The Chinese soldier wears the same with an overall sleeve Jess smock, or long waistcoat button¬ ing on the right shoulder, edged round the neck, arms and skirt and down the front with broad “facings.” The breast and back are decorated with a one-foot bull’s eye with characters on It. This is all the character the Chi¬ nese soldier possesses. The bull’s-eye would be a very convenient mark for an enemy If the Chinese soldier would give the latter a chance of shooting him, but the bull’s-eye Is only worn to raise false hopes, for no sooner does he arrive dangerously near the enemy than he doffs the garb of tvar to dis¬ appear as an lnuocent civilian. He is usually armed with a muzzle-loader or stundurd, both equally harmless weap¬ ons. In the case of General Liu’s es¬ cort the uniform smocks had evidently not been used ns night-shirts for more than a few weeks, the men were armed with Winchesters and a few Martinis, rusty, dirty and out of order, and wore about their middles a belt of some sixty rounds of solid-drawn brass cart¬ ridges.—London News. SINGULAR STATEMENT. From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Plnkham The following letter to Mrs. Pink ham from Mrs. M. Rank, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., is a remarkable statement of re¬ lief from utter discouragement. She says: “ I never can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. “Some years ago I had womb trouble and doctored for a long time, not see¬ ing any improvement. At times I would feci well enough, and other times 5 vos miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse, I can hardly explain my feeling* at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys¬ teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone. “Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured. “ 1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case ivas similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta¬ ble Compound. I det<?rmined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, * Thank God for such a medi¬ cine.’”* Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lvnn, Mass., for advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women onlv. **I have been using CA8CAKKTS for Insomnia, with which 1 have been afflicted for over twenty years, and I con say that Cuscarete have given me more re lief than any other reme¬ dy I have ever tried.

THE PENALTY IS KEPT IN FORCE. fiesolt Accepted By* the Public Without Demonstration^Text of Order Given. A Paris special of Saturday says: The court of cassation has decided to grant a revision of the Dreyfus case, and will institute a supplementary in¬ quiry. The court, however, has declined to order the release of Dreyfus. The decision of the court as follows: “In view of the letter of the minis¬ ter of justice, of date September 1st, 1898; in view of the arguments of the public prosecutor denouncing the court for the condemnation pro¬ nounced by the first conrtmartial of the military government of Paris, on December 2*2d, 189-1, against Alfred Dreyfus, then a captain of artillery attached to the general staff; in view of all the documents in the case, and also of articles 443 to 446 of the code of criminal procedure, amended by the law of June 10th 1895, relative to the admissability of an application in proper form for revision. “Whereas, The matter has been brought before the court by the pub¬ lic prosecutor in virtue of the express order of the minister of justice. “Whereas, The application comes within the category of the cases con¬ templated in article 443 and has been introduced within the period fixed by article 444. “Whereas, The judgment, a revis¬ ion of which is demanded, has the force of a chose jugee. “Whereas, The documents produced do not place the court iu position to ‘ a decide all the merits of the case, and there is ground for making a supple¬ mentary inquiry. de¬ “For these reasons the court clares the application to be in proper form and legally admissable, and states that it will institute a supple¬ mentary inquiry and declares there is no ground at the present moment for deciding on the public prosecutor’s application for a suspension of the penalty.” The judges of the court half were occu¬ pied for three hours and a in con¬ sidering the judgment. The public, whose admission to the oourt was regulated with the greatest care, awaited the decision with mark¬ ed calmness. No One Can Bo Shielded. By the decision the court of cassa¬ tion obtains the most absolute control over the Dreyfus case. It can demand and examine any documents whatever, including the dossier of any case bear¬ ing upon the Dreyfus matter and can examine under oath any witness, how¬ ever high his position. In short, if the court makes a sin¬ cere use of its power the truth will re¬ ceive a much better chance of being discovered than would have been the case had the revision been by another conrtmartial whose members might have been actuated by a desire to shield the general staff. Its procedings will not be public and there can, therefore, be no objec¬ tion to a communication to it of the alleged secret dossier, if this is still in existence, while the numerous gen¬ erals who have expressed their belief in the guilt of Dreyfus will now be called upon to explain the grounds of their conx-ictions. Although the liberation of Dreyfus has not been ordered, the court can order him brought to France at any moment and will probably do so at an early stage of the inquiry. The court refrained from ordering his release because it would have been a presumption of his innocence. KINO GEORGE MAY QUIT. Report Current That He Is On the Eve of Abdication. According to advices received at London from the court of Copenhagen, where King George of Greece is stay¬ ing after attending the funeral of the queen of Denmark, it is believed there that he will abdicate next spring in favor of the Crown Prince Constantine, Duke of Sparta. TANNER SET PRECEDENT. Big Corporation Did Not Reduce Wages As Was Contemplated. A special frpm Joliet, Ill., gaivanizers says: The threatened strike of the of the American Steel and Wire company, which involved 5,000 employees, is off. The reduction that was to have taken place Tuesday has been averted. The men notified the company that they would not accept, declating that Governor Tanner’s action in the min¬ ing districts in using the state troops to keep ont imported labor had set a precedent that would prevent the rep¬ etition in Illinois of the importation of labor said to have been practiced at the company’s Indiana plants. PRESIDENT IS PLEASED. Cabinet Expresses Satisfaction Over Dis¬ patches From Furls. The president laid before the cabinet Tuesday the various dispatches from Paris in regard to the presentation of the United States’ proposition in re¬ gard to the Philippines. The oa inet was in session for nearly two hours, discussing tbe matteT, and adjourned after expressing entire satisfaction in all that had been done in the matter so far. STRaNGER than fiction. A Horse That Was Swallowed ASre by • Hair from His Own TaiL From fhe Southern home of Senator Quay comes the following letter from a veracious correspondent: “Being an ex-soldier and having only fifteen months to serve to acquire a title to a quarter section of land, I went to Florida in 1SS5 to put my plans into execution, Not being posted as to the landmarks, I had to hire a settler to locate the land for me, and as we had to go about eight miles through woods over bad roads, with no bridges, we went horseback, and La crossing a stream I noticed that my friend’s horse’s tail caught In an old pine stump, pulling a hair from the tail and leaving the hair fast to the stump. “As you know, a horsehair will turn to a snake when in water, and I made up my mind to watch that particular hair. So, after locating my land and getting a log house built, I took my gun and started out on a hunt, and during my rambles I came to tne stream that my friend and I had crossed, and. sure enough, there was the horsehair snake as big as my thumb and over four feet long. As he was fagt to the stmnp I let him alone and continued my hunt, bag¬ ging some quail, a rabbit, and two squirrel, which gave me a good mess of fresh meat. As I was very busy for the next three weeks, I had no time to visit my pet snake, so you may judge of my surprise when on my next visit to find the snake as big as a stovepipe and over forty feet long. As I was going to have a log rolling the next week I kept my secret so that we could have some fun after we were through our day’s work. I got every¬ thing ready and sent out my Invita¬ tions. My friead that showed me the land came with the rest of them and told me his horse was lost or stolen. We all pitched in and did a good day’s work and had a good dinner. I told them my secret and we went to the branch. You can imagine our sur¬ prise when we found the snake as big as a saw log, with a bulge In the mid¬ dle as big as a sugar barrel. “Well, to make a long story short, we killed the snake and cut him open and my friend’s horse tumbled out. We thought the horse was dead until he commenced to move, and soon ran around all right, and my friend rode him home. I have heard a great deal about horsehair snakes, and this is the only instance I know of where a horse was swallowed alive by a hair from his own tail.” A Mexican Iron Mountain. Near the city of Durango, Mexico, is an iron mountain 040 feet high, and the iron is from sixty to seventy per cent, pure. The metallic mass spreads in all directions for a radius of three or four miles. Tlie entire deposit Is estimated to be sufficient to supply all the iron required in the world for 1,000 years.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Convincing Argument. “This dog, madam, would be cheap at $ 100 .” “I would take him, but I am afraid my husband might object.” “Madame, you can get another hus¬ band much easier than a dog like that.”—Life. A Nation of Dyspeptics. From the Mountaineer, Walk alia, N. Dakota, The remorse ol a guilty stomaoh is what a large majority of the people are suffering with to-day. Dyspepsia is a characteristic American disease and it Is frequently stated that “we are a nation of dyspeptics.” Improper food, hurried eating, mental worry, exhaustion—any of these produce a lack of vitality in the system, by causing the blood to lose its life-sustaining ele¬ ments. The blood is the vital element in our lives and should be carefully nurtured. Restore it to its proper condition, dys¬ pepsia will vanish and good health follow. For example, In tho county of Pembina, North Dakota, a few miles from Walhalla, resides Mr. Earnest Snider; a man of sterl¬ ing integrity, whose veracity oannot be doubted. He says: L i §} s S' A f i The Doctors 111 Disagreed. “I became seriously three for years indiges¬ ago. The doctor gave me medicine tion, but I continued to become worse. I had several physicians at intervals who gave me some relief, but the disease would return with all its accustomed severity. “I read la the newspapers articles re¬ garding the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and finally coneluded to try the pills. Five months ago I bought six boxes. The first box gave me much relief, and after using four boxes I was cured.” These pills are recognized everywhere as a specific for diseases of the blood and nerves.

The Deutsches Volksblatt of Vienna, Austria, publishes an interesting in¬ terview with Dr. Blessing, the medi¬ cal officer of Nansen’s polar expedi¬ tion, on Andree’s fate. Dr. Blessing expressed the opinion that It was a great mistake to conclude that Andree is hopelessly lost because a few false reports as to his whereabouts have been circulated by practical jokers and others. Andree’s expedition was not a wild and reckless undertaking, but a well thought out, carefully or¬ ganized scientific experiment. Andree and his companions carried provisions for a lengthy period, and could well be living in some part of the polar re¬ gions, probably in Franz Josef Land, or some of the islands which form that archipelago. Dr. Blessing added that he thought it would be well to wait until the end of September before considering the outlook for Andree’s escape black. If no news is received before then, some efforts should be made to search for traces of the he¬ roic explorers. A Movable Feast When should dinner be eaten? Tne good old-fashioned Elizabethan “Franklin warranted dinner hour of twelve,” but the usual dinner hour in Elizabeth’s reign was 11. In 1561 12 o’clock was the hour in English farm houses. Cranmer dined at 12. In 1650 Yenner wrote: “Our usual hour for dinner in all places is about eleven of the clock.” This he thought too late, and be advocated the hour of 10 . Alas, we lead an artificial life. We do not dine at 12 . Would that we could! Would that we could eat sup¬ per at 6 o’clock and go to bed at 8 o’clock. But we should not be able then to go to theatres or concerts or lectures or parties. That is the chief reason why we should like to go to bed at 8 o’clock.— Dinners and Diners. Sew York Voters.
