possessors of what is believed To he the
only pet humming-bird in existence,

specimen who answers to the name ut
Dick.
This unusual bird is so tame that he
eats his meals from the end of a medi-
cine dropper held i'm the mouth of one
of his friends. They feed him sugar
syrup in this way. He will also tread
air while slipping nectar from cluster
of flowers held by one Of the men. An
other favorite stunt of his is that ot
perching upon their fingers while eat
ing his meals.

Americans and Japanese were invoiV-
ed. To walk about Tientsin is TO trav-

Geographic society. An afternoons
stroll from the native TO the British,
French. Italian. Russian and other Tor
eign quarters gives the sensation OF

Paris, Rome and PetrOgrad. And the
windmills among the salt mounds just
outside the city add a touch of Holland.
This panorama city has had tenn

Tended themselves for a month against
the fanatic boxers in 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li. or Town Without
Walls" because the ancient barriers
were demolished during the siege. OF
the 500 doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the scene of another
famous siege, that of the TAPPING reb-
els in 1853. Followers of Hung Sin
Tsuan. who had professed Christianity
and set himself up in Marking as the
Heavenly King" marched toward
Picking. But the Waterloo of the long

would not plait their queues and thus
signify loyalty to the Manchus, came

"Chinese" Gordon's Victory.
The success of the campaign against
the revOlutionists was due principally
TO the gallant Chinese" Gordon, Gen.
Charles George Gordon, and his ''ever
victorious army" But the fact would
not be suspected from reading the i'm
perial edict issued by the former con
cubine who had elevated herself &c
Empress DOwager. The edict set forth
that this glorious victory is entirel!
due to the bOuntiful protection of heav
en-, TO the ever-present help of our an
cestOrs and to the foresight of the EN-
press regent" A tribute is paid TO the
Chinese generals, who have beef

the decoration of the double-eyed pea

Immense Salt Industry.
The salt industry in the neighbor-
hood of Tientsin is prOdigious. Nih"-
mills are used TO pump salt water into
the fields along the Halo river, where
the widely-knOwn Chang-lu salt Is
made. Before the war nearly -OVoo
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially IN
many respects. 1t is rice market
and Siberia's tea formerly was shlppeu
through here. Exports were as varied
as the needs Of the dozen or so nations
which had separate settlements along
five miles of the river front, and It's
imports were as diverse as the conf
modiries those nations had TO eA-
