redhot vodka that the Moujiks drink-a
man who listened with an odd sympathy
and satisfaction to stray scraps of con-
yersation from common soldiers-a man
who had an naccountable longing and
loathing for the lower classes, and the
other man was the cultivated, elegant
Volkonsky. He was naturally so naughty
that nothing in the way of rank could dis
concert or even affect him greatly. he
went calmly upon his way, digniied, I'M
abashed. and upon a perfect equality with
the very greatest.
He had seen veteran officers, men who
had commanded divisions in the presence
of the enemy. grow pale and stammer be-
fore ROYALTY while his own pulse did not
quicken one beat. But he never looked
into the eyes of a droschky driver or
spoke word to peasant that he did not
feel disturbing influence-frst a strange
sympathy, followed by reaction of dis
gust. 1t was this, perhaps, that made him,
in spite of his own strong sense and good
taste, so luxurious in his habits that the
officers of his regiment had an endless
fund of good-natured stories about it.
Every means within Volkonsky's power
he used to mark the distinction between
himself and the common herd. His bath
was daily perfumed with rosewater. His
toilet articles cost a fortune. Linen fine
enough for him could scarcely be found.

while you buy. There are all sorts OF fish.
and they are always sold alive. No China
man would buy dead fish, aud in case
you want to buy less than whole fish at
time the Chinese pedder will pull the
fish out Of the water, lay him squirming on
the block and cut a piece of quiyering
flesh out of his side for you while you
wait. He does not kill the fish, and after
you are through he throws 1t back into
separate pail of water and waits for an
other customer to take off The rest One
of the chief meats sold is pork, and you
see hogs trotting about through the streets
of Picking. They wallow in the puddlps
right under The shadow of the Emperor's
palaces, and they are the dirtiest hogs in
the world. There are all sorts of game
for sale in the markets. and you can get
suipe and quail and SQUIRRELS of all kinds.
The Chinese are the best raisers of
poultry in the world. They have duck
farms and goose farms. and they know all
about artificial il cubation. They sell great
quantities of dried geese and dried ducks.
and they carry bushel-baskets full of dried
ducks about the city for sale. They sell
all kinds of fruit, and they are adopts in

They bury their grapevines in the north in

closets The streets are the sewers, and the
most degraded savage of our western plains
has a greater regard for the exposure of
his person than have these pig-tailed, silk
dressed, gau1y, fat Pekingese. The city
has absolutely.no sanitary improvements,
and the street lamps are framework boxes
backed with white paper. and they are
seldom lighted except during full moon.
1t is absolutely unsafe to move about in
the nighttime without lantern If you
wish to keep your feet clean, and you
have 10 balance yourself in the day TO keep
out of the mud. All OF the houses are OF
one story, and the Government depart
ments look more like broken-down barns
than the offices of great empire.
l went one morning to visit the State
Department, and as looked at il thought
of our great building of the state, war and
navy, which cost, you know, more than
SO. 100000, and which is the biggest gran
tie building in the world. The street was
a mud puddle, and / Rugged low, sbacklv

which a dirty official was standing. He
shook his head as 1 entered. but l pre-
tended not to see him and pushed nv way

which were, in fact, the Offices of the de-
partment. The buildings were filed with
clerks, who wrote away at bare tables, the
light coming in through lattire-work walls
backed with white paper. They scowled at
me as looked, and one of them gave me
TO understand that had better move on.
l next visited the famous Hanlin College.
1t was worse than the State Department,
and everything about it was shabby and
going 10 seed. l tried to get into the board
of punishments, who're the horrible cruel
ties which tie Chinese Government metes

bier had they been knocked up out of odd
pieces of old Noah's ark, and everything
was filthy and the picture of ruin. The
only really new things in the city seemed
to be the clothes of the officials, and l
laughed again and again as | saw these
man darins bow down in the mud and go
through the forms of the Chinese court
amid their filthy surroundings. They are
among them selves, as far as words go, the
most polite of all nations. and they look
upon US as Doors and barbarians. The
most of the people believe that they will
conquer the world. and [ doubt whether
a thousand of the million and half peo-
pie in Picking know anything of the
Japanese victories. The court officials dis
tribute all sorts of lies, and they have
probably told the people that they have
whipped the Japanese on both land and on
sea and that the Mikado will be brought to
Picking. The majority of the citizens OF
the Chinese capital really believe that
America is subject to China. They think
that Colonel Denly is sent to the capital
TO pay Uncle Sans tribute to their EN-
peror, and this, am told, is their opinion
as 20 every foreign legation. They have
nicknamed the street upon which the for
ject nations" and they would consider 1t
a disgrace to ask our Minister 10 dinner,
and / venture that Colonel DENLY has

high class Chinese officials. This, know,
will seem strange to Americans. but it is
actually the truth.
! Picking is a most cosmopolitan city. We
have in America only the Chinese of South
| China. These come from the hot countries
at the southern part of the empire, and
| they are small and lean in comparison
with the people of the north. They dress
differently, and they have a different dia-
lect and different habits and customs.

me at first entrance were the no

on great camels or dromedaries. which
were covered with wool from six to twelve
inches long. These come from the cold
regions of Mongolia or Siberia, and during
my visit TO the Chinese wall passed cara
vans of these camels marching in single
| file and fastened together with sticks
thrust through the thick flesh of their
noses. They were loaded with great bun
dies of furs, which they had brought down
! from the north for the dilettante manda-
rims of Peking, and were carrying back
brick, tea and coal to thel Tartars and
Russians. Many of these were ridden by

cases by men, who were clad in sheepski ns

rounded by eunuchs. He is perhaps the
rarest bird in the whole Chinese avary,
and l will follow this with special letter
describing some nf his antics. He is kept
apart from Chinese and foreigners and you
might live in Picking fifty years and not
see him. He really knows nothing about
his people or his surroundings, and he is a
sort of a puppet who stands still or dances
when his highest officials or the old En-
press Dowager pulls at the string.
No better idea of the condition of the

by trip through this Tartar city. 1t is

was founded more than thousand years
