THE TEMPEST IN TEALAND.
Cauies of
Threatened Smash 'in
China. , , ,;
Dr. J. T
Gracey contributes to
The Missionary Review an article on
the causes of those disturbances in
China which at present seem likely
to develop into a revolution.
China, li"ke some countries better
known to us, has a bad case oi pension-bleeding;
At the time of
the Taiping rebellion the gov
ernment enrolled an extra army
consisting of some million of
I men. At the close of the war these
men were pensioned. This genera
tion of soldiers has passed away, but
the pension goes on, for when a sol
dier dies a substitute was immediate
ly found, who continued to draw the
pension money. All sorts of corrup
tions naturally crept in, and the sys
item has become a curse to the Em
pire. The present government has
made an effort to root the evil by
cutting off the payments, and a
storm of indignant protest is the con
sequence. 1
1 Among the most violentbbjectors
to the refprm are the members of
the Kolao Hui, a powerful society of
soldiers. Ofher great secret socie
. ties contain the germs of conspiracy,
and the whole system of secret so
cieties is a potent factor in brewing
trouble.
Another source of trouble lies .in
the antagonism which , a large pro
portion of the people have for' the
government, which is not Chinese
but Tartar.
x Lastly, there is a general belief
that the . impeiial army is a rotton
system, exist'ng principally on paper
and the pay roll. "

GOOD MANNERS AND MORALS.
The Necessity of Politeness on the Fart
of Teachers.
School Journal.
It is agreed on all sides that child
ren should be taught to be polite.
This the "average teacher" assents
to when the subject of manners pre
sents itself. But how , about the
teacher's manners? That is a point
to be considered. George Washing
ton, when asked why he touched his
hat to his negro servant, repltedT "I
cannot allow n servant to outdo me
in courtesy." It.is a recognized rule
af that merely conventional polite
ness that governs the behavior of all
well bred people however super
ficial that the more refined courtesy
is to be expected from a superior to
an inferior, rather than the reverse,
Ho much more should this feel
ing be prompted by that spirit of
Christian forbearance that underlies
the ethic! side ot good manners. A
teacher.occupying a higher position
and having .greater opportunities,
must feel called upon to excel in
jpoliteness towards pupils. No one
' agency can do more toward evoking
that spirit in them. It is not suffi
cient for him to feel polite, he must
act polite. -

Gen. Roscius W. Judson, a relic of
tnc war of 1812, died not long ago in
Ogdensburg, a pretty little city on
the St. Lawrence river in New' York
State. The General knew everybody
and everybody . knew the General.
During the last years of . his life he
was haunted by the ghost of many a
good whiskey which he bad seen and
conquered, and the weight -of these
many victories bowed his shoulders.
By profession Gen. Judson was a
.lawyer. -The old man drew a pension
every quarter, and when it was gone
he got "trusted. the "trust
reached such proportions that the
government bounty fpr two centuries
would just about wipe it out. Most
of h's creditors rather liked the
old man, and, knowing that the ac
counts would soon be blotted out
never to be reopened, continued to
trust," but Nathan Boyd, whd had a
bill for $3, made life a burden to the
general, who was a gentleman, but
always just a little short of cash.
Nate would present that bill and
change his luck when he was fishing
off the dock, or would dun him when
looking at the bottle, in a grocery
store.
One day the General met Boyd on
the street and before the well-worn
bill could be found said:
'Natej there's just one way that
bill can be collected, for I've decided
not to pay it unless I have to."
"How s that?" asked the Scotch
man.
' 'TDo you- really want to know!"
Yes."
"Well, you sue me. I always pay
a judgment against me."
Boyd within the hour found a iua-
tice of the peade and brought suit
tor his $3.' The summons was
served and the old warrior came to
court, his arm laden with dust-cov
ered volumes. Boyd stated his case
and showed his bill.
'Do you acknowledge this ?"
asked the justice.
"Yes, sir."
"Then why should not a judg
ment be given against you ?"
Because I have a bill against Mr.
Boyd." , '
Boyd was surprised and declared
that he owed nothing.
"I have a bill for professional
services, a bill for 5."
"I don t owe it, said Boyd.
"Didn't you ask" me how to collect
this bill against myseH ?
"Yes."
'.'And didn't I tell vou to sue and
dindn't you follow my advice? I
came here, sir, as your lawyer to col
lect that bill and charge you $o for
advice and counsel. A barrister,
sir doesn t give nis opinion tor

The general left the court room
with $2 in hifpocket for suit brought
against himself. i
.. MEXICO'S BOLD REBEL.
Interesting Sketch of the Man Whose
Name la in the Day's Telegrams.
Catrina Garza, the intrepid, but
unfortunate leader of the revolu
tionary movement in Northern Mex
ico, is a remarkable man in many re
spects. ; His bitter hatred of Presi
dent Diaz was incited by the refu
gees and malcontents who have con
gregated in large numbers on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande river.
Garza is only twenty-nine years of
age. He was born in Matamoras,
Mexico, his father being a well-to-do
merchan of that city. After hn
ishing a course in the schools at
Brownsville, Texas, he went to Lare
do, where he became acquainted with
General Martinez and-other political
refugees who had been expelled from
Mexico by President Diaz. He join
ed apolitical organization to which
the -e men belonged. From Laredo
Garza went to San Antonio, and was
employed for some time as a writer
on a Mexican newDaper called .1
Mexico- Texano. He made an exten
ded tour of the United-States, visit
ing New . York, Chicago, St. Louis,
and other large cities and spent
about a year in-St. Louis, work
ing on various newspapers there. He
then established airBagle Pass, Tex.,
a Mexican newspaper, the columns
of which teemed with attacks on
Gov.- Garza Galan, of the State of
Cbahuila, Mexico. These attacks be
came so violent that Garza was ar
rested upon the c large of criminal
libel. Governor Galan being the
complainant." He was never prose
cuted, because he ceased to publish
the obnoxious newspaper. When next
heard of he was at. Corpus Chnsti,
where he was seriously shot by an
other Mexican during a hot political
discussion. His next move was to
San Diego, Tex., where he courted
arid wedded the pretty daughter of
Juan Cordova, & wealthy stockman.
About a year ago he became the ed
itor of a newspaper at Palito Blanco,
called the Free .Thinker, which at
tacked President Diaz in the most
libelous language. Snorts were.
made by the Mexican government to
suppress the publication, but all
proved unsuccessful.
FLUIDS AT MEALS.
The Present Medical Opinion on the
Subject. .
It was formerly considered injuri
ous to take fluids with tne meals,
owing to the fact that the juice of
the stomach was thereby diluted and
the dtgestion of the food retarded.
A noted Russian physician has con
ducted extensive experiments to de
termine the effect of; taking fluids
with the food, and gives as the re
sults of his researches that "on the
whole the widely spread custom of
taking fluids, during or just before
one s meals, proves to be rational
and fully justified on strictly scien
tific grounds. To take fluids with
the meals is almost as important an
adjunct to digestion as the mastica
tion of solid food preparatory to
swallowing it.
Of course the quantity of fluid to
be taken depends on the feelings of
each individual.
"Merrily, merrily, shall 1 live now.
the little girl said, ."for I'm not to be
kept in because of that horrid neuralgia.
My mamma has bought a bottle of Sal
vation (jil from the druggist and it cost
only 25 cents a bottle. t

widespread as to have attracted the
sympathetic interest of a large number
of our liberal and favored people. - In
some of. the great grain . producing
States of the West, movements have al
ready been organized to collect flour
and meal for the relief of those perish
ing Russian families and the response has
been such as to justify the belief that a

cooperation of transportation lines. ' I
is most appropriate that the people
whose store-houses have been so lav
ishly filled with all the fruits of the
earth by the gracious favor of God
should manifest their gratitude by large
gifts to His suffering children in other
lands. The Secretary oi the Navy has
no steam vessel at his disposal that
could be used for the transportation of
these supplies, and I therefore recom
mend that he be authorized to charter a
suitable vessel to receive them if a suffi
cient amount should-be offered, and to
send tbem under charge of naval officers
to such Russian port as may be most
convenient for ready distribution to
those most in need." " -

My bbjr. when two months old. had a breaking
out with what the doctor called ecsema. Her head,
arms, fee, and hands were each one solid ore. I
tried everything, but neither the doctoi i nor anything
1m did her any gnod. We
could get no rest day or night
I tried the Cuticura Ksmb
dibs, but 1 confess I had no
faith in them, for I had never
seen them tried. To ' my
g eat surprise, in one week's
time after beginning to nee
the Cuticura Remedies, tho
sores were well, but I con
tinued to nse the Rksolvknt
for a little while, and now
she is as fat a baby as you
would like to see, and as
sound as a dollar. I believe my baby would have
died if 1 had not tried Cuticura Remfdiks. I write
this that every mothrr with a baby like mine can feel
confident that there is a medicine that will cure the
worst eczema, and that medicine is the Cuticura
Remedies.
