buildin mebbe
you'd like to say suntbln. Are you fur
It or ag'ln It V
"Neither one," answers LIsh after
awhile.
"Are you standin neutral?"
"Not exactly."
"Then, bow do you make it out?"
"Wby, tbe durned old buildin fell
down about an hour ago of its own
self, and I don't reckon tbar's any call
to waste any breath about the mat
ter." - M. Quad.

The belief In tbe potency of charms,
etc., Is very widespread among the low
er class Chinese and tbe ghaus In parts
of Yunnan. The latter In particular
have all kinds of amulets to ward off
evil, tbe gem of tbeir collection being
one which confers Invulnerability on
tbe wearer. This useful quality may
also be obtained, I was Informed, by
undergoing a very painful process of
tattooing. During my trip I was shown
a "dragon's nest," which looked like a
bit of the horsehair stuffing froci a for
eign saddle, guaranteed to render the
purchaser's house safe from fire, and a
"female deer's horn," which would ena

distance without fatigue.

IRONCLAD FEVER: ""'
A recallar Disease That Was Kills
hy Veatllatloa.
In tbe fight between tbo Monitor and
Merrlmac it was found tbat there was
not sufficient air in tbe turreted steam
er for the crew and tbattbe suffocating
gases generated by the explosion of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered It practically Impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled tbe introduction of some ap
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years bad been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
tbe striking exhibition of direct Inter
ference wltb fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In tbe Monitor waa placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through a system of pipes and
forced Into the other. Various changes
were made In later Ironclads of this
period. In some tbe air waa drawn
down tbe turrets and forced through
out tbe vessel, thus rendering them
more than ever liable to suffocate tbe
men below in battle, while in others tbe
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through tbe
turrets.
It was in the early Ironclads that a
peculiar disease developed which, be
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated Ironclad fever. In this af
fection tbe Initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but In a
short time sever acclpital pain was
followed by cnjHpete aphonia and tbis
by coma and eath. The Introduction
of ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance of this singular disease,
and In time these metal boxes, almost
entirely submerged, came to be regard
ed as probably tbe most salubrious ves
sels afloat. Cassler's Magaalne.

Fsitlsa,
' Personal experience is the best teach
er. I have fasted 48 hours at a time
Without tbe slightest discomfort, but
drank In tbat period many gallons of
water, of the plainest, most Croton
kind. I once bad acquaintance of a
pig tbat fasted IGO days. A dog can
fast two months without being much
tbe worse. Rabbits live three weeks
without food, while cold blooded ani
mals can go for years without eating.
Tbe bear In a state of hibernation
passes Into a kind of trance, so we
shall not count blm. The alligator like
wise "dies' In tbe long months of win
ter, era vina no food. There Is a fish
called tbe father Usher tbat can live
a month out of water. Tbat Is fasting.
We bave beard the tradition about the
toad tbat was sealed In a rock for
5,000 years and bopped about In lively
fashion when released from his arch-B-onomous
prison. A horse has been
kaown to fast for a month. Rzcbange.

Once when Max O'Bell was staying
at a bota? he had occasion to complain
f the marked incivility and neglect of
a waiter. The proprietor apologised, as
suring Max O'Bell tbut no such oora
plaiat had ever been made before.
When tbe waiter was reprimansled, he
explained himself thus: "It's not to be
expected tbat a self respecting Scotsman
could wait on him with civility. Didn't
be say we took to tbe kilt because our
feet were too large to get through
trousers?" Londou Telegraph.
