Sampans are the special beauty spots
of the harbor. They are the odd little
boats that take the place of rowboats

and are propelled in a most peculiar
manner. Instead of oars or paddles, .
single long wooden blade Is employed
at the stern to push the fiat vessel
along at lively gait BY a swinging
wrist and swaying body motion the
boatman produces an action in the
water like that of the tail OF fish
or the blades of a propeller. 1t was
not necessary for the Sumner to drop
her launch into the water during the
three days we were in Nagasaki.
Swarms of the little sampans sur
rounded the ship at all hours. all anx-
ious to carry the visitors ashore at Ave
cents a head. The peculiar propulsion
gives the boat jerky motion. not at
all unpleasant, that reminds one OF q
ride in Coney Island in whirligig. A
good illustration is shown in the Nip

pan.

II il related with every evidence OF
truthfulness that . certain lady In
Philadelphia, who died at the age OF
ninety, never allowed her husband TO
kiss her. The reason for her. strange
behavior was the fact that when she
was q girl in her teens. and ON . visit
to England. the Prince Regent had
been gracior,sly pleased to print on her
red ripe lips an csculatory salute.
From that day she vowed to prsserve
inviolate tie mouth that the "First
Gentleman In Europe had thus honor
I'd. She kept her vow reiigtousiy.
and although she married and lived
With her husband for years she never
allowed him to kiss her lips. His pie
beian touch was not allowed to profane
that which had been rendered sacred
by the embrace Of royalty.
A certain member Of congress when
oourting his present wife. was detect

his pretty cousin. of whom his hance
was inordinately jealous- A violent
scene was the result For long time
the outraged lady refused her forgive

tinct understanding that those lips
which had touched that thing were
