China I saw the j big steamer, Siberia, moving out on her long journey across the Pacific. After leaving Hong Kong I could not send mail back to America, as all mail after that followed through Suez.

Most ot the people are Chinese, Ma lays. etc., but it is under English bouthwest monsoon, and the north side gets the other six months from the northeast monsoon. The monsoon is what we would call the trade winds. As we approached the harbor the monsoon wind was blowing a pretty stiff sea, and the pilot boat came danc ing out on the waves. We slowly steamed in behind the barrier into still water, and lay not far from the big Australian liner that was to take us on to London. Quickly the natives swarmed around the boat and brought their wares around to sell. Jewels, and precious stones, carved elephants and curios, laces and fancy things. These swarthy natives, with their picturesque dress, are great traders, and woe unto the innocent passenger who falls into their hands. Fortune tellers, jugglers and such like nlied their trade "'s well. We spent one day in harbor, hut I went ashore only a few minutes to buy some necessary things. We were conveyed to the In dia in a steam launch, said good-bye to the genial captain Andrews, and en tered our new home. I did not have a chance to meet any other missionar ies in Ceylon. We sailed out into the Indian ocean again about fi P. M. and at once began the battle with waves and winds and sea sickness. The passage of six days across the Indian ocean was not a pleasant one. The sea was heavy, the wind high and down below the port holes had to be shut, making it stuffy and hot. There were many more passengers than on the other ship. We have on board people from Chi na, Malay Peninsula, New Zealand, Australia. Fiji Islands. Ceylon. India, Port Raid in Egypt, and even two or three Americans. There are three hundred or more altogether. I should say, first and second class. They amuse themselves in many ways, each according to his kind. A ship is the world in minature.

We learn neople histories and hear of the ends of the earth from f hose who have been there. We passed the Red Sea in about three days, and one day in the Suez Canal. Today I am writing at sea in the Mediteranean. near the Island of Corsica, the home of Napolean. We are to arrive at Marseilles tonight. Yesterday we passed Stamboli, an ac tive volcano. , W. E.

A New York man was stopping for a month at an island town in Florida. This man is exceedingly fond of swim ming, but has a horror of snakes, and this fear kept him from indulging in his favorite sport in the nearby river. He vvas fishing one day, and mention ed his desire and the barrier to its en joyment to his .guide, a lanky and sor rowful “cracker.” “Oh. I kin Ax yo’ all up all right,” the guide drawled, and led the way to a beautiful little lake some distance hack from the river. “Ain’t nary snake in hyah,” he said. The northerner enjoyed a half hour’s sport in the clear water, and then coming back to the white sand beach, began to dress. He then ob served that what he had taken to be several logs floating upon the water were in motion. “Them ain’t logs,” his sfulde calmly replied, chewing on a straw: "them ’gators. That’s how come there ain’t no snakes in hyah—'gators keeps ’em et up.” With those who give it a little thought to its ad vantages.
