A View In Bangkok.
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

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.
