THE BOXERS OP CHINA,

Originally organized, on the plan of
law and order league, for proteotlon
against the bandits that infected
Shan -Tung peovince, the Chinese Soo
olete of Boxers at• length degenerated
let° a band of murderers, robbers and
general lawlessness. Repeated out-
rages of the bandits led to the organ.•
teatime of the "Boxers," who were at
first known aa the Society of the
Groat Sword.
Diehonest.and designing persons sic-
deeded in getting control of the af-
fairs of the eucioty, the efforts of
Which they directed against their.
personal enemies, whom they repro -
melted as bandits and lawless persons,
These 'victims, in turn, appealed to
the Christian 'missionaries, especially
the German Catholios, for protection,
professtng conversion,. and the mis-
sionaries used every effort to secure
justice for thorn. It is believed that
some of these, fellows were hypocriti-
cal in their !pretensi nus. At any rate,
the condition of thinge intensified the
Peeling that the Chinese have always
held against the missionaries and, tak-
en with their general contempt for
foreigners, produced an alaisning an-
ta'gonism that has resulted in num-
erous murders and outrages.
-Op to ten years ago the missionaries
had remained unmolested for some
time, when on May 10, 1801, two nuns
Were maltreated by a mob, who charg-
ed them • with bewitching children.
Mission houses were plundered and
disturbances occurred all through
China. Finally, some German priests
were -murdered at Shan -Tung, which
aroused considerable resentment in
Europe. The 'Boxers" at this time
inaugurated a reign of terror
throughout Shan -Tung, robbing, beat-
ing and ,murdering native Christians
and destroying houses. The governor,
a vacillating favorite of the emperor,
under stress sent an armed force
against thee "Boxers," a hundred of
wham were killed and many
wounded.
The governor was not pleased with
the -results. He degraded three of
the victors, and reported to Peking
that the so-called rebels were merely
a congregation of honest country peo-
ple whom the soldiery had .attacked
and massacred without warrant.
Within two weeks the "Boxers," en-
couraged by the attitude of the gov-
ernor, had renewed their campaign of
pillage and murder. Many Catholics
and Protestants suffered, and the
track of ruin was widespread.
The murder of a young Church of
England •missionary named Brooks
brought matters to a climax, and ex-
cited the British government to action
which has been less vigorous than if
John Bull were not otherwise engaged.
The Society •of Boxers is said to num-
her 11,000,000 •men.
VALUE OF DEAD CELEBRITIES.
mg money 1s Paid for lite Stairs on Noted
fiends.
Statisticians tell us that the hairs
of our heads are numbered, remarks
the 'Cornhill Magazine, and they fur.
-tiler state that the average head of
fair 'hair consists .of 143,000, of dark
hair 105,000, and of red 30,000; there-
fore; if we allow our celebrity 100,000
hairs, or say, 500, relic trade, locks,
we shall have some data upon which
to estimate the value of his hirsute
adornment. A lack of Edward IV: s
hair last July fetched £8. 8s.; in 1890
some tresses of Marie Antoinette's
hair were, brutal as it sounds, knocked
down for £30; two locks of Na-
poleon's'.hair, one of which is in the
possession of Lord Sheffield, sold re-
cently for £300, the price included a
letter showing that it was a well-
authenticated memorial, and £5, re-
spectively, while a watch and a look of
Sir Walter Scott's hair realized £26
5s,; if we value our celebrities' locks
sot £S apiece, or £4,000 for the head
of hair, no one with the above figures
to guide him can accuse us of exag.'
geration, A "part" of the beard of
George 111, last August only realized
85s., but then George was never really
popular among relic hunters, and we
have no doubt that our celebrity would
command better prices. As u "part"
is so vague a measure, and as the sta-
tistician, so far as we know, has so far
failed to number the hairs of our
beards, we feel obliged to estimate the
value of the 'celebrity's beard and
moustache at the nominal figure of
£2600-a very alarming sacrifice, we
feel sure.
REVIVAL OF WOOLLEN GOODS.
Thin woolen sl'ufts are promised tre-

comes in all delicate shades. It is as

age over other than fabrics that, as it
has no .dressing, it oan be worn equal-

spite of the Lucks and plaits and full

The suburban :road was gay with
the plumes of flowering Mao, and the
bright promise of laburnum. The red
buds on the May bushes had not yet
in -twirled. The water cart had just
gone by leaving a pleasant scent of
wet earth,
She was leaning her arms on the
gale and looking away from -him,
" Sb it's no use 9" he said—he also
'was leaning on the gate. The road
was very quiet, except for passing
tradesmen whose carts now and then
flashed along its silence, He had call-
ed to bring her a book, and she had
walked with him to the gate. He bad
not meant to speak then—had indeed
rehearsed many a lime n declaration to
be made in very different surround-
ings—but she Looked so dear in her
blue morning gown, the breeze of
spring played so chanmingly with that
heir cr her's that quite suddenly he
had spoken and she had said "No."
•''It's no use?" he repeated, for she
still kept silence, and her eyes` were
far away.
" No; it's no use," she said, "I could
not marry anyone unless I was so fond
oa him that I couldn't_ bear my life
without bim That's the .only excuse
for marriage."
Then I'm not to come here any
more—I suppose I"
" Oh, dear!" she said, drawing her
eyebrows together with a worried
frown, " why did you go and spoil it
all?. It was all so pleasant 1 Can't
you be really sensible ? Let us go on
just as we were, and pretend that
nothing has happened."
"No," he said. "I shall go away.
When one lives in lodgings they may
as well be in Putney or Kew—as
here."
She thought how dull tennis and.
dance and picnic would be without
him, and said stiffly: "Just as you
please, of course."
Then her face lighted up as the
rattle of hoop and hoopstiek and little
pattering (Feet drew her eyes to the
other side of the road, where a little
girl in a scarlet frank came quickly
along the asphalt, her brownhair
flowing behind her,
" Here's Vynie—"
The child saw her sister and her
friend, for he was a friend to all
children, and struck the hoop so that
It bounded on the curb and flew into
the middle of the road. The little
scarlet figure followed it. Then, in a
flash, a butcher's cart from a side
road, a clatter, a .scream, a curse and
the butcher was reining in his horse,
80 yards down the road and looking
back over his shoulder at a heap of
soariet and brown that now had'orign-
son mixed with it, and over which a
giri'in blue gown and -a man. in a gray
suit were bending. '
"Her leg is broken. They have sot
it. It will be months before she can
walk. But they say she will be all
right then again."
The two were standing Jit their gate
again, but now there was no fresh
rose in heir face, and in his eyes no
light of passion."
My poor dear," he said -and she did
not resent the words—Piet me do any-
thing I can. Forget. all that folly of
this morning and let me help -ray poor
little Vynie."
"I will—you shall," she said, look-
ing at bim through swollen eyelids red
with weeping. " but ,!there is nothing
any one can do. It is horrible. When I
told her she would have to lie still for
a time she tried to smile, and then she
said, "Don't cry, Sissy. I will be as
good as gold;' and then she said she
should sleep all day and lie awake at
night and hear the nightingale.
She has never heard it yet."
He remembered how he had listened
to the nightingale in the copse be-
hind her house on many a summer
night when he had walked lonely in
the fields to see her light in the win-
dow and her shadow on I.he blind, and
he sighed and said:
"The nightingales are singingbrave-
ly in the wood beyond the station. Pre
glad she thought of something that
pleases Ler, poor darling 1"
Vynie, lying still and rigid in her
splints, with wide open eyes, watched
the day die. Then the lamp was light-
ed and presently that, in its turn, gave
place to the yellow glow of the night
light, and the groatshadows it cast.
Are you asleep, Sissy, my own'?"
said the little voice.
" No," any darling." Rase bent over
the bed ," Does it want anything 9 Will
It have some milk,—nice fizzy milk?"
"No—yea; but I want to her the
nightingale, Sissy Why doesn't he
begin? Isn't it late enough?"
" Yes, my sweetheart, but perhaps
the nightingale's got such a pretty
home, in the warm country where he
lives that he .ea n't make up his mind
t0 tome Here
Oh, Sissy must come I I can't lie

please ask G ,o tell the nightingale
how badly I want him, And, Sissy, put

bed and he .(mold dot know I've got

' No, my p•reoious one, Try to go to
sleep, and Sissy will wake emu if he
bogies to sing,".
•But Vynie could not sleep et by

Tom was not sash a fool as to say,
" You have ate." " He only said, " Yes,
1 know," and pressed her hand,
"You are gond," the said and wens
bask to the. child.
A little fitful sleep came in the long
night hours of thstt terrible Sundaty,
but it Was broken and feverish, and
at every awakening the little 'voice,
growing ever weaker, slid;
"Isn't it dark yet ? coo send
the nightingale? Oh, Sissy, 1 do: want
to bear hien,"
The old servant., who had been with
the two sisters since Vynie's birth, two
months after the father's death had'
Poet the life of the mother, insisted on
sending Ross, to rest, and sat by
Vynie's side,
Nursey," whispered the child,
"come close, Will you do what I

Anything, my precious," said the
old woman; holding the hot littlehand
In her smooth, withered palms,
" Well, kneel down Una tell God I

you always . remember to 'say your
prayers. I forget wine sometimes,
even when I am not very sleepy. Oh,
nurse T d
y, ,hail never be sleepy any
more, Db tell God all about it,"
The old woman knelt by the bedside,
and with a faith simple and beautiful
as the child's own, " told God all about
It." '
The dusk was deepening. The child
lay with cheeks scarlet against the
white pillow and shining eyes fixed on
the slowly darkening squares of the
window. She moaned with pain and
the misery of sleeplessness.
"Open the winnow, nursey, nay
dear," she said softly, when the night
had .almost fallen, I think I beard
something."
When the window was opened
Vynie held her breath and listened to
a silence that after a moment was
broken by two or three mellow notes.
"It is—oh, it is, Nursey—nursey-"
"It's the nightingale, right enough,
my pet," said the old woman, as Rose
crept into the room like a ghost -in
her white dressing gown.
" Oh, Sissy, my own 1 It is -it is!
God's not forgotten me. He's going to
let me go to sleep, and I shall hear
the nightingale even when I'm asleep.
Listen."
Again the full notes pierced the soft
darkness.
Then came a night when the night-
ingale did not sing. Vynie did not anise
it ; she slept so sound o' nights now.
On • that night followed a day when
Tom did not come,' then another day,
and another. Rose missed him mis-
erably. On the first day she was an-
gry at his absence; on the :second
anxious; on the third she sent the old
nurse to see whether he was ill.
" Yoa'd best go round," said the old
woman when she came back from her
mission; he's mare than ill. Pneumo-
nia or solmething, and he keeps ask-
ing fbr you. Go you ; I'll stay with the
obald. He's got no one with hint but
his landlady, a feckless body, if ever
there was Mae. Go now, my lamb."
She came to him and took his hand.
" That walnan says I'm dying," he
whispered; "hut Vynie's all right,

While life as a farmeris one of 0001.
siderable independence, it is very far
from being one of ease. The very
nature hf tide' calling is one that ex-
poses its followers to all sorts of
weather, and it is perhaps not sur-
prising that so many farmers suffer
from chronic ailments. Mr. Thos. Mc-
Adam, of Donagh, P.E.I., is a fair t
example of this class. Mr. McAdam
himself says;—"I was always looked
upon as one having a rugged constitu- 1
tion; but the hard work, coupled with
the exposure incident to life on a farm, 1
ultimately proved too much for me,
About eighteen months ago I was at- c
tacked with pains in the small, of the
back and thighs. At first they were
of an' intermittent nature, and while
they were extremely painful, would
pass away after a day or two, and
might not bother me again for weeks
As the attacks, after each interval,
grew 'more and more severe, I became
alarmed and consulted a doctor who
said the trouble was lumbago. His
treatment would give temporary re-
lief but nothing more, and ultimately
1 was almost a cripple. To walk, or
even to move about in a chair, or
turn in bed caused intense agony,
and in going about 1 had to depend
upon a pane, if I attempted to stoop
or pick anything up the pain would
be almost unbearable. This condition
of affairs had its effect upon any
whole system and for a man in the
prima of life, my .condition was de-
plorabia. I think I had tried at least
half a dozen remedies before I
found relief and a cure, and this
came bo me through the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, which a friend
urged me to try. I felt some relief
before the first box was all gone, and
by the time I had taken five boxes,
I was as well and smart as ever, and
although months have now passed I
have not had any return of the
trouble. My cure is entirely due to
the use of Dr, Williams' Pink :Pills
and the only regret I have is that 1
did not try' them at the outset. Had

fi1NTS FOR
THE FARMER. •
..mow PLOWING FOR CORN.
Both .deep and shallow plowing for
corn have their ardent advooates.
Where the land is covered with barn-
yard manure the plowing should be at
least an inch shallower than
the last plowing. The constant
rains parry the soluble particles of
fertility down deeper in the soil after
each soaking rain. If plowed shallow
the strata of formerly plowed land
lying immediately underneath will
take up and hold most of the soluble
plant food, whereas if turned under
to the usual depth it will soak into
the subsoil, and being deeper than
most plants seek their food, is almost
lost as far as immeaiate returns are
concerned. Only deeper plowing
will make this locked -up fertility
available for plant food.
With a stiff sod the oonditions are
almost tbe same as when manure is
applied to the surface and plowed
under. Corn is not a deep feeder and
a few inches below the top you will
find a perfect network of fibrous
roots. In an extremely dry season
deep plowing for corn is or great ad-
vantage and extra large crops are
often grown from this practice. How-
ever, in most sections the conditions
are not favorable more than one year
in 4 for deep plowing. Shallow plow-
ing will guard against the lose of fer-
tility, as the growing crop in no one
season utilizes it all.
TESTING SEEDS.
The farmer or gardener should test
his .seeds before planting or sowing.
them, to see how large a proportion
of them will germinate. We know of
no batten' way to de this then to plane
them between two layers of flannel,
which place in a plate, moisten with
water and cover with .another plate,
then set in a warm place where it
will not freeze nights, and keep the
flannel moist. Most of garden seeds
should germinate in a few days.
Any which, do not appear within a
week after •.the first comet may 'be
considered praotioally valueless, for
although some might be more than a
week behind the first, and yet sprout
finally, where they start so slowly
they seldom make vigorous plants. It
is a good idea to count the seeds put
in, say 100 of each for small seeds, and
if 80 to 85 per mint, of them' have put
out good sprouts at the end of the
test they are good seed, and 70 per
cent, ds a very fair seed, though we
would not caro to use any that did
not test up to that. Of course the
time (before the first sprout appears
varies with different seed. Lettuce
might come in three days and some
kinds of grass not in less than three
weeks. Carrots are said to germin-
ate better in the soil than under this
teat, and the same may be true of
beets.
DAIRY GRANULES.
Throw away the shallow pan setting
of the milk, for this is the abomina-
ion of all the evils. Take the deep
etting in cold water. Churn to granu-
es, handle as directed, and you can
make butter that will command the
op of the market.
Do not make the mistake of feeding
elves too much carbonaceous food, as
it will tend to fasten them while inter-
fering with growth. A nitrogenous
diet, judiciously tempered with car-
bonaceous food like rowan hay, with
the addition of oil cake, is admirable,
especially if roots are given at inter-
vals through the winter.
There it evidently a strong prejudice
on the part of the farm dairy woman
against what is called creamery but-
ter. Why? It outsells her product, If
this is true why net study up and
learn what the creamery process is
and see if that process gannet be
adopted in dairy practice.
The Pennsylvania agricuafural col-
lege has been working on the, line of
making small cheese to meet the. exi-
gency of these oonditions. They have
been making a cheese of about seven
pounds weight. Itilis makes a .cheese
of good size for handling and for fam-
ily use. Professor Hayward says there
has been a• ready sale for all that
has been made in tisat vicinity, and
more could have been sold. The price
received is 18 cents a pound, equal to
20 cents for butter.
FAitht 1NDIVIDUALITY.
The trouble with average mankind is
that it delegates somebody else to do
its thinking, rind as much of its work
as it is possible to get rid of. The agri-
cultural experiment stations are do-
ing a splendid work In the way of ex-

Nelbou, Ont., May 14.—Friends
of Mrs. R. Fitzsimmons of this ptaoe
will be pleased to learn that she is
about again. As is well known in this
district, Mrs. Fitzsimmons has been
more or less of an invalid for the
greater part of the last twelve months,
She is now, however, in robust health
and thanks Dodd's Kidney Pills for it.
Mrs, Fitzsimmons, her friends will
remember, was not at first aware of
the cause of her ailment. Kidney Dis-
ease attacks its victims in so many
forms and so gradually that its pres-
ence goes generally undetected, until
its ravages have affected some other
vital organ. Then the malady is palled
Heart`Disease, Rheumatlam, Bladder
Complaint, Dropsy, Worsens Weak-
ness, Paralysis, or same other one of
those many Forma of diseased kidneys,
Such, no doubt, was the danger into
which Mrs. Fitzsimmons was running
when arrest ed by Dodd's Kidney Pills.,
She complained of a pain in the side,
She grew so weak, that she was, as she
herself slates, almost unable to walk.
She took various Medicines, never
dreaming, of course, that Sidney Dis-
ease was the cause of her trouble.
When the truth did occur to her, she
at once had recourse to Dodd'slKidney
Pills. The result is she is now, in per-
fect health.
