SWELLDOM tm-.-*:, &•-«"•= lUFmmyTTuanOMS^ . £3% MARSHALL P. WILDER (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) V Hongkong is a wonderful city, con- it rue ted on a hillside, with a line lories of walks winding in and out :*bout the Peak. i.. - When Great Britain grabs a piece Of real estate she generally displays ®DOd taste. Hongkong is as handsome » one as could be found anywhere for *** purpose of showing off a city. > In a suburban tramcar in London feat I got into the seats were all full tat one very vacant place. Man, very Ibfunk, hanging to a strap, tries to sit aiown. k Another man, not relishing a beery ififcmpanion, spreads himself all over the seat. The "jag" steadies himself, pulls- himself together and asks sobri­ ety to "move up." Sobriety refuses, j "You're drunk!" says sobriety. J "That's right!" replied the "Jag," With some difficulty, Tm--hie--drunk, tat I'll get over it You're a--hie-- tag, and you'll never get over it." The houses and buildings on the Peak were all built from material car- lied up by coolies, a great number of them women. They receive such piti- fnl wages that it is cheaper to have tfaem carry it up than to send it up by ihe tram. When Great Britain and China fell to fighting over the opium trade China gpt the the worst of it and the English got Hongkong. They immediately pro­ ceeded to reconstruct it according to •pproved English methods. They even gave it an English name--Victoria-- by which it is known in government circles, but the good old Chinese name la preferred by the masses, even Eng­ lish ship captains who abound in the We Were Bo fortunate as to MS Something of the minor social life of the Chinese through the courtesy of Mr. Thomas McAran of Hongkong, Tfrho introduced me to Mr. Wei Yuk, a prominent and wealthy banker and one Of the two Chinese members of the English board of governors of Hong­ kong. Mr. McAran very kindly took me to call on the banker, and that evening a coolie brought a beautifully engraved Invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Wei Yuk requesting the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. W.'s company at dinner the next evening. Of course we accepted, as it was a rare oppor­ tunity to see the real thing in Chinese swelldom. It was a beautiful affair, and I look upon it as one of the most interesting episodes I have the pleas­ ure of remembering. Of course we put on our best bib and tucker, and were carried in chairs on coqlies' shoulders up the steep Peak--the fashionable residential part of the city--to Mr. Wei Yuk'g handsome marble residence (to say palace would be no misnomer) which is called Brae- side. The explanation for this name is that Mr. Wei Yuk learned his Eng­ lish (which he speaks exquisitely) in Edinburgh, at whose university he was graduated, being the first Chinese child ever sent out of China to be edu­ cated. His house was very English in its appointments, and there were truly Chinese apartments, but we saw only the drawing room and dining room, which were very English in­ deed. There were present, beside the host and hostess, their two daughters, two sons, a niece, Mrs. Wei Yuk's brother and brother-in-law, and a few English and Americans. Mrs. Wei Yuk spoke no English, but was very gracious and charming and entirely without the reserve I expected to find in a native Chinese. Mr. McAran told me she was an example of the very highest type of Chinese lady. She was a large woman, tall and stout, and her feet, about four inches long and two wide, were encased in little satin shoes of a color that ladies would call cerise, and embroidered and sewn with seed pearls. I will endeavor to make my description of the rest of her costume intelligible--to my lady read­ ers, that Is: She wore as a principal garment a long jacket of plum-colored brocade, beautifully embroidered about the edges, over wide trousers of black satin with an embroidered blue band at the hem. Her jacket was fastened with buttons of carved pink coral that would have made an. American girl jump out of her shoes to possess. r< HE 18 LOOKED UPON A3 PAIR GAME, port giving royal name the go-by. In methods, customs and sentiment Hongkong is thoroughly English, al­ though there are enough resident Ger­ mans to support a very fine club. Americans are greatly in the minor­ ity In Hongkong and incline to keep to themselves for many reasons. To American people who contem­ plate a visit to the far east a word of warning in regard to Hongkong will not be amiss, for, while it may not help matters, they would at least in some measure be prepared for the hold-up they will encounter there. In the first place, no more unwel­ come visitor can go to Hongkong than an American, and he is looked upon as fair game. The Hongkong hotel is without ex­ ception the worst in the east and charges the most exorbitant prices. The only thing lacking in the make­ up of these prices is a black mask and a pistol. The manager of the hotel, recently a steward on one of the P. & 0. steam­ ers, acknowledges that the hotel was a failure until about four years ago, when the opening of the Philippines boomed business for them to the ex­ tent that there has not been a vacant room since, yet, in spite of this, Ameri­ can are unwelcome, and are treated with scant courtesy. 1 A feature of the town are the sedan chairs. There are no horses, with the An Electric Trolley. exoeption of polo ponies that are never driven, driving being impossible ittp and down the dizzy slopes of the Peak. It is Just as much out of the • question for rikashas, so they are only •used in the level part of the city along the water front. There is also an elec­ tric trolley that runs through this part of the town. The chairs, however, reign supreme on the mountain. They t . s are very comfortable, for the most , .part like, rattan armchairs, with car- 'tying poles laid on the shoulders of ; Itwo, or four, stout coolies. It is really ;<jery pleasant to go swaying along, up and down steps as easily as on the ^ ^loping path. ' Her headdress was the usual Mack satin cap worn by Chinese married women of every class, Marie Stuart In shape, without a crown, just a band, curving to fit the head, her beautiful hair neatly coiled round and round. This cap is generally ornamented with jade and pearls. Our hostess had the usual ornaments, but beautifully carved and set with whole pearls. Be­ side these there was pinned in front a diamond sunburst much bigger than the lady's little fist, and atop of the rising sun an enormous emerald larger than a nickel, surrounded by diamonds. Her earrings were dia­ mond solitaries as big as marrowfat peas, with long pendants of jade. Her hands were covered with rings--cir­ cles oi pearls and diamonds. In short, the lady was what one might call an Oriental flashlight. Her married daughter and little daughter 11 years old were both in pink brocade, with gorgeous pearl ornaments and earrings. Her niece was in white brocade, with ornaments of diamonds and jade. Her brother-in-law is one of the few millionaires in China, and made his fortune in flour. Her brother, a very much Europeanized Chinaman, being a graduate of Oxford, bad just re­ turned from England, where he had been since a child. He was truly British--clothes, accent, and all; even his cue cut off. He carried on a con­ versation between us and our hostess, interpreting for the trio. The table was beautifully decorated. Instead of a center piece, there were two dozen or more small silver vases scattered over the table, filled with flowers. The service was certainly all that could be desired, a Chinese serv­ ant in blue linen gown standing be­ hind every chair. The dinner wad modified Chinese, and very good; with very few excep­ tions the dishes were most palatable to western taste, and several, such as roast beef and fruit salad, were dis­ tinctly European. It was a novel and Interesting af­ fair and the glimpse at Chinese family life, an opportunity much appreciated by m. Eyes of Deep-Sea Fish. "Few people know that when deep- sea fish are taken from the water their eyes pop from their heads," said E. B. Wynn of Mobile. "This is due to being relieved of the tremendous water pressure and coming in contact with air. On the gulf coast, where thousands of fish are caught daily, one can see hundreds and hundreds oi deep-water fish with eyes hanging from their sockets." Serious. Indeed! tofhe principal of a school for poor boys in London the father of one of the lads wrote the following note in explanation of his son's ab­ sence from school: "Sir: Please ex­ cuse John for being away, as he has been very bad witft Information c* the inside." FOR THE RAILWAY BEAUTIFUL. Good Progress Being Made on Most of tW American Lines. Much is heard--not too much--about the house beautiful and the city beau­ tiful, but what about the railway beau­ tiful? Sylvester Baxter discusses It Interestingly in the Century Magazine. With the aid of a profusion of magnifi­ cent illustrations he makes an im­ pressive appeal for the beautificattoa of the American railway* To Germany he awards the palm for thi$ sort of work. The way stations are artistically designed, the terminal stations are monumental and imposing, and the railroad grounds are every­ where decked out with flowers and shrubbery. The way stations in Eng­ land, he says, are without archi­ tectural pretensions, prosaic and com­ monplace and disfigured with adver­ tisements, though there is an attrac­ tive neatness displayed along the way­ side as well as at the stations. Mr. Baxter's treatment of the rail­ way beautiful in the United States Is optimistic. He takes pleasure in show­ ing the immense improvement that has taken , place In'late years and that Is now in progress. He spreads before his readers a series of charming views of particular way stations east and west, and makes It perfectly plain that before a great while this country, despite its immense spaces and dls> traces, will be the real home of the railway beautiful. Nowhere is this improvement more visible than in the suburbs of Chicago. Thirty years ago any shanty was good enough for the suburbanite, but now many of them take their trains from buildings and grounds that would be a credit to any park and that are not often surpassed in any country of Europe. There is a good deal to be desired yet, but the actual improve­ ment is remarkable. Mr. Baxter has not much to say about terminal stations except to de­ scribe the new union station in Wash­ ington as the grandest in the world. But he might have said, also, that there are some great terminal stations In this country and that others are projected, in Chicago and New York, which will leave very little to be de­ sired in that line. The day will come when the railway beautiful will mean the whole railway, from end to end. There is no reason why positive ugliness should not be banished from every railroad track, and much of it give place to neatness and even beauty.--Chicago Record- Herald. ALL-8TEEL PA38ENGER CAR. Vehicle Recently Put in 8ervice on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The first to he completed of the arder for 200 all-steel passenger cars placed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Oompany last year has just been put In service between New York and Philadelphia. This coach Is 70 feet in length and Is, therefore, the heaviest car of its kind which has been built. Aside from the mahogany window sashes and seat frames there Is no wood whatever in the coach. It is as nearly fireproof and collision-proof as it is possible to make it. This car seats 88 persons. Its total weight is 116,000 pounds--52 tons-- although it' is hoped to reduce this figure in later designs. The stand­ ard modern coach weighs only 84,900 pounds. The feature of construction, the fac­ tor which secures the car against the dangers of collision, is the central box girder 24 inches by 15 Inches deep.^ extending through the length of the coach. To further insure the car against collapsing its frame structure has been built on the principle of the cantilever bridge, suspended on the trucks as pierB. A coupler of a new type, stronger than anything used before, has been designed for thiB car to avoid any pos­ sibility of breakage and the resulting parting of trains. The floor of the car is of magnesium cement, laid on corrugated iron. The coach is lighted by electricity, de­ rived from train generators or storage batteries. The heating and ventilat­ ing of the car are upon the most Im­ proved principles. Coach No. 1652 was built in the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's own ahops at Altoona, and is one of the order for 200 all-steel passenger cars, ot which 25 are to pe built at Altoona, 90 by the American Car and Foundry Company and 85 by the Pressed SteeJ Car Company. It is the declared pol­ icy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com­ pany to have future passenger equip ment of all-steel construction. Capturing an Engine. One of the finest stories in the his­ tory of railroads centers round a run­ away engine on the Stockton & Dar­ lington- line, in England. The engine was observed by the driver of another and more powerful one. Seeing the fugitive speeding in the directlpn of Darlington, he un­ coupled hiB own engine, crossed the points and set out in pursuit on the same line. It was a long chase, but the pursuer, driven at top speed, grad­ ually overhauled the runaway. At last It came near enough for the driver to crawl to the front of his en- glne and drop a stout chain over the tender hook of the other. He returned to his footplate, shut off steam and screwed down his brake. This steadied the one in front and so retarded its pace that the drivet was able now to creep from his own engine on to the runaway, put on the brake,' and bring it to a standstill, al­ most in the crowded Darlington station. New Guatemalan Line. The new Guatemala railroad, which is expected to open up the riches ol another country to the industry of the United States, is an American enter prise, which will bring Guatemala City within a few days of New York In­ stead of, as heretofore, leaving that capHal only accessible from Pan Fran- olsco after«20 to 30 days' travel. . Light Cars with Acetylene. On the French Northern railway many carriages are lighted by acety­ lene, and the results of using thit method of illumination are said to to satisfactory. •£:j 8EED CORN TESTERH!^ Plan of Device Which Can Be Made at Home. The accompanying cut shows a 100- ear crate for storing seed corn and a tray for testing it The crate should be about 24 inches square, depending upon the size of the ears. The ends should be of one by six inch boards and the sides one by four inch, so as to give good ventilation. It should be divided into 100 squares .bs stretching wire across the top each way. These crates are handy to handle and made an Ideal storage, letter the rows on the Q <0 N. « rr\ OI - A 6 | C D F G H T J TIMOTHY JOINT WORM.

To make a testing tray take a p&ne of glass or board and cut a piece of thick cloth the same size, laying it on the glass. Wrap with colored string, spacing so as to divide the tray into 100 squares, numbering and lettering to correspond with the crate. To test the seed take the tray to the crate and beginning at A-l take six grains from different parts of the ear and place them in the tray on the cor­ responding square. Great care should be taken that the grains are kept sep­ arate. What the tray has been filled Ear Arrangement In Tester's Order cover carefully with cotton batting and wet it thoroughly. Where enough crates are provided for all the seed corn, explains E. B. Gibbs, in Twentieth Century Farmer, an equal number of trays may be ar­ ranged so that all of the seed may be tested at one time and under the same conditions. The seed should be kept as near the temperature of the ground 1e which the crop is to be planted as possible. Where it is desired to plant the seed in soil a wooden crate can be made of thin lumber and filled level with soil and spaced off with the cord the same as the glass tray. All ears should be discarded that do not give six good sprouts under fair conditions, but if by testing you find a dozen bad ears it will be the best paying trouble you have bad for some time, besides you can do the testing at odd times and it is worth more than the cost just to know that you have started the year's work right, and you can depend upon the seed when the time comes to plant. If you cannot figure out how it is going to pay, go on and test, and the extra corn in the crib next fall will show for itself. An­ other year save your corn from the field before frost and store it in the crates. DUSTLE88 ROADWAY8. We Now Have the Luxury of Abso­ lutely Dustless Roadways. A bulletin issued last July by the Kansas City park board makes the above statement. A year ago, during the summer months, the board had its whole force of sprinkling wagons going every day in an attempt to keep down the dust which made the enjoy­ ment of the park drives impossible at times. In a few hours the hot summer sun dried the roads, and every pass­ ing motor car left clouds of fine rock dust to settle on the foliage along the drive. Now a motor car passing at the highest speed over any portion of the extensive boulevard system leaves no dusty trail in its wake. The oil has not only proved much more effective than water but it is a third cheaper and preserves the roadways as well, writes Roy A. Moore, in The World To-Day. One of the serious problems here, as in other cities, has been the preservation of the drives from the wear of the motor car wheels. The oiled boulevard Is also protected from erosion. Formerly every rainstorm left ragged gullies which took several days to repair. The eye of the most Inexperienced could see that some­ thing was needed to bind the macad- dam, to preserve a smooth surface without dust and prevent washouts at the Bame time. The net savings in the use of oil for the year was $5,- 535.88, or 34 per cent GRI8T FOR THE FARMER.

Those of us who used to take sul­ phur and molasses as a "spring medi­ cine" can appreciate what is said about sulphur and mice. Of course the sulphur helped the mice to cat more corn. Something About This Pest Which Proves Troublesome at Times. An Ipwa ifader of the Journal of Agrlcumire was bothered last year with an insect in the timothy joints that resembles joint worms in wheat and kindred plan(£. He asks for the name or the insect, the characteristic* and best means of destruction. This pest is commonly called tim­ othy joint worm and is one of the newly discovered crop pests. It has become quite common in New, York and other eastern states, but is occas­ ionally heard of in the central states, brought there by the Introduction of hay from the east ^ Not much is known of its habits, however, the de­ partment has been experimenting with it for a number of years. From a re­ cent circular describing these experi­ ments, we make the following ex­ tracts: During the past winter we have been able to rear the adult insect from timothy throughout nearly all the area west of the Hudson river, where the grass is grown. Where it has been possible to get hay from old meadows that, last year, yielded but a poor crop, there has been no difficulty in breeding the pest from the bay, thus showing that it readily winters in barns and in hay stacks. It has been reared In greatest profusion from timothy from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Marcel Ins, N. Y., several localities in Ohio and Conway, la. The timothy worm Is small, yellow­ ish white, footless worm with brown jaws. It is found in the center of the stems of timothy at the joint. The ful­ ly developed Insect is a small four- winged fly, of a jet black color, with red eyes, and legs banded with yel­ low, looking almost exactly like a small, black, winged ant. This pest seems to breed in greatest numbers in timothy meadows of long standing, and where the grass is allowed to grow up and mature along roadsides and fences. Where these conditions do not occur less and in some cases none of the pests seems to develop there, thus suggesting as practical preventive measures the frequent ro­ tation ot timot hy meadows and pastur­ ing or mowing off the roadsides, so as not to allow the grass to head out Clearly, if left until the stem has reached full growth the worms will not be killed by simply mowing off and allowing the stems to dry. A KANSAS ROAD DRAG. Claimed That It le Superior to tfte King's Split-Log Drag. To Missouri belongs the credit for the popularity which has been given to the split-log or King road drag and it has proved a wonderfully useful im­ plement. To Kansas belongs the credit of improving this drag so that its use- The Drag Complete. fulness and efficiency are greatly in­ creased, claims the Kansas Farmer. Herewith we give an illustration showing the construction of a form of road drag that was devised by Prof. J. L. Pelham of the horticultural de­ partment of the Fort Hays branch ex­ periment station at Hays City, Kan. Prof. Pelham is a graduate of the Kansas Agricultural college who has, since leaving the mother institution, been employed largely In experimental work in horticulture at the Fort Hays experiment station. During his pe­ riod of service there as well as during his service at the Agricultural college at Manhattan, where he spent a por­ tion of his time, he did a great deal of experimenting on the construction and maintenance of earth roads. As the result of this work he has evolved the form of drag shown herewith. It will be seen that the new form of drag differs from the old in no partic­ ular except that the rear scraping board Is set at an angle of 45 degrees W Cross 8ectlon of Drag. instead of 90. He found that the front board was sufficient to do all of the cutting necessary and that the rear board, when set at an angle, served to smooth and finish the road much more satisfactorily than did the old form. This new form of drag may have Its standing board faced with iron for a part of the length to serve as a cut­ ting edge, and also to facilitate the dropping of the accumulated earth into the rough places where it would be smoothed over by the slanting board. This new form of drag is' found to require very much less of team work to handle it and to give very much better service in every way. Both forms of drag are still in use at the college and experiment station, but the old or King drag is in use only occasionally when it is desired to cover a large surface in a short time and two drags are necessary. FOR THE GARDEN. How are the peach buds? They hold sunshine or shadow for some of us. The oil sprays for San Jose scale seem to have won their place at last by genuine merit. The state of Kansas owns a pro­ prietary poison for killing prairie dogs and gophers. It is made at the experi­ ment station and sold at cost to farmers. Put the onion sets in the ground soon as possible, a§ they will stand the spring frosts all right. Onqe more we urge, make the gar­ den rows as long as possible, as they are so much more easily worked thai way. M.v* * . . V • What is Pe-ru-na? Is it & Catarrh Remedy, ora or is it Both? Some people call Parana a great tonic. Others refer to oatarrh remedy. Which of these people are right! Is it more proper to call Penmaa tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
