The aquatic life of Canton is thing
almost entirely apart from that of the
city. Tho inhabitants, jewellers in the
majority Of those eyer.shifting homes
which 20 TO make huge city on the
water, are people ruled by different
instincts and customs from their fellows
on land. Some of them live in construc-
tioas like house boats, which are prac-
tically fixture at enc anchorage in the
river, but the greater number Of the
boats know no continued abiding place.
The commonest type of beat is that
locally known as a "sampaD"; in reality,
| believe this is the native word for boat.
In this craft there was usually in the
centre q sort OF we'll. with seats around
it, all else being decked over. Above
the well was semicircular frame of
bamboo covered with rattan mating.
The boats varied greatly in size and
accommodation; about twenty feet long,
with beam Of about four feet, was per-
haps an average size.
Whole families live entirely upon one
of these boats. They are born, grow up,
live oftlmes to old age, and die there.
In such cases the crews are Of all sizes
and both sexes, even children two
years old lending hand in managing
the boats; but frequently all the WORKING
crew are women
| Occasionally l noticed on the boats
| small male children with blocks of wood
tied to them. asked an old resident
| of the city what this meant, and he told
me it wasin order that if the boys fell into
thewater they might be kept from drown
| ing until they were fished out. Girls were
| not cared for with this consideration; for
| if they fell in and were drowned, it was
not considered family calamity. lie

about your house" "Ah yes" the
Chinaman would reply, "but tue Others

That Is What .'Golonel" Ainscow Calls
His Favorite Cactus Plant.

His Favorite Cactus Plant.
There is high towering cactus plant
standing just inside the entrance to
Ainscows restaurant, at No. S02 Market
street, which is creating deal of inter-
est. People who are accustomed to tre-
quent the restaurant may take no notice
of it further than to pass a remark
about the huge plant and then so about
their business. But with the stranger,
the case is different. He examines it,
admires 1t and then his curiosity is
aroused. lie wants to know all about it.
If the genial Colonel" who caters to
the caprice of Wilmington epicures,
happens to hear remark about the
cactus plant, he wakes philosophical.
The inquirer has touched tender spot
in the "celonels' anatomy, and he i'm
mediately proceeds to tell all about the
cactus plant.
"That," says the colonel and his
head at once assumes an altitude as
lofty as the cactus itself, that, sir, is
the tree of life. All those leaves you
see hanging to the branches are human
forms-they are men all climbing
towards the top. Some, you see, die
before they get half way to the goal they
are seeking. Others, more successful,
overcome the obstacles strewn in their
way and get to the topmost branches,
In other words, they climb to the top of
the tree Of life. You sec those yellow,
withered leaves, hanging their heads
near the bottom of the cactus? Well
they are men with little or no ambition;
they are falling by the wayside. They
| will never get to the top.
"The prickles which you see en-.
cfrcling the base Of the tree are the
"thorns and thistles" which every one
is compelled to overcome before reach.
ing the top. Yes, that is the tree OF life
and it is the summit that Il man mus
reach nowadays"
