A T Singapore the traveler bound for Sinra quits the II nor and embarks upon one of tUa small steamers which take the riills to Bangkok. The steamer makes for the low niaiigroi-e-frlnKod ahore which marks his destination anil presently enters the muddy Bangkok river, writes P. A. Thompson In "Siam." On either side stretch salt marshes, coon hidden behind the lux uriant vegetation. Here on the oozy banks are fern-like attap and rank tropical growths, half submerged, while rising froia the firmer ground be hind are the slender trunks and grace ful fronds of arcca and coconut palms. Bangkok is twelve miles from the coast In a direct line, but so tortuous is the river that It Is fully three hours before we arrive. Here a score of small steamers are anchored In mid stream. Others lie alongside the wharfs, together with sailing vessels of all descriptions: merchantmen from Europe, rice boats from up country, and fishing boats from the gulf. Every where we see Chinese tolling. Boats ply to and fro between the banks, and every now and then the little vessels are set dancing and plunging In the wash of the steam launches which tear by. At length we, too, draw In to a wharf and land amidst piles of goods. Motley Throng In the Street Behind the wharfs and mills which line the river on its eastern side, we come upon a long street, white and dusty in the dry months, and in the rainy season a lane of mud. Here at all seasons a motley crowd of Chinese, Siamese, Malays, Hindus and Mahom etans Jostle each other, while coolies toil along at a foot pace with 'rick shaws in the last stages of dilapida tion. A crazy gharry, bearing a dis tent resemblance to a London growler and drawn by a diminutive pony, bumps over the uneven surface, and on one side of the road electric trams, packed with natives, are screeching along the ill-laid track. None of these methods of locomotion appeals to us. nor do we feel inclined to mingle with the throng of pedestrians. However, if v, are lucky we may flod near by a j)')le, at which we may hire a pair horse gharry, a sort of miniature vic toria. AVe will not look on while the ponies are being put In, for it is not well to know exactly how much string Is used in the composition of our har ness. It Is certain that the proportion Is large, but if only the reins hold out we must be thankful. On either side are rows of one storied wooden houses. The shops on the ground floor are quite open to the street, and we can see Chinese carpen ters, tailors and bootmakers at work Inside, while elsewhere cheap cotton goods and hardware are displayed. Now and then we pass a Chinese joss house with fantastic roof-rldge, and through the open door we see an altar decked with tinsel and peacocks' feathers. Official Quarter and Royal Palace. Our driver expects us to direct him at every step, so If we say nothing he will keep straight on and we shall pres ently come to the old city wall, white washed now, and much disfigured with telegraph wires, but with picturesque battlements shaped like the leaves of the sacred Bo tree. Within we are at once sensible of a great Improvement ns we bowl over the well-kept surface of a broad avenue, planted with plane trees, and bordered by neat rows of brick houses. As we cross a canal we catch a glimpse of trees reflected In the water, and trim lawns, and beyond them pagodas blazing with pure gold la the sunlight. This Is the official quarter. Here, too, is the Itoyal Palace, whose brilliant roofs and iridescent spires are seen over the dazzling whiteness of the outer wall. Just outside the city wall is the Golden Mount, a bell-shaped mound, faced with brick, but so overgrown by trees that It has the appearance of a natural, hillock. On the summit is a little shrine surmounted by a pagoda, and to it leads a flight of steps, wind ing about a hill. From here we look down upon a forest of palms and plane trees, through which break the -red roofs of the houses. Everywhere ris ing above the trees are graceful spires an.d the manifold roofs of temples, with their tiles of rich orsirg er Jeep purple, great splines of celnr rplnst the clear blue S..v. To this pia;e we may often return to watih the dawn stealing over the paddy Mils, whilst at our feet the palm trevs rise through a veil of purple mist; or when at evening the p'.nit rayi (if the setting sun are shootlug halfway to the ze nith we nuiy come up here and see the thousand pinnacles of Bangkok, out lined In the rifts between low-lying clouds agaiust a smoky orange sky. KEEP BUSY AND LIVE LONG Notable Examples of Longevity Among Men Who Have Elected to Remain In "Harness." Maybe It used to be that "the good die young." but It doesn't look as though they're doing It now. Take, fur Instance, Rev. Albert Yo gel of Je::nnette, Pa. He's one hundred and two years old. He's never smoked or chewed tobac co or drank Intoxicating liquor. Never quarreled or fought with another man. Always trying to do good and to per suade others to behave themselves. Rev. Mr. Vogel is the oldest active minister of the gospel In the United States. Hard work, lots of walking and an occasional fishing trip is his formula for a long and happy life. And this reminds us that Rev. Pr. Aaron E. Ballard is president of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting associa tion, New York, and Is niuety-clgbt years old. "I never would have lived to this age," Doctor Ballard said, "if I had re tired at sixty and commenced twirling my thumbs In Idleness." So It seems the good don't die young if tlk'y . keep busy. New York World. SAYINGS OF CARNEGIE Educate man and his shackles fall. I hope Americans will snme day find more time for play, like the wiser brethren on the other side. Immense power Is acquired by assur ing yourself In your secret reveries that you were bora to control affairs. The day is coming and already we see It dawn, in which the man who dies possessed of millions of available wealth which was free and In his hands ready to be distributed, will die disgraced. Labor, capital and business ability are three legs of a three-legged stool ; neither is first, neither is second, neith er Is third ; there la no precedence, all being equally necessary. He who would sow discord among the three Is an enemy to all The first and most seductive peril, and the destroyer of most men, is the drinking of liquor. (Mr. Carnegie him self was a total abstainer, and gave his employees at Sklbo castle a 10 per cent advance on their wages every yenr they reported that they had not touched liquor). From the Books and Public Addresses of the Ironmaster. Fish That Spin Silk. Silk stockings are very expensive nowadays, says Pearson's Weekly. The most costly of all this kind of hosiery, however, la made from silk which Is not the product of the silk worms, but a species of shellfish called a puina. The puina makes (ts home In the warm waters of the Mediterranean round Sicily. It lifts an odd little tube at the end of its tongue, Out of this tube, spider fashion, or tllk-worm fashion, It spins a silk thread wllh which It fastens Itself to any rock to which It wishes tb adhere. When the puina moves on to fresh feeding grounds Its silken cable Is left behind. This cable, which la called byssus, the Sicilian fishermen gather. Byssus weaves Into the softest, finest, shcenlest of fabrics ; but It Is very rare, and the stocking woven from It con sequently are hi has been told ex ceedlngly expensive.
