HISTORIC TOWER OF CANTON

ers Seven Acres.

Is Eight Stories High and Base Cow
ers Seven Acres.
Canton has been called the city of
pagodas,' since so many are to be seen
of various sizes, but perhaps the most
remarkable one is that located on the
Island of Honam. Its tower alone is
composed of eight tiers or stories, and
rests upon a foundation which covers
no less than seven acres of the island.
Although the exterior walls of the
base are worn and dilapidated by time
and the elements, the tower points
far heavenward, terminating in a
point, or minaret, which is the admira-
ton of the artist, but every feature of
the tower is artistic, even to the
gracefully curved cornices which mark
each story. Chinese legends have it
that this structure is fully 1000 years
old and engineers who have examined
it are of the same opinion, yet the
tower is composed almost entirely Of
brick and tile and is apparently as
solid to-day as the year it was built

In the congregation of clerical

troubled him greatly by the habit they
had acquired of snatching little re-

tor spoke after this wise to one OF the
wandering sheep:
Brother Park, did you ever notice
that Brother Benjamin had fallen into
the habit of sleeping during service"
Brother Park had not noticed 1t, but
he was panied at the information

him next Sabbath and nudge him in
case he falls asleep?"
Brother Park would most certainly
do So
The clerical brother then sought
his esteemed co-worker in the vine
yard, Brother Benjamin.
Brother BENJAMIN, have you no
ticed Brother Parks habit of sleeping
during the sermon?"
Brother Benjamin had noticed it
and had been panied.

sitting beside Brother Park next Sun
day and nudging him in the case O
