A queer mixture Of contradictions IS
The town of Macao, lao miles from Can
ton. It is the sinkhole Of hat part
Of China; in fact, probably the tough
est community in that section Of the
Orient which borders on the China sea.
Yet 1t is one of the principal homes
Of the reformer element in China. It
Is the refuge Of pirates, yet in the lat
ter part Of the sixteenth century it was
granted to the Portuguese by the En-
peror Of China for the help given by
the foreigner in suppressing piracy.
The town Is built on a peninsula OF
the island of the same name at the
mouth Of the Canton river. and is in
the Province Of Kwangtung. This PEN
Ursula, which rises to a considerable
height, is Joined to the rest Of the is
land by a narrow, l%ow-lying, sandy
isthmus two and a half miles long, and
ncloses an almost l%and-locked har-

ing fair weather no sight could be
more picturesque than the mirror
like surface Of the harbor, reflect ng
with absolute fidelity the hundreds Of
junks, of all colors and shapes, with
their fantastic sails and quaint hulls.
For all the trade Of the place is car
ried on by means of these native YES
sells. The most important section Of
this trade consists in the smuggling Of
rice, tea, silk, sugar and indigo. In
fact, Macao without smuggling would
wither up as a tree shorn Of its roots.

Dor, like some South European la
COON. The town lies on the sides Of
the promontory, slipping down amid
luxuriant foliage to the waters edge,
and forcibly reminding one, with its
tinted, balconied houses, its still, blue
bay, its ~cloudless sky and its brilliant
atmosphere, of Monte Carlo or some
other seaside resort OF the RiVieral the
resemblance to the great resort of the
gambler being intensified by an enor-
nous casino-like building overhang-
ing the water, surrounded by exquisite
tropical gardens, in which stands the
"grotto" where, in 1853, Camosns wrote
his "Lusiad."
The town is divided into two DIS

No queen could have been the recip-
lent of more sincere homage than was
paid recently to Miss Mabel Langshaw
OF Cleveland, who works IN a store.
Men bent and crippled with disease
and age passed by her with their gray
hair uncovered, and many Of them kiss
ed her hands while with tears In their
eyes they thanked her for a happy day.
The men were twelve Of the aged in
mates Of the city inhrmary to whom
Miss Langshaw had given a day IN the
public park, n dinner ea0 a long ride In
the street cars.
Miss Langshaw formed the plan of
giving the old men IN the poor house
a picnic and worked out the project al
most alone, She asked the street car
companies to help and they placed two
large trolley cars at her disposal.
Among her friends she started sub
scriptions and raised the money needed
for the dinner at the park and more
than enough was contributed. Mrs. @.
II. Morgan and the Rev. w. w. Snin
addressed the old men after dinner,
and a number of children gave the
aged p%icnickers |button-hole boquCts
and recited and sang to them.

There was an accident on a Broad
way street car at New York the other
day that ought to be thoroughly adj
vertlsed, because It is liable to happen
on any street ear i'm any city at any
hour. 1t was an open car, with seats
running crOsswise. A young man who
had been smoking a cigarette flung the
stub under the seat before him. The
wind and the jarring carried the stub
along until il reached the cotton skirts
of a lady who occupied the next seat
and set them afre. People smelled the
peculiar OdOr of burning cotton, but
paid no attention TO IL until this lady
arose TO get of the car. Then the
smoidering blaze burst out, and she
was badly burned before it could be
extinguished. The man who threw
away the cigarette had the moral cour-
age TO confess his fault, and took all
the blame upon his own shoulders. He
accompanied the lady to the nearest
drug store, where her burns were
dressed, then sent her home in a Gao.
