This body. known as the Army of Eight Ba4nners,`oontains nominally about three hundred thou- sand man, who are descendants of the Maanohu conquerors and their allies. Of these about eighty thousand are; maintained on a war footing, and are I divided into three -groups, Mongols.` Chinese and Maneh-us, and form an hereditary profession within which in- termarriage is oompulsory.

The nastiornal army is called Ying- pang. This body is known as the Green Glags, and the " Five Camps, it being divided into five distinct ,parts. This army is subdivided into e.i~ghteeai corps, one of each province. and is under the immediate command of the Goyemnor-General or Viceroy. The nominal strength of this nation- ial army '3' about six hundred thou- and, but of this number only about two hundred thousand are available! for war. The Tientsin army corps is the'most`importatnt, and has about thirty-five thousand men.

The total land army on a peace footing is estimated at three hundred thousand men, and" on a warcfoorting at about a million; but the army as a whole, awarding to the same authority, has no unity or cohesion; there is no proper dis- cipline; the drill is mere physical ex- ercise; the weapons are long since ob- solete. and there is no transport, com- .m.issariast or m-edicaliservice. There are, though. several arsenals mains tained by different nrovinces where war material in the shaipeot guns and ammunition, is made and stored. The largest of these arsenals is at Shang-. and is modern in its eq;uipm'en_t. being organized by Europeans and in_ charge of two Englishmen`; the oth-` er arsenalsare those of Tientsin, Nan- king.

Their fondness is so great, the new toy is so fascinating they are so sure the "mother instinct miscell- ed, which makes them wish to rock and walk and talkto the child all his waking moments is divine and must be. gratified, that they make their child- ren over into "nervous" babies--1iter-. ally, they do make their babies little bunches of nerves. There ought to be an unwritten law in the household against "playing with the baby.". Tossing him, tickling him, trotting him, should be interdicted. The heal-g thy, normal babe is a quiet one. Like other young animals, he should do nothing but eat and sleep: and his `waking moments should be tranquil and undisturbed by nervous excite- ment. _Most . mothers have noticed that a, frolic with the baby means a crying spell afterward, accompanied: by` an exhaustion `hot-observged when [the child oi-i'e_s_ purely for lung exercise.
