Railroads in China.

RAILROADS. In Shlna.
A missionary writing from China to
friend recently described the Difficult
ties under which the newly completed
railroads are conducted in that coun-
try.
Passengers in the first-class coaches,
he said, exhibited so strong a desire to
carry off various articles from the cars
as souvenirs Of their trip that the
coaches were speedily stripped Of those
things that contribute to the comfort
Of the passenger. They took away
with them hat and bundle racks mir
rors, lamp brackets, hooks, small ta-
bles, and even doors. They were con-
siderate enough to leave the car frame
and wheels. And the purloiners were
Government officials and people be-
longing to the wealthy classes.
The stations along the railroad over
which the writer travelled were rude
sheds, very unclean and without
chair or bench. The cars, too, were
very dirty. While this was especially
true Of the second-class coaches, which
were often-times crowded with half
naked, washed people, the first
class coaches also became very unclean
in short time. 1t soon became ne
cessary to take out all the upholstery
and replace 1t by plain seats.
When the railroads were being built
reports were spread that the foreign
contractors we're stealing Chinese chill
dren and burying them IN the roadbed
so as to propitiate the god who rules
over railroads. These reports greatly
excited the people, and in one instance
a mob attacked two missionaries, near
Peking and would have killed them
had not a detachment Of soldiers res
cued them. Under suise of these re-
ports children were really kidnapped
and taken into the cities for immoral
purposes.
