The Franco-Chinese War.
The bombardment of Foo Chow, in
China, by the French licet on the twen
ty-fourth of August, was tbe signal for
the opening of a war Detween the
French Republic and the Chinese Um
pire. \\ hetner the struggle will be long
or short can not, at this time of writ
ing, be easily foreseen.
Durin more than a year, the atten
tion of the world has been called to the
di feu ties between the t reneh and the
Chinese. For many mouths those na
tions have been on the verge of the hos
tilities uhi h have now at last begun.
The cause of the trouble is to be found
in the ambition of the French to obtain
control of Tonquin, the northern prov
ince of Annam, a State which has long
been tributary to China. France had
secured a treaty with a King of Annum
some years before, and it was under
this treaty that she claimed
the right to establish herself
throughout the peninsula. Several
uiontiis ago France resolved to main
tain this claim by force of arms. She
sent a small army and fleet to the
Asiatic seas, and proceeded to the con
quest of Tonquin. The French were
resisted in this by semi barbarous
bands of natives, who were really law
less brigands, and who were called, or
called themselves, the “Black flags.”
The result or this irregular warfare was
that the French troops and gunboats
advanced up the valley of the Bang-
Koi, the principal water way of Ton
quin, and in course of time captured
the two most important of iis fortresses,
Hanoi and I ae-Niuh. At i ac-hiinh,
which is the military key of the coun
try, the French eucountere 1, not the
“ol ick Flags,” but regular Chinese
troops. China from lirst to last had
protested against the French i ivasion
of 'Tonquin, and had threatened more
than once to make it a cause of war.
But when the French had at last
completed their conquest, the Chi
nese not only did no resist it,
but they made a treaty with Fiance,
combining her in the possession of the
country conquered, and agreeing to
pay trance an indemnity of fifteen
million dollars. The 1 reneh then ad
vanced to the Tonquin and ( hinese
frontier, to occupy the fortresses there.
At one of these fortresses, that of 1 ang
Son, they were resiste 1 and repulsed
by the ( hinese garrison which held it.
It appeared that, alter the treaty had
been made, the party hostile to the
French in < h na came into power.
The new Chinese ministers seem to
have resolved that the treaty should
not be carried out, and apparently the
resistance of the ( hinese at 1 ang Son
was the result of this change of policy.
The next step of the Trench was to
sei e one of the ports of tbe island of
Formosa, in the ( hinese waters: and
when this did not prove effectual they
went further, and proceeded to bombard
the town of Foo ( how. This constituted
an act of war and was followed up by
the hostilities which have since oc
curred.
Any war is deplorable. A war be
tween a 1 uroi_ean power and the might
iest of Asiatic empires is likely to bring
in its train many wretched results. Not
only will it, if long continued, be at
tended with slaughter and desolation,
but it will greatly impede the com
merce of the rest of the world with
China; it will imperil the property and
the lives of the Europeans resident in
Chinese ports; and it will render the
position of Christian missionaries one
of near and great danger.
Nor is this all. A war between thesv
two powers may lead to a still greater
conflagration. A quarrel may easily
arise out of it between several of the
European powers themselves. Inter
national rights may be violated and
national jealousies aroused, so as to
embroil Europe in a conflict the end of
which no one could pretend to foresee.
The event, therefore, is a misfortune
ot the world, which will once raoio
have to deplore the restless and grasp
ing ambition which seeks territory and
gain by the savage method of warfare,
Youth's Companion.
Timber and Tools.
It is a fact well known to mill men
that it is not always tbe harder woods,
in the ordinary a captation of the term,
that are the most wearing to the saws.
Many practical persons marvel at this
and wonder to themselves why a piece
of timber showing small crushing ten
sion and other strengths, re t uires
more power to work into lumber, and
at the same time wears out the saws
and cutting tools faster than other va
rieties of timb r, the strength of which,
in most respects, is greater.
A log of black walnut and one of
burr oak of the t ame si/ed worked into
the same sized stuff will show w idely
different results on both saws and ma
chinery. If we attempt to rive or split
these logs the walnut will work much
easier than the oak, and so far as the
various strengths are concerned the
oak is superior by Jar, but when cut
into by tools of any description the
walnut will present much greater re
sistance than the oak, and the same is
true as regards many other varieties of
hard and soft timber.
If we take a longitudinal section of
these comparatively soft timbers which
are so hard on the cutting edges, we
will lindthe minute pores or interstices
tilled with minute glistening particles
or crystals, and subject to chemical
analysis we will find them composed of
silica, one of the very hardest minerals
known, while with the hard, easy-work
ing woods they will be found nearly or
quite absent by both the microscope
and analysis, these little particles, so
linely divided as to be insusceptible of
ordinary touch, are really a better grit
than ordinary sand, and are the means
of cutting oil the tine edge of cutting
tools, as saw teeth, plane j irons, and
the like.
Two plane irons, made of a fine
quality of steel, as near alike as it was
possible for.a skilled mecliauie to
make them, were each hardened in
our laboratory by means of mercury,
then linely sharpened, so that the edges
of each presented precisely the same
appearance beneath the magnifier.
These were each inserted in an ordinary
plane and one placed on the oak, tbe
other on a piece of walnut, both pieces
of wood having been previously
dressed. At the rate of 100 pounds
pressure, each iron was crowded !or
ward four inches. On the oak sti k, the
pressure from the rear indicated 809.5
pounds, while with the walnut the in
dicator showed a pressure of over 1,-
000 pounds. The irons were both now
withdrawn, and the lirst placed be
neath the microscope; the one used on
the oak presented a general upset ap
pearance, ihe edge ot the iron showing
a slight tendency to turn downward,
there being sullicient heat gene.ated
I y ihe friction to partially draw the
temper along the minute edge, which,
however, would not extend back sutli
cient to materially affect the wearing
and cutting properties of the iron if in
constant use.
'I he iron used on the piece of walnut
showed a scratch, notched appearance
all along the minute edge, and by the
aid of the most aecurato means of
measurement at hand, these notches
were all of the same depth, but differ
ent distances apart, proving conclu
sively that the particles of grit or crys
j tais which caused them, by being hard
er than the best mercury-hardened
steel, were all of tbe same size, and
evenly distri uted as far as regards
depth of deposit in the grain of the
wood. The small spaces of the iron
edge between these notch s or scratches
were found nearly as the entire edge
appeared originally, showing again
that the cellular tissue of walnut, out
| side its mineral deposits, was really
so ter than that of oak; hence, were it
; not for these deposits the timber would
cut much easier. Of course, If the iron
had been drawn back and again shoved
through, the notches would have beeu
more apparent and gener.l, increasing
each time, and distance showed until
the entire cutting edge had been of it
! self cut off.
Consulting the laws governing plant
or vegetable growth, we are tol i that
all food belore becoming lit for assimil
ation must be reduced to its gaseous
state. If this be to, the question
arises, how, or by what methods of
plant-growth and assimilation, is it
poss ble for silica to appear#n its orig
inal lystalline sta e among tim tissues
of the growing or mature tree *vhile it
is univeisa.ly known that this variety
of wood rows only where this mineral
is abundant in so i.e of its modified
forms. This, however, is not of great
interest to manufacturers just how it
gets there, but that it is present is
shown conclusively. To get rid of it,
even were it possiole, would destroy
the beauty and general characteristics
of walnut, and t > overcome its action
on tools, rapid motion and softer iron
is the best, safest and most efficacious
method. Lumber Trade Journal.

.—A writer on horse hoofs states that
as the hardness and brittleness of the
hoofs are caused by the loss of the nat
ural water of the horn, through somo
diseased condition, it can be renewed
by restoring the water artificially. This
is done by frequent washing with warm
water, the use of wet bandages, and
the application of glycerine mixed
with an equal quantity of water. If the
trouble is due to undue heat' or fevex
in the feet this should be removed by
some cooling medicine, as a pound of
epsom salts, repealed when found nec
essary. A horse that suffers much
from this trouble should have the floot
littered deeply with soft material and
neve - stand in manure. An earth
floor kept even is excellent.
What Thoroughbred Horses Can Do.
It has been recorded that Eclipse,
whose descent is to >e traced from
both the Harley and the Godolphin
Arabian, galloped a mile a minute, but
this, or anything approaching to this,
is wildly incredible. At Brighton last
year it was said that a horse called
Bra r, the property of Mr. Leopold de
Kothsehiltl, ran a mile, and beat the
Caks winner, Geheimniss, in less than
one minute, thirty-nine seconds, but
this again is exceedingly doubtful.
Trobably the quickest time on record
is that made by the late Lord Stam
fotd s Diophantus, a son of Orlando,
who, through Eclipse and other horses,
united in the great Arab strains. Dio
phantus won the '1 wo Thousand
Guineas in one minute forty-three
seconds. The course is seventeen
yards over one mile; and this time,
over the same course, was equalled by
Galopin, winner of the Derby in 1875,
in his match against Stray Shot, dam
of Sliotover, who won the great Epson
lace f r the Duke of Westminster in
1882. It is a singular illusion to sup
pose, as the uninstructcd do, that the
English thoroughbred horse is a slim
and feeble —what is called a “weedy”-
animai. There are weedy members of
his tribe, no doubt, and when exposed
on a race course at two years old, which
probably means some twenty months,
these bant&igs may seem poor. These
cajj iruly i e set down as typi
cal race-horses than can the ten-year
old I oy be held up as an example ot
the man.
The thoroughbred horse is not only
speedy himself, but is the cause of
speed in other’s, that is to say, from
him descend tho I est hunters which
Englishmen ride, and other horses
whose pace is exceptionally good.
“The thoroughbred oneriiever stop,”
is a remark quoted with approval by
that admirable writer and pound
Judge, tho late Major Whyfc-Mel
ville; and he notes how often it is
the ease that such a horse < oes “gal
loping steadily on, calm and vigorous,
when the country I ehind ii m is
dotted for miles with hunters stand
ing still in every field.” The same
shrewd critic of horses and horse
manship has heard it aTrmed that
“if we are to believe the hunting
records of the last hundred years, in
all runs so severe and nj’oti acted as to
admit of only one man getting' to the
finish, this exceptional person was in
every instance riding an old horse, a
thoroughbred horse, and a horse undei
fifteen two!” and he continues “that
he was a thoroughbred Jiorse seems
to me a icasonable explanation of the
whole.”
V, hat distance and what height can
a horse jump, is another inquiry which
comes within the scope of this article,
and if the reader will carefully measure
out thirty-nine feet, an idea of the
horse’s capacity in this direction will
be gathered, .‘■uch a distance a steeple
chase horse called Old ( handler is re
ported to have covered at Warwick
some years ago and there is more than
one apparently authentic record of a
horse clearing seven feet in height.
The scene of one such exploit was at
the Fho nix Park, and the horse was
an animal descended from a famous
winner named Potgos, himself called
Turnip, ihe animal belonged to Sir
E. Crofton, and the Duke of Uiclimonti,
then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
wagered £SOO that this height could
not be cleared. A wall of the requisite
dimensions w’as built, and when tin
ished Turnip was ridden at it. He did
what was asked of him in perfect style,
but it happened that his grace, not
knowing that the feat was ready fo
1 erformance, was not looking when ti
jump was made; and Turnip was
therefore ridden over it again, not onh
successfully but easily. The wall oi
Hyde Park, opposite Grosvenor I lace,
six and a hal feet on the inside, with a
drop of eight feet into the road Deyoud,
has also been cleared. -English Ulus

The Professor and His Barometer.
A characteristic story comes from
Sewanee College in Tennessee. The
students were to have a holiday. The
afternoon before the day one of the sci
entific professors noticed alarming
changes in his barometer. The sensi
tive instrument clouded up, showed
great depression and was in a terrible
state altogether. The Professor foresaw
unprecedented storms and cyclones,
and after deliberation rescinded the
order giving the boys holiday the next
day, postponing their proposed excur
sion. The next morning the sun lit up
a cloudless day. balmy and mild. The
boys, appreciating the situation, put on
rubber coats, boots and attended recita
tions with umbrellas raised. They
rushed through the soft sunshine as if
pursued by howling winds, and shook
themselves on entering the lecture
rooms as if emerging from drenching
rains. The Faculty gave it up finally,
let the boys off, and the scientific pro
fessor is overhauling his barometei".—

T- /• /-subscribers on its merit.Un loubtcdly some who read this new
depaiture will think an offer to give away 130,000 in pres
ents is most unreasonable and unprofitable; but let us say to
jky •f \\ ell such persons that it costs anywhere from $25,000 to 180,000
k to secure a large circulation to a paper. We know of a pub*
lisher that spent 50,000 in one week in giving away free cop
ies and advertising h.s papers, and the money was well spent,
' r"? ''dfc\ for it secured for him im established circulation that paid
R° o ‘l interest on the investment Publishing nowadays must

just a much f"r matter, and just as much for illustrations,

k <m fK, ° circulation. On small editions, each one of the above
™jflr 'i items swells the cost of a single paper alarmingly, but on very
large editions, the expense is spread over so many papers
that it is almost entirely lost, thus you can see that large
profits can be made only by dome a large business. This is j
'aju \ j lyyjed&naktf fn precisely what we propose doin;: with The Poultry Ksbi-eu.

«I was taken sick a year ago
With bilious fever”
“ My doctor pronounced me cured, but I
got sick again, with terrible pains in uiy
back and sides, and I got so bad I
Could not move 1
I shrunk I
From 228 lbs. to 120! I liad been doctor
ing for my liver, but it did me no good. I
did not expect to live more than three
nlontiifl. I began to use Hop Bittoia. Di
rectly my appetite returned, my pains left
me, my entire system seemed renewed as if
by magic, and after using several bottle*, I
am not only as sound as a sovereign, but
weigh more than I did before. To Hop
Bitters I owe my life. ” R. Fitzpatrick.

I su Uecod with attacks of sick headache.”
Neuralgia, female trouble, for years in
the most terrible and excruciating manner.
No medicine or doctor could give mo re
lief or cure, until I used Hop Bitters.
“ The first bottle
Nearly cured me;”
The second made me as well and strong
as when a child,
“And I have been so to this day.”
My husband was an invalid for twenty
years with a serious
“Kidney, liver and urinary complaint,
“Pronounced by Boston’s best physi
cians—
“lncurable!”
Seven bottles of your Bitters cured him
and i know of the
“Lives of eight persons”
In my neighborhood that have been saved
by your bitters.
And many more are using them with
great benefit.

Do miracles?” — Mrs. E. D. Slack.
