Heaven and He'll.

In Delaware, about a mile apart, are two small villages, one glorying in t1e name of Little Heaven" and the other taking grim pleasure in the designa- ton Little He'll" Other than to illus trate that often there is but a short journey from Heaven to Hell some times even a shorter journey than a mile-the names have no appositeness- The difference between the two vll- lages, far from being that between the state of unalloyed bliss and that of eternal torment, is very little In fact, neither lives up to its name. though, If the people are like others elsewhere, the one with the shorter and uglier name probably makes a better stab at it than the other. The people of the two villages apparently recognize the inappropriateness of the names, and because some of them think them pro- rane and others think them ridiculous, the attempt at change is to be made. May 1t succeed, and. If they are seek ing good substitutes, we suggest free, gratis and for nothing, that Little Heaven petition the Legislature to give 1t the name of Little Richmond, and that Little Hell retain the original idea under the changed name by pre- fixing the diminutive to the word Bal timore or Norfolk.-Richmond (Va.)

Land of wheelbarrows.

The wheelbarrow is the most COM
mon medium OF transportation In
S%hantung, China. The load Is bal
anced about the wheel so that the
workman does not have to carry a por-
ton Of the load, as is the case with
the American wh~eelbarrow. Some
wheelbarrows have bat one push man;
some having a pulling man as well;
some have one, two or three donkeys
to aid in the pulling. and some are
equipped with a sail to obtain the
help Of favorable winds. The equip
ment depends On the load carried, the
maximum load being about a ton.
Transportation by wheelbarrow is
from five to eight times as expensive
as transportation by rail In this prov.
ince. Thus, the native methods OF
land transportation, even with labor
receiving a wage less than ten cents
gold a day, are costly, disproportion-
ately 30 as compared with the prices
Of other commodities. Yet Shantung
has tens of thousands of wheelbarrows
engaged In traffic. 1t is easy to ap.
~preciate what railroads will mean to
the development of this densely pop.
ulated province.
