Almost under the shadow of Barney

make those famous Tweeds that we
sell so many of. Their patterns are
initiated and INSCRIPTIONS dealers sell
killarney Tweeds" that are shams.
The real article can't be found ready
made outside our stores. To work in,
travel in, play in there's nothing better.
Durability rather than beauty is their
characteristic and yet the patterns are
neatness itself, requiring less brushing
than any fabric we know OF. Frock

Ours are made by Virgoe, Middleton

with silver in his hair and also in his sock.
1 speak of the porter and his humble lot
in order to show the average American boy
who may read these lines that humor is not
the only thing in America which yields
large dividends on very small capital To
be porter does not require great genius or
education or intellectual versatility, and
yet, we'll attended to, the business is re-
munerative in the extreme and often yields
excellent returns. 1t shows that any Amer
lean boy who does faithfully and well the
work assigned to him may become well-to-
do and prosperous. Last week 1 shook
hands with a conductor on the Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railroad, who is the President
of bank. There is a general impression
in the public mind that conductors all die
poor. but here is "Jerry," as everybody
calls him, man As years of age perhaps,
with long head of whiskers, and the pleas
ant position of President OF the Irish-Amer-
lean Bank.
HOW HE IS SooTHED.
As he thoughtfully slams the doors from
car to car, collecting fare on children who
are no longer young, and whose parents seek
to conceal them under the seats, or as he
goes from passenger to passenger, sticking

too narrow for these carts, and there are
many cities in the empire where neither
four-footed beasts nor carts are to be found.
Here in Peking the easiest method of moving
from one part of the city to the other is by
means of donkeys which, not larger than
good-sized Newfoundland dogs, can 60 any
where.
A CHINESE PoRTERS.
The great part of the carting of the city
and all of the drayage is done by men.
Wheelbarrows are the drays, and these are
pushed and pulled bv stalwart, half-naked
men. They carry sometimes as much as a
ton, and have seen three men and one DON
key harnessed to one of them. One man,
naked to the waist, held the shafts of the
barrow, aided by a wide band of camel's
wool rope, which stretched from them across
his shoulders, and two others walked in
front harnessed to the barrow BY like bands
across their chests, and STOPPING over and
straining every muscle as thcy pulled at the
load. The donkey was also harnessed to
the front of the barrow and he walked be-
tween the men. The load they carried was
made up of large number of boxes labeled
with the name of one of the leading agents
of the Standard Oil Company of the United
States. China uses great deal of Ameri-
can kerosene, and / see this coal oil every-
where throughout North China.
These Chinese wheelbarrows are entirely
different from ours. The wheel is as big
around as the front wheel of a buggy, and it
comes up through the center of the bed of the
barrow instead of being in front OF it, as in
America. The load is put on each side OF
the wheel, and there is sort of framework
which runs up from the bed and keeps the
load of the wheel. The handles of the bar
row are very long, and the front part of the
bed ends in two sharp points In some parts
of China, such as Shanghai, the wheeibar-
row is the cab and street car of the Chinese,
and each barrow is expected to carry two
have seen two pretty Chinese
maidens being pushed along the road in this
way, and at Tientsin you find the streets
often blocked with these wheelbarrows load
ed with coal, stone, wool, cloth and thou
sand andone things which are used in one
form or another by the Chinese.

us and slept at Chinese inns on dirty ledges
of brick heated from beneath by fues.
These ledges are about two feet high and
they constitute half of the bedroom of a
Chinese hotel. The inns were much the
same, judge, as those of Palestine in the
days of the Savior. Low, one-story brick
buildings ran around an open court in
which droves of hogs and camels slept.
The doors of the building all opened into
the court and half of them were open at the
front and were assigned to the donkeys and
mules Of the travellers. These brayed the
livelOng night and their munehing of straw
could be distinctly heard through the walls
separating them from us.
RUDE VEHICLES.
paid some calls yesterday in company
with Colonel DENLY, our Minister to Peking.
We went in the Minister'S Chinese cart,
preceded by his maioo or groom on horse
back. The Chinese cart is the only carriage
known in Peking outside of the elephant
CARTS on which the Emperor goes out to
sacrifice at the temple of heaven. 1t is the
rudest, cruelist and most unbending vehicle

shafts beside the driver.

Manchu maidens, who were brought to the
palace from all parts of North China that
they might be looked over as prospective in

These are everywhere bad and the state

more than 10000 imperial roads; conveys no
idea to the American mind of the highways
of this great empire. Many of the streets of
the Chinese part of the city of Peking are
