CAN TRUNDLE HEAVY LOADS 1
Chinese Coolies Able to Transport
Nearly Half a Ton on Peculiar
Wheelbarrow.
In the wheelbarrow used in China '
the wheel is set in the center, and
this supports practically the entire
load, while the handles are support
ed in part by a strap or rope over
the shoulders of the man who oper
ates it.
As a result the coolie in China
will transport nearly half a ton on
his wheel. Wheelbarrows are much
used in the country, where the roads
are but little developed, and we
have heard that passengers some
times make the entire trip from
Shanghai to Pekin, a distance of
600 miles, by barrow.
A two-passenger barrow will make
about 20 miles a day, and the coolie
is content with a pay of about 20
cents a day, or an average of about
half a cent a mile for each passen
ger. On the level, well kept streets
of the foreign quarters of such cities
as Hong Kong, Shanghai and Pe
kin the wheelbarrow coolie will
struggle along with a load of six or
even eight people.
IS HEAD OF HER FAMILY.
The Dutch woman of South Afri
ca is the head of her family and
must be obeyed by husband as well
as children. She marries very young
and has a large family. The wo
man of the cities is very different,
having a good education, and when
she finishes in Europe she is a most
attractive creature, with great ca
pacity for enjoyment. She is likely
to be musical, but not literary, as the
Dutch of that country have not
reached that phase of development.
The women of South Africa are
very much taller than the women of
Holland, and the city-bred girl is
generally slender and rather pretty,
which the Boer woman never is, be
ing fat and figureless at 30.
OLDEST DATED DECORATION.
Probably the oldest dated decora
tion in the world has recently been
brought to light by the discovery of
the funerary temple of King Sahu
ra, who lived 2,500 B. C.
It lies between the Pyramids of
Giseh and Saggarah, and has been
unearthed by Dr. Borcharts, direc
tor of the German institute of ar
chaeology at Cairo. Sculptured has
reliefs illustrate Pharaoh conversing
with the gods, conquering the Ly
bians, and receiving an embassy. Be
sides this there are hunting and fish
ing scenes, and most interesting of
all, a fleet of ships of the period.
ANCIENT WAR CLUB8.
Clubs were the weapons of primi
tive and savage men. Ancient speci
mens from Mexico are heavy sticks
grooved along the side for the inser
tion of blades of obsidian—that is,
volcanic glass. The Sioux club is ■
a Hat piece of wood, curving and
widening away from the grip, and
terminating in a spherical head,
which in modern times carried a
long spike, while the blades of sever
al butcher knives are commonly in
serted along the margin.
HAD A WIDE CHOICE.
On the occasion of the late jubilee
of the town of Wilhelmsburg in
Germany the burgermeister re
ceived a telegram, signed by all the
unmarried girls of the place, advis- 1
ing him to get married and saying 1
that none of the undersigned had
any objection to becoming a frau i
burgermeisterin. ,
COLD STORAGE.
“Yes,” said Miss Baclcbay, “Em
erson appeals to us women of Bos- ,
ton. Although he has passed be
yond we always keep him in our
hearts, you know.” '
“You don’t say,” replied Miss
Gotham. “I wcpder how it feels to 1
be kept in cold storage like that aft- 1
er death.” ]
