to that nOrther region

From this region he sent cuttings of the
wild mountain peaches and apricots.
which will afford us a beautiful Towering
shrub. Further north he obtained a lot
of "cherry-bud sticks" which the ma
tives bud and graft upon wild peach
stock and which may be esteemed by
Americans because they will fruit earlier
than our common cherries. Proceeding
next to Shanghai. he found no sleeping
or eating accommodations on the train,
where every passenger carried his own
bedding and provisions.
Attacked at Rankow.
He was attacked by rowdies during an
evening stroll through the native quarter
of Hankow. where he stopped en- route.
While some of the ruffians We're beating
him with their fists, others were thrust
ing their hands into his pockets. and at
the same time all raised a terrible howl,
which Immediately drew from the neigh
boring houses and shops a great crowd
which yelled and sneered. Affecting to
regard these demonstrations as an ova-
ticl, he doffed his hat, bowed on all di-
rections. and backed out of the maelstrom
while his tormento-s stood rooted to the
earth in silent wonder and amazement
Passing on to Shanghai by boat he there
obtained cuttings of a rare white louuat,

curious fruit which seems to be across
between the bitter orange and tangerine
and which Mr.. Meyer suggests as a new
tonic fruit for ou- breakfast tables.

In these mountains he at last got cut

of Architects urging the establishment o.
bureau of fine arts, under the direction
Of a member of the Presidents cabinet,
which should concern itself with the edu-

way to widespread appreciation. Inquir-
les in regard to the national gallery are
being frequently received by those In
charge, and in other ways notice is being
taken of it. All this goes to show that it
is something more than a local enterprise;
that the country at large recognizes its
Importance and that the people generally
are eager for it's advancement.
