tons made for his reception, consisting prin-
cipally of setting out table with all sorts OF
Chinese cakes confectionery and various wines,
Oh the day appointed. In due time he arrived,
accompanied, of course, by numerous escort
and with all the accoutrements of his high
estate. He was met at the gate by the secreta-
ries and the Chinese secretary. all shaking their
own hands and bowng. AT the door Mr. Denby
met him and escorted him into the drawing

due time. When the summons came entered,

how liked China. l responded that thought
it very wonderful country; that had no idea
of its grandness until came to it. Then he said
a few other things, and finally told me that when
I came to Tien-Tsin he hoped l would call upon
his wife or wives, am not sure which. When
these courtesies had been passed, l thought it
best to retire before our brilliant conversation

heated either by gas or by an electric current,
and the waxy material flows easily from the
heated pen, setting quickly on the glass that
