Immensity of the Valley ? A Vast Empire Cut Up by Canals and Diked Like Holland?Chi* nese Country Scenes. a ^e^er *? I I ^as^in&t?n Star gJJ I dated on board a I I Chinese steamer 600 miles from the 'month of the >rn^Tr Yangtse K i a n g, Frank G. CarpenTfMff ter says: I have ^0^^=^ been riding for T8lB=flm days upon the great I " Yangtse River, and I write this letter in almost the center ' of the Chinese Empire. I am within 1 ? " ? - i j?j ?;i 1 r<i,;_ 1 ie6S Ulan a nuuuxeu mnea ui mo vmcago of the celestial land, the vast city of Hankow, and am passing through the country where the Chinese mobbed the foreigners a year or so ago, burning down the houses of the missionaries, and killing some of the English officers of the Chinese customs. Last night I left Kiukiang, a " big trading center at the mouth of the Poyang Lake, and during the past two weeks I have passed a half dozen? cities of the size of Cleveland or Washington, and have traveled through about the same number of great States, having an aggregate population of something like one hundred and fifty millions of people. All the towns I have visited I have found packed with a throng busier than you find on lower Broadway at noonday, and I am | amazed at the immensity of this great Chinese Empire and its enormous population. I entered the Yangtse at its mouth, where it flows through the Chinese Province or State of Kiangsu. This is in the center of the east coast, and it has an area aboat as big as timt ' of Pennsylvania. It contains more 1 than half as many people as the whole ] United States, and its population is eqnal to tbat of the British Isles. The State of Ganhui, which I next entered, is no bigger than Kansas, but it supports twenty-seven million people-, and the State of Hupeh, in which I am now traveling, has over twenty million. This great river itself has millions who are born, live and die upon its waters, and at every landing I see a thicket of poles, each of which springs from the home of ono of the millions of families which make up China's boat population. I am amazed at. +.}ia wonderful resources of the country. My eyes bulged out at the muscles and industry of its people, and my head buzzes in trying to understand the curious sights which are crowded upon me. j China's great rivers are among the ( wonders of the world, and the Yangtse , Kiang is the king of its kind. It has a greater volume of water than the ^ Nile or the AmazoD, and it has built ] up a greater country than Egypt along } the low lands of China. In approach- ^ ing it from the ocean I found the j waters discolored by its muddy fluid { many miles out at sea, and it turns ? the salty brine yellow for sixty miles j from its mouth. Here it is about as ^ thick as pea soup. You draw up a ^ bucket and in a moment its bottom ( will have a thick sediment of mud. 1 j had been warned not to use the spigot j which runs from the bottom of the ( boat into mv bath, but this morning , the boy had made it too hot and I tried to cool the barrel of filtered water in the tub with about a gallon from the Yangtse. I thought the amount was bo little that it could not affect the rest. The result was that the clear water became the color of mud and my bare foot left an im pression on the bottom as marked as that of the savage which so scared Robinson Crusoe on the desert island. It is a sort of a gritty silt, but 1 am told that there is no river on earth which bringB down a sediment more fertile. The whole of the great plain of North and Central China has been made by it. This plain is seven hundred miles long, and it supports more than a hundred million of people. The Yellow River runs through it a hundred miles north of this point, and this river, in combination with the Yangtse, has built the foundations of one-fourth of the Chinese Empire. To-day it is estimated that the amount of dirt they ? ??? 1 o nnf , carry uuwu iiulll iuc u^uihuuw v* Thibet and of China is so great that it ! forms every two months an island a mile square in the sea and at the mouth of the Yangtse. I sailed by the Tsung Ming Island, which is thirty-two miles long and about ten broad. It has been built up within a hundred years or so, and now has cities and villages and supports more I I CU5T0MS STATION ON THE FRONTIER. than a million people. The sea at the mouth of the Yangtse is filled with little islands, many of which have grown up within the memory of men now living, and along the low banks of the river I can see the strata of soil which it has brought down from year to year. At some points these lines of sediment are from one to two feet thick, and they are of as marked colors as strata of rock. The river has a vast volume of water. A line of freight water-tight cars reaching from New York to Chicago and carrying twenty tons each could not hold its one day's discharge into the sea, and its rise and fall at the city of Hankow, about six hundred and fifty miles from its mouth, ranges daring the year from forty to fifty feet. The rise in the Tangste Kiang is so great that embankments have to be built along its course for more than 1000 miles. All of the country I have passed through is diked, and this, not only as to tho river, but also as to every creek and canal connected with it CeDtral China is more cut up by waterways than Holland, and there are more dikes here to the square mile than you will find in the Netherlands. Sailing along the Yangste you see these dikes in every direction. They are about twenty feet high and from thirty to forty feet wide at the base, and their tops form the roads and paths of the country. Along them you see all sorts of Chinese characters trudging along, their figures silhouetted against the blue sky. Here goes the great freight car of China. It is a wheebarrow and a native coolie pushes it. Behind him comes another species of the same, a 1 * _ - - A 3 man carrying two great loans iastenea to the ends of the bow like pole which rests upon his shoulders. Next you see a brighty dressed girl, wearing red pantaloons and a blue sack, carrying i parasol of paper and looking very gay as she hobbles up and down the bank. You note mandarins riding in blue chairs carried between two bare [egged coolies, who trot along in front ind behind, and among tho nobles, the common people on foot. Here and there you may see a sheep jr a hog, but the horses are comparatively few, and the only cattle are the tialf hog half cow known as the water Duffalo. You see these working in the ielda pulling rude plows or turning the wooden water wheels, which are ised in some parts of China for irrigation. They are for all the world like the Sakieyhs of Egypt, and there ire many things about yon which remind you of the land of the Pharaohs. ?ou see no cattle or horses dragging burdens over the embankments, and ;he canals and rivers, in fact, take the place of roads. In all this part of 3hina, it is said, you can go to every man's house in a boat. There are numerous creeks that empty into the aSB!!^ A YANGTSE I rAncrstfi. The mouths of these are I ailed with junks, and on them and the ;anals, which cut up the land liko a net, pou see the masts and sails of boatB walking, as it were, rapidly over the green ields. Often there will be several ines of these boats running parallel vith the river, their white sails growng smaller in the distance, until they 'orm white specks upon the dim line )f the horizon. The cost of making ind keeping up this series of embanknents must be enormous. The Yang:se changes its course every now and :hen; it cuts away the soil and new likes have to be built. In many places ihere are several rows of earth one belind the other, and the remains of liscarded embankments are everyrrViara wioiWo Tn tViA mmmer tha river rises ?>nd floods everything not 10 diked. Houses are often swept iway, villages are destroyed and the and becomes a great inland sea. *A11 ilong the course are the vestiges of jast floods, and here and there you tee graveyards that the river has eaten nto, and you note the gaping holes eft by the coffins. At one point about LOO miles from where I now am, I saw i coffin extending half way out of the sank. It undoubtedly contained a jkeleton, and the wood was rotten with. age. The water was then within i foot of it, and by this time it must lave been washed out to sea. Here ind there we could see men irrigating ;he soil by tread-mill pumps, worked by half-naked Celestials, and everywhere man seemed to be waging a ^ ~ riofiirn on^ rrof.fir?or L/lUVC u^nu uim MMW qvifwmq the best of it. The Yangtse to-day is one of the greatest trade routes of the world. China is said to have more boats on ber waters than there are in all the rest of the world combined. She is the best watered country in God's green earth and has more wonderful waterways. Suppose you could stretch a river wider than the Mississippi in an almost straight line from New York to Chicago. Suppose it to be navigable for the biggest ocean steamers for that distance from May to October, and let ships from Russia, Germany, England and other parts of the world sail through it, and load at its wharves. This would be about what can be done on the Yangtse ICiang below Ichang. If you wjsh to carry out the comparison, however, you must let the great river extend further west. If you could 6tretch it on in a straight line it would go to Denver, and Btill be navigagle for large boats and barges. You must push it on further west to San Francisco, and you are still 500 miles from its source. Jt is said to be 3500 miles long, and it nas its rise in tne mountains oi Thibet, and has tributaries all along its course. It taps two great lakes, which give it canal communication with other provinces, and the most of the tea of the world comes from the lands south of it aud is shipped across the Poyang Lake, near where I now am, and sent to Hankow for sale. Incoming into the Yangtseits mouth is so wide that it is hours after you see the muddy color of its waters before you can distinguish the banks, and for the first fifty miles of our journey we passed through what seemed to be a great inland sea, ranging from twenty to fifty miles in width. Our first hills were passed about tifty miles inland. *!even hundred miles from the coast I found its width to be more than a mile, and it holds that width nearly all the way from Shanghai to Ichang, a distance of about one thousand miles. It contains many long, narrow islands, and it now and then branches out into different streams or cut offs from the main bed of the river, which at high water materially shorten the course. It is as full of modern steamers as the Mississippi, and has in addition the thousands of odd boats and junks of the Chinese. I could fill this paper with the mention of the different kinds of craft and their loads, and among the ships there are many which would be a surprise to American readers. There are Chinese life boats, for instance, everywhere. They are low junks with oars and sails, and they watch the river during the storms and ifis A WELL-WATERED LAND. pick up such sampans and fishing boats as are overturned. They are under the control of tha districts through which they go and form a sort of a river police. Now and then they capture a smuggler or a pirate, and here and there outside of some of the villages I saw boats which had been cut in half and set up on end. I asked what they were, and I was told that they had belonged to pirates and thieves. The culprits had been caught and beheaded, and their boats were thus put up as warnings to their brothers to beware of the law. Suoh boats are u sually put up at the places at which the crimes were committed. Everywhere you meet with native and Government officials. The different provinces have their customs officers, and they levy a heavy tax on all the native boats, each official gets his squeeze, and the taxation is terribly heavy. The customs collected for the general Government are in the hands of foreigners, for the Emperor cannot rely upon the honesty of his own officials, and so an Irishman, Sir Robert Hart, collects his duties for 'ARM YARD. him, and his boats and officials are at all of the leading ports. You see their customs officers scattered all along the banks of the river, and at high -water they sometimes use the little huts of oamooo, wmco are urougut uuwu iu the rafts frflm the upper Yangtse. This valley of the Yangtse Kiang is a vast garden. All along its course the grass is as green as in Egypt in winter, and two or three crops a year are everywhere grown. In looking over landscape you see no fences or barns. The people live in villages made of thatched huts, with walls of plaited reeds, which they plaster inside and out with mud. Sometimes the huts stand alone in the town, and at other times they are joined together in blocks. The best of them are not more than twenty feet square, and the average farm house has only one story. The earth forms the floor. You could, T venture, build a cood one for So. The houses stand flush with the slimy mud sidewalk, and the filthier and CHINESE POLICE BOAT. dirtier this is, the better it seems to please the people. Each village has a clump of trees about it, and in looking over the valley you see hundreds of these clumps, and realize the force J of the statement that the whole Empire is one vast village. Many of the villages, I am told, consist of only one family or clan, and the Chinese are 6aid to take better care of their relatives and to work together better than any people of the world. The best of the towns here are close to the river, and wo have passed many walled cities, with pagodas and temples rising above the other ridge-shaped roofs. At soma of the bigger centres this ship stops to take on and die charge cargo, and I have gone through a number of cities since I came to China the names of which I had never heard. Take the city of Nganking? not Nanking, the old capital of China, you have all read of that?but Nganking. How many of you have ever realized that it existed? "Well, we have just left it. It is a city of about j a half million people and is bigger j than St. Louis. It is the capitol of the State of Gauhni, which has a population of more than oue-third of the whole United States, though it is not ns big as the State of New York. It lies right on the banks of the Yangtse, about 150 miles above Nanking, and it lias miles of walls about it. These walls are twenty-five feet high and so wide that you could drive a buggy around the city on the top of them. Nganking is well built and rich now, though it was nearly ruined during the Taiping rebellion, back in the fifties. At that time the rebels held it under siege, and food became so scarce that human flesh was used, and, it is said, was sold in market places for its weight in silver. The city has now a great native trade, though it is not one of the treaty ports, and foreign steamers cannot stop at it. It has one of the finest pagoclas on the Yangtse, as shown on the initial illustration. It is a seven-storied tower of rose pink, rising, as it were, right from the banks of the river, to a height, I judge, about half that of the Washington monument. It is manysided and its 4op is decorated with a beautiful cap of bronze, which is built in rings, like those of some of the temples in Siarn, to a point. This tower was being repaired when I visited it and a framework of pole scaffolding extended from its base upward *o a height of more than one hundred feet. Upon this hundreds of Chinese masons and painters were working, and away up on the sixth story I could note little fly-like celestials clinging to the wall and patching up the ravages of the weather. I was glad to see it, for it showed me that there is at least one place in China where the monuments of the past are respected, and where both 1 he religion and the temples have not gone to seed. Names of Children. Down to the early part of the present century it was usual to name a child after the saint on whose day he happened to be born. A writer to Notes and Queries in 1853 states that he had recently baptized a child by the name of Benjamin Simon Jude. On his expressing some surprise at this somewhat similar conjunction of names, he was informed that the birth had taken place on the festival of SS. Simon and Jude, and that it was alI ways considered very unlucky to take the day from a child. The custom of naming children after any particular saint has fallen into general disuse, except in those countries where the population is composed almost entirely of Roman Catholics. The giving of a name in baptism ifi really no essential part of the rite, but is merely a custom derived apparently from the Hebrews, and which through long practice has become an important element in the ceremony. Many instances might be furnished of children who have inadvertently rewrnnffnomoo TVio rnnricf.Aria in I Warminster Church contain the folj lowing entries "1790, January 17, Charles, daughI ter of John and Betty Haines. This | child ought to have been christened | Charlotte, but, owing to a mistake of ! the sponsors, it was wrong named." "1791, July 13, William, daughter of William and Sarah Weiddick. N. B.?It was intended that the child, being a girl, should have been christened Maria, but through a mistake of the godfather it was named William."?Westminster Review. I The Kabjles ot Algeria.

The Koran's injunctions for the repression of anger do not strike them as worthy of acceptance. In fact, they are as keen in vendetta as the Corsican. A murder has to be atoned for by a murder. The man who refuses to exact blood for the blood of his relatives is pointed at as a coward. Among certain of them the procedure is as follows : As soon as a murder is committed, the relatives of the murderer hasten to the relatives of the victim and demand pardon, at the same time offering the price of blood?about 850. This money is set aside in a cow's horn, put in the corner of the dwelling, and kept there until a member of the murdered man's family has avenged him. It is then returned to the relatives of the first murderer, and the account is considered squared. I The saying, "Such a one has his horn full," implies that the family indicated is on the lookout for a chance of assassinating a member of a certain j other family.?All the Year Round.

In one of the Parisian journals a long discussion has been going on with regard to the effect, injurious or otherwise, that flowers have upon a singer's throat. The consensus of opinion among the opera singers seems to be that certain flowers, notably tuberoses and mimosa, are particularly dangerous. Mme. Christine Nilsson, in her letter on this subject, mentions the case of a celebrated woman singer with whom she was appearing in concert some years ago. As they stood in the wings waiting for the first number on the programme to be announced, a friend sent a huge wreath to the singer, which was made of tuberoses. The singer buried her nose in the flowers for a moment, and three minutes later when she went upon the stage to sing she found that she could not raise a note. The vocal chord had been temporarily paralyzed. A doctor was called, the flowers were thrown out of a window and the singer, after her throat had been treated, was able to sing later in the evening. Mile. Emma Calve in this article also upholds Mme. Nilsson's opinion. "The only flowers that I ever admit into my living apartments," writes Calve, "'are roses and violets. The tuberose is my particular abhorrence, not alone because it suggests death, bat on account of its injurious effect on the voice. Upon entering a room where lilies are I always have an irresistible desire to throw the windows open. They always irritate my throat. In my mind there is no doubt about all flowers being injurious to the - - t? 11_ T throat except roses, rersonauy j. u?u also exempt the violet, but other singers have told me that it had an injurious effect upon their vocal chords." ?New York Sun.

"If half the citizens of the world,* said a young woman who works on. umbrella covers, "only knew such a simple thing as how to roll up an umbrella, most of the umbrellas brought to dealers to be mended would never have needed repairs. "The right way to roll your umbrella is to take hold of the ends of the ribs and the stick with the same hand and hold them tightly enough to prevent their being twisted while the covering is being twirled around with the other hand. Then your umbrella will be as nicely closed as when you bought it, and the only wear and tear will be on the cloth.
