THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
By Temple Manning .

DECENTLY I told you briefly
~ OF Canton, the old metropolis
of China. 1t would have been
impossible to have told you all
about the strange sights and in
teresting places in this city in the
small space of one article, SO
am going to devote this article to
further trip through the city.
Canton has ever been distinct
and separate from the rest of
China. It's people have always
been superior in intelligence and
more progressive in those things
which go to make up what we
call civilization. This despite the
occasional squalor or lack of oh
servancy of the everyday rules of
public health and hygiene which
one may see in the older native
sereets.
One of the foremost buildings in
Canton Is the Temple of the Five
Hundred Genii. This contains a
vast number Of gilded images, all
of which have a significance in
the religious life of the Cantonese.
Before each image is an urn into
which the worshiperS toss their
burning joss sticks as a mark of
devotion. Among the statues in
this temple is a huge effigv of
Pau Low, who has been identified
az Marco Polo. who was probably
the first European to visit China.
Another interesting sight Is the
so-called City OF the Dead. This

ONCE OVERS

HAVE you ever noticed how
III much better friends certain
persons seem to be in an early
friendship?
Neither Is demanding anything
Of the other. Each is putting the
hest foot forward, Or possibly
there Is a spirit of give and take
which admits of witty exchanges
in which one touches up the other
rather sharply, but no offense Is
given or intended.
But later when a great friend
ship is established, the partners at
friendship begin to be touchy,
there seems to be a fear of giving
or taking-that it might offend.
This is a reason given by certain
ones for not having many good
friends-intimate friends.
Acquaintances are more to be
desired, because the spirit of indif-
ference prevails rather than desire
for favor, it Is argued.
Don't be misled about friendship.
The true, real friend, the perfect
friendship never Is unsettled by
trifles, even though not under
derstanding. Enjoy many pleas
ant acquaintances, and have a few
real friends. but the ones who are
demanding and touchy are not 30

which repose coffins. The wealth
Of the dead persons family de-
termines how long the body is
kept here, for the rentals are
high, usually about $3.50 for three
months and &26 a month there
after.
A funeral in Canton is a sight
worth beholding. II 1t be the
funeral of a prominent person the
procession Ia led by native band
producing the most hideous sort
OF discords. Then come lantern
hearers, floral offerings and
sedan chair carrying a veritahle
feast for the spirit of the deceased,
The ancestral tablets follow In
another chair, then come the
mourners. The whole affair is ac-
companied by the greatest din, all
in an effort to frighten away evil
spirits.
wilC be found shops Of every
variety, many of them offering
high-grade merchandise. This
shopping district Is carefully d.

Significance of Dust
By Archibald Henderson

A SIX any housewife what is the
"A greatest nuisance and she

reason why q housewives work
IS never done. She has scarcely
finished sweeping out the dust
when It begins to settle and ac-
cumulate over everything once
more.
In many countries, dust Is a
constant breeder Of diseases, caus.
ing ophthalmia. a painful inflam.
nation of the eye. Dust is an.
other form of dirt which has
been euphemistically defined as
matter in the wrong place In
coal mines. dust is certainly mat.
ter in the wrong place; for at
times. and without any warn
ing. it produces the most hor.
rible explosions.
For anyone who believes that
natural beauty is one of the
most precious and inspiring in
fluences upon humanity. it can
easily be shown that dust has
an important, if not an essential
part to play in the world.
Consider the wonderful. beau
tiful blue shades of both sky and
sea. Consider the glorious sun

recently, for example, in many
