a Chinese Beggar'S Retreat

There exists at Pekin pholanstery,
which surpssses in eccentricity ali
that the fertile Imagination Of Fou-
rier could have conceived. 1t is
called XII mao-tsn, that is, House
of items feathers" By dint OF carry
ing out the laws of progress, the
Chinese have found means 70 furnish
the poorest OF the community q warm
feather bed, tor the small coneideTs-
ton of one fifth OF a farthing per
night. This marvellous establishment
lie simply composed OF one great hall,
and the floor Ut this great hall l.
covered over its whole extent By one
vast, thick layer OF feathers. Mendi-
Giants and vsgsboAds who have no
domiciIe, come tc pass the night in
this immense dormitory; men,
women and children, old and young,
all without exception are admitted.
Communism prevails in full force
and rigor of expression. Everyone
settles himself ard makes bis nest as
we'll Rs he can for the night in this
ocean OF feathers. When day daRns
he must quit the premises, and an
officer OF the company stands at the
door to receive the rent of one sapeck
each for the nights lodging.
In Difference no doubt to the prin.
ciples of equality, half prices are not
allowed, and they charge child the
same as a grown person. On the first
establishment of this eminently phil
anthropic and moral institution, the
managers of il used to furnish each of
the guests with covering, but it was
found necessary to modify this regu-
lation, for the communist company
got into the habit OF carrying of
their coverlets to sell them, or to sup.
ply an additional garment during the
rigorous cold winter. The shsrehold-
ers saw this would never do and they
should be ruined, yet to give no cover
ing ct ell would have been 30 cruel
and scarcely decent. 1t was necss-
sary, therefore, to find some method
OF reconciling the interests of the es.
Enlistment with the comfort of the
guests, and the way in which the
problem was solved Was this: An i'm.
mense felt coverlet Of such gigantic
dimensions as to cover the whole DOR
mitory was made, and in the daytime
suspended to the ceiling like q can
opy. When everybody had gone to
bed, that is to say, had laid down
upon the feathers, the counterpart
was let down by pulleys, the precau-
ton having been previously taken to
make q number OF holes in it for the
sleepers to put their heads through in
order to escape the danger of sufoca-
ton.
As soon as it is daylight, the pha-
AMSTERDAM coveIlet is twisted up again
after signal hiss been made on the
tomtem to awaken those who are
asleep, and invite them to draw their
heads back into the feathers in order
not to be caught by the neck and
hoisted into the air with the coverlet,
This immense swarm of beggars is

then seen crawling sbout.in this i'm
mense sea of dirty feathers, and in
serting themselves again into their
miserable rags, preparatory to gath
eripg into groups and dispensing
about the various quarters Of the
town to seek by lawful or unlawful
means their scanty subsistence.
Among the principal causes of pau
uerism in China msy be mentioned,
besides the exubersnce of the popu-
lation, gambling, drunkenness and
debauchery. These vices, of course,
are not peculiar to China; they have
been known in all ages and countries,
and have always brought disorder and
misery in their train. -Abbe Hue,
