It must be pretty plain to the most casual even of your many readers that "Visitor" is suffering acutely from both these painful after-effects.

The seiontifio man, for whom he males no effort to disguise bis vitriolic contempt, is nothing if not practical, and is, moreover, eminently gifted with a good fund of common sense.

An adequate sup ply of winter clothing was provided in view of the diffienities of quick transport in Chins. Both the clothing and general equip- ment given out to every man were made in view of the special conditions of life on the voyage and also in Ching. Six field hospitals can accommodate 1,200 men, and tents pete for time sick, movable barracks, and wood for building barracks have also been taken out, and their use will furnish accommodation for 1,000 mon. The hospital stores already in China will meet the wants of 3,000 sick and wounded for four months.
