America often boasts that she acts most justly towards other nations. Yet both these two

countries have established Exclusion Acts

We cannot expect to be properly treated by the Foreign Powers until we have made our country powerful and perfectly civilized. If we.continue.to. behave indifferently towards our country, caring neither for her prosperity. nor for her, ruin, we shall one day become the slaves of other races.

WAR UNDER WATER,

ILUSSIAN ADMIral's plan to WARN.

According to the instructions given to me by the Governor Yu Lien-san we understand that on the 20th Augu &, 1902, the Viceroy Tão- mu, of Liang Kwang Provinces, and Director General Sheng Ifsian-hui, of the Railway Bureau, wrote a despatch to the Governor Yn of Ilunan, saying the Railway Bureau had ́been cotrusted to build a mitway between Canton and Hankow and the said line will pass through three provinces, Hupeh, Hunan and Kwangtung. The line will join the northern line that is to say the Lu Han Rail- way and this line is very important for the Empire, bth for in litary and commercial pur poses. The railway has already been sanctioned by Imperial Decree and a În n'cetract has been signed with American merchants, while according to the article 6 of the supplementary contract, it is clearly mentioned that each pro- vincial government through whose territory the railway shall pass will appoint a represent- ative to deal with the affairs of the province. The American representative and chief engineer of the railway, M. Gray, have now left for Canton to begin the building and will open an office at Canton for the control of engineering affairs, etc. The Taotai Cheng Hsi-hsien, being.conversant with affairs of this nature, is, hereby appointed as a representative from Hunan to stay in Shang-experiments have been made at Cronstadt. By hai, etc." Our contemporary night have added that Mr. Jadot, Jun., a Belgian, has also been appointed one of the Engineers-in-chief of the Hankow-Canton line on behalf of the King of the Belgians, who has obtained a controlling interest in the undertaking. Mr. Jadot's office is in Szechuan Road.-China Gazelle.

A NATIVE WARNING...

AGAINST DESTROYER,

Admiral Makarow, the authorofthe celebrated demonstration of the instability of the Victoria has evolved an invention which will probably cause sensation in naval circles. The adrairal's invention consists of an apparatus which gives warning of the approach of submarines by

means of sound. `

It is called the radioson, and several successful

connecting the contrivance with the military telephone system the whole .course Whitehead torpedoes off Cronstadt was transmitted to an officer seated in a room in one of the government offices in St. Petersburg, Neither weather nor any other circumstances affect the accuracy of ascertaining the direction and speed of the object under observation, The radioson will detect the submarine foe at night, in a storm, or in a 13g at any distance ns unerringly-arin-broad-daylight or a dead calm.

A BOXER PLACARD.

The following is a translation of a Boxer placard posted on the chapel door in Suifu city, 27th September

We inform all the inhabitants of the city of Sulfo that three days ago twenty odd members

of the Boxers reached this city. S

We have come in the name, and with the

the will of our sage (Confucius) to fulfil authority of our patron (Lao Chuin), and at

the will of Heaven in murdering all the foreign devils in China who continue to propagate their doctrines, and to utterly exterminate all such as enter their churches, and foolishly become their followers..

At the end of this moon we will enter the city, and with the sword murder all such.

We give notice to all the inhabitants who have not catered the religion 10 close up their shops and the doors of their houses, when they hear a gun sigrial fired from the hills, and thus escape injury.

All those who have only recently joined this religion, and wish to recant, must not attend the Church services on the morrow, which is their Sabbath Day, and so ́escape being marked by the spirit soldiers, thus turning danger into happiness.

We really can forbear no longer from this act of extermination, and so issue this notice.

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

It was once thought that a medicine was all the male beneficial for having a nasty taste. and smell. We now know that such an idea- is perfect nousense. There is no more" reason

why medicine should offend, the senses chan why food should do so. Therefore, one of the greatest chemical victories of the past few years is what we may call the redemption of cod liver oil. Everybody knows what a vila taste and smell this drug has in its natural state. No wander most people declare they would rather suffer from disease than take cod liver oil, and the emulsions are quite as foul and abominable as the plain oil, no matter what may be alleged to the contrary. Now it is one of nature's laws that a medicine which disgusts the nose and the palate, and. also sickens the stomach, can have no good effec1 as a medicine; because the system revolts against it, and cries out to be delivered from it. In

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION the desired miracle is wrought, and we have the valuable part of the oil, without the other. This effective modern remedy is palatable as honey and contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. The palate accepts it as it does sugar, confectionery or creato, Taken before meals it goes to the very secret stronghold af digestive disorders: prevents and cures Nervgua Dyspepsia, Anemia, Throat and iLung Troubles and all discases due to impurity of the blood Dr. G. C. Shannon, of Canada, says: "I'shall con- ABRUPT COLLAPSE OF THE ANGLO-CHINESE tinue its use with, I am sure, great advantage my patients and satisfaction to myself." Has all the virtues of cod liver oil; none of its faults. It was made to cure and it sells

Issued this 26th day of the Bth moon by order of the chief of the Holy Boxer Society.

EASTERN SCHOOL.

According to the Straits Timer of the 27th October, educational matters in Singapore have lately come into prominent publicity—at least among a certain section of the people-by the holding of the annual examinations in the schinols. But a quite unexpected turn bas now come about in the closure of the Anglo-Chinese Eastern School, Neil Road, and the queer part about it, says the paper, is that never lady teachers and about a hundred Chinese boys were on Thursday last dismissed at a single day's notice, and on Friday the school had ceased to exist as such. The reason assigned for the closing of the school is that it was not paying its way, and it has been known for some months that the question of its discontinuance was be

HOW THE CHINESE WILL BE TREATED by their foreign masters may be imagined by looking at the way in which the Russians behave towards the flatives in Manchuria, since their occupation of the province in 1900, They either seize their property or drive them out of their residences or kill them at will.. If other parts of China should fall into the hands of the foreign Powers, the Chinese could not expect a better treatment than that received by them at the hands of the Russians in Manchuria as above referred to

done for the teachers. Whilst on this subject it is interesting to note the system in vogue in the examinations. The lower classes are, say, examine in four subjects, and the class of perhaps thirty is divided into four sections, each section being tested in one of the four subjects. That is to say, the whole of the class is examined in one subject only. When it comes to the higher classes, who take, may be, seven subjects, the number of pupils in the sections Into which the class is divided for

It can be sink any distance into the earth, and then, owing to Its extraordinary sensitiveness to the slightest sound, it will disclose the presence of springs of water. In this role the radioson recalls the. acoustic device used by the Arabs in Sahara, but it vastly exceeds in delicacy the primitive apparatus of the Bedouin. No details have as yet been published, but it is known that the radiosou consists essentially of a sending, ap---¡ospection in a given subject is in all probability paratus, which transmits sounds of very low- intensity, and enables the man at the receiver to trace both distance and direction of the ob- ject emitting the sound.

prove to be what they were said to be,-how cheering it is to come upon them. We all hate to be deceived; especially when the decep- tion is intentional. But all men are not liars, even if David did say so in his haste. If they were society would be impossibile. Everybody knows that business is based on credit, on faith. Millions are bought daily on nothing more solid than the pledged promises of men, not written, merely verbal. The Stock Ex- changes are often called nests of gamblers, yet nowhere is a promise held in greater honour. Therefore when we say that the tried and effective modern remedy called "Wampole's Preparation" never deceives any who resort to to be believed. For this assurance is given on what it has done in the past in countless cases, on its record. It is only recom- mended to accomplish what it was made to accomplish. Its action in Chlorosis, Anemia, Ta Grippe, General Debility, Throat and Lung Troubles, Blaed Impurities, etc. is convincing. it is palatable as honey and contains the nutri tive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Fxtracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. Dr. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada, says: "I have used it in cases where cod liver oil was indicated but could not be taken by the patient, and the results following were very gratifying." It is effective from sensitive and nervous stomachs. It cannot deceive or dis- appoint you, and comes in the rescue of those who have received no benefit from any other treatment. It stands for the medical triumpha of the age. Sold by all chemists here.
