All day tomorrow free samplespack-

said: people are naturally skeptical

Hotel and restaurant keepers Will
frankly tell you that the gastronomic
capacity Of man cannot be guaged
by his size George Josephs, of this
city, is a man of small size. He only
weighs LOG pounds In his stocking feet.
On Sunday, the Wayfarer learns, he
went to Philadelphia on the train, TAX
ing tandem wheel with him so that he
and cycling friend could enjoy them
selves by riding over the city and
through the parks.
AT noon MIR. Josephs became hungry
and stopped at a restaurant in the
Geological Garden for a light lunch.
According TO his statement his repast
consisted of four large pieces OF
chicken, four large pieces OF beefsteak'
a dish of peas, dish of beans, three
white potatoes, two sweet potatoes, five
pieces OF bread, and one pNte OF ice
cream. Then he loosened up his belt
and felt better.
NOTES TAKEN IN SHANGHAI.
Through the kindness Of a friend the
Wayfarer is enabled to take these eX-
tracts from a letter which he recently
received from a relative in Shanghai;
I'VE arrived here about ten days ago
after a very fine and pleasant passage
for this time of the year, which Is the
worst time you can come to the East
Indies,as II Is nothing but continuous
gale OF wind for the three Summer
months around this part OF the world;

weather OF It. Shanghai Is not much
of a place In my estimation, although
there are one or two very good features
about Il. They have fine geological
and botanical gardens about four OF
I've miles out OF town, just nice ride
II costs you four or five cents to ge'
there. That Is not much, is il, consid
ering you can have your carriage all e
yourself II is just like some style o
baby carriage and you have full
nedged Chlnaman, with his pigtail, (
drag you about II is astonishing how
they can stand It, A man can hire tn
whole outfit for so cents a day, and cal

is It? They can get over the ground
too in spite Of the fact that 1t is no

also a sort OF garden park here wher
the band plays two or three nights

for the visitor who has not time to es
tablish close personal relations an
friendships are iced drinks and gam
at billiards. We leave here for Tan
gean Proik, or better known as Bata
via in Java, and from there to Suez.
