The oldest son-Prince Christian,
now crown prince-is married to Prin-
cess Alexandra, the eldest daughter of
the Grand Duchess Anastasia Of Neck
lenburg Schwerin, and consequently
the sister of the crown princess of
Germany. The second son, Charles, who
9 little time ago became King Haakon
Of Norway, married Princess Maud Of
Wales; now queen Of Norway. The
two yo!inger sons, Harold and Gustav,
are still bachelors.
The four daughters are named
Louise, Thyra, Ingeborg and Dagmar.
The Princess Louise is married to d
prince Of Schaumburg- Lippe and re-
sides in Austria, and the Princess Inge-
borg is the wife Of Prince Carl, the
Duke of West Gothland, son of the
king Of Sweden. The two younger girls
are still unmarried, but they will I'M
doubtedly make good matches some
day, for in the much restricted royal
matrimonial market, the daughters of
Queen Louise are rated considerably
above par. In Sweden they call Prin-
cess Ingeborg the Sunbeam, because
of the sweetness and simplicity of her
character. Prince Christians wife is
equally popular in Denmark. That her

is impossible. In Peking there are
few wide streets leading from the
gates thru the city and on these a
peculiar heavy-wheeled springless cart
is used, but most of the streets are
more like alleys in which two rik-
ishas can hardly pass. We did not
see full-sized horse in the capital
city. Some ponies have been brought
down from Manchuria (Manchuria is
regarded as the personal property of
the imperial family and there is a
royal monopoly on ponies), but the
most popular saddle animal is the pa
tient donkey. It looks ludicrous to
see a fat Chinaman perched upon the
rump of one of these tiny beasts, but
there seems to be entire harmony be-
tween the two, and the donkey trudges
along with as little thought of change
as the ancient race whom he serves.
In Canton the streets are not wide
enough for the rikisha and both the
pony and the donkey are conspicuous
by their absence. The sedan chair,
borne by coolies, was the only convey
ance we saw in a days tour of the
city, and it required some engineering
to make any Roadway with it when
two parties met.

til recently been SO difficult of access
that comparatively few tourists have
visited it. The large ocean steamers
stop at Shanghai and Hongkong only,
making it necessary for one desiring
to visit Picking to take smaller boat
and risk indefinite delays on account
of wind and tide.
Since the completion Of the railroad
from Hankow to Picking it is possible
to accomplish the journey from
Shanghai to Picking in less time, and
in addition enjoy the advantage of a
trip inland. When the projected road
is completed from Hankow to Can
ton the tourist can land at Shanghai,
take river boat 600 miles up the
Yangtse-kiang to Hankow, then
by rail to Picking, about 800
miles north, then back thru Han
'kow to Canton nearly as far
south, from which point there are daily
boats to Hongkong. This trip, cover
ing nearly thousand miles Of river
travel and about $500 miles Of railroad
travel (not including the return trip
from Picking to Hankow) can be made
in the time formerly spent in travel
along the coast and furnishes an infn-
itely better opportunity for the study
of the country and the people. AS a
matter of precaution I ought to add
that Picking is so far north that before
the opening Of the railroad it was ex-
tremely difficult to visit it after the
1st of December, and even now it is
desirable that the trip should be made
before the middle Of November.
China is well watered; the largest
rives, the Yang-tse-k iang, which emp

Besides these, there are number
Of rivers Of less Importance and tribu-
taries Of these two large rivers which
only seem small by comparison.
AS if inspired by the numerous and
extensive natural waterways, the Chi
nese people centuries ago connected it's
great water systems by an immense
canal which, with the streams utilized
by it, gave water communication be-
tween Picking and Canton. This canal,
sometimes known as the Transit river,
is nearly twice as long as the Erie canal
and is not only the greatest work Of it's
kind in Asia, but at the time of it's con-
struction was the greatest in the world.

Before speaking Of the people, a
word should be said in regard to the
great wall. It extends from the
ocean westward along the northern
boundary Of China proper for a dis

what grand folks they were. Thru
out the long reign of King
Christian simplicity and unpretentious-
ness characterized the daily life of the
Danish court, and King Frederick and
Queen Louise will preserve its tradi-
lions in this respect intact. Early ris-
ing, early and plain meals and as few
state functions as possible will con-
tinue to be the rule. There are few
ceremonies equivalent to those which
obtain at the great courts of Europe
and presentations are made privately.
During the season-which is held in the
winter while parliament is sitting
there is a series of official dinners and
receptions given by the king, and gen.
orally a state ball, all held in one of
the four palaces of the Amalienborg
group.
These same palaces have, truth to
tell, not much the appearance of royal
residences; in fact they were formerly
the property of some Danish nobleman
but came into the possession of the
crown on account of the demolition by
fire of the old Christianborg palace.
But the Enthusiastically that of
the State palace-are very beautiful,
the decorations being ornate and artis-
tic and the appointments rare and
costly. The situation is good, on the
right of the Bredgade, which runs d.
rect to the Langelinie, the marine
promenade skirting the harbor. Here
Copenhagen society is wont to ride and
drive daily, and the various members
of the royal family mingle freely with
the throng.
There are other palaces-Frederiks-
borg, Rosenberg and Bernstoff-but the
last is the real home and the place
| where the greater part of the year is
spent Near to it are the residences of
other members of the royal family, for
| they like, as one of them said, "to be

King Frederick is not genius and
| Queen Louise is by no means brilliant
woman, but they both have good, sound,
everyday sense and kind hearts. They
are just the sort of folk to retain the
loyalty of the Danish people, which
rests more on personal liking and es-
TEEN than on any abiding faith in a
monarchical form OF government. They
have strong socialisSic tendencies and
would make short work of any ruler
who should adopt, the superior attitude

only men who wish to reform. When a
man begins to drink he forfeits his
right to live at the aouse. Even tho a
man falls and eventually gets back into
prison, we often take him back and
give him another chance.
I won t tell you of my hopes for the
future, but you can see that we can
never broaden out into a great institu-
ton. II we fail to know personally
every member the object fails and the
success of the work IS doubtful. What
we want to show, however, is that the
plan is practical and self-supporting.
When this becomes manifest I hope
that others will take it up.

the palm to his consort, who has long

w oNGKONG, CHINA, Dec. 10.
The contrast between the
II II China Of antiquity, hoary with
age, and the new China, just awaken
ing into life, is SO great as to suggest
the treatment of the two periods in
different articles. And if the contrast
| between the China of yesterday and
the China Of today is great, what shall
we say Of the contrast between the
/ howery kingdom and our own countryY
!! The same stars shine overhead and the
| same laws Of nature operate on the
earth, but in mode of living, appear
ance, customs and habits of thought,
/ the Chinese people could scarcely be
more different from ours.
First, word as to the land which
they occupy; it's very vastness i'm
presses one, unless he has recently con-
tsulted his geography. While the eigh-
! teen provinces which constitute China
proper have something less than two
million square miles, get the Chinese
empire, with its tributary states, has
IAN area Of about five million
three hundred thousand square
miles and extends over thirty de-
grees north and south and seventy de-
grees east and west. We hardly realize
when we speak of China that her en-
;peror holds sway over territory near
tly twice as large as the United States;
that his DEGREES are law to a popula-
ton estimated at from two hundred
and fifty million to four hundred mil
lion; that her climate is like that OF
Russia in the north, while in the south
ern provinces her people live under
tropical sun; and that she has so many
mountains and such mighty deserts
that more than half her population is
crowded together upon a plain which
contains but a little more than two
hundred thousand square miles. Will

die Kingdom calls this district "tha

Dor at Hongkong is an admirable one
-one Of the best in the world-the
one at Shanghai has no hills to protect
lit, the one at Chefoo is open to
the storms and the one at Taku does
not deserve to be called harbor at
all. In leaving Shanghai we went an
hour and a half by launch in order to
reach steamer Of only 5000 tons; at
