CHINESE CULTIVATE THE DRAMA.

The drama is poular all over China,
and when a religious celebration takes
place before the temple of god
theatrical performance usually follows.
The stage is erected in the street, and
in front of this the people gather and
listen for hours to the declarations
Of the actors, whose themes are usually
of a historical character. There arc
not many permanent theaters. Actors
and acrobats can be hired cheaply, and
at every dinner where strangers are in
vited theatrical performance is part
of the entertainment.-New York

IN THE FLOWERY KINGDOM.
Methods and Means by Which One
Travels.

Although the Chinese are at last
opening their eyes to the advantages
Of railways and are beginning to lay
down lines for themselves, and though
fine European and native steamers ply
backwards and forwards on the large
4, rivers, there are still immense tracts of
country where such conveniences are
quite unknown, the usual means of
conveyance consisting of carts. sedan
chairs, mule filters, native boats or even
the humble wheelbarrow says a
traveller returned from China.
Now, a Chinese cart is by no means
a bed of roses; it is guiltless of
springs and is so contrived that one
has to sit tailor fashion on the floor OF
it, for there are no seats, and if you un-
fortunately omit to take mattress and
plenty of cushions with which to
wedge yourself in, you will get terribly
bumped and bruised as the cart jolts
in and out of the immense ruts which
are a special feature of Chinese roads.
After time you feel so cramped that
you are glad to get out and walk a
little, or even to sit on the shafts for a
change.
The vehicle, which is provided with
a cover with or without a little win
dow at the side, is drawn by ponies or
very large mules, the latter being con-
sidered more valuable on account of
their superior size and strength
Sometimes mule filters are used, es-
pecially in the north of China, and
these are slung on poles and carried
by two mules, one in front and the
other behind. The swaying motion of
these conveyances is decidedly I'M
pleasant until one gets accustomed to
it, as the sensation is similar to that
OF being at sea on rough day. Less
disagreeable is the sedan chair, car
ried by coolies trained for the purpose.
They trot along smoothly and cheer
fully mile after mile, making a curious
sing song noise as they go. and seem
capable of standing an amount of ex~
posture and fatigue that would soon ex-
haust European.
