nor, is English to the core and has the
aspect of great European city. while
within 100 miles lies Canton. the
typical Chinese city, a fostering hole
of horrors, where the foreign lega-
tions, with that discretion which is
the better part of valor, reside in the
French Concession, guarded day
and night by armed soldiers.
The streets of Canton are SO mar
row that two sedan chairs can barely
pass by closely hugging the walls, and
the air is filled with foul doors, while
Hong-Kong can boast of fine Euro
pean buildings and clearly streets In
Canton it is not unusual to come upon
pile Of human bodies that have been
beheaded lying in the street waiting
to be carted away by the scavengers.
Perhaps the street urchins are seen
playing with one of the severed heads.
The flesh of eats and dogs can be util-
lied as food but the body of an exc
outed criminal is only carrion.
Besides beheading there are many
ways OF slow torture. and SO callous
are these creatures TO the sufferines
eli others that vast crowds collect to
watch the public punishment of crime
In beheading no block or resting place
for the head is used. The neck is
stretched to its utmost by an assist
ant. and the eXecudoner with one
blow sewers the head from the body.
Over the threshold or in the vesti-
bule of every house hangs a tiny lamp
that is never permitted to go out This
is a shrine TO the gods and to the de-
parted spirits of ancestors, and is
looked upon as a safeguard against
all evil spells.
Labor needs no protective union
here, as the immutable laws of the
land make ii a crime to rob labor of
its rights by employing a beast for
any work a man can do. This is why
the sedan chair remains the universal
mode of travel It shocks the civil
lied stranger to find perhaps the
shoulder of one of his hired coolies
IN the same sad condition as the back
OF many a horse in this country,
Charity bids him call another eoolie.
but the attempt to do so causes i'm
mediate trouble. There exists no So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
coolies.

The president of one of the we'll
known colleges tells this story of one
of his professors of chemistry.
It seems that the professor and his
wife had not agreed upon some domes-
tic question, the professor asserting that
his means would not warrant the ex,
pense involved. His wife had used all
her powers of persuasion without avail
and at last resorted to the final feminine
expedient-a flood of tears. At this
the professor picked up his hat, but
paused to remark:
''You might save yourself the trouble
