Chinese Stores.

The stores of China are unlike any
Others in the world, and consequently
they are more interesting. In Tien-
tsil and Picking, the average native
shop Of any kind is a one-story build
ing without doors or windows of any
kind to the street. The entire front,
which is open in the daytime is made,
by means of shutters practically d
blank wall at night These shops are
fourteen to sixteen feet wide on the
street, and generally of about the
same depth. Three or four feet back
from the front counter runs, behind
which there is shelving. The store
rooms are not deeper because of the
peculiar arrangement of Chinese
houses. The typical Chinese house is
Only one story in hight and is built on
ali four sites of a square courtyard
If more room is needed there is a Sec
ond courtyard in the rear with a com
municating door and SO on. The va
mems or official homes of the various
Chinese officials OF Tien-t sn are all
erected in this way, one courtyard after
another surrounded by buildings all
opening into the court. This tradition
al style of construction is followed in
the shops along the streets. The court
yard behind is usually very small but
il is there nevertheless. The family
home OF the shopkeeper Is in the rear
buildings, or the rear rooms are used
as warehouses; to keep surplus stock
for which there is not space in the
main shop.
There is in Tien-tSin, says a consul
lar report, a street about three hun
bred yards long, between the bridge
over the Grand canal and one over the
Peiho, which was lined with shops of
all kinds. On the night of March
last all these shops were looted and
burned. They are now largely rebuilt
OF brick, TWO stories in hight. These
shops are only about fifteen feet in
depth. The upper story is used either
for living purposes or for storage. In
the looting and burning on the night re-
ferred to the silk merchants suffered
heavily In rebuilding their shops
they have adopted an entirely new plan
for their protection. The entrance is
"A narrow door made very heavy and
plated with iron. One or two small
windows opening on the street are
protected by iron bars These new
structures are built in two stories, and
there are larger windows on the second
floor for the sake of examining the
goods.
Instead of window displays the shop
puts out staring signs. Vertical signs
are extremely common. the characters
often being carved out of wood and
heavily giIded. The multiplicity and
gaudiness of the signs take the place
of window displays. such things as
special bargain days and 'sales"
re, of course, unknown. Storekeepers
as rule do not deliver goods. The
native customer carries his purchases
away with him. If foreigner goes
into g Chinese shop and makes a con-
sidera BILE purchase, the storekeeper Will
have ii delivered at his hotel, but ne
win be expected to give a gratuity to
the messenger. Ordinarily retail sales
to the masses of the people are FOR
cash: those made to the Chinese OF
standing and wealth are usually on
credit.-Indianapolis News.

MAKING WAR ON CRIMINALS.
How City Got Down to Business
and Cleaned Tn.

Kansas City has been in the throes OF
a "crime wave for many Gays. AS
many as 40 burglaries and hoiaiips were
reported In night The situation was
becoming desperate. The chief of police
was at his wits end to know what TO do
to check the wave. AS last resort he
issued an order for patrolmen and other
members of the police department to
bring in every person with a prison rec.
ord or any person with d shady reputa-
ton. In addition he issued the follow
ing order
Beginning at once. 10 days leave OF
absence, with pay will be granted each
ratrolman who brings in dead or alive.

And this latter was evidently effective.

meant business, and as a result robbers

number of "holdups," burglaries and
other thefts fell off appreciably In "A
hours. The city courts fell in with the
efforts to clean the city and offenders
with crime records against them did not
fare well when brought into court. They
were given sentences of year or more

this will continue until they finally leave
Kansas City.
Kansas City has been overrun with all
sorts of petty thieving. especially "hold-
up men and purse snatchers The police
had been lax in their vigilance. But now,
with lfo additional patrolmen and strict
orders of procedure. the city is being
cleaned up and the head of the de-
partment says it will stay clean.
