BY RAIL TO THE GREAT WALL
OF CHINA.

The completion of a railway to the
foot of the Great Wall of China is Il
remarkable incident in the progress of
the world and striking example of
the irony of history. The wall, which
has been always a worlds wonder,
and which had its origin far back in
the centuries, was built to resist the
onward march of the "uncivilized"
hordes from the northwest. Now, not
only have the barbarians gone from
the four winds and made their influ-
ence felt in China, but bit by bit the
country is being won over to the great
est triumphs of the modern world.
The railway which connects Tientsin
with Shan is not only COM
pleted, but, as we learn from a Standard
telegram, the new Chinese minister
to London was able last week to travel
by it to the sea in very short time
and get steamer to Shanghai, sin
stead of having to remain the winter
in Tientsin, or be carried down by
chair nearly thousand miles over
land" The Iron horse has had
many triumphs, but few have been
more marvellous than this.

1t happened that an old Scotchman
was taking his grist to the mill in
sacks thrown across the back of his
horse, when the horse stumbled and
the grain fell to the ground. He had
not strength to raise it, being an aged
man; but he saw horseman riding
along, and thought he would ask him
for help. The horseman proved to
be nobleman who live in the castle
hard by, and the farmer could not
muster courage to ask "a favor of him.
But the nobleman was a gentleman
Also and not waiting to be asked, he
dismounted, and between them they
