The history Of the struggle between
canals Of small dimensions aud OF rail-
roads has been the samo in all countries.
The fight ragged bitterly for number of
years, tho canals acting ON the defen-

statos under whose patronage thoy were
built and operated. The result has beon
the same in all cases-the unconditional
surrender Of tho canals to the railroads.
This, however, is not so much tho fault
Of the system as Of their management.
The railroads have great advantages
over canals. They arc better able to
abridge distances both by reason Of supo-
rior speed and Of facilities for overcom-
ing elevations, spanning streams, free
from danger Of destructive floods, and
piercing through tho highest mountains,
but thoir great success is mainly duo to
the fact that they have kept pace with
the progress Of the world.

Dock at the Last Minute.
An interesting and sometimes ex-
citing phase OF New York life is
found in the effort Of a great many
people to leave it. If you care to
rise very carly in the morning for
studies of your kind, go down to the
pier of one of the great ocean liners
on sailing day. Seven o'clock is the
usual sailing hour, and o'clock in
the morning is a dreadfully early
hour for New York's wealthy pleas
ure seekers.
One Of the first things that strike
the notice of the old timer Of steam
boat days, especially the river man,
Is the promptness and regularity
which characterize the movements
of the elmer" Seven o'clock means
z o'clock. Exactly on the second the
deep voice of command echoes from
the bridge, the single remaining
gangplank is drawn in upon the pier,
the engineers bell iingles, and the
big screw begins to revolve. Within
the first minute the immense body
Of the ship swings clear of the dock.
Two minutes later she is slowly head
ing down stream bound for the open
sea, tug or two snorting and pull
ing at her gigantic nose to shorten
the turn.
The next curious fact to the on
locker is that somebody who is book
ed for that particular steamer comes
tearing down to the pier in a cab or
four wheeler piled with small lug
gage just in time to witness this last
evolution in the river. Sometimes
this unhappy individual is a woman
who has spent one minute too many
before her mirror in settling the
pitch Of q bonnet. Sometimes it is O
man who has probably fingered with
friends just one minute too long over
q parting glass, and sometimes both
man and woman come. And then,
oh, myl How they give it to each
other there in the carriagel In one
case it is a case of hysterics--in the
other a case of unprintable oaths.
And the whole crowd on the per, up
to that tune absorbed in floating
handkerchiefs and tears and waving
hats, suddenly discover that there is
still something left In New York
worth looking at and turn from the
departing ship 10 the belated traveller.
! have been down at the piers ON
sailing day several times, and these
two features have always attracted
my attention. ! do not say they arc
invariable, but / never saw a ship
lose half q minute Of her starting
time and have always seen some
body left at the last moment. There
are dozens and scores of passengers
who come down to the dock at the
last minute and scramble on in the
most undignifed manner. The slight
est accident to delay their car
riages, Lazy car ahead, block of
trucks or any one of the thousand
and one common things of such a
character would throw them out Of
the passage for which they had prob
ably paid and destroy their entire
/ programme of pleasure. They could
get there, of course, minutes orhours
before if they chose, but this is tho
only way to attract attention and is
deemed worth the risk. New York

CHINESE LAWS PECULIAR.
Flowery Kingdom IL Well Governed, But
Largely Self-Ruled.

FIowery Kingdom Is Well Governed, But
Largely self-Ruled.
"The home life of the Chinese" said
William Russell, of Shanghai, "appears
to be but little known outside the
limits of the Flowery kingdom. The
most powerful institution in China is
the family. The most remarkable at
tribute of the family is its ability to ex-
ercise judicial powers upon its men,
bers. Ifa Chinaman commits q minor
offense, the law as we term it, takes no
cognizance of the case. The family
takes upon itself the punishment of
the offender by fogging or imprison-
ment, and the compensation of the in
jured party. 1t is only in the graver
offenses, such as murder, that the cul-
prit is handed over to judicial authori-
ty.
"The ability of the Chinese family
to sustain its feudal prerogatives is
owing to its being part and parcel ofthe
land ITSELF There are no landlords in
China. The land is the property of
State, and the occupiers pay a small
tax to the former for the use of it.
This tax must be paid whether the land
is cultivated or not; no family, there
fore, makes itself liable for more land
than it can care for. The State
further reserves the right, where the
occupiers do no not do justice to their
holdings, to dispossess them and relet
it. This land tax ranges from - to
40 cents per acre and the average size
of each holding is nine acres. Apart
from this glebe, each family has the
inalienable right to two acres of land,
which is strictly entailed upon the
family, and furnishes the site of the
homestead. The members of the fam
lily who, in trying their luck in the
adjacent cities, fail to make success
have always the ancestral home to fall
back upon, and the accompanying
farm to work on and live by. A poor
law is unknown in China, and failure
is not to be found in the lexicon of
the laboring class. Another point
which younger nations might incorpor-
ate in their code is the respect paid to
the aged in China. The old people are
assigned the best rooms in the family
home, and are not in anyway looked
upon as worn out or undesirable rela-
tions. Such conditions have obtained
for hundreds of years and suggest the
thought that. wanting as the Chinese
have of late, been found in the fight
ing arena, as home rulers they can
give points to the remainder of the
universe.
