and populous dvillages are
,supplied with travelling trades of every kind besides; the
tea gardens and squares are filled with astrologers, necro-
mancers, fortune-tellers, peep-shows, jugglers, Punch,
dentists, quacks, in short, all the drags on the purse to be
found in other countries. The most useful of these is the
Walking restaurateur. His apparatus is of the most corn-
Pact order, all li htl balanced on his back with one
hand, g
while with the other he teazes a fire, and goes from
Place to place crying his various prepared dishes, until his
Progress be arrested by some hungry traveller. His whole
N)Paratus, which may be six feet high by nine feet long,
is almost entirely made of bamboo. Besides the one in
o°ich he walks, there are two perpendicular divisions ;
dal the top of that before him are the basins, plates, &c. '
ell the supply of wood, below which is the fire-place
wild kitchen, consisting of an iron pan, covered over by a
tt°°den tub, and l into light laster-work uon the fire ;
&"9 he boils, stews or fries, according to thep taste of the
s tourer ; in the other division are the meats, vegetables,
the., besides a quantity of gaudy chinaware, containing
mitt
dried herbs, peppers. &c., required. For a very tri-
mitt sum, the labourer can here procure a hearty meal
all out leaving his work, as the restaurateur hovers about
staileaces where most needed. Besides the above, are tea
th 's of the same kind, in which are kept, hot and ready,
ire various kinds of bohea for public convenience. The
bolirant barber's apparatus is complete ; the water always
pei_in on a fire over his head, while in his rear, on a
Pole balanced over his shoulder, are water, basin, razors,
Bco. If he be in requisition, he picks out a con-
eraets'it spot, shaves the head, cleans the ears and eyes,
short the joints, and shampoos the body, in an incredibly
