The movement aims at the overthrow of Manchus, the reigning dynasty. The foreign con- suls at a conference decided not to comply with the Chinese request that they employ foreign gunboats to prevent the revolutionaries from crossing the river to Hankow. The revolutionaries sent a circular let- ter to consuls asking that foreigners remain neutral and as- suring them that they would not be armed. PLAN TO CAPTURE CHINA. A despatch from Hankow says: The revolution which has been hanging over China for months past, and of which the rising in the Province of Sze-Chuen was only a small part, has begun in earnest. It is t to take the empire and one a republic. The noted exiled revolutionist, Dr. tion for the financing of the movement. Pie Yu, a brother of Dr. Sun Yat who is now in Hankow, has Secaiciesved President of the Pro- vincial Assembly, and Tang Hua Lung, the retiring President of the Assembly, and a noted scholar, has been elected Governor of Hu-Peh. The whole Assembly has seceded from the Imperial The rebels are well organized and financially strong. They have con- fiscated the local treasuries and banks, and are issuing their own paper money, redeeming the Gov- ernment notes with this, as the foreign banks are refusing the Gov- ernment note The revolutionaries have captur- ed Wu-Chang, the native section of Hankow, and Han-Yang, all adjoin- ing cities in Hu-Peh Province. Chang-Sha, capital of Hunan, is re- ported to have risen in revolt, a Nanking, capital of the Province of Kiang-Su, is on the verge of a rising, and several public buildings haye been destroyed the mutiny in Hu-Peh. Many Man- chus have been killed, and the ter- rified people are fleeing from the cities into the country carry ing their belongings. The prisons have been opened and the criminals lib- erated. There has been fighting in the streets, but the most stringent orders have been issued that the lives of foreigners and their pro- perty shall be respected. In all first-aid instructign, the first thing one is tuld to do in cases of fainting or convulsions is ty loosen thé clothing ; but it seems not to have occurred to any one to sug- est that some of these cases might er been prevented had the cloth- ing never been tight. Reference is not here made to the corset parti- cularly, for tight-lacing has been so often denounced that 'ts evils are well known. The present criticisms ils directed against tight neckwear. In this regard men are as often at fault as womon--in summer, in- deed, more often. Actual compres- sion of the windpipe is not the only way in which death by strangula- tion may be caused. The immediate cause may be congestion of the brain and perhaps apoplexy, the result of cutting off the return ¢cir- culation of the blood in the veins of the neck. But a man need not die in order to experience the evil ef- fect of tight collars; the bad effects Many persons rom muce or less frequent headaches, disturbances of vision, attacks of dizziness, and other dis- agreeable ailments due entirely to the constriction of the neck by col- lars that are teo small or stucks that ind. The veins of the neck are near the surface, and it takes little foree to compress them enough to inter- fere with the current of blood. In men, the trouble occurs more often in these with short necks, for it is the pressure of the lower edge of the collar that interferes most with the blood stream. Obviously, therefore, the man with the "gi- raffe" neck will suffer least. How- ever, any tightness is bad, Not in- frequently the tight neck-band of the pajamas or the nightshirt may do almost as much harm as the sti collar. me cases of persistent in- somnia have been due to congestion of the Prain from this cause, and have fieen promptly relieved by leaving the top button of the night- dress unfastenec The high, close- fitting stocks of women often cause severe headache, vertigo and nausea, for which the wearers blame the climate, their diet, or anything except their fool- ishness in choking themselves. Sometimes. persons with all the symptoms commonly caused by eye- strain, who have no relief from glasses, or have been told by the oculist that they do not need glas- ses, get well with no treatment at all. They have net noticed that the welcome relief followed a change of "| dress in which che usual tight band that constricted the*neck was re- placed by one that was loose. Youth' s Companion.

TURGO-ITALIAN WAR ENDS Following Occupation of Tripoli, Negotia- tions for Peace Commenced. A despatch from Rome, says: The first contingent of the Italian mili- tary expedition landed at Tripoli on Wednesday and occupied the town. The Government's plans in Kien to Tripoli include direct cable con- nection with Italy, the conste®ction of railroads, and a permanent arms ef 10,000 men. -- It is said that Italy is willing to allow the Turkish car rison to evacuate Tripoli wit! miti- tary honors and spare it the humiliation of surrender, provided Turkey, for which German dis- ciled to the unconditional loss of the vilayet. Peace under such con- ditions is possible though it is not consfdered imminent.

It has been an eye-open- ing trip for me, and when I get back home again I shall probably never get through telling you of the places where I have been and of what I have seen. Ia letters, only the fringe of things can be touched. Vancouver is growing wonderfully. While I write this I hear every now and then the boom of a blast where workmen are clearing away stumps or rocks either getting ready for building operations or im clearing and grading strects. The smoke of burning wood is gencrally be tween us and the mountains, and the scent of it hangs heavy in the air, like that of peat. Vancouver is rapidly eat- ing its way out into the country that surrounds it, and waste land and frost ig disappearing before the labors of .he builders. Vacle John and I went over to Victoria, as I said we wer: g7'mg to. We went by the C. P. BR. steares, "The Charmer," to Nanaimo. We had a fine view of the harbor and the shipping. Steamers from China, Japan and Australia come in to harves from which we starteu and unload their foreign burdens there. I noticed the Empress of Japan lying at the wharf with sieet metal disks hung over her hawsers to prevent the rats com- ing ashore from her, and bringing the bubonic plague with them. One of the things which I was surprised to learn from Australia is as hen's tecth in this province. might import potato bugs, too, as I am told there are none here at all. On our way to Nanaimo we passed tugs towing barges deeply laden with coal from the mines at Nanaimo. This stuff is dear in Vancouver. Though they say it costs only $250 a ton to raise it 10 the pit's mouth, it is sold for $7.50 a ton in Vancouver, and it is soft coal at wei Hard coal is $10 a ton. We stayed over night in Nanaimo, "t is as ugly a place in brick and mortar as you can very well imagine, though there One of placid pool. On the brow of the hill were rowing gnarled arbutus trees, with their ace exposed to view. Altogether it made quite a picture.

Here, in a beautiful land- locked basin among the rocks we found H. M. C. 8. Rainbow. There is a dry-dock here, and a marine railway on which great boats can be drawn out of the water for repairs to their bottoms. There were quite a number of boats lying there at the time of our visit. We took a boat and rowed about the harbor, circling the Rainbow. We were very interested to see it because it is the only @anadian man-o- which is still in commission, the Niobe having gone ashore. Another very interesting ship that was. lying. in the harbor was the "Restorer." The duty of this vessel is the 'tenets of submarine telegraph cables. We were told that it has not been out of the harbor in three years, but it is always kept there with steam up ready to leave on a moment's notice if anything happens to any of the cables in the Pacific. ext day we spent in and about the capital of British Columbia.

The Chi. nese quarter in Victoria is on a much Detter scale than in Vancouver, and while passing down the street that is lined with Chinese dwellings and stores, with Chi- nese things in the windows and strange thisake vegetables in baskets on the side- walk just at the doors, I saw quite a Chinese curiosity.
