Since January / more. than 5000 Chinese
have been landed in San Francisco from for
eign ports. Under the restriction act of 1882
the number of Chinese who arrived at the
port directly from China in the perion of
twenty-three months was 6,746. The new
restriction act, so-called, was approved July
s. 1884 Under this act in twelve months
there have been landed S,139 Chinese, or
], 400 more in one year than were brought in
twenty-three months under the old act.
Every day contributes some new dodge to

The Peruvians are peculiar people. The
roofs of the dwellings are always perfectly
fiat, and among the common people are used
as barnyards and memories. Very often a
cow spends all her days on the roof of her
owners residence, being taken up when a
calf and taken down at the end of life as
fresh beef. In the meantime, she is fed on
South American clover, which the Indians
bring in from the country on their own
shoulders or the backs of mules. Chicken
coops are more common on tho roofs of
dwellings, and in thickly populated portions
of town your neighbors' cocks waken you at
daylight with reminders of st. Peter.
Compound surnames are quite common in
England being readily obtainably by royal
license. AS a rule, the latter name is used
as prefix. For example, the descendants of
Edward Harcourt, Archbishop of York, who
was younger son of the first Baron Vernon,
assumed the compound surname of Vernon
Harcourt. Again, Sir Alexander Fuller
Acland-HOod was plain Mr. Hood, for he had
not then succeeded to his baronetcy, when in
1919 he marrid the daughter of Sir Peregrine
Fuller-PalmeT-Acland. On his marriage he
assumed the names of Fuller-Acland. The
uncle of the present Lord Vernon, the Hon.
William John acknowledgements Yer
non, enjoys four surnames. So does Lord
Thurlow.
There was no humbug about the princeli-
ness of Mr.. Westburg, a reporter on the St.
Louis Anzeiger, though his jocose replies
when questioned ON the subject led his COM
panions to doubt that he was the Count Won
Alt Leiningen Westerburg, as they had
heard. He died recently. The Londen Times
says that up to the Congress of Vienna, in
1915, his ancestors were sovereign princes.
The grandmother of Queen Victoria was a
Countess in this family. They lost most of
their property, and have little except pride

man, and is said to have been a tolerably eff
6cient newsgatherer.
