BOSTON BEANS IN CHINA.

American Progress Filling the Orient With Labor-Saving Noise and Clatter. A. returned traveler from the Orient •ays of American push: I saw advertisements forthesalejof the Waterbury watch filling whole columns in newspapers and large spaces on the outer walls of buildings in ail the greatcities of India. I heard the hum of the American sewing machines in the byways and broad streets of Bombay and Calcutta and Rangoon. I saw American lamps for burning American petroleum hawked about the streets on wheelbarrows for sale in Yokohama and Tokio and Shanghai.” He heard the clatter ot the American typewriter in Chefu and Tientsin and Swatow and Aintaf. He heard American dentistry praised as the best in the world, and he traveled with an American dentist who was on his way to practice his profession in the city of Pekin. He afterward received his printed circular announcing his arrival in the great imperial city, and his readiness to extract the molars of mandarins or fill the cavities of Confuoianists in the most approved style of American art. ••I was glad when I saw American tram-cars running In the streets of Tokio,” he said, “and the American windmill pumping water on the bluffs of Yokohama J was glad when I heard the click of Connecticut cloc <s keeping good time for Orientals, who are always behind. California canned fruits and Oregon salmon and Boston baked beans in hotels all over the East made me feel at home.”
