Their Wares So Tame That They Like to
lie Handled.


In Canton the f;shmonger's is q most
important trade. Tho Chinaman is
born fisherman. He also has for ages
past cultivated system Of artificial
breeding and rearing of 1.-Two fish for the
market. In tho shops were displayed
live and dead fish. fish fresh and salted,
smoked and preserved. One variety was
like whitebait. in baskets, graded from
tiny things not half an inch long to
what appeared to be the same fish grown
s or inches in length. These were sold
fresh salted and smoked. Shark fins arc
q delicacy. There were fish mottled and
barred, bright and dull, fish of quaint
and to Us unknown shapes, but fore.
most, above all, and everywhere to be
seen, were sac artifcially grown live
fish.
A wonderful creature was this, al
ways appearing to suffer from heat,
gasping at the surface of the water for
breath and recalling verdant Green's
fish that wero beginning to sweat and
complain. They were as tame as domes-
tic animals, seemingly careless OF being
knocked about, thrown from ponds into
boats, from boats into tubs, from tubs
into buckets and then back into tubs
again. They were used to being handled
and inspected, and If disapproved put
back into the water to be sold, alive il
bought whole, or -cut to pieces while
living and sold in bleeding chunks. A
thick, short fish is this, Of the mullet
shape. averaging about 10 inches in
length and weighing about 8 pounds
but sometimes longer, and running mp
in weight to as much as or even 8
pounds.
When cut up. they bleed like pigs.
and to show how freshly they are killed
tho salesman is in the habit Of slicing q
live one into pieces, and with the blood
smearirg all the pieces for sale, so that
they look rcelling and horrible to Eu-
ropean eyes. To keep them alive in the
shops they are always placed in large
tub with q smaller vessel fixed above it.
From tho bottnm Of the upper vessel q
bamboo, with one or two saw cuts in it,
sticks out, and from those cuts streams
OF water flow in thin cascades into the
tub beneath. Every now cad then, when
the upper vessel becomes empty, the ish
all rise to the surface, and glop, glop,
glopl take down both Dir and water
Then an attendant, attracted by the
noise, plnnges bucket down among
them. and from the water in which they
swim fills the upper vessel full again. =.
