Grades OF Piracy.
There are different grades of piracy,
as of every other crime. As in rob
berry you have ut one extreme the high
wayman and the bank burglar. and at
the other the miserable sneak thief,
80 in piracy you have two widely sep
arate types in the freebooter who takes
his own life in his hand TO win the
prize and the proving night boat pi-
rate who steals children from the river
bank and the sea coast.
Slavery exists I'm China to-day as IL
has done from the beginning of history.
Children have their regular market
price, which varies according to the
prosperity or adversely Of the times.
In general. n small boy. below the age
of ten will bring from 81 to SO. while
a little girl of the same age will COM
mand from SO to 800. In warm eli
mates little folks do much of their
playing after the sun has gone down
and the intense heat Of the day is over.
Then is the time for the pirate child
stealer. The trade fourishes chiefly
on the larger streams and rivers where
the children are stolen. and in the great
cities, where they are sold.
The fate of these poor little captives
is not so bad as might be supposed.
Most Of the boys are bought for adop-
ton by Chinese families who have no
son, and who. in adopting them give
them all the rights which a natural son
would have. Others are sold rs man
servants, who, in the main, are very
well treated
The female children do not have as
happy lot. One-thir,l are sold TO be-
come ladies' maids and house slaves.
one-third TO be brought up as concu-
bines. and one-third for the most inn
moral purposes. There is hardly an
abandoned woman in all OF China but
what owns one or more Of these so
called pocket daughters.

The penalty for child-stealing is de-
capitation, but II is very seldom inflict-

the first pyramid was built, and still

pirates in his home and native lair
and have heard wierd tales of piracy
from the lips Of pirates themselves.
At least that is what they made when
the translator had done with them, says
n writer in the New York Herald. For
instance:
In the good old days, when a pirate
had achieved a certain amount of sue
cess he could come back to his own
country and after a little negotiation
could be welcomed by the officials and
mobiles who before had set price upon
his head. Nor has the practice died
out In 1860 a young man in South
China by the name of Ii Yu, who was
noted for his gigantic strength and fe-
rOciOus courage, started out on the Ca
reer of crime. He was thief, burglar
highwayman, murderer and pirate.
name and fame spread far and wide
until the Chinese government offered
princely ransom for his capture living
or dead.
He defied the officers Of the law and
organized a band of men of the same
type and nature as himself. They
adopted the old pirate banner the
black flag" and under the name of
BLACK Flag" became famous or infa-

More than one hundred families Of
high distinction in China derive their
title and their sicial and political posi-

examples as these form the staple sub

that piracy is one of the best callings
in which to attain fame, fortune, and
imperial favor.

people proper, who speak the Amb0y
