THOUSANDS DROWNED.

China Is vi~.ted by the Most Disastrous
Floods for Many Years.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 6.-The steamer
Victoria brings news of the most dis.
astrous floods that have visited China
for many years. Sixty villages near
Tung Chou, containing over SOC, 1000 in
habitants, have been destroyed by
floods and the people drowned or forced
to flee. There is no means of learning
how many thousands have been
drowned, but the number is estimated
by Chinese authorities at from 5000 to
10000.
The flooded district Is within IL miles
Of Pekin, the capital of China. AS a
rule Chinese officials make very little
stir when a calamity like this happens,
but the proximity of the disaster has
resulted in its being brought to the at
tention of the emperor, who has or.
dered that all possible relief be given.
Thousands in Distress.
Survivors from the villages nearest
Pekin have been allowed such shelter
as they al ind on the city walls, but
thousands are without protection
against the rain, which continues to
fall. The distress Of these people is
most pitiable. Public spirited and
wealthy men of Pekin and Tung Chou
are actively assisting the authorities in
providing them with food.
The foods have greatly damaged q
large number Of estates belonging to
Pekin mobiles. The unusual rains began
July 70 and continued until Aug. Is.
The crops in the flooded district were
destroyed. The projects, local mag.
istrates and people Of the flooded dis.
tricts prayed for the cessation of the
rain for seven days before they were
finally driven out Of their homes.

BURMESE GIRLS.
Gossiping and Flirting as They FIJI
Their Jars at the Well.

Gossiping and Flirting They Fill
Their Jars at the Well.
In every household the daughter has
her appointed work. In all but the richest
merchants houses the daughters duty is
to bring the water from the we'll evening
and morning, says Blackwood's Magazine
1t is the gossiping place of the village
this well, and as the sun sets there come
running down all the girls of the village
As they fill their jars they lean over the
curb and talk, and it is here that are told
the latest news, the latest Irritation, the
latest marriage, the little scandal of the
place. Very few men come. Water
carrying is not their duty, and there is a
proper time and place for filtration. So
the girls have the well almost to them
selves.
Almost every girl will weave. In every
house there will be loom, where tho girls
weave their dresses and those of their
parents And very many girls will have
stalls in the bazaar. Other duties are the
husking of the rice and the making of
cheroots. OF course, in the richer house
