| THE PRESENT SITE OF HONG-KONG SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO.

A Quarter of » Million People Now Living

Fishermen Could Bo Found—A Scene

Resembling Western Bustle.

Nearly 250,000 people live in the Anglo- Chinese City of Hong-Kong. Fifty years ago the site of the city was a bare save for a few fishermen’s huts scattered here and there. The great sea basin was rarely disturbed by a passing keel, A comparatively few Englishmen, assisted by a large number of Chinese, have *wrought the transformation. The site of every building seen in this picture was once precipitous. The requisite level for buildings was obtained only by blasting. In a recent report Sir William Des-Voeux, Governor of Hong-Kong, gave a graphic description of the city:

“The visitor sees a city of closely built houses stretching for four miles along the island shore, and rising, tier over tier, up the slopes of the mountain, those on the upper levels interspersed with abundant The silent and deserted basin has become a harbor so covered with shipping that even if the visitor had been round the whole world he could never before have seen so much inasingle coup d'cil. At anchor or moving are some forty and fifty including ships of war, large European and American sailing ves- sels, and hundreds of seagoing junks. while in the space intervening and around are many thousand boats, for the most part human habitations, with steam launches rushing in all directions.

“Going ashore the visitor sees long lines of quays and wharves, large warehouses teeming with merchandise, shops stocked with all the luxuries as well as the needs of two civilizations.

“Inthe Enropean quarter a fine town hall, stately banks, and other large build- ings of stone; in the Chinese quarters, houses constructed after a pattern peculiar to China, of almost equally solid materi- als, but packed so closely together and thronged so densely as to be in this respect probably without parallel in the world; and finally he sees streets stretching for miles, abounding with carriages (drawn for the most part not by animals, but by men), and teeming with a busy population, in the centre of the town chiefly European, but toward the west and east almost ex- clusively Chinese.

“Ascending higher he finds churches, public buildings and many houses, all of exclusively European design (extending now bout one-third of the distance up the mountain) for the most part detached or semi-detached, some of handsome appear- ance, and nearly all fronted with stone- arched verandas, which ata distance give somewhat of a palatial flavor even to the smallest; he would see moreover beauti- fully laid out gardens, public and private, and solidly constructed roads,some of them bordered with bamboos and other delicate- ly fronded trees and fringed with the lux- uriant undergrowth of semi-tropical vege- tation; while meeting here but compara- tively few passengers he would scarcely realize the neighborhood of a large popula- tion except from what has been aptly termed the indescribable hum’ of congre- gated humanity, arising from the town harbor beneath. 3

“Ascending still further to the summit of the ridge, he, in the course of a two- mile walk, would observe that not only Victoria Peak, but Mount Kellett and the heights above the Magazine Gap, with the many intervening knolls and ravines ata high elevation, are for the most part inter- sected by roads and studded with houses, similar to those last described, built in one or two places so close together as to pre- sent almost an urban aspect, and looking down whence he came he, while no doubt recognizing the grand mountain amphi- theater of fifty years ago,would at the same time notice that its arena,occupied by city and sh ipping, has changed as though by the wand of an enchanter.”’

Bentley's “Living Christ.”

It has been a question in the minds of the public why Mr. Bentley named his work ‘“The Living Christ.”” You have but to look at the canvas to see that it is not the dead Christ or the Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus King of the Jews, of the old masters’ work, but the risen Christ; Christ after resurrection: Christ who died to save the sinner. Christ who cast his eyes up to heaven and cried “Oh, God, why hast thon forsaken me?” and then passed into eternal life. It must have been a supreme moment to Him—one that took away the sad, sorrowful, haggard look which has been protrayed so often by the old mas- ters. His sorrows and troubles were at an end, but He lived and lived the brighter and more beautiful thought that was left to us. Though He died the sad and sor- rowful, yet He lives the bright and beau- tiful. That He liveth to-day there can be no possible doubt, and so the artist has portrayed him on canvas—a Godlike face, a good and true man, a Christ-man and one which to-day we do not doubt, but still do not follow.

The Christ that the artist has painted is one of warmth and happiness. “Come unto me and I will give you rest and peace.” You have but to look on the can- vas and you have both, for in the picture you see that He could give all of this would you but accept it. It is impossible to look on the Christ in any other light than that of beautiful in righteousness and power. When you look on the Christ as Mr. Bentley portrays him, you feel the warmth and love that none else but Him could give, for love in His face, and we all know that love wasin His heart. “Fear not, for lam the light and the truth and the way.”

A Turkish Cave,

They have a mammoth cave in Turkey which takes all the brag out of Kentucky. It is near Selefkeh. And where is Selef- keh? Well, it is near that part of the Turkish coast which is just exactly north of the Island of Cypress. One of the natives went in with a party and roamed around for five days, and when he came out he said he had tramped fully twenty- five miles uutil he came to ua large lake with great cliffs rising up in it. Having no boat he had to turn back. Of course, he was a Turk, and perhaps we should be a little careful about accepting his idea of cistance too literally; still it is prebable that the exit of the cave is at Cape Lisau el Kabeh, fifteen miles eastward of Selefkeh, right on the sea, where the waves dash in the mouth with a rush and a roar, which has given the place the name of “The Roaring Hole.’’ If one stands at the en- trance at Selefkeh, he can heara dull, booming roar, which is in all probability the waves at Cape Lisau el Kabeh, rush- ing into the Roaring Hole.—St. Louis Republic.

VICTORIEN SARDOU The Great Dramatist.

The mobile features of this great man are seen above. Sardou is the great wizard of the stage, clothing his characters in flesh and blood, and making them live. He makes, not mummies, but men and women, as witness the realistic portrayals of Bern: hardt, — chiefly the master’s thought. When body and brain are weary with work, anything that will drive away the blues must possess a great value, It is the ver- dict of Sardon that “ Vin Mariani,” the great tonic-stimulant, possesses this subtle power, This is what the great man says: “« Vin Mariani’ is perfect, gives health, drives away the blues, and 2s of such ex- cellent quality that whoever tastes it might almost desire to be forever debilitated and depressed, thus to have a pretext to drink it.” Celebrated men and women, the world over, have spoken similarly of the stimu- lating, nourishing effects of ** Vin Mariani’’ upon body and brain. A a from mure grapes and carefully selected coca caooe ** Vin Mariani” is more tonic than quinine, and yet it never constipates. For the convalescent itis invaluable; for all enfeebled people, it has a magic restorative property. Send your name to Lawrence A. Wilson & Co., Montreal, the Canadian Agents, and you will receive an album con- taining the portraits of a large number of celebrated people, who have used ‘* Vin Mariani ” with wonderful results, and who speak highly of it.

It Cost Him Nothing Except Some Good- Natured Guying.

A man stood in front of a window a few

evenings ago with his hat off. The crowd

passing by noticed that he was intently

studying something in the window, and at the same time feeling and rubbing his head. Some of the pedestrians stopped and watched the man 2nd the object of his study. Pasted on the plate-glas;: was a

phrenological chart, the various bumps being plainly outlined and labeled. The head in the chart was supplied with every bump and indentation conceivable to the most imaginative phrenologist

Regardless of the crowd he was attract ing, the man gazed bareheaded at the chart, now and then leaning over to study more closely the lines and figures, all the while testing his own skull. Ata low es- timate fifty persous watched the amateur phrenologist acquiring a cheap knowledge of his cranium by electric light.

“Wonder what he is?” remarked a by- stander. “Say. partner, hit it yet?’’ put in another. “Get a plaster cast,” “Go get your head shaved first, you'll feel better.” “Oh, pay the man fifty cents and get a certificate,” and many other similar quips were hurled at the man, but he never heard. At last some one asked h:m what office he was running for. He turned, saw the crowd of amused people, jammed his hat on his head and stole sheepishly away,

Poo-Bahs in Real Life.

In Panaria, one of the smaller islands of the Lipari, or olian group of islanés in the Mediterranean, all the offices of the community inhabiting the island are unit- ed in one person, Padre Michelangelo, who is priest, mayor, harbormaster, post- master, master of the marine telegraph and official general. He fills the whole of them to the entire satisfaction of the com- munity, being assisted in the telegraph department by his widowed niece. Sim- ilar cases are not unknown in England. At the revising barrister’s court, held on Sept. 4, 1804, at the Castle Eden Inn, Castle Eden, in the County of Durham, it transpired that in the township of Nesbitt George Brown, farmer, was the only resi- dent and therefore filled all the public offices. He levies the rates upon himself and pays them himself. The township of Birches, in the division of Knutsford. Cheshire, has only one occupier, John Holland, farmer. He is both guardian and overseer, makes his own rates collects and pays them, and looks after the com- pilation of the parliamentary register. Another like township is that of Wallers court, in the parliamentary division of Eddisbury, where another gentleman, the only occupier, fulfils the duties of all the public offices connected with the township. At the various revision courts he attends with his parliamentary voters’ list, which simply contains his own name.—Tid-Bits,

The Strength of Snails.

I havea weakness for snails, and one day, having found a fine specimen, I tied a fiue cord around his shell after having fas- tened a bit of iron to the other end of the same, in order to keep him until I needed him. The iron was bigger than he was, and I supposed it heavy enough to hold him, until my attention was attracted by a dragging, scraping sound on the window- sill} where-I had corralled my captive. This aroused my curiosity, and | determ- ined to find out how much one snail could pull.

i loosened the string from the belt of iron and made it iast to a letter-scales, and watched Mr. Snail as he pulled the indi- cator around to very nearly nine ounces. Then I took a little matech-bex, such as matches are bought in, put it on two pen- dils, by way of wheels, and proceeded to hitch up my snail. I then loaded up my miniature cart with cents and found he could puilit up toa weight of nine and a quarter ounces; that is, about twenty times his own weight, which was half an ounce,

How to Cross a Crowded Street. “Don’t be in a hurry; take it easy.” In following that injunction lies the whole seeret of crossing a crowded street in safety. Nearly all accidents come from rushing into danger by too great haste, Many persons appear to think that the Way to cross a crowded street is to wait until they think they see a clear way to the other side, then to make a run. If in this performance they come in contact with somebody from the other side of the street undertaking a like feat they become excited, making imminent a danger that before may have been remote. The safest way by all means is to take the advice: “‘Don’t bein a hurry; take it easy.”’ Following this counsel a pedestrian with his eyes about him and with a mod- erate amount of jndgment can cross a crowded street at any point with com para- tively little danger.
