Communication and Civilization

There Is an old saying that the snail,
never having been out Of it's shell,
thinks it the grandest place in the
world; never having come in contact
with other creatures, feels that it's mar.
row horizon bounds all that Is known
Of joy and sorrow, and thinks that the
world ceases just beyond its she'll and
never stops to inquire whether this 10
true or not; II simply lies in the dust
in sluggish satisfaction.
Looking around among mankind to-
day, ever in this advanced age Of civil.
izatiOn, We find individuals, yes oven
whole nations, dragging away life In
darkness and misery, ignorance and
~depravity, because they do not mingle
with other people and other nations.
Let us look for a moment 1.-THE empire
Of China, so like the snail in every re-
! spect, so wrapped up in herself and
ancestors that there Is no room for
present improvement and no regard
for Il better civilization. His Great
Wall is the limit of all worth to the
Chinaman. He has no intercourse
with other nations, no communication
with the rest OF the world, no desire
for a better grade Of civilization than
that which his ancestors possessed
centuries ago; consequently China has
had less influence in the world than
any other country while she might
have had the most. by consulting
ancient history Of that country we find
that the Chinese were the real inven.
tors OF gunpowder, porcelain, printing
and many other important necessities.
Lack Of communication deprived
China Of the fame Of so useful and SO
important inventions, and centuries
afterward Europe received the glory
Who is able to comprehend the great
changes which would take place in
China If she should engage more ex

The ferryboats impress me in that way
now whenever ! see one. And this was
brought about simply by seeing one OF
them out of its accustomed waters
amid strange scenes and put 90 strange
uses.
This was in the fall Of 1861. in Hamp-
ton Roads. The regiment that l served
in was aboard a transport there. wait

There are great many kinds OF

would be difficult to say just what is the
attitude of all of them"
Say, the commercial attitude"
There is undoubtedly great deal OF
feeling among the business men OF
England because OF the restrictions
which our laws have put on their trade
England is our best customer, yet the
Dingley law seems to seek to put the
greatest obstacles in the way of Eng
lands paying us for our goods in the
things she produces. Then the disa-
greement about the time when that law
went into effect. which l believe is still
in the courts, may make a considerable
difference in the duty to be paid by
Engiishmen on large quantities of goods
which had passed out OF their owners
hands before the law was passed How
great the feeling over that may be

There is a code OF honor among the

sional panhaneler and dope man. What
is a dope man? Why. mug that gets
hold of drunls~p men and puts knock
out drops into their iiqGor. He sleeps
all day and goes out 10 business in the

The old habitue led the way into a
large dormitory where the beds were all

what they called the alcoholic ward" Z"
Into these beds men who came in drunk
were always bestowed. and there was
always a special watchman 10 guard
them from robbery.
'Oh. things are run pretty straight In
these lodging houses on the whole" re-
marked the old babitue. in conclusion,
as he thankfully accepted a dime from
the inquiring stranger.
A tall man, with a sunburned face.
