A member Of the English parliament,

in Century, describes life and street
scenes in Canton. Mr. O'Driscoll says
The food purveyors made most
striking display; the fruitcrcrs exposed
on fiat trays bananas, pincapples, mel

the sight but hard and tastclcss), to-
gcthcr with many Chinese fruits whose
shapes and tastes were familiar to me,
but whose names ] knew not. Some
Of these fruits were most artiStically
peeled, pincapplc-peeling being quite
an art. "A great variety of vegetables
was offered for sale. Among them
were the white shoots Of the bamboo,

not this wonderful grass be put? From it

they picked ginger roots out Of the

pierced them all over very rapidly with
both forks until quite soft. The pierced
roots were then put into another tub,
where they were boiled in sirup. The
ginger went through various other mi.
nor processes, until eventually il was
packed in the earthenvare lars in

The whole process was certainly a clean

did, and the men frightened up little
while waiting TO hear the new piece.
Many expressions Of disgust ut hearing
funeral dirgc on such an occasion
were hurled ut the owner. Everyone
had about resumed his original atti-
tude when the piano was given another
trial This time it was "Lohengrin,
and while tho piece was q little bright

clared it had been played at his grand
fathers funeral or sisters wedding, he
forgot which. This piece was taken
out and q third tried, but IL was an ar
rangement Of the national hymns with
variations, and was just as solemn
The piano was closed for the night and
in the morning the proprietor rushed
TO find some more suitable pieces. Now
the piano plays ''Thc Bogie Man."

came near wrecking the saloon the
first night. If IL had been Mcycrbccr

would have carried The r'rsic through.

A certain saloon, wishing TO please

electric piano, says the INDIANAPOLIS
Sentinel. These pianos are very FUNNY
TO watch, for they start up tune ana

bitter end without anyone near them.
To person who does not understand
the motive power, the thing appears
uncanny; and the boys prepared to
have lots Of fun. The saloon was full
OF patrons when somebody slyly turned
on the current and the piano started.
Out came the solemn, majestic strains
OF "Tannhauser." A man who was
drinking at the bar set down his glass

however, anG Tne-awaKening was most
cruel, for, as he sat under the awning Of
q friendly restaurant, rapturOuslY sip
ping sauterne and settlers and gazing
with dreamy eyes beaming with love
and pride at his wheel, which leaned
gracefully against a tree in front Of
him, a premonitien seized him. What
was missing? And with cry he sprang
to his feet 1t was the cape. An instan-
taneous change passed over Renne's
world; the wine soured; a sharp wind
arose which ruffied his hair and temper
every old crack and blister showed out
plainly on the vanished parts Of his
bicycle, and even the rubber tire looked
miserable, notchy and worn.
Renne's heart turned sick as he sat
lost in detected reflection. All the en-
ergy and strength of mind which he
brought so eourageously into play while
earning his daily bread seemed to melt
away and disappear before the disas-
trous loss of the cape. As he sat with
his head buried in his hands he pictured
his return and reception by Nine.
Renne. 1t would not take her half
second to discover his misfortune, he
thought, and well he knew what scenes
would ensue-tears, lamentations, re-
proaches, sulks and outbursts of rage,
in which the little vixen fairly reveled
in her moments of uncontrolled fury.
Gracious heavens! Seized with chill,
he hurriedly paid his bill at the restau-
rant, and, jumping on his poor old bicy-
Gle, which had beaten the record COM
ing, he started homeward. One wagon
passed him after the other-frst butch
er's cart, next an old fat woman driv-
ing donkey, then gypsy wagon, with
an impudent, long haired rascal who
stared mockingly but uneasily after
him. Renne felt very much inclined to
question him about his cape, but feel
ing of reticence withheld him, for he
strongly suspected that the man had
found it, and that it lay hidden some-
where under the lot of quarreling, cry
ing rats which filled the wagon back
of him; so he pedaled on hopefully, be-
lieving that he might yet find it ON the
road just where it had fallen. And as he
watched and thought it over his temper
rose scathing and sarcastic. A cloak,
forsooth, with a summer sun shining
overhead. 1t was hot enough to boil
eggs. Oh, to the devil with the thing!
He hoped that it was lost forever. What
did he care? But suddenly the mocking
look in the tramp's eyes came back to
him. OF course the fellow had found
and taken his cape. Renne felt sure of
it now. What could he do about it,
though-follow him and search his wag-
on? Suppose, after all, the man had never
seen it-how like fool he would look!
And SO, little by little, his anger sub
sided, and the ridiculous side of the af-
fair presented itself to his mind so forci-
bly, that he felt like screaming with
laughter. His wife appeared before him
in different light altogether. She was
no longer being to be dreaded, but to
be ridiculed, and he pondered slowly
over summary vengeance to be admin
istered- upon the tormentor who had

John R. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
SO cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers: :
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

Hemmed In by Flames.

One of the most remarkable incidents
connected with the telegraph business was
the burning of two operators at Mime
apolis Nov. 80, 1889. 1t was when The
Tribune building burned down. The AS
sociated Press rooms were in The Tribune
building There were a number of per-
sons burned In the building, and among
them J. Igoe, the press operator, and p
Miles of jackson.
The interesting thing about it all was
that the operators all along the line from
Minneapolis to New York city almost wit
messed the death of their companions.
Mr.. Pearce, who was taking the Asso-
ciated Press at the time, remembers the
circumstance WE'LL
at was about 10 O'Clock at night, as 1
remember, he said, land as it was Satur-
day night we were crowded. Igoe was a
good operator, and seldom broke connec-
tion. But he stopped us this night, say
ing that there was fire, and he thought
he would go to see what it amounted to.
He came back presently, saying that he
guessed it did not amount to anything,
and he would go ahead. We went along a
few minutes, when he broke in again.

"Then we did not hear anything for
quite awhile. We supposed that he would
go directly over to the Western Union
office. When we did not hear from him
again, we began calling up. He had left
the key open, and we called him up re-
peatedly, and there was no answer. BY
that time we began to think that the fire
was something serious. We waited lit
tie longer and then we called up the
Western Union, and from them we learned
that The Tribune building was on fire
We still waited for him, but as he did not
come the conviction began to grow upon
us that he had been killed. A little later
we learned that he was among the dead
He had tried to make his escape from the
building by hanging on to a wire stretched
across the alley from the building. As ht
felt himself unable to hold to the wire, hi
called to the bystanders what disposition
he wished to make of his family. Miles
was burned in the building. "-Detroi1
