Why the Chinese Oppose Railroads.


Foreigners in China make a great
outcry about the stupidity of the Chi
nese in holding out against railroads.
Chinese do hold out against railroads,
and they are quite right in doing so.
They feel that to introduce railroads at
present would be to flood the country
with foreign engineers, contractors,
managers, machine mechanics, engine
drivers, etc., and once there the China
men fear that they would never leave,
but get hold on the country, and that
China would become second India and
pass under foreign rule. Rather than
have the foreigner they go without the
railroad and bide their time. Railroads
and all the rest will come as soon as
they can make and manage them with
out our help. Coming up to Pekin from
Tientsin was surprised to look out OF
my boat and see telegraph posts
stretching along the country, and
learned that there had been telegraph
established between Tientsin and Tung
| Chou, place fifteen miles from the
capital. 1t was erected under foreign
supervision, but is said to be worked
entirely by Cinnamon. China feels her
| self competent to work telegraph,
and has it not onay from near Pekin to
Tientsin, but from Tientsin onward to
river port near Shanghai. As soon as
China feels that she can work rail.
way, the railway will come. A great
deal that is said about China being
ready for railways is premature. There
is hardly a place in the north of the
Empire where a railroad would pay
What China wants first is good roads
After some ten or fifteen years of gooC
roads, an intercommunication will
spring up which will call for railways
but at present no such traffic, except
| perhaps, on one route, has been de
veloped, and a railway, if built to
morrow, would stand rusting its rail
in idleness. It is all very well fo
merchants and spectators to call fol
rapid advance and improvements, bu
any one taking fair and dispassionat
view of the matter will, especially if b
has any sympathy for the Chinese, fee
that rapid advance and the suddel
introduction of railways would be any
thing but wise and patriotic on the par
of China. .-Pekt9s Cor. Pail Mall Gazette

A Pair of Tame Flies.

A pair of tame flies is one of the
nightly curiosities of the foreman's
room in the distributing department of
The Record. In summer the flies come
by myriads, but in winter they are, as
in other places, seldom seen. Mr.. Fore
stel, who has charge of the department.,
lunches about midnight and always has
the companionship of two flies, which
make their appearance upon the edge
of his plate as soon as he begins the
meal. There are never more than two,
and it was a good many days before
Mr.. Forestel noticed the regularity of
the visitors of his self-inVited and some
what curious guests. At first he thought
it was merely a coincidence that two
flies should alight upon his plate every
night, but in time he became so much
interested that he determined to closely
observe the actions of the pair, which
he became convinced always waited for
| his meal to commence, and then delib-
erately few down for their regular
lunch. He watched them so closely that
he was able to distinguish them apart
and to discover beyond q doubt that it
was not series of two flies, but always
the same pair, night after night. As
this went on, Mr.. Forestel and the flies
became famous friends, and a consid-
erable degree of intimacy had grown
up. So friendly have the two become
that they will permit themselves to be
handled, and the other night this
familiarity came near having tragic
ending. Mr.. Forestel, in a fit of absent
mindedness, picked up a portion o.
bread upon which one of his winged
guests was perched. The fly, thinking
he was safe in the hands of his human
friend, did not disturb himself, and wa:
halfway in big, hungry human mouth
before the mutual discovery of the hor
rible mistake saved his fyship's life.
The flies at first would not appear !
another person than their host wa
present. but they have gradually becom
accustomed to others. On the night
when MIR. Forestel is not on duty other
have gotten out their lunches on tn
table always used by the former. TIL
flies would come as usual, but, afte
] making brief but careful reconnoi
sance, would hastily fly away withou
