rravel in China.

Travel in northern China is accom-
plished in cart, a mule litter, or the
saddle. The first method is the most
uncomfortable but tho most rapid, tho
second the most comfortable but the
slowest, the third the most independent
but the most uncertain.
The cart used in northern China has
two heavy wheels, with wooden axle, no
springs, and body about four feet long,
and three broad, over which is light
framework top covered with blue cotton.
Two mules driven tandem by carter
seated on the left shaft take it along at
a rate of about three miles an hour. and
one can make in it an average Of thirty
five miles day, even over the roughest
country. It will carry about three
hundred pounds of goods, and one or
even two passengers; and the tighter one
is squeezed in the more comfortable it
will prove, for that, and that alone, will
be protection from the terrible jolting
over the rough country roads.
1t is told in some old book Of travel in
the narrative of the mission Of Lord
Amherst to the court of Pekin, If re-
member rightly, that one Of his attend
ants died from the effects Of the jolting
he received during short journey in one
of these CARTS But this mode Of travel
being the most rapid, adopted it, Sew
eral years of experience of cart travel in
China had made me bold, so that l did
not fear the fate which had overtaken
the Amherst mission man. Comfortably
wrapped in my wadded Chinese clothes,
I squeezed myself into my cart, feeling
like delicate piece of chinaware packed
in cotton, and after hearty farewell to
the friends with whom was staying at
Pel1in, the carriers cracked their whips,
and with shout to the mules we were
off.-Century.

A Christmas with Edwin Booth.

81 remember a Christmas l spent in
Mr.. Booths company many years ago."
said a young theatrical manager in the
foyer. 'He had bought summer resi-
dence at Cos Cob, Conn.,, the previous
summer, and invited me up to play
Santa Claus and do the chimney act
His property was a fair sized little
promontory of land, bounded on one side
by the Connecticut river, on the other
side by Long Island Sound, and the
New York and New Haven tracks
formed the base line. If there is any one
road affected by tramps it is that same
New Haven road, and when I arrived,
two or three days before Christmas,
there was line Of them waiting their
turn at the gate that reminded me of
highly successful advance sale, one
tramp near the gate even offering to sell
his advanced position for ten cents.
Booth was much worried about the dan
gerous looking fellows, and it struck me
that a dog would be highly appropriate
as a gift.
81 wired to friend in New York, and
the day before Christmas the biggest
Siberian hound ! ever saw was waiting
at the little station for me. Booth was
tickled to death, and we managed to
chain that dog just inside the main gate
near the lodge, and then we shook hands.
It was an awful big dog, bigger than p
little donkey that arrived on the next
train with a go-cart as a present to his
little daughter Edwina. Well, we fixed
up the presents that night. dressed up
in fur rugs and traps as Santa Claus, and
had arranged to drive the donkey into
the reception room and distribute the
gifts from the well laden go-cart. The
dog was to remain in the little shed we
had extemporized for him, but he didn't
He was there on business, and he attend

a piece of twine and broke for the bal
cony, which I just managed to reach
from the cart. OF course there was a
racket, and got into the window, and
by the time we had armed ourselves with
antique swords and a revolutionary mus
ket the noise had subsided sufficiently
for us to venture forth. The dog was
just seen in the moonlight disappearing
over the stone wall, thousands of dollars'
worth of presents were scattered in the
deep snow, and donkey meat and fur
were lying an inch deep over the three
acres of the Booth premises. The Sibe-
rissn bloodhound had torn the donkey TO

The Pious Greeks Christmas Table and
How Hc Prepares for It.

The Pious Greeks Christmas Table and
How He Prepares for It.
For month before Christmas every
pious Greek has observed rigid fast,
says traveller, consequently the liable"
which on that day is spread in every
house. produces something akin to fes-
tivity.
NY friends of the evening before
begged me to sit down and partake of
the meal that they had prepared. It
was somewhat of struggle to me, l
must own, for l expected it would not
be served in very magnificent style.
Still, was not prepared for what actu-
ally happened.
On small round table was placed
perfect mountain of macaroni and cheese
not such cheese as we are accustomed
to put with ours, but coarse sleeps milk
cheese, which stung my mouth like
mustard, and left a pungent taste therein
which tarried there for days. Then
there were no plates, no forks, no spoons.
The master of the house had knife
with which he attacked the dish, and
the one which on ordinary occasions fell
to the mistress was now kindly placed
at my disposal. AS for the rest of the
family, they were an example Of the
adage that fingers were made before
forks, and these fingers grew perceptibly
cleaner as the meal progressed.
What q meal it was, indeed; as If it
were contest in gastronomic activity.
Yet it was pleasant to see the appetite
with which great and small entered into
the contest and filed their mouths to
overfowing with the savory mass. I
was left behind in the contest, and had,
fear, to tell many untruths concerning
my appetite and the excellence Of the
dish, and great was my relief when it
was removed and dried fruits and nuts
took it's place.
To drink we had resinated wine-that
is to say, wine which had been stored in
keg covered with resin inside, which
gives the flavor so much relished by the
Greeks, but which is almost as unpalata-
BILE to an Englishman as beer must be to
those who drink it for the first time.
The wine, however, had the effect Of
loosening the tongues of my friends, who
had been tce bEsy as Yet to tab, and
they told me many interesting Christ
mas tales. Exchange.
