A SOLDIER'S LIFE.

Strong Men Made Helpless Invalids—The
Story of One Who Suffered Day and
Night for Twenty Years.
From the Ohe.tham Banner.
Everyone livang in and around the village
of Wheatley knows Mr Peter Sippe, who
has been a resident of the place for upwards
of twenty years, and who during the whole
of that perio i up to last year was a constant
sufferer from Route rheumatism, complicat
eat by other troubles, until he was worn al
moat to a shadow. At the age of twenty
be joined the 21st New York Volunteers,and
after being a mennuer of that organization
for three years, be joined the New York
Cavalry and served through the war of the
rebellion, He took part in the historic bat-
tles of Butt's Run, Frederiekeburg, Culpep-
per, eto., and at one time rode eighty miles
at a stretch, carrying dispatches through
the enemy's lines. On another occasion he
was on horseback for four days and five
nithte, and it is little wonder that such
' bard le'pi lift h m, a •licy did tLousands'of
others, with a wrecked constitution. W Idle
ie the army as a result of poor f xtel and of-
ten worse water, he was attacked with di -
where, which assumed a chronic form.
This of counts greatly weakened him, and
he fell an easy prey to the pains and terrors
of rheumatism. To A oorrespondent of the
Banner he said: "I never expected to be any
better in this world as 1 had tried scores of
medicines which brought me no relief at
all. Sometimes for weeks at a time I eeeld
. not lie down or sleep, and could eat but lit-
tle. I was not only troubled with rheueas
atisue but at times was subject to fainting
spells, and at other times everything ape
pearrd to turn black before my eyes. I
would often feel sick at my stomach, at
winch time food would prove loathsome to
me. My kidne38 also troubled me greatly,
and my nervous system seemed completely
shattered. Tongue can scarcely tell how
ennoli I endured during those long and
weary years. About a year ago I was ad-
vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
it was a grand day for me that I beam
their use. After I had used a few 1 oxes my
pains had deoreaqed and I was considerably
better. Later, ettrough a continued use of
the pills, I could eat, sleep and felt as able
to work 118 1 hid done 20 years ago. I now
Teel well and strong and if any of my old
momrades see this and are afflict( d I would
urge them to try DnWillianie' Pink Pills."
An analysis show e that Dr. Williams'

the elements neeessery to give new life and
richness to the blood, and restore Abet e a

Queer Definitions.
Here are some ou'rious extracts from ex-
amination papers quoted by the Chicago
Record: "The government of England is
king and queen. Queen Isabella is the
present ruler, England is owned by the,
Dominion of Canada, India and part of
Australia." .Also, "Russia has a good
government; is owned by Spain." The'
following wore handed in as definitions of
words: "Austere—the hind part 'of a
boat." "Tory—an abandoned soldier. "
"Tory --a fisherman's boat." "Serene—
deadlike." "Canteen—a cone shaped,
bottle to carry water across the desert."
One day a class was asked to explain the
meaning of "B. C." and ".A. A" It was
a sticker for awhile, but one lad finally
figured it out. His little hand ,shot up,
and he arose with decision written or his
earnest face, as he said: "B. C. means be-
fore Christ and A. D. after ho died."

JAPAN WANTS WAR.
THE SITUATION IS BECOMING VERY
CRITICAL.

—4 Menace Prom Itussits.--Britain's De-
mands May Lead to a Confliet•LEnealan
Troops in Manchuria.
London, Feb. 2.-la'afi despatch to the
Daily Mail from Nagasaki says:
The far Eastern situation is very seri-
ous, and it is believed that Japan is most
actively preparing for war.
The Pekin correspondent of the Times
says that Great Britain has definitely
withdrawn her demand for the opening
of Ta -Lien -Wan.
The British warships, according to a
despatch to the Daily Mail from Shang-
hai, left Port Arthur oftheir own accord.
The same despatch says It is reported that
three Russian cruisers are steaming off
Ta -Ku, at the mouth of the Pekin River,
on the Gulf of PeCht-Li.
Tho Daily Mail's Hong-lcong corres-
pondent says that telegrams from Hainan
announce the revolt of tribes in tho inter-
ior of the island.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 2.—The Novoe
Vreniya mentions a report to the effect
that in consequence of the failure of the
Angio-Chinose loan negotiations, a new
combination between Russia and Germany
has been started in the financial spheres
of St. Petersburg to furnish the loan. '
The paper adds that a number of Berlin
financiers have arrived in St. Petersburg
to participate in the arrangement.
London, Feb. 2.—According to a sp
lid despatch from Shanghai the critical
point of the Chinese loan negotiations
was Great Britain's insistence that the
British should Always remain at tho head
of the Yang -Tse -Kiang Valley customs

The desPatch adds that several thousand
Russian troops, which have been guar

One of the enose eighties things about
the newspaper, seers /A. L. Godieln in Tits
Atlantic, 1s Una' the publio dots not expect
from a newspaper proprietor the same sort
of morality it expects from persons in oth-
er callings. It would disown a bookseller
and cease all intercourse with him for a
tithe of the falsehoods and petty frauds
which it passes unnoticed in a newspaper
proprietor. It may disbelieve every word
be says and yet profess to teapot him and
may ocoasionally reward Ment so that it
is quite possible to find a newspaper which
nearly everybody condemns and whose
influence be would repudiate circulating
very freely ameng religious and moral
people and making handsome proiltsfor
its proprietor. A newspaper proprietor,
therefore, who finds that his profits re-
main high, no matter what views he pro-
enulgatee and what kind of morality be
praotioes, oan hardly, with fairness to the
conanninity, be treated as an exponent of
its opinions. He will not consider what
it thinks when he finds he has only to
consider what it will buy and that it will
buy his paper without agreeing with it.
Pleasure.
Pleasure, rightly understood, is the true
ultimate point wherein all our lines of
conduct ought to center. What we do for
mankind, for the public, for our friends
or our neighbors tends to the increase of
happiness or diminution of evil among
them or to some good or convenience
from whence they may reap a benefit. It
is a duty we owe ourselves to make our
Jives in every part of them as pleasurable
as we can, with our best industry arid con-
trivance, only remembering to contrive
for every part, not for ono small portion
of 0111' SP/it) in neglect of all tbe rest.—

New York, Feb. 2.—A despatch to th
Herald from London says: There is
startling.despatch in the Daily Telegraph
to -day from Se. Petersburg. This paper'
correspondent there has had interview
with a Russian admiral, now chief of
squadron, and with nn eminent Russian
diplomatist. Their declarations, therefore
if true, have semi-official weight. Practio
ally the declaration it contains amounts
o a menace on the part of Russia to
wards England, that unless England
hooses to acquiseb in the policy being
pursued by Russia in the far East, war

If this despatch is not a fake, Russia

s:
"St. Petersburg, Saturday.—"I have
ad a convereation with a Russian ad-
iiral who has been appointed to the post
f chief of squadron, concerning the situ -
tion in the far East. This officer in the
ourse of his remarks said: 'Nearly tho
holo of the marine forces of Russia will
e despittched to the far East, for it Is
eeessary for Russia to place herself in a
eition of naval strength in Chinese
tors equal to that of. Great Britain,
Us ia will not permit the opening of a

an will say the same thing with regard

mit no European power to carry .out
y such attempt against their interests
on the pretext of encouraging Chino-
uropean trade, for under that condition
o powdi' in question would become the
al mistress of China, directing both her
titles and her finances.'
"I also culled upon a celebrated Russian
plornatist, who said:
The conditions of the loan of £12,-
0,000 which Groat Britain has offered
the Chinese Government are directed
ncipally againsst the interests of Rus -
and France, and for this reason our
mbassador at Pekin will, together with
French colleague, struggle to prevent
Ma from accepting the British ,oyer -
es. By the opening of Ta -Lien -Wan as
ree port, the value of Port Arthur as a
val station would be diminished. In
spring Great Britain will no longer
upy herself with the Chinese ,question,
will certainly not take the offensive,
ding, as she will, the necessity of do-
ing hor strength and her energy to
in, where a revolt infinitely more seri-
than the Sepoy mutiny is about to
ak out. There Russia will be able,
hut difficulty, te penetrate through
hanistan and the Pafnirs to the In-
n possessions of Great Britain, to
m she will dictate terms. We have

h outposts well connected in the roar

clays, place upon the Afghan frontier
army of 100,000 mon. Your perceive
all the chances are on our side, and

EMBALMING PROCgSsgs.
The Government Should Declare Arson*.
cal Embalming as
Toronto, Jan. 29. —Yesterday afternoon,
at the meeting of the Provincial Board
of Heuleh, Mr. J. J. Mackenzie bacteri-
ologist to the board, submitted' a report
on the medico -legal aspects of embalming
fluid.
Asselraing that an hedividual had been
poisoned with arsenic, it would be in the
interest of tho murderer, the doctor
stated, that tho corpse should be arteri-
ally embalmed with arsenical fluid. The
subsequent discovery of arsenic in the
Oman by a chemical expert would be of
no legal value. The proof that the de-
ceased had been poisoned would then rest
on evidence of the symptoms exhibited
during illness and the post-mortem ap-
pearance of the eaucuous membrane of
the stomach and intestines.
The majority of the undertaken did
not know the composition of the embalm-,
ing fluids, as they purchased them from
jobbers who kept the formate° secret.
The arsenical fluids being cheap and
reliable wore most used. Embalming had
become so conemon in Ontario that no
suspicion attached to its practice. In
cities and towns 00 per cent. of corpses
were so treated and in the country 40 per
cent,
Such being the fact, Mr. Mackenzie
thought that a fluid quite effective for
the embalmer's purpose and devoid of
objectionable qualities from the legal
standpoint should be introduced. Such a
fluid was a 40 per cont, solution uf form-
aldehyde, commonly used by sanitary
authorities for disinfecting purposes. The
body of a sheep treated with this fluid
had been kept two years. The Government
situuld declare embalming with arsenical
fluids illegal.
