The Floating Homes of bangkok.

| Boats are the universal means of convey
ance and communication, and boat thus
becomes a necessary adjunct to every house
hold; to its dextrous use every child is
trained; men, women and children are
equally accustomed. Perhaps the most
common form is stout skiff, about twenty
five feet long, turning up very shapely and
high behind, like Venetian gondola. It
is broad in the beam, and two-thirds of its
length is housed over, leaving little fiat
deck in front and still smaller one behind.
Behind stands the husband and SOULS; in
front stands the wife, rowing and using q
boat-hook to help their way through the
crowds. The front of the boat is used
for business passengers G or cargo,
to family and domestic furniture.
For, incredible as it may seem, we soon
see that each boat is the home OF q family,
father, mother, girls and boys, wno are
born there, live there, and die there. In
the daytime the children and the furniture
are crowded into space not over four feet
square; at night they can spread out over
greater surface. / looked into these homes
with attention, and never could enough
wonder or admire how closely all was
! packed, without seeming to jostle or pain
fully crowd. Also, that the children
lived so happily ana cOntenteQly IN
space no greater than largesized Sara

that there are many ten-year-old children
in Bangkok river who never walked over
twenty feet in a straight line, in short, who
have never been on land. But then, wnen

Aanltsrntinr Ametican-cotton

The subject of adulteration of our Amer
lean cotton is very important one indeed,
and our southern people need to act
promptly and efficiently about correcting
the evils complained Of SO justly by manu-
facturers here. Every day reports of gross
frauds in packing our cotton reach us. \
few days ago leading spinner assured me
that he hardly hnew what to do in the mat
ter of purchasing American cotton. 1t was
so dirty and so impregnated with sand that
he could net make any money
in using it. He said that Surat and
Egyptian cotton now came in good
clean condition, and they must use more
and more of it if the Americans did not get
some better system of inspecting and pack
ing their crop adopted. The complaints
are increasing, and there Is deep feeling
growing up here on the subject. The ten
dency is to force down the price of our
staple crop in the south, and ask you TO
try and put our people On their guard,
so that our producers may be sure to receive
top prices tor their cotton. True, some few
concerns here buy the low grades Of cotton,
and squeal when they lose by the venture
but, unfortunately, those who purchase the
best grades are almost rs often deceived.
Surely our people should be able to over
come this fraudulent business. Some sys-
TEN of inspection and accounting
for each bale would soon put.
this wrong right 1t doesn't help the
case to place all the blame on the negroes.
The point is to have some plan adopted that
will put stop TO such frauds. II the cot
ton is properly inspected and a record kept
of each bale, then something practical
would come Of the agitation. A remedy
must come from whence the cotton comes
In the main our cotton comes 10 hand in
fairly good condition, but the comparative
ly few bad cases have a harmful influence
over all our crop, and for this reason some
proper and practical efforts should be made
TO ender such glaring frauds impossible
