The road in m was €0 narrow thet two ca blirely pass, and nowhere was it much wider than th e American alley. It fol- lows the telegraph lines, and in some places [ it has been built above the surrounding country. Here and there a prete was made of repairing if, and gangs of sold | and half-naked coolies were at work carry- ing dirt in baskets and spreading it over the holes: There must have been thousan of these workmen. They probably got less than 10 cents a day as wages. They worked ander overseers, and they sang as th worked. 1 was much interested in the w the road was pounded down. round dise of metal or stone about three inches thick and as big around as a tobacco keg was raised by eight men by means of ropes, which were tied to holes in its edges. A ninth man sang a song as the gang worked, and at_a certaln note they would pull on their ropes, sling the disc high in the air above thelr heads, and let it fall with a thud, In other places the road was pounded down with mallets, and the stones were crushed by half-naked Chinamen, who raised heavy sledges high In the air and brought them down with a thump. I was surprised how fast the men worked and what great quantities of earth can be cars ried in baskets. They swarmeld over the | road like bees and each human ant added his mite to the pile.

The ninety-mile ride from Peking to Tien- | Tsin was through one continuous stream of | carts, wagons, wheelbarrows and men. Many of the wheelbarrows had donkeys hitched in frol of them and wmen pushing behind them, and on some parts of the great plain | they ‘actually use sails in order to help the wheelbarrows along.

The farmers of Chiua do not live upon their farms. They have squalid houses bunched up together with feuces of mud about them, and there are no signs of comfort anywhere. The houses are of sun-dried brick, plastered with mud and roofed with long rows of reeds, which are tied in bundles and laid side by side on these rafters and then are plastered with mud. These roofs reach about & foot beyond the walls of the houses, d you have ususlly to duck your head it you wish to get under them. The huts of the poorer classes are often not more than fifteen feet square. There are no windows facing the street, and the only sign of life is & thin wreath of blue’smoke that curls out of the mud chimney of the shape of a gallon crock, which stanils on the roof. It would be very bad taste’ to look over the fence of a Chinaman's House, but I was forged to see Into some of the yards as 1 8i00d up in my cart when riding by Pirt and squalor relgned supreme.

The prince himselt was put Into the care of a man In the country and grew up with his brothers in the full enjoyment of country life. None of the usual court restrictions were about him. He learned to swim and shoot and hunt like any English squire’s son, and his rough life stood him in good stead in later days, when he needed' all his muscles to help him. But his mother, who was called Queen Henrletta, was pining to see him in Paris, and he was sent there to her, He was then about 14, and the glitter and polish of the French court dazed him.
