Odd Sights Seen in the DlrtIest City
In the World

In the World.
An American In the orient writes:
iPekin is said to be the filthiest city
IN the world-and II Is The streets,
which apparently have never been re-
paired. fairly swarm with human and
animal life; caravans of stately
damels from Mongolia and Tibet; the
Pekinese cart-a creation of It's own,
with no springs, but drawn by sleek
mules in gayly caparisoned harness
With outriders in mushroom hats and
red piumes, the mafoo running along
side or mounted on small donkeys:
coolies without number bearing bur
dens on their heads or shoulders;
richly adorned sedan chairs bearing
some mandarian or high Chinese of
heial; the biggest Cinnamon riding
qhe smallest of donkeys with jingling
1ells; and through 1t all, underneath
and around, swarmed a mass OF
Chinese men, women and children;
the Manchu women In gorgeous APP
parel with their peculiar headdress,
ana with faces rough and powdered.
such sight cannot be seen in any
other country, nor In any other city
q combination of gorgeousness and
flth, magnifcenee and squalor, I'M
equaled and almost unbel evable." a=a
