FLOATING HOUSES.

One OF the Strangcst sights Of Chinese
Cities.
As we approach Canton one of the
strangest sights of this strange land Is
the vast wilderness Of boats which
serve as the only homes of q floating
population Of more than n hundred
thousand human beings. AS our steam
er made its way slowly through tho
city of boats to her wharf, il seemed rs
IL half of Canton was ailoat on tho
water. All around us were acres on
acrcs--yes, square milcs-of junks,
moorcd in blocks and squares, with
long streets or canals between them;
while, darling hithcr and thithcr, were
hundreds on hundreds of others carry
ing passengers or freight. These boats
are of various sizes and shapes, and
are partly covered with bamboo mat
ting, the one or two apartments fur
nshing space for parlor, kitchen,
dining-room, bedroom, wood-shcd,
barn, and idol-shrinc. There, multi
tudcs on multitudcs of men and
women, parents and children, grand
parents and babies, find homc-each
boat often shcltcrng more souls than
Noah had in his ark. There. thousands
are born, grow up, grow old, and die
seldom being on land until carried
there for burial. Many of these boats
arc manned by women and girls, whose
large, unbound feet prove that they are
not "Chincsc ladies'" and yet they
have learned to paddle their own
canoe" Babies are fastened to tho
deck by strings; and other children
wear lifc-prescrvers or gourds or bam-
boo to keep them from sinking II they
fall overheard, though the parents
don't seem to gricvc much II one does
get drowned. There are larger and
more gaily decorated junks called
"flowcr-boats," used as floating pleas
urc-houscs Of no good reputation. A
few years ago a typhoon swampcd
thousands Of these small craft, and
hundreds Of the inmates were drowned.

Pleasant Romance OF tho Genesis and
Progress ola Western Poet.

| "A Pleasant Romance of tho Genesis and
Progress ofa Western Poet.
was running weekly paper in Q
small Northern Indiana town at the
time l first met him. You know how
the inhabitants of small places go wild
over anything of Il frcakish nature, and
the rcigning sensation just then was
the work OF blind sign painter. A
party of advertising fakirs had just
struck the village who decorated the
dead walls and fences in the most
gaudy way imaginable, the finishing
and artistic touches being done by a
member of the party who was known
as the "Only III nd Sign Painter
on Earth" Business with them was
rushing, every merchant i'm town COM
ing around and wanting work done,
for when the Blind Sign Painter. who
was none other than Reilly, felt his way
up ladder and dashed of an artistic
sign, half the inhabitants of the place
turned out to witness the feat
The scheme of the fakirs, which was
an original one and calculated to catch
the multitude, all depended on the his
trionic ability of the Hoosier Poet. He
had large. frank gray eyes, and the
vision of an eagle. When the surface
was selected he was brought out and
led to the foot of the ladder. A part
OF his business was to 90 up step,
carefully feeling his way, then turning,
stare into vacancy in an aimless, moony
sort OF style, and bring to bear on the
crowd face full of pain and pathos.
This rarely failed to draw expressions
of sympathy, and, VIII at was more to
tracts. Slowly climbing the ladder, he
fingered the surface, measuring care
fully with his hands the d mansions of
the letters, and then suddenly Selling
the brush, the sign was rcclcd off much
more rapidly than the average painter
could do il.
Another catching bit of business"
was to stumble on coming down, when
one of the party gave him a showing
below with an imprccation and brutal
order to be more careful.
'Shame, shame! Some one ought to
take the poor man away from those
ruflians," were sample remarks from
the crowd on such occasions. Ono day
when he was up the ladder caught his
eye. My suspicious had been aroused,
and he saw it in my face. Slowly and
deliberately, with owlish solcmnity, no
winkcd that great gray eye of his in a
way which spoke whole libraries.
After that | was taken in his con-
iidcncc, and finding that he was n gold
mine of talent, induced him to leave
the painters and go TO work in my
oflico, a task which was not difficult,
for he only regarded the blind
Painter" dodge as a boyish lark, and
was getting tired of the fun. That
was the beginning Of his newspaper
career. He went 10 indianapolis and
has been doing excellent work on the
press of that city ever sncr. under
stand his book Is netting h m quito
handsomely and Is success every
way. --Iifsbur1h Dispofch..
