Another foot further and it would have plunged Into the river 30 feet below. The motor man jumped into the river but was rescued, and a few other casualltles among the panic stricken passengers was reported. Killed and Then Dumped In the Itlver. Details of the Insurrection in the central provinces of China, received by the Km press of India, state the rebel force and the imperial troops met in a pitched battle in January, and the latter were defeated with great slaugh ter. Hundreds were killed, and their bodies after being mutilated, were thrown into the river until the stream was like a log jammed creek. It is said 200 men, women and children fell in the struggle attending the capture of Kauchon. It is feared a great fam ine will follow the insurrection, for so terrified are the natives that the crops have all been left standing and will not be harvested. Survived an Fleet rle Shock.

The Moral of This Old, Old Anecdote Will Save a Ilcnp of Trouble and a rile of Money. Something had gone wrong with some simple part of a stationary engine and the stoker could not fix it. After, spending a day or two on it he was forced to ask the aid of a more compe tent workman. He failed also, and someone suggested the employment of f a local celebrity, a sort of a tinker at any mechanical job. There is generally one in every locality. He gave two or three raps with bis hammer and touched up a rod or two, when tho pounding, or whatever ailed the ma chine, ceased. When asked to make out his bill, it read as follows: To Fixing En?lne 8 .50 To Knowing How 10.00 810.50 This anecdote clearly demonstrates that it paj's to know how. Engineer J. J.
