A POTTERY TOWN.

ChinEtechen Is Unlike Any Other
Place In China.
For at least 900 years the town
Chingtechen, in China, has been devot-
ed to the making Of pottery. Every
thing in Chingtechen belongs to the
porcelain and earthenware industry.
The houses are for the most part built
Of fragments either Of old kllns or Of
che fire clay covers In which the porce-
lain is stacked during firing. The riv-
er bank is for miles covered with a
deep stratum Of broken chinaware and
chips OF FIRE clay, and the greater part
Of the town and several square miles
Of the surrounding country are built
over or composed Of a similar deposit.
Chingtechen Is unlike anything else
In China. The forms, the color, the
materials used in the. buildings, the at
mosphere, are reminiscent Of the poorer
parts Of a civilized industrial center.
There are 104 large pottery kilns in
the town. The greater part are in use
only for q short season in the summer.
During this busy season the population
Of Chingtechen rises to about 100000
souls, but Of this total nearly half are
laborers drawn from a wide area OF
country, who come for the season, live
In rows of barracklike sheds and do
not bring their families with them.
Visitors to Chingtechen pass along
street after street where every shop is
occupied by men, women and children.
all engaged in the designing, molding,
painting or distributing Of pottery.
The river bank is crowded for three
miles by junks either landing material
and fuel or shipping the finished prod.
net.

A young girl who is always trying
some new thing was present once
when the doctor set a neighbours bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how it was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later a hen out
In the chicken yard broke its leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it land make 1t as good as
new" Accordingly it was put into a
plaster cast and left for the proper
length Of time to knit. When the day
came to take or the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse in great eagerneSs
to see the result. Presently there was
a scream that brought every member
Of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably over the ground
sidewise instead Of directly forward.
You know a hens leg has a crook.
Well, she had crooked it the wrong

prisedl Of two territories which in 1900
had combined population of 79O,391,
of whom 670,204 were whites, 64,445
Indians and 55,734 negroes. The popu.
latiOn Of the two amounted to 241, 155

cade increased at the. rate Of 227 per
cent in ten years. which would be
about equal to so per cent in five
years. "A continuation of that rate
would give a population of 1900, 600
On the other hand a continuation OF
the gain averaging 54,924 per annum
would give a present population of L.
120, 900, which is probably nearly the
correct figure. The. population last
year was estimated at 1850, 900. near

LOCKS At PANAMA.
Birmingham Age-Herald.

With a vigoT and suddenness that
has almost taken the breath away
from Mr.. Aldrich's Senate the House
has declared that not a cent of the
item of $25, 600, 900 in the sundrv civil
bin shall be spent on a sea level canal.
The vote was 10 yeas and SO nevs.
That together with President Roose-
velts threat to veto a sea level propo.
sition. settles the matter at once and
for all time.
The House in the last hours of the
session Is asserting itself, and the
Senate will simply have to acknowl.
edge that in the last round it has lost
its grip on affairs. 1t prefers a sea
level canal, but its wish has been
turned down by the House. which is
IN full rebellion and has its knife ont
There is no. room for compromise
The stand taken 10y the House cannot
be gumshOed away by Mr.. Allison or

A5drich. 1t is in the sundry civil bill
to stay, and the Senate NAV as we'll
get ready to swallow it. however bitter
1t may be. The pent-Up revolution in
the House against the Senate finds
vent in the Littaner resolution, and
the the House stands ready to spend
the rest Of its official life in washing
ton in order to defend it.
Fortunately for all and for the treas
ury the type Of canal is selected, and
there is nothing now to do at Panama
but to dig il. I should be completed
in 1912 or 1913 at the farthest, and
IL the government engineers know

The Pending

has passed the House and is now be.
fore the United States senate. In all
probability it wiH be passed. The Sa-
vsnnah News has the following to
say relative to the measure:
A bill designed to put a stop to the
vicious and outrageous practices Of
"Ehanghaiing" sailors at the ports is
pending in the United States Senate
IN charge OF Senator Martin Of Wiz.
ginia. II has already been passed by
the House. and the Senate Committee
on Commence has reported favOrably.
II Is in position, therefore, for early
action and the prospects are that Il
win be passed. Friends OF the meas
ure hope to secure its enactment at
the present session. There isn't any
doubt that the president will sign it
as soon as it reaches him. Speedy
action is desired so that the new law
may be in operation by the beginning
Of the next oyster season, in Septem-
Der.
The stories that were made public
during the past oyster season, and IN
deed for several seasons, respecting
the shanghaiing Of sailors for oyster
boats along the New Jersey coast and
As far south as Virginia, and the cruel
and inhuman treatment OF them after
they had been shipped against their
wills, were shocking in the extreme
According to these stories, not only
were men drugged, made drunk OF
otherwise incapacitated to defend
themselves. and then dragged aboard
boats, whene they were beaten and
half starved. but were flnRlly cheated
out Of their earnings. Indeed, more
than one cold blOoded murder was re
ported, committed upon the person of
an unwilling shanghaied man who had
dared attempt to make vigorous pro
test against outrage. Doubtless many
Of the stories were highly colored, but
unless there had been some basis Of
truth for them not 90 many Of them
would have been published.
The pending bin applies to shang-
haiing in general in this country and
not to any specific section OF trade.
Its provisions are drastic, providing
severe penalties and making Il easier
to secure convictions. The need of a
law Of the kind has frequently been
seen even in our own port. It hasn't
been many months since there was a
shsnghaiing case in the federal courts
here that attracted a good deal OF at
tentfon. The bill In Senator Martins
hands is a meritOriOUs one, and should
be promptly passed.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Punishments That Are Melted Out 60
British Sailors.


British Sailors.
For infraction OF regulations some
curious punishments are melted out in
the English navy. It is an everyday
occurrence, says London Tit-Bits, to
see half a dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing the paint work, holding
their hammOcks on their shoulders. At
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
er an hour or so 1t drags on ones shout
ders like lead. Besides, it is not at all
entertaining to stare f1xedly at square
foot OF painted woodwork for an hour
or more at a tine.
Another punishment that Jack de-
spises is battling with q spoon. He is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filed with water
and the other empty. With spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer it to the other, being.
meanwhile, the butt Of his comrades
jests and jeers.
Sometimes a delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck, nursing in his arms
six inch projectile, weighing a little
over 100 pounds. Once a sailor, who
laughed at the stammering speech Of
his commander, was made to stand up
on the forebridge, in full view of the
ships crew, and laugh for an hour and
a half
Splitting upon the deck Of a man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships, when a sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck, a small tub is strapped
to his chest, and he is made to wear it.
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

FINGER PRINT SYSTEM.
Adopted by United States Army as
Method of Identification.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-EVery man
who enlists in the United States
Army after September l, will have
the imprint of his finger marks placed
upon his record, together with his
photograph, according to the Bertil-
lon system, in order that his identity
may never be lost so long as he re-
mains in the service.
The finger-print system, which is
considered the best of all methods
of Identification, has been adopted,
even to the extent that the imprint
will be taken, when possible OF
soldiers found dead on the battle
field. With this imprint inclOSed in
vial and buried with the soldier it
is thought that in future wars there
need be no unknown dead" for the
identity of the soldier can be traced
/ by the finger print when all other
evidences is gone.

goldfinch Is passlOnately fond of apple
blossom. This may be because its ia
vorite building site is In the lichen
covered forks Of apple trees. but apart
from such attachment the bright little
finch frequently spends hours tearing
the petals into tiny fragments. Though
the nightingale never builds in the
thorn bOughs, II loves to sing on may
laden branches, often In the very midst
OF the fragrant blossoms. 1t is some
what peculiar that most birds avoid
the cow parsnip, owing, no doubt, to the
