8 EMPORIUM TO MANILA. Continued from first Page. ters or comes out of the city is carried on coolies shoulders as explained in my last letter as to Hong Kong. I was also informed that Canton is estimated to be 5000 years old. It is to-day ages behind America and is the chief manufac turing city in China. With this information you can perhaps fancy my feelings, a single American entering such a city, what would be come of me. How was it possible to pack so many people into such a small place, for most of the buildings are only one story high. I was however to be somewhat enlightened. We en tered the city and presto all is changed. We en tered what I supposed was a little passage way; soon, very soon we would get into the street, but we went on and on, shooting out of this passage way into another, turning this corner at right angles, that corner at another angle and so on and on, everywhere little shops without door or window right in the passage way, everywhere streams of Chinese all busy carrying something. It may be a basket with pigs or a crate with ducks or chickens or wcod or silk or coal or slops, always something; my coolies dodging here and there, continually calling to others to move out of the way, sometimes nearby other chairs and then often we had a time to get pass ed each other. Everywhere shops and worli rooms. By this time it began to dawn upon me that I was in the regular streets. The firs chance that offered, I ask my guide, who inform_ ed me, we were on the regular streets and that the streets were mostly six feet wide, while there were a few that were ten feet wide, but they were very wide streets. At last we rested before a larger shop than usual. We entered the shop which was a holy pawn shop, manufacturing lor silks. We could not but admire the beautiful de signs in pillow covers, doilies, etc., and after a few purchases we again took up our journey and next visited a jewelry shop, the chief manufac turing here was silver jewelry, the coloring be ing done by using peacock and kingfishers feathers. The coloring was most exquisite, the Chinaman using such small pieces of feathers for his work, that look as I may, I could scarcely see them. I would hero state, all the workmen had no clothing on, except a very thin pair of trousers: here agaiu we bought a sample of their jewelry and passed on. We next visited a silk factory, in whioh were two old, very old crude hand looms, covered with cobwebs, one China man operated the machine by foot pedal, ho also threads; the bobbin or shuttle; a boy up above manipulated the warp; yet on this ol,j fiithy loom, a dirty floor, man and boy dirty and the prespiration falling from them in big drops, they were making exquisite silk, beautiful pat terns and the silk clean as possible. This man's wages was ten dollars Mexican silver a month or about Ji.so in our money and the boy's half as much. I may here say the family in all cases live in the shop. At last on we went along the narrow street, elegant signs both carved and painted; almost every shop had a joss altar with lamps burning inscense spires burning at the altar and at the doors to keep the devils away We visited a great many shops, all the parties busy at their trades and snjell something learful ane seemingly getting worse the further we penetrated into the city. I saw one old Chinese woman take np a handful of small dried fish and smell them and put them down. If the fish had a worse odor than the street, I pity the fish. At last we came to the head Buddhists Temple of the city, called the Temple of the 500; in it were five hundred idols, all shapes and descriptions. We first visited the idols of Medicine; then enter ed the main temple aud walked around and looked at the different gods; all the time two priests were chanting prayers in a sing song sort of manner, beating drumi and ringing bells and looking at me. At last we stopped before a differ ent looking idol than the rest, my guide inform ed me this idol represented an Italian, who four hundred years ago was wrecked on an island and the ship sunk, but in thirty minutes quelled the typhoon and afterwards did other wonderful things, so he was made a god; from this we visit ed the executing gods. I will try to relate the horrors of a Chinese execution, The men are be headed, the women cut to pieces but not behead ed. Burglary is sufficient cause for decapitation in China. From here we visited the water clock, it is over 500 years old and is composed of five jars, one above the other, the upper one is filled with water, tho water slowly passes from one jar to the other until it falls into the bottom one, in this one there is a float and attached to the lloat is a brass rod about an eight of an inch thick aud one and a half inches wide; on this rod is mark ed off the minutes and hours. This was the only way the Chinese had to tell the time until China was opened up, now the American clock is everywhere; I saw score* in small shops; this clock is on one of the highest points in the city, so punctually at each hour the keeper of the clocfchangs a board outside the tower with the hour on it and by this means all parties could see the time. I was informed the clock now keeps fairly good time. It was simple hut crude. We next visited theso-called city or house ofthedead. I found a large one story building surrounded by trees, containing a great number of small rooms; most of these rooms contained a coffin, the re mains of some wealthy Chinaman or his wife and under each coffin quick lime; always an altar and idol and inscence burning. It is the custom of the more wealthy Chinamen to rent a room in this place, paying for each room according to size and location, etc., etc., from ten dollars a month up. The body is conveyed to this room in as elegant a coffiin as can be afforded, many Chinese bankrupt themselves at weddings and funerals. The coffin generally remains here a long time, often several years. When the hus band, wife or friends, in time find a suitable place for final burial, the remains are carefully taken away, the bones scraped and the bones buried in a large earthen pot. There was one coffln there I saw, costing fourteen thousand dollars, Mexican; it contained the remains of a rich Chinaman's mother, from Hong Kong. We were now six miles from the steamer. I had been In the chair for five hours and with the jolting on men's shoulders and the different smells and sights, I was rather tired and desired togo back to tho steamer. My guide asked if I wished to visit the prison, I told him no. I had seen enough to satisfy me for one day; so we started back, outside the city wall. These four frail looking Chinamen, with not even a pretense of a shoe on their feet, carried me back through the British settlement without even taking a rest and did it in a little over an hour. I say British, for Britian here rules also or at least protects her subjects and have a strip of land on the river front, perhaps a third of a mile long and about two hundred yards wide, separated from the city by a canal. You only enter this concession through iron gates. What a contrast between this strip and the city. Here all order and clean ness, beautiful bungalows or houses, nice lawns, beautiful trees or flowers, while in the city, nar row passages reeking in filth, no trees or flowers, very little sunshine, dirtand poverty everywhere. I was glad to get out and breath the pure air once more. I forgot to say that every here and there in the city there are doors and gates, at dark some of these doors are closed, closing up a portion of the city. After the door is closed no one can pass in or out unless known by the guard. Other doors or gates are closed at eight or nine o'clock, the chief thoroughfares being kept open until eleven o'clock, then all are closed. From then "until daylight there is no ingress or egress. At two p. m. we left Canton and at 8:30 we arrived at Hong ICong in a perfect deluge of rain. If I can, I shall again visit Can ton on my return journey and remain there three or four days and become better acquainted with the city and iU people. My impression s are, the city is away behind the age, everything the crudest, yet they turn out magnificent works of all kinds and descriptions. There does not seem to be much hope that the Chinamen will improve. At Hung Kong, Singapore and even at the very gates of Canton, the Europeans have the most magnificent bungalows and grounds, dress neaily and yet the merchant Chinaman or most of them to-day dress in the most crude manner, if it can be called dress at all, and live in the most miserable hovels. I will not longer take up your time, but will close, promising that if you wish on my return, I will willing give you and your readers a short talk or two about what I have seen in my travels and exhibit a little Of the work I have seen these people do.

Respectfully, Fked Juuin. Mr. Frlth'a I'urtrnlt of nickrua. It was early in the fifties that John Forster asked me to paint a portrait of Dickens for him. I gladly consented and was about to propose a day for the tirst sitting when Forster stopped me by mentioning what he called a most unfortunate propensity which Dickens had developed—he was actually grow ing a mustache! " 'lis just a fancy of the moment," said Forster, "and we must wait till the craze lias passed uway." A very few months convinced us that the ufustaehe, so far from pass ing away, was rapidly growing into what threatened to be a formidable beard, so, unless one-half of the face was to be lost to us, no more time should be lost. My idea was to paint him in his working clothes, but when I found that lie always wore a light bright blue *llk coat with big red cuffs every morning when he took pen ia hand I remonstrated so successfully that after a little hesitation he con lented to wear the black jacket in which he now appears at South Ken sington.—W.

Audubon, the great naturalist, early In his career wore his hair very long, lie wrote in his diary one day: "l wear my hair as long as usual. I be lieve it does as much for me as my paintings." However, in 1827 his friends succeeded in persuading him to get his hair cut according to the pre vailing fashion. On March ID of that year lie wrote in his diary: "This day my hair sacrificed and the will of God usurped by the wishes of man. As the barber clipped my locks rapidly it re minded me of the horrible times of the French revolution when the same operation was performed upon fill the victims murdered by the guillotine. My heart sank low." Further to express his grief the margin of the page on which this entry was made he painted black about three-quarters of an inch doep all around.

These reap rich rewards In return for their perilous risks and adventures, and some of them receive as much as $2,000 for a single year's catch. The keen eyed hunters watch the nesta un til the young are hatched and then, patiently waiting for the mother bird to leave in search for food, make short work of the capture, while the mother bird is invariably shot to death upon her return to the nest and in her fren zied search for her young. Bolder hunters than these make attacks at Bight, while the lees experienced use snares and nets, a method, however. Ik ft majority of cases, unsuccessful. Cant Iron. By altering the rate of cooling the strength of iron can be greatly changed, and the test bars are often run sepa mtely from the casting and cooled quicker, so that they usually have greater strength, sometimes more than twice as much. Separately cast test bars are always stronger than those cast on the castings itself, and of the kitter the one nearest the heaviest part of the casting is always the weakest. The remedy, as above indicated, Is simple when the false witness has anee been pointed out. An Apt llcudlinu. An English weekly, speaking of head lines, tells of an excellent one which appeared over a story of tho I'igott forgery. In that case one of the de vices by which Sir Charles Russell brought the unfortunate forger to bay was by getting him to write the word "hesitancy." In the forged letter the word was misspelled "hesitency." The Cuy the flight of Pigott was announced aa editor suggested the headline, "The Man Who 'Hesitetes' Is Lost," and it was so excellent that it was immedi ately putin type. Smell and Ta»te.
