Con trast such efforts with The Noted Eelple House' of the London streets, and one must feel that we are outer barbarians.

Snub noses, squint eyes, lame legs and hump backs might all be used lu this way. A charcoal shop calls Itself the "Fountain of Beauty," and a place for the sale of coal Indulges In the title of "Heavenly Embroidery." An oil and wine establishment Is the "Neighbor hood of Chief Beauty.'' a description the realization of which It Is hard to conceive anywhere in Peking The Thrice Righteous" one would scarcely expect from an opium shop.
