Canton's City Of tho Dead.

Canton's City Of tho Dead.
In Canton, about eighty miles from
Hongkong, there is a place known as
the City of the Dead. There are 1914
small houses, in each Of which a corpse
Is lodged, at the rate Of $25 for the
first three months and then at 4 re-
duced rate until the geomancers en-
ployed by the relatives Of the dead
person decide when and where the
corpse shall be buried. Silk or paper
lanterns and Imitation fruit are hung
from the roof. There are screens in
each room between the door and the
coffin. Tea, fruit and any other kind
Of food which the dead person liked
when on earth are placed on an altar
before the coffin each morning. There
are cardboard servants standing about
to wait on him with pipes or cardboard
cups Of tea. There are also two hand
some paper females placed there to
guide his spirit on the way to heaven.

A Memory Of the Days When Harper

A Memory Of the Days When Harpsr's
Weekly Was a Power.
In the days when Harper's Weekly
was at the height of its popularity and
influence it commanded the services Of
the foremost illustrators in America,
including the cartoonists. Every once
In awhile group Of these artists
would become dissatisfied with the
Harper parental control and would
leave to establish an independent illus
trated paper.
Having sQuandered their substance
In riotous printing, these artists would
come to themselves and return to the
Harper home, where was bread enough
and to spare. No fatted calf was killed
on the return of such prodigals, but
Henry Mills Alden, the veteran editor
Of Harper's Monthly Magazine, assert
ed that the house Of Harper never held
a grudge against any contributor,
whether artist or writer, who left to
try other pastures. Such was the orr
gin and such was the end of Punch
inello, comic cartoon weekly which
first appeared In New York city on
April 2, 1870.
In calling attention to the fact that
the first number was dated the first
day after All Fools day, Punchinello
Remarked: This Is cheering, since
thus it is manifest that Punchlnello

court holding states have power to
enact laws for the condemnation OF
water power sites and water rights,
was called to his attention today, Il.
NJ. Ammons, former governor Of Col
oradO, said:
"That decision will be farreaching
in the development Of irrigation and
power projects In western states,
there has been no development, legis-
lative or judicial recently Of so vital
importance"
Illustrative of the probable effect
Ammons stated that there is in Colo
rado approximately two million horse
power capable Of development
through water sites of which only
about 5 per cent has been developed
The decision, he said, undoubtedly
will permit development of irrigation
projects, many of which have been
held back by refusal of the federal
government to grant rights of way
