Eight [Days Only Allowed the" Court to Obey. Pekin, Feb. 10.?The foreign envoys have given the Chinese authorities eight days in which to issue satisfactory edicts. The foreign ministers say this cannot bo considered as an ultimatum, as the notice only refer? particularly to the cossn-: tion of examinations and also to the liability of the Governors of the provinces where outrages may be committed. The military officials fail to see the difference in a series of ultimatums, or a single ulti matuin covering the entire domands, and ask if the Chincso refuse to agreo to any points during the number of days given what the ministers intend to do. Meantime the military continue preparations for the expedition, the intention being to send out six columns of troops, two columns leaving Pokin, Tien Tsin and Pao Ting Fu respectively. Field Marshal Count von Waldersoo believes that oight days' rations will ho ntnplo for * ) column j to lake with tin in, as the linos of com^ munication will ho open and: fresh supplies will ho obtain .[ able.

"The only medicine I used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and 1 have never since b?'en troubled with Orippe."

OrawfvnlJftrofl. d-w-? j >TEH BEMI-\V tlNCASTER, S. C.. SAT Uftro*l)iTel Coasting. It is difficult to imagine a more dare devil and thrilling adventure than that of two men sliding down a steep ice crusted mountain, one in a prospector's pan an i the other on a minor's shovel. Yrt such a hazardous undertaking was accomplished the other dav by Pete McGrff and "Yankee Bill" Murphy, miners and prospectors in the Sierra Madro mountains, when they flow like the wind down one side of the treeless Quartsite mountain, a distance of about two miles with ajdescent of about thrity-five degree-, and landed in twenty-five feet of snowdrift in the forty foot onasm of Uow crook, a few miles west of Grand Encampment, Wvo. Pete and "Yankee Bill's" love of adventure will brook perils of any kind at any time for the pure lo^e of sport. Peculiar "cusses" those two rough minors, and it wra in jesting wager simply that they raced down this mountain, Pete in tho pan and "Yankee Bill" on the eliovel, both finishing with a record breaker and wl.at might havo been a neck breaker. They climbed to the top of tho peak over two feet of snow on tho day of tho adventure to wash out a decomposed quartsite. In the afternoon it turuod off cold and frcze a crust on the snow, so that tho surface of tho mountain resembled glrfS. It was near sundown when tho two nlon tinished prospecting and started to retrace th ir way down tho mountain. The slipery iced snow impeded thoir progress, making tho journey slow and dangerous at best. Loss than 100 feet Mown Potn CI ? jestingly propoaod to "Yankee Bill" that they slide down on the pan and shovel. "I'll beat you down," said Bote, suiting tlie notion to the word by getting into the pan. "You can't boat me," ropliod "Yankee Bill," at the same time squatting down on his shovel, unmindful of the danger ahead. At first both slnl along in a jorky fashion, for they woro obliged to purli themselves along at, tunes. Suddenly, however, the descent became moro abrupt, j and the two toon launched into jozuno and shot down with acceler ting spo?-d like comets through sp;iCO. The sensation they felt ca 1 neither bo described or imagined. They tore down the nn untain side iiiio an avalanche, each holding on to h.is metal sled with a visolike grip. A milo was covered in apparently an instunt, wl 011 a ridge formation turned 'thorn off their course, and they I tlew still faster at an aouto angle. The forty foot chasm of Cow creek was inevitable, and before th >y had time to realize the danger they had leaped over its edge, j cleared Co.v creek and, as if hu man drills, bored the snow drift twenty-five feet. When dim out l'e^e and "Yankee Bill" did not exactly need the coroner, but there were not enough plasters and liniment in ramp to soothe their bruises. They came up smiling, however, earh stoutly maintaining victory. Tie shovel and pan will he ex 'homed next spring hv nature.?

BB * NEW PISTOL LAW. * It t an Hardly Stand tin* Test ot the Conrts. > j One of the most radical pieces . of legislation was t lie passage of . the anti-pistol law, which, how* ever, does not go into effect j until July, 1902. .! The law prohibits the sale or t importation of any pistol which > is not 20 inches long and which [ weighs less than three pounds. . The intention of the bill was good, because no man will carry i: such a weapon as that concealed j or otherwise and if the law | would stand the test of the courts it would certainly accomplish the purpose. But it was pointed out by ; lawyers both in the senate and the house that the law is absolutely unconstitutional. But l so great was the desire to do something to put a stop to an omitted evil that the members brushed aside all considerations i of the constitutionality of the ' Mill and made it law. Tho act prevents the carrying of any pistol, concealed or otherI wise, except of the prescribed engtli and weight. An exception is made as to one's own : premises, where any sort of weapon may he carried concealed or otherwise. ; There is already ample laws in the statute books against carrying concealed weapons, hut tho chief difficulty is that the law isn't enforced. When one is convicted of violating it the 1 fine is merely nominal and in ' the case of negroes, even the > line is usually paid. But tho case p oposed remedy as provi'! ded for in tho new law will not accomplish the desired purpose ' any more than the present one, for it is practically certain that [the law will be brought to the I courts, and tho opinion of good 1 lawyers is that it cannot stand. It is likely that a test caso Will he made even before the I law goes into effect.?Columbia j Record. Volcanic Eruptions [\ Are grand, ^nt Skin Eruptions j rob hfe of joy.
