The third day out from Shanghai we steamed up the magnificent Typhon Bay. and dropped anchor below Hon Kong, which rose before us on the lofty range of hilla that surround the famous harbor. We had reached the moat possession of Great Britain; and from the acarlet uniform that are constantly in evidence on the treet of the city; from the strong firtincatlons that are In view; and from the names given to many of the prominent polnta of Interest, you are not allowed to forget who are the maatera of the inland, forty miles In circumference, upon which Hong Kong Is located. By means of the Incline cog-wheel railway you reach the summit of Victoria Peak: and standing upon this noble eminence, you can take a bird eye view of the country for many miles around. About you are many beautiful bungalows, with pretty surroundings; down the slopes of the hills are hundreds of handsome residences of the foreigners; toward the-base of the eminences can be seen the quarters.

Although It is Christmas week, in this semi-tropical climate, notice the exuberance of the flora. Many varieties of the cactus family, the camphor tree, the aloe, the cypresses, the Cap Jasmines, hydrangeas, geraniums, palms and magnolias art seen quit frequently in our walks and drives about the city: and the Chinese gardens show great skill in the cultivation and exhibition of their flowers and plants. Canton, the commercial capital of China, located ninety mile up the Pearl river, was the special object of our visit to Southern China; and our eight-hours' trip on the steamer, which gave us an excellent ppportunlty to study th river, rural districts, the dilapidated villages and the fortifications, was not In the least wearisome. As you approach Canton there La presented a sight that ta not duplicated in the world. Tou sail through a floating; city of two hundred thousand souls! Th thousands of boats that cover the face of the river facing Canton are built a houses, and in thes boats persons are born, are married and die.

I am writing these words on the porch of the home of a foreign resident; and Just below me. within two hundred yards of my chair, can be seen this moving city on the river, that reminds me somewhat of the busy scenes on the great canal at Venice, except the boats are not so artistic, but far more numerous. It haa been well said that Canton ss the strangest of all strange cities; and It Is certainly the most representative one in China.

The city extends for more than four miles along th Pearl river; and although It has a population of about the slxe of New York, there Is hardly a street over eight feet In width. As the narrowness of the streets will not allow the use of the Jin ri kashas and as a horse Is a curiosity, you must wind your way through the throngs of people on foot or be Jostled along in a sedan chair or rocking palanquin. Gamblers are found at every turn, seated about square table. Jabbering- In an excited manner; the small manufacturer piles his trade in the open thoroughfare; cooking goes on In the gutters or In the open doors, filling the air with greasy odors: the barber is engaged In hia active business by your side, as you pass along; the vender of eels, rat and dog meat proudly screams the doubtful statement that he haa something- peculiarly delicious; the burden-bearers, of both sexes and all ages, grunt and jroan as they limp past you: the gaudily-decorated bridal chair, preceded by a long line' of men and boys gay banners, and followed by a uniformed retinue, bearing baskets and boxes of presents, attract your attention; and thus for hours you are Interested. Instructed and bewildered by the ever changing- sights of this unique city.

A family street of the better classes does not present a bad appearance. The walls lining both sides of the way are formed of bluish-gray bricks, neatly pointed with mortar, with granite foundations, reaching several feet above the ground. There are no windows; and you enter throug-h a plain, massive double-leaved door, fastened by wooden bolts. Having entered this outer door you find your-elf under a small Introductory roof which shelters the porter's room: before you are sets of wooden doors reaching- from wall to wall; and beyond these is a small court, open to the sky. where ornamental flowers and plants are placed.

The house proper is now before yon; and separate apartments, under different roofs, are entered; for a Chines residence, except among the humbler classes. Is a collection of small buildings. Ceilings are very seldom seen, and th walls ar neither plastered nor papered. The houses of th poor are th most wretched hovels, many of them being only matsheds, the framework of which is made of bamboo and the walla and roofs of oblong formed of bamboo leaves fastened together. Although for two months we had been visiting Japanese and Chinese temples until we were sickened by the degradation and superstition of which the religious Instinct of humanity was capable, we could not see Canton without entering some of th hundreds of these buildings dedicated to Confucianism.

Buddhism or Taonism. The one held most sacred by the natives, perhaps, is the Temple of Honan. As you enter th grounds you are confronted by two hideous idols of colossal slxe, figures half animal and half human In design, with countenances that would give the nightmare to a professional cut-throat! Passing by the rows of shrines, the groups of dwarfed trees forced to stow In th shape of various animals, the cremating ovens where the bodies of the shaven-headed priests And repose, the pond where the sacred lotus is in bloom, we were more Interested in an lnclosure where a number of sacred bogs were wallowing In filth in a most unsacred manner. If the Parse worships Are. th Japanese bends berore foxes and snakes, the Hindu makes goqds of cows and monkeys, why should not the man of th pigtail have his sacred pig? In th Temple of Horrors we looked upon vivid representations of the ten hells of Buddhism.

Men floating in boiling oil; women suspended by Iron hooks, run through their backs; and all kinds of torments were set forth In ways that ar apt to make th blood of th wicked native curdle.

Passing out of th East Gate of the city, after walking several miles over a lonely country path, on either side of which were thousands of Chinese graves, many of them fresh during last year's black plague, we reached the village of lepers. As we approached this place of agony we were surrounded by scores of these death-stricken creatures; and as we passed down the main street the whole community seemed to be at our heels, craving alms. The loathsome disease had as Its victim the Infant at the mother's breast and the decrepit old man all ages, in all stages of affliction were before me. Home with face, hands and feet, enlarged, red, smooth and glossy; some undergoing spontaneous amputation of the fingers and toes; some with limbs partially but 1 must draw the curtain upon this horror of horrors! la China the subject knows no euch trlng as liberty; and the individual, who la but the fraction of the unit of society, which is th family, knows no rights as an individual. This being true, slavery is the necessary consequence.

Human beings are bought and sold as chattels; and quit frequently a childless man buys a boy from poor parents, to save hia family from going out of existence. A form of domestic slavery in which families of means buy slave girls la very common here in Canton; and purchasing them in early girlhood for from ten to one hundred dollars, according to their beauty and health, they work for their owners, without wages, until they are of a marriageable age, when they are sold In marriage or disposed of for other purposes, according to the price offered. But there is a kind of slavery more appalling still, of which I desire specially to write, namely, th slavery of blind girls. Passing down the streets of Canton at night my attention was called to numbers of blind girls, from fourteen to eighteen years of age. dressed in brilliant outer-garments, with their faces rouged and their hair ornamented with flowers.

A woman carrying a musical Instrument led several of these girls; and I have sine learned that they were owned by this mistress, who conducts them by night to the lowest parts of the city: and by their playing, singing, and In most disreputable ways she secures an income through them that enables her to live in ease and comfort. I have met no class of persons, not Mil! I III IIIMITITITTTT6 I 1 1 'C i excepting the sore-covered beggar or the, decaying leper, that seemed so pitiable as these blind singing girls. It is regarded as an affliction for a girl to be born In a Chines family; and when A PART the air! is blind her life Is one of less neglect and cruelty, and often. If the family is poor, she is sold for a small amount to one of these dealers in human bodies, who plies her nefarious business until death snatches her victim from her. This morning I visited five of these little blind girls who had been redeemed by a Christian woman before they were old enough to be led Into Uvea of shame.

This is the aad story of one of these little creatures: Her father beionared to a literary family and was himself an intelligent Chinese. The opium habit and gambling became the curse of hi life; and In order to gratify these passions he sold all of his property and his six children. Including this blind baby girL This child was re bought from a low mistress, who was training her to be a singing girl. One of these children ha a double thumb on her right hand: and It was through this deformity that she was rescued from a wretched life. Her mistress brought her to one of the hospitals, and requested that one of the thumbs be cut off.

When the surgeon declined to make the operation, she started off, saying: "Welt I will cut it away myself, for she can't learn the guitar with a double thumb. The doctor reported the case to my friend, and a few dollars redeemed the child, double thumb and all! She seemed as lively as a cricket this morning. No one can tell what these. Innocent children suffer when they fall into the clutches of these old harridans, and that the Government has any responsibility in the matter does not seem to occur the Governor of Canton. H.

Jan. 23. Traveler, new to th tropics, will probably be mildly surprised, the first morning of bis stay In a Venexuelan hotel, by a servant entering his room with a tray of comestibles at a preposterously early hour. The sun's charioteer has not yet waked. But the small green parrots, free and numerous as pigeons in a North American town, are all shrieking to the universe that dawn is near.

and a herd of donkeys in th inevitable neighboring corral are vociferously answering back that they ar painfully aware of the fact. Further sleep is impossible and would be unwise, no matter what one's habits may nave been, for the early morning Is, in the tropic, the most delightful portion of the day. So he sit up and proceeds to Investigate. A flash of color, naturally, Orst catches his eye a big, golden ball, as rich in perfume as in tint, a superb orange, almost bursting with delicious Juice. That ia all right, any how.

So Is the cup of eoffe beside It, hot, black, strong and generally very good. Much of the coffee used here is kept with the hull on until It is roasted, a wanted, and it seems richer in aroma than that which haa been cleaned for export. On a small plat is a nasty looking little dab of pale yellow, semi-solid grease, which the unwilling nose readily Identifies as rancid butter. Another tiny dish holds a diminutive cub of something hard, white, porous, crumbly, and tasteless, material that compels wonder whether it has been grown, made, or dug up. Three lumps of whit sugar and an excellent Vienna roll complete the lay-ouC The traveler, in self-defense set th butter outside his door, puts on little bit of the unknown substance in his mouth and then let the rest of It alone, eat hi orange, alp the coffee and will do well to take the roll, for this I all the breakfast he will get until 11 o'clock.

Later, In the patio where a pomegranate tree flourishes, and caged bird sing, and water, continuously dropping from a huge drip-atone Into the olla below wUn clepsydra-Ilke effect. lulls one drowsiness by its gentle monotony of sound the courteous landlord la asked about that mysterious substance on the OP PRINCETON.

Only that, and not much of it is made. But it Is Very fine; is it not?" "Oh! Superb. Perhaps because It is too good to eat, the traveler doe dot touch it again, but as long as he remains it will continue to come back to him that identical piece, which is recognisable by the little broken corner. No matter; it Is lnoftensive, and the service la doubtless well meant; but one feel that there haa been some terrible mistake about th butter, and asks if it. too, is Venesuelan? "Oh, no," replies Una landlord.

"That Is imported in cans from the United States. A little butler is made near Car acas to supply the rich at the capital, but only a little, and its price is very high." "Strange! I should fancy this an ideal country tor the keeping of cows." "No. There's a good deal of difficulty about keeping them." answers th host drily; and th traveler, who has yet to acquire a comprehension of th operation of revolutions, doesn't quit understand the significance of his tone. The 11 o'clock breakfast is a substantial meal, not confined to what ar known as "breakfast dishes in Northern countries, but hardly distinguishable from dinner except in th absence of soup and dulces, and perhaps a little less choice of roast meats. But In ail its variety and abundance one recognizes carelessness and lack of culinary skill and taste.

And th rang of material is made to seem narrower than it really is. This is especially conspicuous in the treatment of vegetables. Tamo, plantains and various things are boiled together and served in a pile on a huge platter, from which each person at th table helps himself to what he prefers. The style is crude, barbaric Each vegetable in the mess is susceptible. If properly treated, of affording a variety of tempting and delicious dishes.

There ar no better yam anywhere than these, the "cream" yam being especially good; yet a they ar served, even in the best hotels, they ar as bad a peeled potatoes boiled to sogglnes. The meat la alwaya bad stringy and unpleasant to th taste, no matter how It is cooked. Why It is so on soon learns. No cattle ar properly reared and fattened for th market, and th manner of slaughtering I Infamous. Th animals are lassoed In a corral and dragged out to posts, where they ar made fast for killing.

Their horns are often broken, eyes ar knocked out by stones and their thighs chewed by dogs. Mad with terror, agony and rage, fevered and suffering torture from thirst, they ar left standing ten or twelve hours before their throats ar cut Us time for th early-morning market. Then their flesh goes, warm with th animal heat, to th pot and the oven. In this climat if not cooked in a few hour it will putrefy, for there is no ice. Each day's supply must be freshly killed.

Of course such meat can not TTTTTTTTTrm TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Tet these bra-palated people, the old fellows especially, will fork them into their mouths, three or four together, and deliberately chew them as If they were white grapes. At breakfast as well as dinner, claret mixed with water is freely used, though, of course, every one finishes the meal with coffee, and chocolate is served if desired. The chocolate, by the way, is exceedingly good, being a product of the country which Is at it beat when crudely prepared, as it is here, and altogether free from sophistication, common elsewhere. AH" wine is imported even the imitation aorta. Tet the mountain slopes of Venesuela are admirably adapted for vine culture.

Spain forbade the growing of vine here when this waa a Spanish colony, and though she has been kicked out nearly eighty years, nobody has yet had the energy to try grape culture. A conspicuous novelty on the table Is an enormous platter piled high with little green bundle, each tied neatly with a green string. They are called liakis. At least, that 1 the way the name sounds, and the dictionaries throw no light upon it. It la probably a word of South American coinage.

Each package contains a teaspoonful of some minced or pulpy mess, wrapped and tied with pieces of plantain leaf. Their total constitutes a sort oc lottery. zou may draw suc- -weelftuff UUnVgeiblemauIr1: rarely getting a pair or any kind. One wad may be delicious the next rank with garlic or wickedly peppery.

it might be supposed their flavor would mix, but the plantain leaves prevent that. Eggs are moderately abundant; at least, one can generally get them for the asking. But they would doubtless be more plentiful If there were, not the same obstacle in th way of "keeping" hens that minimise th cow census.

These ingredients are molded into oval bails and exposed to a little warmth. Their outside may- be a little dried, but inside la sogglnes.

The peon, or laboring class, eat much of another and cheaper kind of are pas, made from the cellulose of some sort of root- that is said to be very nutritious when its poisonous Juice have been well washed out. These ar not in balls, but cakes, about half an inch thick, and large enough to serve as covers for the man-boles of sewers, a use for which their hardness and durability would seem to adapt them. It is affirmed that when well buttered and heated through, they become crumbly, and have a pleasant, nutty flavor, but that would probably not be true if the butter was of the sort imported in cans from the United States. The imagination shudders at the awful thought of that stuff heated.

In all Venesuelan cooking, where it may be employed, lard is used, to a reprehensible extent. Not only ar things cooked In lard, but the lard is cooked into th things. The hypothesis does not seem unreasonable that the extravagant use of garlic was by a wish to overwhelm the flavor of Inspired lard, though that purpose ha gradually been lost sight of as the garlic habit gained strength There is by no meajns so much eating of fruit among the Venexuelans as one would expect in a country where it is so abundant and good.

Those who take a siesta In the afternoon a general custom would be Justified in looking upon this meal as a second breakfast, and really It is not very different. But at dinner, there is likely to be pargs (a fish much resembling the red snapper) or some other good-sized fish, boiled or baked. Venexuelan water afford an Infinite vari--ety of excellent fishes, many of which are entirely unknown on the North American coast, but there are no means for keeping them, except by salting, and consequently the supply is always limited and rather unsatisfactory. Sheil-flsh do not appear on the hotel tables, and rarely on any others except those ot fishermen. There are oysters, but execrable, ones, flabby, watery, bitter, sandy, mucilaginous-looking little abominations, abhorrent to any one who has ever tasted an "East river, but eaten by a few persons here, probably a penance for their sins.

3. H. CONNELLT. Louisville claims credit for three great innovations in the cycling the first bicycle track in the United States, the introduction of cycle racing by electric light, and the first cycle track built with an entire cement surface. In Addition to these it bad the honor of being the home of Charles H.

Jenkins, who rode the first mile on a bicycle under three minutes. This occurred so long ago that the date has been forgotten. After the Southern Exposition buildings were removed in 1884. the oxrner of the ground on which the fireworks amphitheater waa built laid out a track for athletic events, and when cycling began to take a bold upon so many he hai a tsravel surface put on it, and then the public was treated to several series of races on what was considered the best track in this part of the world. In 1881 Kentucky Division, L.

A. held Its annua meet in this city, and the racing part of the programme was held at night vnder electric lights on this track, and was a decided success for an Innovation. In 1892. 1893 and 1894 all of the races held were run on this track, which was alx laps to the mile, Aa the speed of racing men increased, this small track became dangerous, and after the Prince Wells races in July, 1894, the National Racing Board declined to grant sanctions for races on it. The things we haven't seem to be the ones we desire most In life, and thus It waa with the wheelmen of Louisville.

Finding themselves without a track on which races could run. they at once came to the conclusion that the on object and aim of th bicyclist's existence was to have a track. They talked over It, and slept over It, and dreamt over it. A favorite place for recreation was Fountain Ferry Park, and much of the track talk took place there. The genial proprietor, Tony Lan-denwich.

desiring to keep in touch with hia friends aad patrons, naturally absorbed much of this track enthusiasm, and with th mora progressiva wbeeimen he began to lament that this on great desideratum was missing. Finally. Mr, landenwich had an inspiration in addition to a twen-ty-acr cornfield. Why not build a track and raise th wheelmen from this slough of despond? To have an insoirntion is to act with some people, and here waa no exception. When the track enthusiasts appeared at th park the next Sumlay.

Mr. Landenwich bad a proposition ready, lie agreed to furnish the ground and build a cement track, better than any other, if the wheelmen would form an organization and run it, besides building the itrindstan.l and fences. This was quickly accepted, and Mr. Landenwich mads a "rip of inspection to all th tracks a th country, and started th work as soon as he returned home. To Mr.

Cecil Fraser was asaignel the task of drawing tb plans and supervising th work, aad tb success of tha track shows that this work was well don. The stretch of ground on which the track was laid was so level that th dirt for the bauk-ing bad to be hauled to it- from an ad-Joining field. Th sand and gravel were obtained from the bad of the Ohio river, which forms th northern boundary of the park, and 6u0 loads of it were required for th concrete foundation, and Guu barrels of th best cement were used. After th plans were drawn by the engineer ha mad a small model at his olf.ee in tb exact proportion, aad then made all of hi calculations therefrom. The foundation was made as all granitoid foundations ar made, aad when the top dreasing was prepared immense quantities of lampblack were used to deaden the color and prevent th glare from affecting the sight of th riders.

Th curves of the track ar perfact half circles, with a radius of 150 feet from a line IS Inches from the pole; this makes the distance around each one 471.2 feet; the stretches are each 4US.7S feet, making the total length of tb track L7Gv feet. These measurements were tested by the city and county surveyors, wnoa certificates ar on file with the Racing Board. In building this track, as with all other FOUNTAIN FERRY BICYCLE TRACK, LOUISVILLE, KT. (Nearly all world's bicycle records have been mad on thl track.) bicycle tracks, the greatest attention waa paid to the banking. This is the point that makes or roars any track.

Fountain Ferry ia banked so that the turns may be ridden with absolute safety at a speed of 1:35 for the mile. These figures will, hardly be reduced in the next year or two. Starting on the homestretch the outside of the bank is one foot nine inches higher than the Inside; at the start of the first turn it Is raised to three feet and at the center of the first turn or curve it is five feet. and is carried around to the end of the turn at the same heighth. From that point it slopes down to one foot three inches on the backstretch.

At the beginning of the second turn it is three feet again and at the center of the turn it is five feet aa on the first turn and gradually rises to a heighth of seven feet, which is th highest point. From this point to the tape ia a down slope that has been of great benefit to the riders in pulling out from the bunch for the final sprint. Gardiner used it to great advantage in making hia phenomenal record during the early part of the spring of 1895. Fountain Ferry track cost when completed 110.000. and the frrand stand and fencing Jfi.uwt more, making in all without allowing a cent for the ground.

No description of the track would complete without some idea or description of the park adjoining the track. It is an ideal summer resort and haa been patronised by many of the residents of the city in preference to going to the well-known summer resorts of the North and East. Situated on the banks of the Ohio river, truly styled the Hudson of th West, the visitor can enjoy a good view of its placid surface slowly moving toward the Gulf to minirle with the waters from every point of the compass. On the opposite banks of the river are Immense hills, covered with all kinds of foliage In its natural grandeur, and its trees undented by the woodsman's ax. To the east can be seen the tall spires of the churches of the city and the smoke from its many manufactories slowly curling Its way to the skies above.

The visitor who once rests himself beneath the shade of the trees in the park regrets to leave its precincts for the turmoil of the city. Of the proprietor. It Is hardly necessary to speak; once you meet him. you will always remember his hearty greeting extended and will put him in your list of friends worth keeping. Louisville wheelmen are proud of their track, the park and Its proprietor, and lose no chance to say it, either.

The track is a world-beater, and It has been tested by the fastest racing men In the United States, every one of whom say it Is perfect for speed trials or for contests.
