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.

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. I'. Frith, R. A., in King,

Au<lulion nnd liin Iluir.
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.

There are many eagles in the Ten
aessce mountains, and consequently
there are many mountaineers who are
expert catchers of the young eagles.
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.
The sense of smell is most nearly al
lied to that of taste. Hearing and see
ing depend upon nerve responses to
vibrations in the air and In the ether.
In order to taste a substance It has to
be wholly or partially dissolved; in or
der to smell a substance it must en
counter the olfactory organs as a va
por, an emanation, a cloud of particles
arising from odoriferous matter.

NATURE'S OWN CURE.
Hyomei (Cures Catarrh Without Dangerous
Drugging of the Stomach.
Not until llyomei was discovered has
it been possible to truth! ully say that a
remedy l'or catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
few times a day, and during that time
every particle of air take into the air
passages and lungs is impregnated wiih
the germ killing ane health giving Hyo
mei. It is the only treatment that cures
catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some other
diseases and never makes a permanent
cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills
the germs in the throat and note but pen
etrates to the minutest air cells in the
luugs and enters the blood with tho ox
ygen, killing the germs in the blood. It
frees the mucous membrane from poison
ous microbes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but SI.OO, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomei for several weeks treatment.
L. Taggart had so much faith in the
merit of Hyomei that he agrees to return
the money to any purchaser who may be
dissatisfied.
