COMING EVENTS IN THE FAR EAST.
It is conceded by all who take an Interest to parsing events and their enfation to the future, that pawing developments portend grest changes In these finds. The Eastern Question is now very rapidly becoming a graver Far Eastern Question, and ere the Year closer, the world probably will be far more interested and anxious about the scenes being enacted here, than whan Japen and Chlon were engaged in their one. sided struggle. The Japan-Chios war is only the Jaitial move to a long game now in the set of being played out, and which may take years before the last move on the chess beard of nations is made. Outside the two lands previously con- cerned, twa new pastles have appeared on the arene the Russians and the French. The Germana bave performed the vanishing act" and will be on the look out, not for land, but for, Irade opportunties. One other party, namely, England will snes come forward and take her share of the responsibilities which are laid upon ber, We have no doubt that apart from her 'DVCT lender treatment of Chinese treachery England's statesmen are keenly alive to the be found to have been really napping when opportunities of the situation, and they will not their eyes appeared most firmly shut.
Rasela will probably take the first step. It is goserally understood that a Russian Army Corps, which will consist of close open a quarter of million mes, if it comes from Europe, is on the way to the Far Exsi, Japan evidently knows this and is quietly making her preparations in the North to resist the Bear's advance. The struggle will be a hard one. Japan has the advantage of a hear and convenient basis of supply, while Russia will in this respect be at considerable disadvantages. The first successes wiit probably be with Japan, but, Rusala's resources being immersorably superior to those of her little enemy will by mere force of numbers overcome and galo her point-the occupation of Kores
But China will not be an idis spectator of this fight, and will see the opportuntly she is now cagetly seeking, of repudiating the recently ratified Treaty. She will scarcely take any action of offence by invading her victors owing to the awkward fact that she has no navy, but she will find it inconrenent to pay the rest of the indemnity or to fafil the other obligations. Japan if left alone would thus find herself in a very perilous position. She will, however, bares friend in Great Britain who is almost bound, in defence of her own existence in Eastern Avis, to take a strong stand. Russia will thus be held in check and Korea maintain lis Independence as a "boffer stato, Russia will obtain all other Chinese territory North and North-west of the Gulf of Pechili and her all- way will find a convenient terminus In the uplendid port near the polat of the Regent's Sword and a new and more formidable Port Artbar will arise under Russian dominion. China will then have paid the price to the Power she foolishly called to her assistance in the day of her weakness.
But how will Chiwa proper fare in this period of stress and storm? She will share the fate of her northern dependencies. The beginning of her end is already in evidence. The French squadron, now Journeying on the Yangtse to Nanking and Wochang, is taking a step fraught with the most important consequences, which will only have its end, by and by, in the efface ment of China from the maps of Asia.

The practica la began is the first few weeks a! life, sametimes even from birth, and is continued up to the sad of the second or third year, sometimes to the fourth. The dosa is usually one sixteenth to one-twelik of a grain to begin with, and this is gradually increased to quarter or half a grain, or even to and or two grains, according to the age or necessities of the child. When the child reaches the age of two or three years the practice is discan- Hinued.
