ranged around an antique fireplace. A
fire was laid here ready 10 be lighted

On the walls were some simple verses,

After we had quite explored the place and
rested, we strolled back to the cars by the
river road. There were two boats lying in
the canal, and l thought as looked at the
old tubs that no one would go among people

take peep at them. How human beings
can live i'll them do not understand. They
are terrible places; cramped, dirty, dark

bridge, i'll front of which some children
were pla ying marbles, and | asked them
about the chapel up the canal.

The-Chnese farmer should ga upon record
as one of expedients in the slrlctest sense
of the term. He is even greater in this re-
spectethan his American brother of the
wind-swept unduating potato patch. al
tiiodgh the American agriculturalist is not
entirely blind TO the financial possibilities

But he is not on a professional level with
the Chinese tiller of the soil. He knows the
art OF making durable gate hinges of boot
legs, whose feet have outlasted their useful
ness, and razor strops OF the lone, Soit ary
suspender, whose brother long since van
iShed to the misty realm of elsewhere.
But with all his subtle skill he lacks the
scientific method which characterizes the
meter of the Chinese thwacker OF evirgiu
soil. For IL is stated upon authority which
cannot be assailed that the Chinese
farmer has discovered a method by which
fishes may be hatched through the rcdium
OF an ordinary every day hen. 1t will prob

1t is supposed that the hen would be filled

that fishes can be hatched in a dry, dusty
hen house. but such is the fact.
