Letter From Dr. J. V. Scott
The Gth installment of nn in
teresting letter from Dr. J. Vin
ton Scott, formerly n well known
dentist of St. Johns. Owing to
its length and the shortness of
our space it will be published in
installments:
Continued.
Now coming toward us is a
wedding procession, and just
oil to the side of the road a car
avan of velvet footed camels are
bringing in some of the winter's
supply of coal. These big state
ly fellows reminds ono of Bibli
cal scenes. Mrs. Scott thinks!
she would like a ride on one of
those big fellows, so later when
wo see one quieuy resting wo
speak to his master, get his con
sent and she climbs aboard.
ino sensation ono gets goes
through when the old fellow gets
up and is like going out over the
Columbia bar in a small boat.
She rides a Bhort distance and
goes over tho bar again, only the
weather gets considerably
rougher. Of course the opera
tion attracts a large crowd of Chi
nese anu altords them a great
deal of amusement.
We see barbers by the side of
the road doing forn few coppers
wnar, our barbers at home charge
tiuriy-iivo and nriy cents gold
for. And there is just as much
difference in their work as there
is in their price. Wo stop to
take a picture of ono at work
and get a good look at his equip
ment. It consists of a stool,
one dirty towel, ono dirty apron,
one pan of dirty water.ono piece
of laundry soap, ono cheap Chi
ncso scissors, ono set ear picks
and ono customer who seems to
bo enjoying himself. Hero tho
barbers clean their customers
ears. That is a sort of "Como.
Bha" wc don't get at homo. I
did not mention his charcoal not
ho carries with him to keop his
wnter hot.
Afternridoof several miles
wo arrive at tho gates of tho
Temple of Heaven. The Tem
ple of Heaven enclosure consists
of a park nearly a mile snuaro
around which is a high wall, in
which are five large buildings
and tho Altar of Heaven. This
great shrino was fust construct
ed in the year of 1420 in thn lat
ter part of tho reign of tho third
Ming Emperor, Yung Loh. He
is also the builder of tho large
wail around Peking. Tho Tem
ple of Heaven was renovated
and extensive repairs mado in
1889,' but now again going to
ruin, not baing used smco thq
revolution. First to tho right
as we enter is tho Palaco of Ab
stinence. This is where the
Emperor first went upon his on
trance. Ho spent tho night in
Tasting, preparing his mind and
body for the duties bofore.
