There is one element which the city Of
Fairhaven can amble along without, and
that is a select set Of persons Of elegant
leisure known heretofore as loafers. but
who have Of late been classified as hobos
The only thing they are ft for on earth Is
To iii jails with themselves and vermin.
No matter how much work il to be done
they can never find employment aud yet
they are the people who are the loudest in
prociaiming that the world owes them a
living. They are the deadly enemies Of
clean shirts. and a pair Of BACKED boots
s. TO them q monstrous outrage. They
very much dislike a busy thrifty citizen
aud hence stand about the doors Of drink

allow them. aud icer at respectable people
who pass by, thus hiding behind the very
Jaw which they break. for in many
instances the men whom they seek to
annoy would not hesitate at giving them

gentleman feels against being a party to
a street scene Of the character suggested.

CHINESE HUMoR.

The sad-eyed and solemn looking Mon
golian is generally supposed TO be without
humor. and it is diflicult to understand
that the books and newspapers printed in
tea box characters can ever have any
more fun in them than that which lies in
the qneer looking characters which the
Chinese use for letters. The fact is, how
ever. that humor of very line quality
exists among the pig tailed celestialS. and
they take the cue to joke as readily as
an American tough takes one of their
queues when in fight with them.
Lately General Cheng- ki-TOng. Chi
nese charge d-affairs at Paris published
translation Of Chinese joke-hook
called The Book of Laughter" and the
translation exhibits the fact that the Chi
nese not only have a peculiarly dry hui
NOR. and that they also have been the
authors OF many of the chestnuts now
used by end-men in minstrel shows and
clowns in circuses. but they possess the
faculty of conveying strong satire through
their humor. As an illustration of the
latter. the translated book contains III,

Speaking Of Tyres, | met man here
yesterday from Anacortes who told me
that preparations were being made there
to build three hotels bigger than the Pal
ace Hotel in San Francisco, theatre
which would surpass the Auditorium in
Chicago, glass factory that would en-
tirely eclipse the new Albany works. a
rolling mill that would make Pittsburg
look pitiful and fence of with a stone
wall harbor that would make Belling
ham bay look like duck pond-but
come to think Of IL he was not the kind
Of Tyre mentioned above, at any rate
that isn't the way to spell IL. But speak
ing Of musical instruments and opera
companies. Manager Hanna Of the Ia
coma theatre told me this story the other
day: In the orchestra Of the Juch Opera
Company were vioinist who owned a
pet dog. a pug, and cello player who
had pet cat, and they were In continual
trouble with each other about those ami
mails, which were in a regular "cat and

to his instrument to express his indig-
