A Disappearing Bullseye. The Chinese peasant wears a turban, loose coat’ and short and very baggy trousers, all of blue. The Chinese soldier wears the same, with an overall sleeveless smock, or long waistcoat buttoning on the right shoulder, edged round the neck, arms and skirt and down the front with broad ‘‘facings.”’ The breast and back are decorated with @ one foot bullseye with characters on it. This is all the character the Chinese soldier possesses. The bullseye would be a very convenlent mark for an enemy if the Chinese soldier would give the latcer a chance of shooting him, but the bullseye isenly worn to raise false hopes, for nv sooner does he arrive dangerously near the enemy than he doffs the garb of war to appear as ar innocent civilian. He is usually armed with a muzzle loader or standard, both equally barmless weapons. In the case of General Liu’s escort the uniform smocks had evidently not been ueed as nightshirts for more than a few weeks, the men were armed with Winchesters and a few Martinis, rusty, dirty and out of order, and wore about their middles a belt of some 60 rounder of solid drawn braes cartridges. —~London News. : ‘Her Opinion in Fall, _ The car turned sharply aruund a ‘eurve and the tall man who was _holding on to a strap somewhat loosely was suddenly thrown from his.upright position with a force that landed him in the lap of a dignified dowager sitting near him, while his high silk hat flew from his head and rolled down the aisle of the car. _ ~ “‘Sir,’’ she said as he rose to his feet again with profuse apologies, ‘‘I am compelled to say that in my judgment you were lacking in that complete grasp of the strap which was. essential to the highest efficiency in maintaining an upright attitude when turning a curve.”’ 2 That was all.

But the English tars, in common with their fellow countrymen, looked with favor upon the. resistance of their coreiigionists against the proselyting zeal of the French king, and they signed a ‘‘round robin,” expressfg their detern/ nation not to fire a shot against they1, and without waiting for a reply they weighed anchor and brought their ships back to England The admiral, however, received a perem order to return to Dieppe, whereupon the whole of the crews quitted the ships without further parley.— Providence Journal. A Disappearing Bullseye. The Chinese peasant wears a turban, loose coat’ and short and very baggy trousers, all of blue. The Chinese soldier wears the same, with an overall sleeveless smock, or long waistcoat buttoning on the right shoulder, edged round the neck, arms and skirt and down the front with broad ‘‘facings.”’ The breast and back are decorated with @ one foot bullseye with characters on it. This is all the character the Chinese soldier possesses. The bullseye would be a very convenlent mark for an enemy if the Chinese soldier would give the latcer a chance of shooting him, but the bullseye isenly worn to raise false hopes, for nv sooner does he arrive dangerously near the enemy than he doffs the garb of war to appear as ar innocent civilian. He is usually armed with a muzzle loader or standard, both equally barmless weapons. In the case of General Liu’s escort the uniform smocks had evidently not been ueed as nightshirts for more than a few weeks, the men were armed with Winchesters and a few Martinis, rusty, dirty and out of order, and wore about their middles a belt of some 60 rounder of solid drawn braes cartridges. —~London News. : ‘Her Opinion in Fall, _ The car turned sharply aruund a ‘eurve and the tall man who was _holding on to a strap somewhat loosely was suddenly thrown from his.upright position with a force that landed him in the lap of a dignified dowager sitting near him, while his high silk hat flew from his head and rolled down the aisle of the car. _ ~ “‘Sir,’’ she said as he rose to his feet again with profuse apologies, ‘‘I am compelled to say that in my judgment you were lacking in that complete grasp of the strap which was. essential to the highest efficiency in maintaining an upright attitude when turning a curve.”’ 2 That was all.

There is no ‘J.’ It's pronounced *H’ always.”’ “Oh, ia, it?’ returned the student, with a sneer of sarcasm. ‘‘I suppose your namie is ‘Hobn,’ not ‘Jobn,’ as it used to be before you went to Cuba, and perhaps you want me to tell you that thie rest#uraut is on ‘Hackson’ street.” .
